LXXXII: Irritation
Maintaining his height, he walked calmly through the aisles of the pharmacy while he looked in all directions. He knew perfectly well what things he should buy, but it was not something you could just walk in and take. It was something that needed a certain degree of meditation.
He started picking up random items to cover what he would buy and calmly made his way to the sanitary napkin section. His jaw dropped instantly at the huge and absurd array of towels in front of him. How is he supposed to know which should buy? How is someone supposed to know what to buy in a sea of options of that magnitude?
He walked in short-range from one side to the other, trying to find a logic to what he saw when he listened behind him.
“Need help?”
The words made his heart stop for a second, and turning to look at the girl with a huge smile on her face. And he shook his head. She looked at him with grace and interest. Clearly, she could feel attractive, but the situa

Pedro was still looking at her in anger. Who knows where Maya got her courage at that time to really piss him off.Maya was sure that he could not just do anything to her in public, right?With that in mind, Maya looked at him innocently. “You don’t like to go with me there?” She asked curiously as if her request was nothing big, especially for someone who was clearly a straight male.Pedro smiled evilly, and he was looking at Maya with cold eyes when he asked, “Maya, tell me. No, give me a proper logical explanation. Why you wanted me to go there with you?”Maya was about to speak when he raised his hand to stop her.“Wait, scratch that. Tell me why you wanted to go there. Huh?” He asked, his tone casual, but Maya was pretty sure he was on the verge of choking her to death with the way he was gritting his teeth as if he was ready to explode.And in fact, Maya was right. Pedro was on the verge of eru
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXXIV: Drunk Maya
After a while, Maya thought of a plan, she hastily searched the internet and saw a bar with excellent reviews. Maya got all excited and announced accidentally a little louder than she intended, “Pedro! I found one!”A lot of people looked at her with confusion written all over their faces. Maya chuckled softly and mouthed to Pedro, “Sorry.”Pedro cleared his throat and coldly walked beside her, their shoulders barely touching. Pedro was quite private, and he kept his distance all through the night. Maya thought it would be hard to get closer to him and make a living with him bearable.She hoped he would not lock her up again, so she had to figure out Pedro’s weak spots.Pedro looked at her, Maya’s doe eyes were staring at his for quite a while, and her cheeks flushed a little as she looked away. Maya said, “I found a bar. Can we go?”“Hmmm, let me see.” Pedro checked the place thoroughly a

But to his surprise, Maya started crying as she hugged the vodka bottle. She was crying like a child that Pedro was not sure how to deal with.Not to mention the fact that they were not the only people in the bar. Pedro felt his face heated up from embarrassment.Pedro tried to grab the vodka bottle from Maya, but she was hugging it so tightly. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Maya, give me that damn bottle. So we can leave now….” As he spoke, he tried to snatch it back on more time.“No! Robber!” Maya protested while glaring at him. She continued to hug the bottle as if her life depended on it.Robber? Pedro’s face turned black. He was on the verge of hitting Maya. Discretely, he looked around and checked if someone else heard her and was probably now looking at him like he was a criminal.Fuck! Pedro internally cursed as he realized that everyone else was staring at them.“Maya,

Maya’s face beamed like sunshine, and she immediately walked towards the stage. Some men were whistling as she passed by- it annoyed Pedro.He reasoned out with himself that he was just being annoyed at how irresponsible Maya was. Aside from that, it was just one time. He promised to not let her drink again later.Pedro tried to look the other way and let Maya be, but in the end, Pedro went after Maya as she went on stage to dance with the flamingo dancers.Pedro announced after he cleared his throat, “If you turn around from the stage and not watch the lady I came here with, I’d pay for everything you ordered and will order.”As they heard that, they immediately turned their seats around and continued on with drinking. Pedro smirked, feeling satisfied as he said, “Excellent, put their tabs on mine. I’ll pay for everything tonight.”There was drunken cheering from everyone at the bar, but Pedro’s gaze

“I mean, I saw you two the whole night, he seemed… I don’t know. If I don’t you, I would say you two looked good together as a couple.” Sally teased, “Opposites do attract after all.”“And may I remind you that he’s the brother of the woman who’d be marrying Alexander.” Maya replied, with a forced smile on her face. She released a sigh before continuing, “He was going to keep me here just to make sure I won’t bother with the wedding and all. How annoying that no matter where I go, I always seem to go back to the one thing I’m trying so hard to forget.”Oli and Sally looked at each other.

The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXXIX: Sally’s Problem
“Yeah, we do,” Sally replied before she sighed heavily again. There was a helplessness in her expression that was hard to understand.When Maya noticed this, she could not help but asked, “That’s like the hundredth time you sighed tonight, is anything on your mind, Sally?”In Maya’s eyes, her friend already has everything. Yes, nothing was perfect, but at least she had a better life, right? Like money and all. Not to mention a family that she could call her own, even when they were not on completely okay terms.So what could make Sally feel… Worried about? Love perhaps?If that was the case, that would be really interesting.Before Maya could be asked once more, Sally shook her head. She looked hesitant and started glancing back and forth at Maya.Finally, she took a gulp on her liquor and confessed as her soft voice trembled, “The reason I’m here- the real reason wasn’t s

Maya stood up and said, “I’ll make us breakfast, and I’ll grab some medicine on the way. Do you want anything?”“I could kiss you right now, but I can barely sit down,” Oli remarked while looking at her brightly. Then she added, “You’re an angel, Maya. Not to mention you are a chef too, so whatever you make must be amazing. But, thank you. A soup would be best.”“Soup and medicines were coming right up.” Maya chuckled as she went on her way; she had some spare changes in his pocket and headed to the nearest drugstore.She grabbed some hangover medicines and ingredients for the soup.On her way back, her gaze unknowingly searched for Pedro among the crowd.Was it out of curiosity, worry, or something else entirely? Maya thought to herself. But before she knew it, she was starting to miss him.Maya once again shook her head and came back to her senses, and there&rsq
