Shailene's POVSunod-sunod ang call, text messages, and chat sa'kin ni Selene last night kaya tinawagan ko na siya agad para hindi na siya mag-alala pa. It's Saturday and puro nga walang ginagawa ngayon."What happened between you and Charles? Ack!" she giggled.I sighed. Sana ay hindi biglang pumasok si Clark kasi for sure nasa baba lang 'yun or just outside, sa pool side or lumabas talaga ng bahay."Shut up, girl!" I responded that made her become silent. "I don't know if you were informed by what happened last night but for sure hindi 'yun lumabas sa media because you know Clark. Muntik nang may nangyari sa'min ni Charles pero dumating siya." Lumabas ako sa balcony ng dahil baka biglang dumating si Clark at marinig pa ang pinag-uusapan namin ni Selene."What? That's bullshit! Ginagawa niya nga 'yun sa iba e,"I sighed.Ginagawa nga ba talaga niya ang gano'n sa iba or it's just me who's thinking na may nangyari sa kanila ni Nicole kaya hindi ako nagpapigil sa kung ano man pwedeng
I really don't have any plans for today. Wala na rin masyadong pending works here. I already read some reports and it's all good naman. I was about to order food when Selene texted. Ano na naman kaya ang trip nitong kaibigan ko? Selene:I want to treat you to lunch.I was surprised by her message. She's not really like this. She's a girl who only wants late night gimik lalo na't, she's not working on their company. She's just living freely.Me:Sure. Where?I replied to her immediately because I think she has something to chika with me. She texted me the address and I immediately left my office to go there. Malapit lang naman and the place is good."Good morning, Ma'am. Do you already book a table?" the receptionist asked.I smiled. "I think so, I'm with Sel—" I stopped when the receptionist interrupted me. "Oh! It's VIP," she said.VIP? Is she regular here?Iginiya ako ng receptionist sa private room where my friend is. Grabe naman itong babae ito. In a private room pa talaga.Ther
Shailene's POVIt's Friday and I really don't want to go to office. Pwede naman sigurong mag-absent diba? Tinatamad ako!Clark is not on my side anymore maybe he's eating breakfast. Bumangon na ako at umupo na lang muna sa kama when my phone rang. I answered it immediately. It's Selene! Ang aga aga pa. What's this na naman?"Hey! We're going to Palawan. Sama ka?" she asked.Palawan? Anong gagawin namin sa Palawan?"We're with our friends naman. Sige na! Pwede ka naman umabsent. It's your own company naman e," she added.Huh? Magpapaalam ba muna ako kay Clark? Anong gagawin ko?"W-wait, kailangan ko muna sigurong magpaalam?!" sagot ko.I was so shocked when Clark came out from our walk-in closet wearing his suit probably going to work. Nakataas ang kanyang kilay like he's waiting me to explain what he heard."Where are you going?" he asked.Naibaba ko ang telepono at kinabahan na nakatingin sa kanya. "Selene is asking me to go with them to Palawan," I said."Give me your phone," he sai
Clark's POVI don't know what's happening to me lately. I'm being possessive to her. Why am I jealous? In the first place, we don't even know if this relationship will work but surely I badly want this to work.Ilang ulit na siyang nagtanong kung bakit lumagpas na anim na buwan but we're still together. I want to hold on, wala akong balak na bawiin ito. "Sir, you have a business meeting abroad," Jefferson said, my secretary.Shit! I don't know if I want to go out of the country. Selene is a badass friend, parang wala akong tiwala kasi puro kalokohan ang alam. That Palawan thing wasn't really good buti na lang at walang nangyaring masama sa kanila. "That's on Thursday," Jefferson added.I nodded. "That's in London, right?" I asked.He nodded. "Yes, sir! That's in London," he answered.Sa dami ng ginagawa ko hindi ko man lang nabanggit sa kanya na flight ko na bukas. I'm now packing my things when she arrives."Aalis ka?" she asked emotionlessly.I stopped packing and I faced her. Nak

Like, the heck. I'm like a teenage girl who wants to always have a casual party.I'm now walking at the red carpet when I saw a guy in front and I think, a lawyer? I guess or a judge. What the heck is happening today?Pagdating ko sa dulo ay inalok ng lalaki ang kamay niya. I accepted it. Ayoko naman na may mapahiya dahil sa'kin. Mom went in my side and kissed my cheeks. "Please be a good girl. We love you so much, my dead. Accept the fact that this is your wedding and birthday celebration." she said.Mom saw an amusement in my eyes. I really didn't expect this. Yeah, I don't do boyfriends because I really know that this day will come but I didn't expect that it's in my birthday. I even don't know this guy. I think, one of our family friend that I really don't know.Mom also gave me a bouquet befor
Shailene's POVI'm in mall to buy some designer's dress with Selena. I really need to buy some dresses right now because I've been so busy in our business and I really think I deserve this.I was about to pick the yellow Gucci dress when someone's hand picked it. I was so irritated when I saw Nicole Arlene Valdez. She's also the heiress of the Valdez Glamours Company or the VGC. I really hate her since I met her in one of galas that attended back then. She really wants her company to be in top of mine."This is mine," she said.I rolled my eyes. "It's not yours. I was about to pick it pero kinuha mo agad. Bitch!" I replied.She laughed sarcastically. "Oh! Shailene Kendra Aquino, you are like that now? You want just some dresses like this. How about magpagawa ka na lang kaya ng sarili mong dress?! I think, it will not fit you. Tumataba ka!" she insulted.Napatingin ako kay Selena at halata ang gulat sa kanyang mukha. "How dare you to say that in my friend? Hindi naman siya tumataba. Bak

I know what kind of guy he is, he's a guy who's really workaholic but always seen in bar with friends. Playing with girls."This is your new employee." mom introduced our new employee. "She will be in charge in designing dresses under Gracy." mom's added.I smiled at the girl. She looks like new but I think her ideas will work a lot. "I'm Trishalyn Mae Lopez. You can call me Sha, Miss!" she spoke."Welcome in our company." I replied. "See you around," I smiled at her and into my mom before I left them.I went back in my office and I saw Selena. She looks pretty today in her red spaghetti strap dress and her coat is in her hands. "Looks pretty today huh?!" I chuckled.Umupo ako sa upuan ako and she also seated. I know that she has a new chika now. I really don't know why she's not keeping her self busy in their
Shailene's POV"This are the tickets." Clark put it in my front.I arched a brow. "Why we need to book a flight if we can just use our private jet?" I asked.Yeah, I have private jet. It's a Dad's gift when I graduated. I rarely use it because I'm too busy in our company."Do you have one?" he asked.I smiled confidently. "Yeah, I have." I said before I went in my room. Leaving him alone.I finished my pending works before I started planning for a new business. Business that I own not from my father. I don't know how to start it without any people in my side but I don't want a help from my father. I just want to build this alone or with Selena.My phone beep and I immediately check it. It's a message from unknown number.Unknown number:It's your housemate. I got your number from your friend. I didn't asked this. She just chatted it to me. What are you doing rn? My blood boiled as I read his message. What the hell, Selena? Why is she's doing this to me?My phone beep again for a mess
