Bruno cursed and quickly grabbed his laptop, then navigated to the company's website.

His fingers clicked on the keyboard as he searched for Beauty's profile.

After a few clicks, he found himself staring at her profile picture, her bright smile, chubby cheeks and sparkling eyes captivating him once again.

A little smile drew on his lips.

He snapped out of it and scrolled down, his eyes carefully scanning the whole page until he found what he was looking for — her home address.

“Got it”.

He said in satisfaction and quickly copied the address into the food delivery app.

He wanted to place the order but hesitated.

Why is he so determined to send this to her?

Could it be?

"No, no, no,"He chided himself, shaking his head.

“You're just being kind. To help an insecure employee boost her confidence, that's all.

Also, she must not know it was from me. I need to make it anonymous.”

He tapped on the order button and closed his eyes.

“Well, I did that …as a good boss.”

However, the voice in his

    Jessie shrugged.“Maybe it's a delivery? You ordered something online recently, didn't you?”Beauty thought for a moment before shaking her head, “No, I don't think so. Could be my parents…but they said they will be back in two days”.“Just go check it out, I don't need a distraction, I am focused on this book."Jessie instructed.Beauty rolled her eyes and walked to the front door.She opened the door slowly.Her eyes widened, and she saw a delivery man and woman standing on her porch.The delivery woman was holding a giant bouquet of roses and a special gift box with red ribbon, a bright male on her face.The male was holding bags of food from a famous online eatery. Well, what do we have here?Wrong address, I guess.Beauty said to herself.She had never received a gift like this before.“Oh, wow! This must be some kind of mistake.”“Delivery for Ms… Beauty?” the man announced.Beauty's confusion was even more confused when they mentioned her name, her mind completely went blank.

    Beauty arrived at the company earlier than usual, hoping that she wouldn't run into Bruno not after what happened that night!Her heart was pounding like crazy with a mix of anxiety and nervousness. It’s like everyone already knew about her failed date and pasts. Not like Bruno is the type that engages yet she can’t seem to get over it.She was dressed in a simple navy blue A-line dress, twice her size.Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and she wore a little makeup, hoping that Bruno might notice.“Yeah right Beauty, you wished not to face him yet applied makeup hoping to attract his attention?”She thought to herself.Nevertheless, the thought of his co-workers finding out about the surprise gift and joke about it made her skin prickle with unease.She quickly made her way to her desk, keeping her head down to avoid any unwanted glances.She sighed and settled down on her desk, the same moment the entrance door opened again, her breath was immediately caught in her throat.

    The cafeteria, that was usually filled with lively chatter, seemed to fall into a stunned silence as everyone noticed Bruno’s unexpected move. Bruno always sits alone, and he never likes sharing his personal space with anyone, especially during meal time.Beauty noticed the dread silence, and also she could feel curious eyes on them, even without looking up.She tried to steady her breathing, praying she wouldn’t embarrass herself in front of Bruno.After a few minutes, she slowly glanced up at Bruno, who was eating his food carelessly as if this were the most natural thing in the world.But for the rest of them in the cafeteria, it wasn’t. Whispers quickly spread among the workers and models, with everyone speculating what could be going on between the two. Kathy, the stunning face of the company and the one many considered to be Bruno’s ideal match, noticed the growing buzz. Her co-workers who looked up to her as their role model surrounded her exclusive table and whispered to h

    Kathy noticed Bruno still sitting at that table, it was an opportunity for her to show off.She stood up with her usual air of confidence.“Are you going back for the photoshoot section, Kathy?”Asked one of the models, fangirling over Kathy.“Not after I get the CEO’s attention, watch and learn girls…no man can resist me, not even our cold-blooded young boss, Bruno”.She smirked and started walking towards Bruno.The other models watched her with keen interest, anticipating to be amazed by Kathy's impressive seductress skills.They quietly debated among themselves on whether Kathy could actually get Bruno to ask her out or not.Kathy was dressed to kill, as always. Today she wore a sleek, form-fitting red dress that accentuated every curve of her hourglass figure, hugged her hips perfectly and her small waistline.The neckline of the red dress was very low, just enough to reveal a massive pair of attractive cleavage that bounced with each step she took.The dress had a long slit tha

    Beauty swallowed hard, trying to brace herself as Kathy reached her desk. "You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?" Kathy spat, her voice dripping with disdain.“Excuse me?”She replied, nervously.This is definitely about the chocolate bar!Beauty said in her head."You just had to sit there with him, ruining his mood. Bruno loves being alone during lunch, but no, you had to go and irritate him with your……... presence."She scoffed in disgust.Beauty was stunned at first then arched her brows.“Sir Bruno never complained,so why are……”Kathy cut her off before she could finish her question."Do you really think someone like you belongs at the same table as Bruno? I mean, look at you!" Kathy sneered, her eyes raking over Beauty’s figure with contempt."You’re nothing but an eyesore, sitting there with your fat and ugliness. You should’ve just left him alone instead of forcing him to endure your pathetic company.”Beauty felt a lump form in her throat, her eyes stinging with tear

