100. Smile

Louie Rose.I've meticulously arranged everything for Hendrix, scheduling his dates with each girl in a precise order. This comprehensive plan will unfold over a month, allowing Hendrix to balance his busy work schedule. He will only meet the girls on the days he's free.The first date is with Vivian, a supermodel and the daughter of a renowned merchant. Her fame precedes her, and her image is a constant presence in the fashion world. Today, Hendrix will have the chance to meet her at the prestigious golf course. That's their date.I walk, almost running, just to beat the time. I'm not yet late, but I have to be here first before the two of them arrive."Miss Louise!" Cynthia called me. She raised her hand with a piece of paper she was holding."Cynthia, thank goodness!" I said, almost running out of breath. I thought I couldn't make it in time. There was no traffic, but the car's tire got flat for a reason. Thank you so much. You are my savior!" I hugged her quickly and hurriedly ti

101. Throw

Saxe Hendrex.Play along, investigate, and collect more evidence before catching the culprit. Stay close to her and keep your eyes open.My jaw tightened as I observed Rosy conversing with Vivian, the tension in the air palpable. Confronting her now would be futile. I must gather more evidence about her false identity. Once I have enough, I can bring her to justice.Now, my profession is working on my side. Dammit.I cleared my throat as Vivian ordered a few things around from Rosy. It seems like she's the type of woman who does not want to walk a few miles, let alone run a few hundred miles away from here. Golf requires walking, and this is my exercise. I may not be an expert, but I can hold my own in this game.I approached them without being noticed."How wide do you think the golf course is? I prefer the indoor type. I think it's easy if it's indoor. Can you suggest that to Hendrix?""Oh? I thought golf was one of your pastimes," Rosy looked at Vivian in confusion."Indoor ones,

102. Investigate

Louise Rose."I can't believe it," I twisted my lips as I looked at him. I chuckled without a smile, and he responded with a smirk."Do you hate me so much that you did not even let me win?" I felt my heart twist, and my blood rose.He won the game even after three rounds, and he clearly stated that he didn't want me to win in this child game."Are you doing this on purpose?" I sighed, and my shoulder slumped.He slightly laughed, shook his head, and used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.He's so hot, still handsome as ever, even with dirt on his face. He will be the same, and nothing will change."I'm not, Rosy. . . I'm very competitive." He took off his golf hat and combed his hair with his fingers.My face frowned as reality hit me. I did my best to win this child's game. If I had known that he was good at everything, I would not have agreed to this. But of course, I can't do that. He's Rosy's client, and I am Rosy in his eyes. I have to do my job politely."

103. Picnic

Louise Rose.I felt exhausted after that first date attendee. I'm not sure if I can manage the second one, but I hope the second one is not as dramatic as Vivian's.I've been observing Hendrix. Never once did he say or state about his ideal woman. So, it's up to me to observe the qualities he prefers when choosing a bride. This may contribute to my research on the remaining girls. I'm confident that one of them will stand out according to his standards.After Hendrix left the Findlaech-Crinain household, I didn't hear any news about him. No one knew what had happened to him for those years, and I lost the news about him after I moved to Asia to work.He didn't know me personally, and we haven't met either. It just happened that I became one of his fans because he was famous. But those were the days. We are living in a different era now, where everyone can blend into our society. And one thing, I'm no longer interested in him. All I want now is to excel in this job and ensure everyone

104. Panic

Saxe Hendrix."Where's your date?""It's all over." I moved closer to her and sat down a few inches beside her. I looked at the preparation she had made, and the view in front of us was surely beautiful."Are you kidding me? You did not give her enough time, and you just ended your second date just like that?" Anger was written all over her face.I chuckled and helped myself. I grabbed another glass from the picnic basket, poured an ample amount of juice into it, and drank it."She's not my type. I don't like her. I don't waste my time." The words echoed in my mind, a mantra of disinterest that concealed the brewing storm of my secret plan. Amusement danced in my eyes, a mischievous glint that she could probably sense. Our eyes locked, and her gaze was like daggers. I couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle.Cristelle is not my type. I had already researched all the girls on the list, and I secretly managed to get information from all of them from Denver.None of the girls caught

