CIV: Pedro and The Trap
Sally sighed out of relief, as both Oli and Ryan have seemed to calm down now. She was glad it did not get out of hand. Sally has always been the group’s mediator with her grounded and logical thinking.
Sally asked, “Well, do you still have that alcohol you supposedly made for Maya?”
“Yeah, I do, but why?”
“We might have to use it on Pedro.” Sally gulped hard and continued, “And I guess I’ll have to pull out another one of those dancer costumes. Once Pedro’s guard is down, we can know more. So Oli, each shot, you’ll have to find a reason not to drink it. Otherwise, you’ll end up getting drunk instead.”
“That may be hard, but sure, I’ll try,” Oli said while gritting her teeth. She was in a bad mood and did not know if she could do what she was supposed to.
Sally grabbed her costume, and the two of them went up to the private lounge to meet Pedro as he cas

Sam was casually brushing his teeth as he remarked, “Well, well, look who’s up and about?”“Sam? What the hell are you doing here?” Pedro asked before he sighed in dismay.He then frowned when he saw Sam and realized that he was barely wearing anything. Then it registered to him that he, himself was that same!Goosebumps appeared on his skin as he thought of the worse.With full of horror, he asked, “You… Why… Why are you naked? Why am I you damn naked? What the hell happened last night?” Earlier, he was so out of it to realize his current situation, and now he was worried that he was on the verge of hitting something.“Whoa! Whoa! Calm down tiger, first of all, and I’m not gay,” Sam replied. He even scoffed as if the idea was something he was not able to accept at all.He then added, “Second, Alexander practically forced me to go back here in Russia when I speci

He said to Sam before leaving, “Clean up your messes and don’t bring girls in my apartment, go stay elsewhere.”“Oh, come on, let me stay here. You owe me.” Sam whined, “I told you I didn’t want to go to such a cold place, but Alexander forced me. I basically did not have a choice. I had to deal with the branch here in Russia.”“Look, I could barely care about what you and Alexander discussed, but it’s your problem.” Pedro added seriously, “I’m just glad that Alexander could not come here himself. If he found Maya, who knows how much this wedding would go to such catastrophe.”Damn it. Pedro thought to himself, Why the hell did Stephanie have to choose a guy who does not even like her? Was she that desperate?Still, Pedro left after tossing a key to Sam and said, “Here’s a room. Feel free to stay there but don’t bother me again. Deal wit
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CVII: Temporary Problem
“You met Pedro, right? He’s also your friend.” Stephanie said with a frown. She was clearly trying to be as patient as she could.Sam was amused at this, and he could not help but laugh.“Why are you laughing?” She asked through gritted teeth. Stephanie’s patience was running out as she was already glaring at Sam when she added, “My brother is also your friend.”Sam raised a brow and asked, as if he was innocent, “Yeah, so? Do you expect me to throw Alexander under the bus just because of that?”Stephanie frowned further. She explained, “If you help me get back with Alexander, our family will invest two-fold the amount that we initially did immediately. I mean, that would solve your financial problems. At this rate, everyone would try to take Alexander down.”“And who’s fault was that?” Sam questioned, still with a raised eyebrow. He snorted and said arrogantl
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CVIII: The Plan Continues
There were other problems that Sam needed to take care of. One of that was that their company’s people were all resigning thanks to the hold-off salaries.Their electronic company was badly lacking and Sam, being Alexander’s business partner, had to do something about it despite the fact that he was slightly annoyed for being treated like he was Alexander’s assistant.In fact, Sam had other family businesses he had to handle and manage personal, but he could not leave Alexander at the toughest times of his career.With that in mind, Sam quickly headed out to the branch office with his coat on and neat-looking hair. Sam looked like a good and decent guy when in fact, he was a serial dater.Well, it didn’t matter if he was a serial dater slash playboy when women that he slept with knew it from the very beginning, yet they still jump on his bed. He should not be blamed for that, right?***Meanwhile, Oli and Sally contin
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CIX: Talking To Morgana
As soon as Oli and Sally left, Oli confronted her, “Why didn’t you tell Maya everything? She deserves to know about it.”“We’re not even sure if Pedro really knows anything.” Sally glanced around making sure it was safe, and she continued in a softer voice as she dragged Oli further away from the house, “For all we know, it might be a false lead or something, given Maya’s state and desperation, she’d take it in a heartbeat. Whether it’s a false lead or whatever, Maya would risk it all.”“Of course she would. It’s her parents we’re talking about.” Oli explained, “Ever since we were kids, it’s all Maya ever wanted. She had to watch us leave the orphanage without real parents, and she never got hers. Of course, it would be natural that she’d feel desperate.”Sally said with a bitter smile, “That’s exactly it. She’s been waiting for the
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CX: Maya’s Origin?
Morgana shook her head in disagreement and continued to explain, “That’s what I thought so too. For a year, my mother would keep repeating the scenario that night- about this rich woman leaving Maya on the front porch of the orphanage. Naturally, I thought it was Maya’s mother, but it wasn’t.”Pedro frowned and asked eagerly, “Then who was it?”“It was her grandmother who brought her to the orphanage,” Morgana replied before she released a heavy sigh. She continued, “My mother described the woman as old with white hair and a wicked smile. My mother, Dani, said the old woman looked rich and not just rich. She was loaded, so my mother was baffled as to why she abandoned the baby.”“Did you get the name?” Pedro asked as he took mental notes of all the details Morgana gave him, “Any physical appearance Dani mentioned?”Morgana sighed heavily and continued, “I don&r
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXI: Drastic Effects
“That is Alexander’s personal life. Stay out of it.” Sam argued, before he shook his head. These people were so much. Probably because of this type of board member, Alexander had accepted the marriage arrangement with Stephanie.If Maya did not appear, won’t that be so disastrous for Alexander?Sam changed the topic, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter whom you point your fingers at, and it does not change the fact that we’re still stuck with the problem. How do we get out of this mess?”Everyone was quiet. To be completely honest, none of them had any idea how to solve such financial loss. It was just not Stephanie’s family.After they pulled out their investments, the company suffered from multiple stockholders that pulled out their investments, too- like a domino effect.People started losing trust in their company that left more and more employees to resign too. Alexander and Sam knew the drastic eff
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXII: Unconsciously
Pedro frowned. He was the one who told Sam about it. But, he could not tell that to his sister else she would vent on him.“What if he tells Alexander and Alexander came rushing here? I mean, if he meets Maya here, he will leave me for good,” she continued on the verge of tears.“Sister, as much as I love you, you really need to step out of dreamland. Alexander left you for good when he backed out of your wedding without goodbyes or explanations.” Pedro argued, “Wake up, it couldn’t be any clearer than that.”“Just let me help you find Maya!” Stephanie insisted.“No!” Pedro firmly replied, and he continued, “I’ll deal with finding her alone. You will not take any part of it, do you hear me?”Stephanie was startled for a moment before she said, “You don’t understand-““No, Stephanie, you don’t understand. Alexander will n
