I“Babe, don’t tease me now. I am not fine, to be honest.” Atty. Ninia said upon hearing Atty. Wilgreg mentioning about marriage over the phone.“Hey, sorry Babe, I just wanted to lighten up your mood. But I was serious with what I said 'though. I am so willing to marry you. Anyway, I will be calling my friend at the NBI department to check on this matter. Don’t worry okay.” His voice was reassuring. He does not want her to worry, and most of all he does not want her to think of him having a connection to whoever published their photos.“But our pictures are already scattered everywhere online now. How could it be removed?” Atty. Ninia said with exasperation.“Would you really want to remove them, Babe? There is nothing to be ashamed of in those pictures. Anyone who will ask me now, I will be answering them frankly that the woman I kissed as seen in those pictures is the first woman who truly captured my heart. Actually, Babe, I am planning to contact the reporter who wrote the news a
ISoekarno Hatta International Airport, Tanggerang, Indonesia.Atty. Lulu hurried to catch her flight going to the Philippines. She only has one hour before her flight. As she boarded the plane, she was able to relax. She closed her eyes and felt the excitement she has, to see Wilgreg Monaro again.After a while, the pilot already announced that their plane is about to take-off already. Atty. Lulu closed her eyes again as she wanted to sleep. She has had no proper sleep since yesterday when she saw the interview of Atty. Wilgreg. She did not notice the man beside her.The man was smiling as he looked at Atty. Lulu. He is half-Polish, half-Indonesian. He looked at her again and then also closed his eyes and slept. He thought of talking to his seatmate later.Atty. Lulu has been awakened when the pilot announced that they are already nearing the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, Philippines. She scrambled to her feet and opened her bag to get her blush on. She could feel how
IAtty. Lulu could not take it anymore. She dialed again Atty. Wilgreg’s mobile number, which she did while on her way going here at the Lincuja’s Shipping Company. Unfortunately, just like a while ago, her calls were put to futility. Atty. Wilgreg did not answer any.Extending more of her patience, Atty. Lulu stayed and waited for Atty. Wilgreg to come out while sitting on the couch in the reception area.The receptionist would glance at her from time to time.At around five o’clock in the afternoon, Atty. Lulu was still sitting on the couch, replying to some e-mails through her apple mobile phone when Atty. Ninia suddenly entered the reception area of the Lincuja Shipping Corporation. She is with an old man in an expensive executive suit with an attaché case in his right hand. He looks like a lawyer or a businessman.Atty. Lulu’s face reddened as she saw Atty. Ninia, looking at her with a creased forehead.“Atty. Lulu, you are waiting for Atty. Wilgreg?” Atty. Ninia asked while glan
I The moment Atty. Wilgreg saw Atty. Ninia, he immediately stood up and greeted her with a light kiss on her right cheek. "Hey, Sweetheart," he greeted her in a murmuring way. “Atty. Ferrer, good afternoon; thank you for coming even if my call was of urgent nature.” Atty. Wilgreg said while handshaking with Atty. Ferrer. When they were all seated already, Atty. Ninia informed Atty. Wilgreg about Atty. Lulu. "Wil, Atty. Lulu, is outside waiting for you." “What? When did she arrive?” He asked with a surprised expression. Atty. Ninia looked at him with a puzzled look. “I don’t know. I thought you had a communication already. Anyway, would you want to see her first and greet her outside before we start our meeting?” “Nope, let us start. She can actually wait. This matter is urgent.” Atty. Wilgreg said while opening a brown envelope on the table, in front of him. Atty. Ninia nodded and smiled at him. “Atty. Ferrer, here are some pictures based on the CCTV footage of one of the casino
I The group ended up in an Italian fine dining Restaurant in Manila part. Atty. Lulu automatically took the seat beside Atty. Wilgreg. Fortunately, the table is a round one, so the other side of Atty. Wilgreg is still free, which he offered with a smile to Atty. Ninia. It was quite awkward and Atty. Ferrer could feel it, thus he tried to start some conversation until the atmosphere slowly became clear. “Ahh, Lulu, where did you check in?” Atty. Wilgreg asked suddenly. “At the Manila Hotel Wil,” she replied while giving him a quick glance and a sweet smile. Atty. Wilgreg nodded and replied, “I see. It is just nearby here. Good thing we chose this restaurant.” Atty. Lulu, nodded. “Yeah, I was actually happy; I will not be driving far,” she chuckled. The dinner went well; thanks to Atty. Ferrer, who became the ice breaker almost throughout the dinner. Whenever there is awkwardness between Atty. Lulu, Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia, suddenly Atty. Ferrer would crack a joke. It will
IWithout Atty. Wilgreg’s knowledge, Atty. Lulu went to their house to visit his Mom, Carolina.Carolina was so surprised to see Atty. Lulu.“Lulu, what a pleasant surprise! When did you arrive? Come in, come in.” Carolina hastily invited her unexpected guest. She was surprised by her unannounced visit.“Just yesterday Tita Carol. I had dinner with Wilgreg and Ninia last night,“ she replied smiling while entering the living room of Carolina’s house.“You are here for a vacation or business purpose?” Carolina looked back at her unexpected visitor.“Oh, I just missed the Philippines Tita Carol and life is getting boring already in Indonesia, so I decided to come back and stay here for a little while.” She smiled again after replying to Carolina.“You just came in, on perfect timing; I just finished baking my banana choco moist cake.” Carolina smiled leading Atty. Lulu to their dining area.“Wow, how lucky I could get to taste that again Tita Carol. You know it has been one of my favorit
IIn the evening, around six o’clock, Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia on their private jet flew to Palawan. After barely one hour, their private jet landed on a heliport of a big, luxurious private resort in Palawan.They saw another private jet, stationed at the heliport. Atty. Wilgreg noticed that the heliport can accommodate at least three helicopters. It is actually a big place. He was in awe while looking around. Suddenly, admiration and pride for his father's ability to create and maintain wealth surged through his heart.From the heliport, they were fetched by an electric club car going to the main resort where a big villa of around twenty lighted suites, all facing the ocean with a series of dramatic cascading terraces going down is magnificently glowing at night.When Atty. Ninia saw the resort, she suddenly remembered a beach resort in Mexico which, she saw being featured on the internet as one of the most beautiful beach resorts in the world. She was in total awe when she saw
I Atty. Ninia opened the window of the suite that Damian Lincuja prepared for her. It is just beside Wilgreg’s suite. She looked through the window and gazed upon the wonderful nature around the resort. She made a deep breath savoring the freshness of the air. She holds her breath as she lingered her eyes on the view sprawling into her vision. The cascading stairs surrounded by lights down to the very tip of the sea and the vastness of the ocean where you can watch passing ships, boats, yachts, and the like plus the sky full of stars and the moon on its full circle; indeed, what a sight to behold! Atty. Ninia can’t stop appreciating the view in her sight and wondered how it might be to stay in this kind of place for a bit longer, say a month. Not only the marvelous view that made Atty. Ninia love this place of Damian Lincuja; when their dinner was served, Atty. Ninia’s love for this new haven of their Company Chairman put her in total enchantment. They were served with prawns, cra