105. Your matchmaker

Louise Rose.I managed to cook the family recipe Rosy had for years. With fresh ingredients from our garden, I baked and grilled a chicken. I also made a few side dishes and salads. When I finished, the doorbell rang, and my heart beat fast. I know it was him."Hello, just in time!" I conveyed as I welcomed Hendrix inside.His manly, fresh scent lingered in my nostrils as he stepped inside. I shut the door quickly, and my eyes followed him. He's wearing a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, and cowboy boots. He looks incredibly attractive, making it hard for me to breathe.Calm down, Louise. It's not a date! It's just a formality between a client and her temporary boss. That's it and nothing else."Flowers?" He beamed as he handed me the flowers."T-Thank you..." I don't know if I will be disappointed or impressed, as I quickly noticed these flowers were not from a typical shop. They were hand-picked with different varieties, and the freesias in the middle smelled so good. They look

106. Plan

Hendrix.And I was right. She's not Rosy, the matchmaker, but Rosy's niece, Louise Rose.Xavion gave me all the details. I have read through it and felt sad that her mother left her when she was only an infant. Her mother's sister, Rosy, has cared for her ever since. Now, it makes sense that in every conversation I have with her, she always mentions her auntie and that she has the same name as hers. She loves her dearly. I can sense that.I also discovered that the real matchmaker, Rosy, lives in a care clinic. She retired from the business a year ago. My mother was probably her last client before the accident. That probably changed her life, and so did Louse."She works in Singapore and is now a matchmaker, but it turns out she's not a matchmaker at all?" Glenn laughed.I gritted my teeth, and I felt a pang in my chest. I had never had this experience before. I was angry, but at the same time, I felt sorry.Why do I feel this way? She should be put in jail because of this. This is

107. Fiancee

Louise Rose.Unease grips me. Something feels off. This is not right.Two staff members guarded me, and they seemed friendly. I stepped into the elevator, took a deep breath, and smiled at my reflection in the mirror. I knew I looked good tonight. It was funny, but it took me a while to decide what dress to wear until I settled into a simple one—after all, it was not my date.This is Hendrix's fifth date, and I'm teetering on the edge of a significant decision. I hope that this will be the last one because right after this, I'm going to tell him that I will quit.The amount of money that was deposited in my account this morning was more than enough for a lifetime. I never saw this coming. We only agreed to the right amount, but Hendrix deposited more than twenty times.Something's not right. There's tension in the air, a brewing storm to come. I can sense it. What's Hendrix up to? Is it something good or something bad? Who knows? Maybe he has met the fifth candidate, and it happened

108. Let's do this!

Hendrix."What?" Her eyes widened, and my effing heart lit up like fireworks. I love her reaction. It's a piece of art, and I want more from it."You're kidding, right? Tell me you're fooling, Hendrix.""No. I'm not." Confident with myself, I managed to finish my dessert.She couldn't talk for a few seconds and stared blankly at me. I chortled slightly and wiped my mouth."Is this your punishment for me? For not telling you the truth about me? Oh, god. . ." She looked away, now drinking her water. I gritted my teeth as I glanced at her quaking hands."I don't give punishment, Louise. I simply offer them something in exchange for their mistakes. You're not the first person to do this, but you are the first person I want for this plan to succeed."She sighed, and I felt her shoulder dropped."I'm sorry if I deceived you. Please leave my aunt out of this. Rosy is not part of the plan. I did this on my own, and you can only blame me. Don't include her." She looked at me firmly.I'm not s

109. What I like?

Louise Rose.So, how will I do this?I looked at Hendrix, concentrating on his instructions and the details of how we met, but my mind was nowhere. It was flying in different dimensions, taking me back to when I was sixteen.Changes are: Hendrix has grown mature, solid, dominant, and more snobby than ever. I wonder if he could smile like how he used to when he was still intact."Are you listening, Bree?" he raises his brow."Oh, yeah." I swallow the sand in my throat. I wasn't paying attention at all. His deep blue eyes are brighter this time than usual. I remember when I was a teenager, Hendrix's eyes turned greenish, and it was beautiful. "Okay, then, we are good to go."I blinked fast as he stood up, getting ready for us to go now. We will meet his sister, his half-sister, to be precise. I didn't know this until he told me the truth about it. Hendrix is a Findlaech-Crinain, but not now because he is a Mondragon. He left the door ajar on the car's passenger side and abruptly mov
