Victor assured to Oneil that he would return to personally talk about the new matters concerning Essi’s case. When he turned around, he noticed how Geovensia and Rain are having a serious conversation. “Is there something wrong?” Geovensia wanted to know what else must be going on inside Rain’s mind. The man sighed before her. “I’m afraid that you probably do not know what happened to Ma’am Essi,” Rain said. “And I feel sorry that I was late on helping her.” “What happened to her?” It may seem obvious in Geovensia that she already knew what happened. But she couldn’t help but stammer through her words. Rain paused. He went to the corner of the storage room to sincerely tell her what happened. “Would you believe me?” “Why are you asking me like that? You were not spilling what happened yet,” Geovensia pulled all the friendliness she could to know his side too. With slow steps, she went right next to him. “”I’m afraid that I might be blamed about what happened to Essi,“ Rain said.
Oneil is not numb to understand Essi’s hesitance to show up in the Grand Prix. The aim was to get Essi have fun with the best sport to her interest. But if it is inconvenient for her to do it, then Oneil would opt to not watch it too.“Well, who’s going with me then? Our entire school will watch it,” Gwyneth said since she pleaded Oneil to go with her.“You can join your friends then.”“They’re bringing their family. It is awkward for me to just show up there by my own,” Gwyneth complained. Perhaps, if she only knew earlier that the Grand Prix will be held in Bordeaux, she could have informed her parents about it before they went abroad to represent the other interests of the Mercator Group. She stretched her back on the couch was sentencing a bored expression to the ceiling.“It would have been fun if Essi will go with us,” she uttered and was turned down again when Geovensia explained to her that she also needed to work at her shop. She was supposed to immerse in this disheartened
Victory has sided with Melissa in the show jump event of the Grand Prix. It has granted her a better chance to contact Oneil and remind him about the race course they can attend to spend with the weekend break. “I’m sorry to inform you late that I have other plans for the weekend,” Oneil politely said. “Oh, so you can’t come here?” Melissa responded but dismay is already sounded through her voice. “Were you avoiding me? I was just hoping that we can get along? Didn’t I invite your cousin too? She was supposed to join us.” Oneil explained that he was not trying to get her too troubled. But he also has to attend work. “Why not try to see your schedule and where you would be heading?” Melissa suggested excitedly as if she knew his day well. Oneil followed and the statement there matches the venue set by Melissa. “Wait, does this mean that you are the client of the Oda Infrastructures?” Melissa chuckled. “No, please. I’m sorry but I’m just someone who referred your company to my fr
There is only one thing that could bring Essi to an overdrive of her talents and austerity to the best of its possible level. And it is at the touch of the threat to her love. She didn’t care if it is Melissa who had troubled her at the complex. The things concerning herself are one thing. But anything to Oneil is another. Such a thought of him being surrounded cluelessly by Melissa’s technique to join the dinner of the race course makes her blood boil down the core. But she has mastered the art of calmness, her façade couldn’t even show that part of reality from within her. Except of Geovensia, no one else knows about her low key jealousy.“What do you want to do after this?” Oneil asked while smiling sweetly at her. He has a towel with him and by this, he kept on taking of Essi. “Wait up, you still have some sweat on your forehead.”Essi’s eyes cunningly glanced at the glass panel of the house where she met Melissa’s reflection watching at them. Never in her life did she wished for
Oneil was never fond of assumption. But he could feel one when there was something odd going on. When Melissa had been too attentive to befriend him, that is when he knew that he must keep his walls even stronger to secure Essi’s affection for him. He was glad that his favorite Queen Calista’s is can still accommodate his reservation within that day and are more considerate to him when he called for the date to be moved.While waiting for Essi’s late night response on his chat, he proceeded to look at Marika’s phone. It had been in his possession by Grant’s permission. There was nothing special in it except that it is filled with many photos of him and Marika. As much he doesn’t to remember this woman anymore, he needed to be careful about what he is wishing for. He cannot afford to lose his loved ones again. So he kept on viewing the phone especially on its gallery panel. But his attention were not anymore to the unimaginable closeness he had with Marika declared by the photos, but t
It was too much for Melissa’s chagrin to find out that Oneil would never consider anyone’s affection for him anymore. It was an outright rejection and stings more because Oneil chooses to love the girl that Melissa disliked the most. But it never meant for her to give up.She always believed that Oneil must have a weakness, a particular melting point. Once she would find that out, Melissa will make sure to utilize that knowledge to the best of her advantage. She is not yet sure if she is already on the way for it. Hence, she remained in her friendly smile in every time that she would see Oneil. While it is obvious that she is already hurting her schedule, she would visit the building of Oda Infrastructures as frequent as possible.Melissa already lost count with her number of visitations. So the current one could only remain as an nth. Her armor was her red-painted lips. Her ready potion was her words. Her best invitation is a dinner reservation for two. Melissa tried all her best to
When they already arrived to a five-star restaurant, Oneil made sure to prepare Essi’s seat. Essi only said a typical thank you. For Melissa, it was as if Essi is not impressed to Oneil’s gallantry. Essi even ordered the most expensive beef dish.“That is your favorite, right? Vintage cote de beauf?” Oneil asked with gladness and thought of requesting the same as well. “And Syrah to pair this.”“Are the two of you leaning towards expensive meals?” Melissa doesn’t like the rib steak. If she has to join them, that would make her credit card already problematic.“I miss this kind of steak since my mom often prepares this for me,” Essi said. “It’s not just about being expensive.”“Oh really?” Melissa nodded to let the blabber get by.“Show me a great deal here then that doesn’t have to be characterized by the price,” Essi challenged.Melissa knows too that the star of this restaurant is the rib-eye steak. Even if the roasted salmon is the most affordable among all dishes, she knew that it
Just like ordinary and not busy days, Essi gets to visit Oneil again to the building of Oda Infrastructures. It has always been among Essi’s routine to talk first to the higher officers before she could arrive to her intention of talking to Oneil. Although they are situated two departments apart, Essi and Oneil still glanced at each other amid their talk towards the other people. When they at last got their rendezvous, Essi hurriedly meandered towards him while holding her bag modestly. Oneil on the other hand, opens up his arms to hug her. Essi didn’t hesitate to engulf herself in this sought out embrace. They went together towards the right wing anteroom where the high ceiling could allow them to see the urban night of Bordeaux. While they were seating, Oneil took out a long velvet box and gave it to Essi. “For you,” he said casually. “You should open it.” Essi smiled upon seeing a bracelet with Akoya pearls and emeralds. “Oneil, this is so pretty.” “Do you like it?” Oneil is m
