CXLV: Really unmatched?
Oli has been, but she was afraid that Ryan was just messing around.
Both of them had it engraved in their minds that they were the impossible match. But why would she thing that?
It was simply because they were friends for the longest time and harboring feelings for one another and being in a relationship would make or break everything for them, it was impossible to love without such great risks.
It was scary dangerous even for someone spontaneous and daredevil like Oli or for someone as calm and collected as Ryan.
So, they could not really acknowledge each other’s feelings.
Oli stayed out for a little while longer. She hugged Ryan until his musky scent and aftershave lingered in Oli’s nose, and the corner of her lips twitched into a smile.
She then muttered softly, “Thank you for always being there for me, Ryan.”
“Always.” Ryan replied with as wide smile.
Maya was just around the co

So with that, Maya decided to fix her room and little and then, she headed out to begin her search for her parents.Doing so gave her a conflicting feeling. How many years had it been, when she decided to give up on her search? Yet, here she was, leaving the people who cared about her, despite not having any trails or led to follow. It might not be a good idea. It was so risky as it might be, but she knew she had to follow Pedro.It was hard to accept it, but Pedro might be the only person who knows. There was a part of her that still wanted to believe that he might be just fooling her, but what else could Maya do?He was basically her only hope. It if she put it that way, would that not a blessing in disguise since Pedro was the reason she was in Russia in the first place?In Russia, she met Oli and Sally again, then there was the possibility to see her parent too because of him.With that in mind, Maya headed to a café near Pedro’s a
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXLVI: Bargain
Maya unconsciously found herself staring at Pedro from behind.She thought to herself, maybe if things were a little different… just maybe.Just as soon as the idea appeared, Maya immediately denied it. She snapped out of it immediately and continued to observe Pedro for a couple of minutes, hoping she’d get something out of him. But then it hit her; Stephanie… also knew what Pedro knew about her parents, so her best bet was to strike a bargain with Stephanie.Maya felt compromised with Pedro, and she felt as if the longer she knew him, she would end up liking him. On the other hand, with Stephanie- her enemy to the core, Maya would always be alert and suspicious to trust her.Most of all, Stephanie wanted to make sure Maya stayed as far away as possible from Alexander, and that was something Maya would certainly agree to in a heartbeat. She had no interest in their issues, and she wanted to stay as far away as possible
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXLVIII: Mrs. Simons Once More
Then Maya continued further, “Thank god. You’ve been saving my ass twice in a row now. I’m really grateful for you, Mrs. Simons.”“Don’t mention it.” Mrs. Simons said“You were talking to him earlier. Did you already expose me?”Mrs. Simons chuckled, “Pedro and Stephanie are one of the powerhouses, so I know them, but to answer you, no, I didn’t even know what to say about you. Anyways, how about you? How do you happen to know those kids and get into their mess?”“It’s really… a long and complicated story.”“Tell me about it.” Mrs. Simons kindly reached out her hand and said to Maya, “You look like you could use a friend too.”Maya was hesitant, but she took a deep breath and explained everything to the old lady. Maya told her how she was stuck in France because of Alexander and Stephanie. She told her troubles and doubts,

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
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CL: Not Perfect
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
