Amihan's POV. I had an extra bounce in my steps as I made my way to join Judith for breakfast that morning. I was feeling very excited and looking forward to meeting my mysterious crush. despite the fact I had told him I would be busy over the weekend I wanted to be sure he was serious about going on a date with me and wasn't simply jumping into things like a desperate lady. "Good morning bes," Joining Judith at the breakfast table, I greeted her excitedly and placed a kiss on her cheek. I grinned at the shocked expression on her face. "I can tell you had a beautiful sleep," she said, and I grinned. "Yes, I did," I replied. "I Hope I could say the same of myself," she frowned. "Work-stress?" I picked up the juice off the table and inquired. She nodded and took a sip of her juice. "I'll keep saying you don't have to work if you don't want to," Judith rolled her eyes in response. "I love my Job," she replied, and I arched a brow, "Then why complain if you do that much?""The C
Jessica Pov's. I quickly grabbed some fabric from the company store and prepared to head over to Mr. Antonio's residence. That morning, our appointment was set for ten a.m. I let out a sigh of relief when Maxwell knocked on my office door. I had been hoping he wouldn't be late and ruin our chances with one of my favorite celebrities that I couldn't wait to meet.For him, it was simply work, but for me, it was a realization of a dream. I had always envisioned myself styling one of the biggest stars in the Philippines. I was ecstatic when the CEO requested me to work on Antiono's profile and that was one of the reasons I was offended when the CEO paired me with an inexperienced person rather than allowing me to manage the contract alone or perhaps matching me with a more suitable partner. "I'm very glad you arrived on time. I was scared you wouldn't meet up," I blurted out and he smiled.He answered, "I've arrived since 8 am, to avoid being late," and I pouted. That morning, there
Maxwell's Pov. Due to my workout schedule, I had to get up early the following morning, and when I opened my eyes, Amihan was the first thing in my thoughts. I sighed as I lay on my bed, recalling all that had happened the previous night, and then stood up to freshen up for work. Since I would be working alongside Judith, the last thing I wanted to do was be late for work. As I walked out of my hotel apartment, I chuckled as I thought about my chat with Amihan the previous night and even though she hadn't responded, I was already looking forward to our weekend date. As soon as I got in my car, I quickly texted her before I drove, (Hello beautiful. I hope you had a beautiful night last night because I did. Chatting with you was the antidote I needed to calm my nerves and I wondered the effect spending time with you would have on me.)I thought about how lovely her smile would be when she opened my message that morning. Judith had not yet arrived when I went to her office to che
Dalisay's pov: I paced around the living room, thinking of the best way to tell my husband about my planned trip that weekend. Karl had usually let me travel on my regular vacations without any restrictions, but for some reason, this one made me feel a little uneasy. Perhaps because it was a weekend time-out with Adam and it was our first time traveling on a vacation together. Karl was in the bathroom when I finally worked up the nerve to enter our bedroom. I sighed and took a seat on the bed. He left his phone on the bed, and a few minutes later it rang. "Honey, your phone is ringing," I said as I sat on the bed. My attention was drawn to the caller identifier. "Papi" was the caller's saved name, complete with heart emoticons. I looked at the phone questioningly and stepped closer, but the ringing stopped. "Was that my phone?" Karl asked from the restroom."Yes, Honey," I turned to face the bed as the phone started ringing once more. The caller was the same person. I was
Karl's POV: I was left stunned by what Amihan had done during my visit. Without uttering a word, she made fun of me. I couldn't bring myself to be upset with her actions. Even her cruel behavior could not erase the fact that I was in love with her.The cracking of the room doorknob interrupted my thoughts as I showered. Dalisay had left the room a few minutes before, so I knew it had to be her. Perhaps something had escaped her attention and she had returned to get it. Outside, Dalisay and I were more in love than we were indoors. We only followed up with each other after we had been apart for a considerable amount of time. I knew nothing about her other than the fact that she tried to tell me everything about her daily schedule, for reasons that only she knew. I had previously made an attempt to get close to her, but all of my attempts had been unsuccessful, so I gave up. She mentioned something about my phone, but I couldn't hear her clearly because of the running water. A ph
Judith's pov. I paced around my office as I thought about the best way to approach Maxwell. He had walked past me that morning. Although, he pretended like He didn't see me. I thought about approaching him then but he kept a straight face and walked quickly without paying any attention like he knew what I was thinking. After I told Amihan everything that had happened between us the day before, she asked me to apologize to Maxwell. Despite not knowing him, she chastised me for the way I had behaved. I was starting to think about what she had said about me taking a vacation from my work. I was hurting from my separation from Jake, and Maxwell had been unlucky to meet me at just this moment. I heaved a deep sigh as my mind wandered. What if apologizing to him right now was a bad idea being that I had offended him the previous day? He might still be upset and end up snubbing me. I thought about giving him more time. Would that not make things worse and make him feel I was sincere
It was a beautiful Friday morning. the atmosphere was so friendly that the morning sun shone brilliantly as I stepped down from the car and slammed the door. I walked into my office with poise, as my dad had sent me the job report from our previous month, which showed that the Philippine company had performed exceptionally well. "Good morning, Miss Amihan," Ciara greeted with a broad smile that made her eyes seem like they were about to close. "Morning Ciara," I replied swiftly. She reached for my handbag and added, "You haven't received any calls yet this morning." "Thank You, Ciara," "A congratulations message had been sent to the company's mail by the New York team," Ciara told me with a smile."Yes! My father called me last night. We had performed exceptionally well," I smiled satisfactorily in response. "Ma'am, the CEO also sent promotion letters to some of our staff," she exclaimed with enthusiasm.Ciara was among many who had fought for a pay raise and promotion. Despi
Judith's pov. After my last encounter with Maxwell, I made up my mind to be distant from him and never give him a second glance. I had purposefully ignored him as he passed my office area that morning. He seemed astonished, but I could also see he didn't mind. The CEO had given my responsibilities to a lower-ranking employee that Friday to make up for the stress I had endured with Maxwell, so I had less work to accomplish that Friday. The fact that Maxwell had not been racing around like he usually did made me believe he had been granted the same liberty. Not that he was assigned challenging assignments the way he made them seem by exaggerating how busy he looked. He had fewer responsibilities than other lower staff members and was always given preference by the CEO, making him his favorite. An opportunity that should have been saved for distinguished employees was presented to Maxwell on a silver platter without any prior experience.When my phone rang, I went for it in my bag
