CXLIX: Wolf in a sheep's skin
The driver was completely bewildered. He could not help but ask, “Pardon, Madam. But, why is that?”
“With my prolonged stay here, I can get Maya to work for the mansion and annoy my brother more,” Mrs. Simons explained with a thoughtful expression. She was smiling as she continued, “That Pedro is still getting on my nerves, he keeps acting like he knows something, and Maya annoyingly reminds me of Allison―the old Duke’s only daughter. It makes my blood boil.”
The driver remained silent.
“However, I need to play it right.” She continued, “I’ll continue pretending to be her friend. I’ll meet Pedro tomorrow and ask him to tell me about Maya’s birth parents.”
“Why go to such lengths?” The driver whispered. His voice was barely audible, but Mrs. Simons was able to hear it.
She chuckled and then answered, “If I know who Maya’s parents are, she&rsqu

Oli glared at him. Her face was noticeably bright red. She was not sure what was going. Her confusion was evident as she suddenly pushed Ryan away.She was speechless for a few more seconds before she stuttered, “Hey! Get away from me! I wasn’t thinking about kissing you―”Oli covered her mouth and quickly walked away from embarrassment. She was also grateful that she managed to stop herself from speaking further.Ah, what was I thinking? I must have been completely out of my mind! Oli thought to herself as she hid her blushing face.Ryan scoffed as he saw Oli react in such a way, and he remarked under his breath, “How cute.”If Oli was able to hear what he said, Oli’s face might be redder than a ripe tomato.As she left, Oli held her cheeks as she tried to calm her racing heart down. She went to the female bathroom as it was the only place she knew Ryan wouldn’t be able to go to.She

Oli smiled sweetly and replied, “And I love you too.”“So is that a yes? Are we dating?”Oli nodded, “I think I’m going to suck at this whole relationship thing, but I…I’ll take the risk if it’s with you.”“That’s all that I really wanted.” Ryan pulled Oli in for a hug.Sally, on the other hand, headed first back to Oli’s mansion. She has been sighing a lot and was heard by the head helper there and asked, “You seem to be thinking a lot. Do you need an ear?”“No. I’m good.” Sally politely replied.The head helper saw through her tough façade and sat down beside her, and she said, “Well, I need a break, so I’ll stay with you for a while longer. So, what’s on your mind, Lady Sally.”“Just Sally is fine.” Sally took a deep breath and continued, “Well, mostly I’m really w
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLII: Dangerous Family
Sam tried to act cool and brush off the fact that he knew that Oli and Sally knew Maya and the fact that until a day ago, she was living at Oli’s mansion, which Sam recklessly sneaked in to meet Sally that day.It was one of the things that he was really proud of doing. Sam looked at Pedro with a smile and casually replied, “And? Are you still looking for her? I mean, you made it impossible for her to leave Russia anyway.”“I’ll find her.” Pedro replied, “And this time, I’ll admit my feelings and take her as far away from this mess as possible.”Sam scoffed. With a mocking tone he responded, “You know how crazy Stephanie is. You know she won’t let that happen. Besides, why are you even telling me this? I have to leave and fix the mess at the branch―”“Because I know you know where she is- or at least, where she was.”“And what of it? Are you forcing me to tell
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLIII: Just a Girl?
“I know, but that won’t happen again.” Alexander was quite skeptical. He asked before ending the call, “Besides, why are you getting so worked up? I mean, I guessed you’d want me to get there as soon as possible so you could leave that cold country you so despised?”“I uh…” Sam stuttered, “I’m starting to like the cold, I suppose.” It was a lie and he knew it but there was no way he would admit it.“The cold or the girls?” Alexander once more with a knowing tone.Sam chucked as he glanced at Sally from outside and thought to himself, just a girl. Some girl. But he dared not to say anything, especially to Alexander. Sam could already guess how much Alexander would tease him if he did say such a corny thing.Years of womanizing, and yet there he was, secretly in love with the most headstrong and stubborn woman he ever met, Sally.In love? That was st
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLIV: Can Somewhat Relate
“Alexander’s still clueless that Maya is here,” Sam answered in a calm tone. He released a helpless sigh before he continued, “He can’t know. Alexander’s simply going here to Russia to visit the branch here and take over some major decisions happening.”Sam was really getting upset about this entire situation. He was hiding something from his best friend because he thought it was the right thing to do. A part of him was sure that if Alexander knew, he would have gotten into the earliest flight to Russia.Yes, it was so weird to think that a block of wood in the name of Alexander was going to do. If Sam thought of such a thing years ago, he would not believe and would curse the person who would tell that to him.But wasn’t the proof already the person he was talking to?The Mayers was the best family for businessmen, especially those who wanted to go to the top very soon. That was because whoever their spoile
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLV: Her Parents
Maya was frozen. A part of her was still unable to accept what Stephanie had said.She was still in denial of what she had just heard. Maya remained quiet as she sat still across Stephanie.“Maya, listen to me, your parents might be dead, but surely, you have family remaining. Don’t you want to find them? The old woman who gave you up at the front porch of the orphanage- all clips that could lead me to who she might be were all gone and deleted. I believe that whoever that woman was is still alive up to this day since security regarding it and all information were classified. I couldn’t get my hands on it even I tried. And I tried.” Stephanie continued to explain while looking at Maya as if she took pity on her.Pity? Maya wanted to laugh. She felt like she was a fool for even talking to Stephanie.Maya scoffed and asked with unmasked disdain, “What do you want to do? I just spent the rest of my life searching for my
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLVI: Rich?
Maya frowned further. Her displease was increasing further as she listened to Stephanie. A part of her wanted to stop this nonsense but, she fought hard. She knew that she needed to know more.“That’s how easy it is to disown a daughter or a son. That’s just how it goes but in the end… they’re still your family. You have nothing and no one else without them,” Stephanie continued as she was feeling bad for Maya.“I have my friends,” Maya pointed out through gritted teeth.“Lucky for you then,” Stephanie replied as she nodded in understanding.She then cleared her throat and changed the topic, and she said, “Well, I gave you all the information I have about your parents, whether you look for your grandparents or not is none of the business, but you have to uphold the end of your bargain, you will leave Russia and settle at some faraway place never to be seen by Alexander and Pedro.&rdq
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CLVII: To Give up or Not to Give up
Sam glanced behind her and said, “I brought some alcohol, but it seems like you beat me to it.”Stephanie frowned and immediately tried to hide it from Sam.Sam smirked and suddenly grabbed the bottle himself. He looked at her smugly before he poured a glass for him.“You don’t need to hide it. If Pedro finds it, just blame it on me,” he said with assurance.Sam did not like Stephanie cause of her recent actions with Alexander and Maya, but it did not mean he would be hostile to her all the time.“Why are you here?” Stephanie questioned while eying him with suspicion. “And who told you to get my drink?“I figured you’d be drinking home alone again,” Sam snickered. He then added, “Isn’t it better to have some a company? I thought you could use some.”Well, more likely, he was there to make sure she would not be doing more stupid things that they won&rsq