    “I want to talk about what you did to Beauty today.”Kathy rolled her eyes, already dismissing the conversation. “If you’re here to defend your whale friend, you’re wasting your time”.She smirked. “Oh, please shut up, you insecure bully”.Jessie snapped.The word hung in the air, sharp, and cutting.Kathy’s smirk faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered, keeping her expression neutral.“Ugly? Bully? Don't make me laugh…. I’m just telling it like it is honey. Someone has to put people like her in their place.”She smiled.Jessie’s hands clenched into fists, she so much wanted to punch that bitch on the face, but she kept her composure.“No, Kathy. You’re not telling it like it is; Beauty is, in fact, very beautiful ,more beautiful than you with your makeup and all the surgery and personalized daily beauty monitor and treatments, you paid heavily to look like shit and Beauty naturally has it all that's why you feel intimidated and bully her”.“Excuse me what?

    The entire day had been a nightmare for Beauty and the tears she had tried to hold back in the office flowed freely as soon as she stepped into the back seat of the taxi. She cried silently, her body trembling as Kathy’s mockery words and the laughter of her coworkers replayed in her mind.The taxi driver noticed her distress but wisely kept quiet, focusing on the road as Beauty quietly sobbed, wiping her eyes with the sleeves of her blouse. Beauty couldn’t understand why Kathy hated her so much or why everyone else seemed to enjoy her humiliation.Is it a crime to be a plus size?How is her weight offensive to them?She had always been nice to everyone around her.What did she do to deserve such treatment since kindergarten?By the time the taxi pulled up to her place, Beauty’s eyes were swollen, and her face was streaked with tears.She paid the driver, murmuring a thank you as she stepped out of the car, clutching her bag tightly to her chest.

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door.To her surprise, the same delivery people from the other day stood on her doorstep, smiling warmly at her.This time, they were holding an even bigger package, a large box of chocolate cake adorned with chocolate snacks like Hershey's, Reese's, and M&M's.Another bouquet of roses accompanied the box, even more beautiful and looks more expensive than the firstBeauty’s eyes widened in shock.

    "How did this even happen?" Jessie asked curiously."It's a long story, Jess," Beauty replied, shivering-not so much from the cold but from the aftershock of what had just happened."You're still shaking," Jessie commented."I'm okay, Jess," Beauty murmured, her voice thick with emotion. "Thanks to Bruno... I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't been there.""I'm glad. He followed you without a second thought."Beauty pressed her lips together"The way he shouted my name, his voice... it was the reason I kept pushing to survive, even when I was sinking into the water. I've never been so scared in my life," she sobbed.Jessie hugged her again. "It's okay, honey. It's okay," she whispered.Just then, Ferdinand's voice interrupted them. "You two want to go back swimming? It's time to leave the woods!""This is probably a sign to leave the woods you know," someone on the team whispered.Jessie pulled back and used her palms to dry her friend's tears.

    Her voice was a whisper, her gaze downcast, her cheeks flushed but still wet with tears. She suddenly shifted, her foot slipping as she tried to balance herself, pressing her knee against his crotch, directly into arousal he'd been fighting to hide."It's... hard... rock," she murmured to herself, her cheeks flushing as realization dawned on her.Bruno froze, knowing she'd found him out, feeling the blush of embarrassment creep up his neck.How could he get an erection at a time like this? What a creep he is!Awkwardly, he stepped back, gently letting her go, his hands falling to his sides.Beauty stood there at the shore, her body soaked, watching him leave.Just then, Jessie and the others appeared, rushing toward them.Mrs. Lola Cruz covered her mouth emotionally, seeing they were both safe."Lo siento, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to look for Bobby.""Please don't apologize. It's not your fault," Bruno replied calmly.One of the staff threw him a towel.Jessie

    "Hold on, I'm coming for you!" Bruno yelled out.The river's current was strong, making it difficult even for him, but his strokes were powerful, so he pushed through, his eyes never leaving her.He could feel his heart pounding harder and harder with fear. He had never felt so much fear, never had someone so dear to him that he panicked at the thought of losing them-let alone watching them die right in front of him.Beauty started coughing and sank into the river."Beauty!" Bruno yelled so loudly that his veins created a visible network across his forehead and neck, his eyes red with shock and despair.The river's flow had dragged Beauty under, only for her to resurface, coughing and choking, her eyes red from the struggle. Her breaths came in frantic gasps, her arms flailing.She burst into tears.Bruno, who had frozen after she went under, snapped out of it and pushed himself to swim faster this time.His heart skipped a beat when he saw her disappear beneath the surface again, w

