CXXXII. The Same Horizon
Instead of confirmation, there was rather confusion about who is this familiar person before them. One claims that he cannot be the Riley Ramirez they knew and others affirm that Oneil and Riley are the same people. Instead of joining the confusion secretly lurking in the workplace, Oneil continued his initial inspection on the place.
“Mr. Mercator, after this we will go to the Mariano Ancestral House. It is a good place and the foods they prepare there are great,” Mr. Angeles said while the other staff of the Oda Infrastructures are walking with him. “Are you already done?”
“Yes sir,” Oneil said and wondered if the Mariano Ancestral House is somewhere far.
“It is just near here, almost adjacent to the Grand Barn,” Mr. Angeles said.
Since it is getting dark, they proceeded to the Mariano Ancestral House to have some rest. When the clock strikes at 7, Oneil went out from his room to proceed to the dining hall

There will always be the good times that can cover the hurtful ones and are always ready to replace it with sweet memories worth a lifetime to keep. It is in Oneil’s sweet gesture to make sure that Essi is sent home safely. Even Victor cannot rival with that anymore because he made sure about that.“What do you do if you feel like someone else also likes you?” Oneil suddenly thought of asking while they were on their way.“To me?” Essi laughed at the thought of having a hunch. “I’m not someone that boys can like right away. It would be a delusion to think that they like me just because of gestures they can do.”“It’s not hard to like you,” Oneil said. “But what would you do if they attempt to hit on you?”Essi tried recalling if she encountered one. “Well, it depends. I would try to calculate if they are just doing it to show off with their friends or its just too ra

Oneil knew his name because of the tag on his uniform. Milo is also friendly that they immediately formed better conversations to talk about. “So he really got rich?” the man whispered to Milo but Oneil still hears him while feeding the mud pony with a bucket of carrots in his hand. “I told you about this. He’s originally rich,” Milo replied. “But you got your own source of money right?” He asks as if inheriting wealth has been an issue. “Yeah, I’m an executive assistant from the development team of the Oda Infrastructures,” Oneil replied. “That sounds cool. The last time we met you, y

The workers of the Grand Barn are interested in meeting Oneil again. They surround him with many questions. But unlike the other workers, Milo remained away. He rather proceeded on helping Essi on taking off the saddle from Felicia.Essi noticed how Milo is serious in his work or maybe it is because of the heat of the sun that causes him to scowl. She remained familiar to him because when Essi wanted to give a lunch meal for Oneil, Oneil already had one from a good share prepared by Milo for him. “Aren’t you friends with Oneil?” Essi asked as she brushed Aggresso’s back. It is a question of already knowing the answer. But she just made it to secure a good start of a conversation with him.“Yes ma’am. We were close,” Milo replied whi

But Oneil was only looking down while receiving the key of his car and staring among the pages of the development plan.Oneil thanked her but he noticed that she is still remaining in a few meters away from the construction site. So he glanced at her for a clearer version of her face. “Do you need something? I think you can inquire to the reception area. This area is off-limits,” Oneil said.The woman made a few steps backward but she returned on looking at Oneil. “D
