Chapter 47
In a blink of an eye, Friday had come. After work, she and Justin will head straight to the domestic airport to catch their flight to Coast City. If all things flow as scheduled, they will be home before dinnertime.
“Mom,” Serene held the phone by her ear to speak to her mother. “I’ve booked a flight back to Coast City later this afternoon.”
“That’s great Baby! Dad, and I missed you. Do you have any requests for dinner?” Carol sounded enthusiastic.
“Nothing in particular, Mom. Also…” Serene cleared her throat before continuing, “I’m bringing my boyfriend with me.” Her face was burning red as she picked at the invisible dirt of her free hand. She felt like her mother was glaring at her and she simply had to look away.
“Who did you say you'll bring over, De

The atmosphere inside the car was light for the rest of their journey. Justin still could not believe that the formidable-looking Conrad was where Serene got her personality from.His warm eyes would shine like hers when he smiled. He had an infectious laughter. Like Serene, he put everyone at ease easily.The wild beating of Justin’s heart has calmed down significantly because of Conrad’s deadpan jokes. He had not laughed so much in such a long time.After a while, their car ascended a hill with two almost identical houses at its peak. Both were facing the ocean. As Conrad’s car approached the house, Justin saw a petite middle-aged woman waiting by the door. By the looks of it, she’s Serene’s mother. She had a thin frame like Serene. Moth

Justin rubbed his eyes and accustomed himself to his surroundings. He woke up not to the warmth of the sunlight kissing his skin, or to the chilly space beside him, rather it was the sound of Serene’s shout coming from the balcony. He scrunched his brows. What’s going on with my woman? Did she go crazy? Why is she shouting this early in the morning? He got out of bed, wearing only his pajama bottom. “Kurosawa!” she shouted, waving her arms in the air. The person whom she called had his yawn caught in his throat. Seeing Serene on the opposite balcony took Dylan by surprise. He knew that the Lewis’s and Ellis’s were neighbors, but he did not know that Mary’s and Serene’s rooms were directly across each other. Serene yelped when she felt a powerful arm hug her waist and sniffed her neck.

Oblivious to Justin’s icy stares, Serene and Mary swam until they reached the edge of the pool. They looked at the calm ocean before them, their backs to the people in the lanai.“Sis, are you sure you are happy with Justin?” Mary asked, cocking her head to the side to look at Serene.“Yes, I am. I have never felt fulfilled in my life before him,” Serene answered with a twinkle in her eyes.“But Shen, he’s Bryan’s ex. Your messy situation will soon catch up with you,” Mary expressed her concerns.“Before agreeing to be with him, we have already discussed that, and we both agreed that all that mess is in the past. Our desire to spend a life together and be happy together outweighs our situation.”

The weekend flew by quicker than Serene and Justin wanted. They had so much fun over the weekend and would love to have stayed longer.Carol and Conrad accompanied them to the airport.“Please visit soon,” Carol said to Justin as she was hugging him.“Yes, Mom,” he promised.“Take care of Serene while she’s at Hyacinth Bay,” Conrad said as he also gave Justin a tight hug.“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll take care of her.”After saying their goodbyes, they both boarded. It was less than an hour flight, but Serene still slipped in a catnap. Justin read an inflight magazine while holding her hand.

Cough!Serene felt shivers run down her spine at the sound. Oh no, is it Justin? Having experienced Justin’s jealousy when she and Rich were running tests, she developed hyper-awareness of the space between her and members of the male species. Justin could be narrow and closed minded when possessed by the green monster.Her head snapped towards the door expecting a tall, long-haired man standing by the door with a brooding expression. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Al instead of Justin.“You’re here!” her excitement was evident in her voice.“Yes. Justin and I discussed the next phase of the project. How are you guys doing with the codes?” He walked towards the table where they worked and took a quick glance at her mon

Alex and Serene worked with Rich for another round of testing. They continued getting errors but were making progress since the errors were no longer duplicates of the previous run.Serene and Alex focused on resolving the errors they’ve encountered. She did not notice the brooding man outside the conference room looking at them. He tapped on the glass to calltheir attention, but neither took notice.His sharp eyes looked sharper when Alex moved closer to Serene. One hand leaned to the table, and the other held the back of her chair. Serene focused her attention on the screen and from time to time would look at him, then back to the screen.He picked up his phone and picked her name from his contacts. The vibration of her phone startled her. Justin’s name di

He started the car and drove out of the parking without giving her an answer and kept his eyes on the road. His hands gripped the steering wheel, the veins on his arms became more prominent.Serene kept looking at him. He’s obviously ignoring her. She let out a sigh and leaned her head on the window.They were already at Magnolia Crescent when she opened her eyes. Justin had already gotten out of the car and was going in the door. Shaking her head in disbelief, she unbuckled herseatbelt and got out of the car to follow him inside. This is the first time he did not open the car door for her.He immediately locked himself in his study. Serene let out a deep sigh when she did not see him in their bedroom. In the past, she's been able to ea

Time moved quickly for Serene. In a blink of an eye, she’s already handing off her project to the person who will be Rain International’s Account Manager. This meant that she no longer had to work with Arthur and his team because she had prepared all they needed to roll out the software to their employees.Justin did not bring up the topic about her imminent return to Coast City anymore. They simply lived one day at a time, enjoying each other’s company. When his time permits, they would go out on movie dates, a luxury that Justin has not done in a long time. However, what Serene enjoyed the most were their quiet moments — their intimate meals at home, enjoying a TV show together, or their simple chats about anything.Any outsider would judge their lives as boring. They have unconsciously built their own routine around their indivi