    A collective sigh of relief swept through the group. Beauty felt a strange mix of embarrassment and awkwardness. She wanted to laugh but had to hold it in.They had all been so caught up in the drama, so ready to offer help, only to find out it was just... a chicken?"Oh, sorry," they all murmured in unison, their faces flushing with embarrassment.Jessie was fighting every urge not to laugh at the poor lady. In fact, she had to avoid eye contact with Beauty, because that would definitely cause her laughter to explode."We'll help you find your baby, Mrs. Lola," Bruno said gently, reassuring her."Muchas gracias."Beauty stared at Bruno as he consoled the elderly woman, hoping they could make eye contact, longing to be consoled by him too. But he was very serious about keeping his distance this time... forever.Kathy wasn't happy with the idea of looking for a chicken. She had been glad to finish her shoots so they could leave this dreadful place, only to be asked to find a missing ch

    However before any of them could actually say anything, Mrs. Lola approached them.Beauty nervously wondered what could be her reason for coming to speak with her."Ms. Beauty, I am impressed by your designs, really. I would love to work with you again... after this tour. What do you say?""Thank you so much," Beauty managed, feeling a mix of pride and nerves. "I appreciate the offer and will do my best.""I'm sure you will," Lola said with a smile, then she nodded at Jessie inform of acknowledgement, Jessie smiled back awkwardly.As the two watched her walk away, Beauty drew a deep breath."She does like you... a lot of pressure, huh?" Jessie whispered, starting a conversation.Beauty's breath caught in her throat as she looked at her friend and nodded slowly.Jessie chuckled and gave her a thumbs-up."Good job. Looks like you've got a fan in Mrs. Cruz. You shouldn't be distracted at this time, okay? We all make mistakes...you have to be strong and focused more this time. Don't let t

    Mrs. Lola Cruz stepped forward with a broad smile."First, I want to thank the F&F team for this collaboration. I am yet to see Mr. Bruno, but I am sure he has something important that may be the reason he can't be here with us. About this collection. It is meant to embrace our culture with a combination of nature. I must confess, Mr. Ferdinard, your company has some real talent; I can testify to that. It was nice working with them.. especially Beauty Hills.I can't believe we were able to round up the designs within hours after she joined us... please give her an applause, please."She said and gestured at Beauty.The models and stylists, the whole crew, clapped loudly, cheering for Beauty.Well,Kathy was an exception,other designers had a tough t"Thank you... for the opportunity, Mrs. Lola."

    Jessi frowned at his stubbornness. She didn't blame him, but the fact that he was in denial seemed childish to her.He still loves her, he can't even look her in the eyes and say those words!He longs for Beauty..he just need to push a little bit. He must be feeling like a fool but just another chance."I know you're frustrated, Bruno. But she's been through so much. Her past... it's made her afraid to trust anyone, even herself. Can't you give her one more chance? She's terrified you're going to leave, just like everyone else. And here you are, making it come to pass. Don't pretend this doesn't matter to you. You can't just shut your feelings for her off like that; you know you love her."Bruno shook his head, an exasperated chuckle escaping his lips."You don't get it, Jessi," he muttered. "Beauty's... she's too complicated. She's hurt me in ways I didn't even know were possible. Do my feelings not matter because I am a man?"Jessi crossed her arms as she took another step toward hi

    Jessi stood just outside the door, hesitating. She had already knocked twice; no reply from Bruno. She wasn't sure if he even wanted to see her. Not after what happened last night. She knew it would be tough for him this time.However, Beauty's sadness had broken her heart. She knew she had to do something-anything-to bring them back together.She told Beauty she can take care of him.Ofcourse,she would have given it a chance, but not when she knew for sure that Beauty loved Bruno, and he also loved her. They had to make it work; they should!Arching her brow at the thought, she summoned a deep breath and gave one more quick knock.Without waiting for an answer anymore, she turned the knob and stepped into the room.Bruno was standing by the window, his gaze out over the garden. He didn't turn when she entered or even act like he noticed her presence.Jessi sighed."Bruno," she called softly, as she closed the door behind her. He didn't answer, and she didn't expect him to."I know y

    The next morning, Beauty was the first to wake, her heart heavy as she sat up on her bed, staring at Bruno. He was still asleep, his chest rising and falling with the rhythm of his breath.Everything that happened last night kept flooding into her head.From the truth-and-dare game, the harassment from Ferdinard, to Bruno's drunk act and cuddling her to sleep.She wasn't sure how he would have reacted, so she had to wake up with him close to her, but she had to pull away. Her gaze went back to Bruno.She didn't know what to expect from him or the next step she should take. Jessie isn't here to give her a piece of advice. Her words last night were clear; she had to choose.As if on cue, the duvet she had carefully draped over Bruno's body after sneaking out of his arms the night before shifted and fell off, leaving him exposed.Beauty's breath hitched, her hands trembling slightly as she stood up and moved toward his bed to cover him again.She reached for the blanket, but before she
