“The government does not pay attention to many provinces, as a result of which people have lost their education and continue to live as they have. They had the idea that if you’re born poor, you’ll die poor. What can we do to keep this from happening?“ As I slid the projector, I glanced at them one by one. Now I’m going to show them the “project” that Tyron and I worked on in Guangdong province. They focus on me, and the attention appears to be interesting.Lorenzo glanced at me as he drew the pen across his lips. On the following slide on the projector, I’ll erase the grins on his lips. I didn’t make a mistake when I moved it, since he read the words highlighted on the screen. He get up and then darkly gazed at me. “Eco-Fri Construction aids the young, attractive woman who has sympathy for individuals who need support.” Okay, Lorenzo, just vent your resentment. Possessiveness will drag you down.“When I went to Guandong province to visit a friend who requested me to take action on th
“Miss Lizelle!” Estella exclaimed. “You’ve returned! “ Estella rushed over to me and welcomed me. Nana Sena was the next to come. They are the only ones here because I met grandfather Adelard outdoors gardening earlier. Because of the volume of Estella’s voice, it had been a little noisy earlier. The woman was the last to approach me.“Where is Tyron?” I continue to ignore the lady in front of me and stare straight at Estella as if I don’t care who she is anymore. We’ll converse more than she does. I know Tyron is still in the office because it’s still early, but I’m not sure why I asked.“Sir Tyron hasn’t returned yet. You know he’ll be returning home at night,” she remarked, and I felt like I wanted to be swallowed by dirt. Why did I ask her, knowing full well that she had an irrepressible mouth? I heard the woman standing behind me stifle her laughing. I raised an eyebrow as I stared at her. Is there anything amusing here? I’m tempted to slap her, but I keep my cool. Mark, on the o
“As you are aware, everyone allocated to the various provinces has departed. Because I was still taking care of stuff, we were the only ones remaining. There was a problem with my company, so I informed you late about the meeting that was held,” Lorenzo remarked solemnly, and I was excited to know what his problem was with his company. I could sense his trepidation as we board the plane. Back then, he had only praised me. We could almost run out of time every time we meet because he kept saying lovely things to me, so I’m wondering why he’s so silent now.“Is your problem too bad?” I said, but he didn’t appear to hear me since the area was too large and the powerful wind was eroding our words. His look remained unchanged, so I sped up the walk so we could go inside. When I got inside, I asked him the same thing again. “Is there a problem with your company?”He is now staring at me. Nothing had changed in his expression, but it still appeared tense and confusing. He doesn’t say anythin
I jumped in a panic because of the loud voice that called to me and at the same time shook my body. I could feel the wetness of my whole body, even the sweat. When I finally opened my eyes, I saw Lorenzo’s worried face. For the first time, it wasn’t the scary and bad Lorenzo I saw. I saw the other side of him; I saw his real worried face, not fake.The stewards quickly ran towards us as they handed me the water. Even the female steward I could see her worried face. My forehead was still full of sweat even though the aircon was on. When I looked outside, it was already dark. How many hours did I sleep? The steward left, and Lorenzo took the glass the steward had given me. I breathed to calm my strong heartbeat because of the dreams.Lorenzo touched my forehead, then wiped it with his hand because I was still weak. I didn’t argue anymore. “Are you sure you can do it? Look, you have a fever. You must have said so for us to cancel. Even your skin and lips are pale.” His two eyebrows are s
I didn’t interact with them at first and let Lorenzo explain since my body couldn’t take anything. Now. I can’t even get up. It’s just bothersome since it’s still happening where I’m already planning. I also attempt to open my eyes so I don’t dream what I dreamed. It’s frightening since my fever can worsen if I dream about it again. I’m also becoming hungry because I haven’t eaten since last night and during our trip. So maybe I’m failing as well and my body has no energy.When the door creaked, I couldn’t see who was behind it. I also don’t believe I’ll be able to sleep well here now since they built everything of wood and everything makes noise. I’ve also seen that some houses are so old that it’s frightening that one of them may suddenly collapse while it’s pouring heavily. I was going to get up from lying down when I was stopped and told to go back to bed.“You shouldn’t move first to get your resistance back. You’re probably too tired, so you have a fever. You should also rest on
Lorenzo did not speak to me so that I could rest, but he did bring me food for lunch and dinner. He was correct, and I regained my strength since I felt better the next day. It was cozy, and by the time I ate that night, I was feeling a little better.I heard birds crowing, and I think I awoke early since I slept early the night before. I stood up and glanced at the cabinet that had been prepared for me. Lorenzo didn’t sleep here, so I suppose they assigned us to a separate cabin. I brought my baggage and a backpack. I took the suitcase first to place my clothes in the cabinet so that I wouldn’t have to struggle every time I took a shower and dressed. Next, I took up the phone and tried to open it, but it was dead. I also assumed that I wouldn’t be able to use it here because there was no signal in the hidden provinces. It is tough to find a signal, just like in Guangdong. When I was about to get up to go out and ask where I could find the toilet, I heard the call to me.“Lizelle?” The
I am outside. I turned around to look for Tyron. Even though I drove him away, I still wanted him to stay here and watch over me, even if it was unfair to Wendy. No matter what I do, I can’t stop the overflowing I feel for him. I could barely sleep with the kiss he did on me. I turned my back to pretend he was there, but I only saw the approaching Lorenzo.“Let’s go?” He pulled me into the sea, he said. He told me we would look for fish there because there is a cave in the sea where the fish are staying. He was holding two large-pointed bamboos. He says that’s what we are going to use; to catch fish.I turned around again to look, but I didn’t see Tyron, so I just shrugged it off. Volunteers will be coming tomorrow. We will see how many students there are. Other adults still want to learn. With the amount of population here, I think quite a few can be listed. I just hope they send more volunteers. After we count them, the school will be built next. Depending on the quantity, how much
Lorenzo and I were both surprised when I came out of the big grass and he was also passing by. I don’t know how long I’ve been in Tyron ’cabin. I looked back to see if he had followed. Lorenzo also looked where I looked.I walked over and took his hand to pull him back. I no longer waited for him to ask. If he were to ask, we should be far away from here because Tyron might suddenly appear here next to me and I would lose all my reasons for Lorenzo. He hadn’t carried the pointers anymore. Maybe he left them or he forgot to bring them back because he was swimming earlier.When we finally saw the many people, he started to ask. Fortunately, we were far away because I saw Tyron coming again, so my eyes widened, but he went straight to where the children were.“What exactly are you doing there? I thought you’d returned?” He took another look towards the rear where we had passed a while ago, and Tyron removed his farmer’s hat so Lorenzo wouldn’t spot him. While I was doing so, I drew him e
