Beatrice has been silent eversince they rode his car, she was still shy and embarrassed since she showed up in front of him without wearing bralette, and she knew it was really visible as her shirt was a little fitted."Tris, what are you thinking of? your face are so red." Marcus suddenly noticed and asked."Nothing, just keep on driving!" She shyly said."Is it because of earlier? I swear I didn't look at that." Marcus said as if he didn't saw it but he did."Oh shut up, you've seen it for sure, I'm embarrassed, maybe I shouldn't because you'll see it soon anyway." She suddenly teased.Now the situation turned the opposite, Marcus was red faced, he was hot from what Beatrice had said, does it simply mean she will soon approve him as his boyfriend and much better marry him?His tummy suddenly felt like a paradise for butterflies with the romantic excitement he is feeling.Marcus played the radio after that to avoid being noticed that he was so overj
Not even five minutes Marcus have taken his seat beside Beatrice, he was already tired of hearing everyone praise Diego for the mere three thousand dollars he paid to get the room.Diego was there with his head all high up, he likes the way he was being licked off like a God, but he immediately frowned seeing Beatrice not minding him, but instead was acting all caring to his show off boyfriend, Marcus.He figured that he needed to spread his wings more, and the signal he's been waiting finally came as he expected."Diego! you have spent three thousand like it's nothing, so where do you work?" A former girl classmate asked him.He smirked before boasting, "I work at the Glorious Hotel Branch here in Housland, I am working as a team manager!" The familiar name made Marcus face bright, he didn't expect this man to work for him, how tragic will he end today? he thought as he wait for him to attack again.Diego catched a glimpse of him with a face that looks
It was already ten in the evening when everyone decided to call the reunion off, everyone was tipsy except the two, Beatrice and Marcus.But everyone was still anticipating how Marcus will pay the bill with a hint of nervous, after all they were too engrossed on drinking that they didn't care how Marcus didn't drink at all, they only realized it now that maybe he planned to drunk them all then escape.Diego who spent the most immediately called the staff to get the bill."Hey! give the bill to our special guest! Marcus! he owns a one star hotel so you better kowtow to him!" His ridicule became more rude as he was the most drunk of all.Everyone didn't care and burst into laughters, Marcus smiled that made some of them sweat cold, it's a look of someone with an evil plan.Deep inside, thet were praying that he was not planning to ditch them, Diego also thought of that so he stood up even though his sense of direction was already bad and went to the door to gu
The two was silent on the car, Beatrice felt sorry for Marcus as he was humiliated the whole time in their reunion, she felt useless as everyone was ganging up on themShe realized that she should have not come since she has no good friends in the past after all, everyone just tried to be close to her to share with her spotlight but deep inside, they were criticizing her and envying her.On the way to her house, Marcus's phone rang, he answered it without minding her, she felt like he trusts her so much and she felt good deep inside.She saw that it was Mr. Drake Hart, his secretary."Sir, all your orders have been accomplished, anything else?" The man formally greeted them."No, that's all for today, good job." Marcus replied."Sir, Diego Hax is reported to be seen outside the Glorious Hotel of Housland, shouting your name continuously and pleading, do you want to get rid of him?" Beatrice was confused and shocked, What did he do to Diego? "No
The two went to Beatrice's home feeling heavy, they felt so emotional after exchanging secrets, but deep inside them both, it was a step forward to get to know eachother.Marcus didn't became hesitant, he told her his story, about how he was just a tool for an evil plan of her mother.Beatrice felt that they both were suffering the unforgettable scars of the past, it was haunting them both and they are both searching for answers and solution.Her's is to find her parents, Him is to fend off the dangers that is starting to creep to their lives. She knew and realized that right at the moment, he's a danger not only to her but her family, an enemy targets the friends of it's opponent so she is naturally a pawn to eat.However, she wasn't feeling any trouble in her mind, she was ready to risk anything since she loves him too, too early but she can't deny she had fall for him.She planned to answer him sooner as possible, maybe if he asked her on a date again, it
Marcus felt frustrated, Eversince he went inside the house, only Beatrice and his little brother, Harris cared to talk to him.Roland and Wilma acted cold after knowing he lied to them, but he really didn't as he was just scared he might not be accepted to the family, besides, they are really workmates! he's just superior..Fortunately, they still agreed to let him sleep in the house for the night, Wilma and Roland was not mad but just disappointed, they still have conscience."Beatrice, give the visitor pillow and blanket, tell him we can't afford a guest room so he will sleep in the couch in the living room." Wilma snobbishly said, Beatrice could only just facepalm and nod.She prepared and gave Marcus the pillow and blankets.With an apologetic look, she gave it to him, "I'm sorry, maybe they'll talk to you tomorrow, just let them pass through their childishness for tonight okay?" Marcus sighed and nodded, looks like he's going all night thinking how
Marcus didn't expect how his day would turn into a very busy, and when he say busy, it's worst than doing business all day long."Marcus, Are you tired already? we got a lot of customers for today." Roland asked with ridicule in his tone."No sir! I'm perfectly fine!" He replied as he carried the bucket full of fish.Yes, The Goofer's own a place in the wet market and it seems to be the biggest so they probably had already big amount of buyers.It was just before lunch but he was already soaking in sweat that made him look like he just got out of the shower.Beatrice was looking at him from the stall on their opposite, her mother owns the fruit and vegetable stall across them, she was taken away by her mother earlier before she could even bid goodbye to him and he was left with Roland Goofer to do the heavy works.Beatrice wanted to atleast wipe his sweat but her mother always orders her anything, even the smallest thing to keep them busy.She saw Marcus loo
Marcus will go home happy, he was finally accepted by Beatrice's parents, after the lunch they shared, the two talked to him alone and told him they were happy for then two.His heart was warm with the praise and blessing he got from Roland and Wilma Goofer, but something doesn't sit right before he they ended talking.The emotion he saw was definitely scared, although he was confused, he let it pass, besides, he might be just imagining, he's too tired and dizzy to have everything right in his mind.Beatrice bid goodbye to him with a smack on his lips, his tiredness felt instantly blown away. "I'll go home now Ma'am, Sir." He humbly said, he bowed afterwards as a respect."Ma'am? Sir? Call us mom and dad instead!" Wilma happily said, Beatrice was confused but immediately realized what happened with their talk, her eyes sparked happiness as she looked at the two."Alright Dad! Mom! I will go home!" Marcus became more energetic as he bid goodbye for the s
