Chapter 96: Back to Square One "It was just a kiss." I repeated what I told her and she glanced at me like she just can't believe what I said. "Are you insane? You just kissed my brother back and came back here to the Philippines without telling him?" I just took a sip on the frappé I've ordered, "He's not even my boyfriend, Sera, why would I tell him about it?" She crossed her arms. "And you're telling me that he's not your boyfriend even after that kiss." "Yes." I simply replied and she frowned. It is true that I left Singapore and returned to the Philippines. Maybe I'll just return to Singapore if Miguel called me or our agency called us for a meeting or any upcoming competition. It's also true that after the steamy hot kiss that Patry and I shared at Fern's house, I never talked to him again. I even avoided him and immediately booked a flight back here to the Philippines. Yes, we kissed. But I feel that has no meaning. We just did it because we're at that point that we just w
Chapter 97: YES OR YES "I like the pink drink." I said and lent my glass to Sera, who just poured me a drink. The sound system was so loud and the party continued. I cried earlier but I also recovered and I talked to my former teachers. They said that it's a pity that they didn't see me giving a speech back then on recognition day. I didn't even let my friends know that I wouldn't be attending either. Many students of our batch really were dumbfounded back then as well as our teachers. I also talked to the director of the university and she was so sorry as well for what happened before. They were also so thankful because the evil doings committed by that ex-senator have stopped. Olivia, Supremo, and Nucleus are nowhere to be found. Maybe Olivia just chose not to attend this event because of embarrassment that her Dad did in the university. Nucleus, on the other hand, is still in Singapore and continues to take care of his marriage to Myo. I was happy when I knew that he didn't leav
Chapter 98: Doubts "YOU REJECTED HIM ?!" My eyes widened when they all screamed. "Please calm down. We're getting all of the attention here." I told them while massaging my temple. Everyone here at Sumgyupie Restaurant literally looked at us. Finally, after ten years, we reunited again. The Pashnea Squad is complete. And the news I told them today was that I rejected Patry’s sudden proposal last week. It was so sudden that I couldn't even speak. All that I said was 'sorry' then I left their house. "I also don't know what happened to them. They're very fond of each other yet she rejected him. But I can't blame her for what my brother did. We're very sorry for what happened a long time ago and even my brother, he's been very annoying since then and he used to drive you away before Olivia came." Sera explained and patted my shoulder. I just smiled at her. Chilly sighed. "Is he really chasing you now? I mean ... he's very consistent in proving his love?" "After what happened, he stil
Chapter 99: Just love "Patry isn't talking to me for a while. Is he busy?" I still hesitated to ask that to Sera but I have gained courage. She took off her coat and looked at me. She just came home from work. It was three in the afternoon now. "It's a miracle that you suddenly asked me about him. Did something happen?" I bit my lip. "Because he doesn't come here anymore and every time I go to Mommy G's house, he's not there. Even in the restaurant that he owned, he's not there either. I'm going to talk to him about something but I can’t find him." She was stunned and thought of it... "Wait, I'll just change my clothes." I nodded and let her change her clothes first. I, on the other hand, was restless in bed and deep in thought. Since the day that I found out about the photo album, I thought of talking to him but he didn't suddenly show up. Mommy said that Patry hasn't been able to visit them lately. Maybe the rejection broke him that bad that he was mean to me until now? He's st
Chapter 100: Marry Me I’m currently frowning now because of Seraphrim’s teasing. I was in a bad mood because I was waiting for Krizza's talk show. This is the talk show that has been recorded since we went to the TV station building. It's only now that it’ll be airing on national television so I really waited and called for Sera again to watch with me. "Just calm down, Kira. You already know that the talk show will air at eleven o'clock but you still forced yourself to wait two hours before. Fix your face. If bad thoughts are just deadly, Krizza was already dead because of you." I heard her say and I just crossed my arms. "How to calm down? We didn’t even know what they'd do. What will Patry do with her? Will he cook delicious food again?" I scoffed. She laughed at my reaction. "But Patry said that it was the last talk show he will do with Krizza, right? He even told you that he will take care of his restaurant first." I pursed my lips. "But we don't know ... maybe he'll just go -
Chapter 101: Soft side "Hello ---" I was shocked when someone suddenly snatched my phone. My fiance looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Who is this?" he asked and I just glared at him. I took back my phone. "I'm sorry, a puppy suddenly passed by. Are you still there, manager?" I asked. I turned to Patry and then showed a hand signal not to bother me anymore, or else he's dead. "Yes. I am going to inform you about Myo's upcoming wedding. It's by next week. Are you going here already? Though, you don't have any practice to attend yet. I think it will all be postponed because something came up. Myo got pregnant and her wedding suddenly came up..." "And I'm engaged." I heard her gasping on the line which made me laugh. Patry caught me and he frowned at me so I returned to normal. He looked so jealous even though I was only talking to my manager. He's always begging for my attention after I said 'yes' to him to the point that I often get annoyed and become stingy with him because it
Chapter 102: Argument "Why are you reacting like that? You’ve been like that since we’re in Myo and Nucleus wedding. Why did you suddenly become like that?" I asked and he averted his eyes and didn't even speak then continued what he was doing. I just sighed at his attitude and continued to scan his documents. I already settled all of my businesses in Singapore. I terminated my contract with our agency and announced my retirement from the gaming industry. The Sunny Snakes, who have long dominated the gaming industry, have retired after winning a championship in international competition. That was our first and last competition internationally. We all chose to leave the gaming industry to focus on our personal affairs. Guan, she is waiting for her long distance boyfriend to come so they can meet. Lai will get a masters degree. Jin, as usual, focuses on her family. She and her husband are already planning to have a child. Myo, on the other hand, just married Nucleus. That wedding took
Chapter 103: Break up? "I'm not sure if our wedding will continue." They looked at me as if they couldn't believe me. Here I am again with the complete squad at a restaurant. It's Nin's treat and she herself insisted on it. She said that she made a lot of money last month so she took it as an opportunity to treat us. Or maybe that's not really the reason. "What are you saying? You're just newly engaged but you're going to break up? Do you really love each other?" Jerich asked one after another and I just sighed. My head hurts again. Plus the fact that Patry hasn’t spoken to me politely until now and he’s really stubborn! I was trying to convince him to have a serious talk about our wedding plans but he didn't want us to go back to the wedding planner that Mommy G got. It's embarrassing for Emerson because he walked out that day and didn’t come back. I can’t really understand his attitude anymore! "They have opposite interests. They can't agree on one option and my brother doesn't
