In the next day, the sun was beaming brightly as rays of sunlight bathed the trees and everything it touches with its warmth. The said rays beamed through the silky chiffon curtains and basked a certain woman in warm sunlight, causing the said woman to stir awake from her peaceful slumber. The woman released a mouthful yawn before stretching her sore limbs, satisfying pops and cracks were heard as her stiff and sore limbs were aroused back to their usual motor movement.
Crystal arose before slipping her toes onto the fuzzy slippers that were provided, the floor was cold. She headed over to grab a towel and take a shower. Surprisingly, her made did not come or anything at all, as if the maid was either frightened or did, she chose not to come in anymore?

“Go on, write any number you want, just leave my brother alone, he doesn’t deserve this kind of betrayal.” Angelica continued, her gaze hardening to show how serious she was for this matter. Crystal fell silent, still unsure on how she should answer. On one hand, she could care less on how much she might write on that cheque, since the Rosette’ family has nothing to do with her at all. On the other, she wouldn’t dare take money from means that she isn’t supposed to, especially when she has a special reason to be here, her mission, she can’t quit. Her brother’s justice depends on it. 
It didn’t take a while, only around fifteen minutes when Crystal finally finished a sample draft she was making. While she drew, Angelica was watching with deep concentration greatly engraved onto her face. Her eyes calculated every single stroke that Crystal made, and it was surreal, it wasn’t just some random strokes with a pencil lead that any normal people could do but this one was filled with class and elegance. As if the strokes of a pure artist, she eagerly watched to see the outcome of the said draft as she basically leaned over the table to observe the woman’s ministrations. “And… Done!” Crystal smiled in glee before placing the pencil down and presenting her work to Angelica whom was eagerly
Time passed as Crystal continued with her elegant strokes, shading to add volume to the texture in a visual manner, her eraser now has marks and molds of pencil lead. She smiled and wiped the sweat off of her forehead, finally looking over at her creation with self-commendation. “Finally…” she breathed out in content. But as she placed her pencil down on the grass, she felt an odd feeling. As if someone was following—no, not just following, someone was staring at her from behind. But as she turned around, no one was there but random employees either having a break or discussing things with various clients. Since the main company majorly focuses on real estate development such as developing lands into subdivisions and glorious houses and establishments.
“Such balance and contrast, a very nice design indeed, Ms. Buenaventura, as expected of the Buenaventura family.” Harold Valencia praised, smiling in satisfaction. Janice smiled upon hearing compliments of her ‘work’ as she took a bow in respect along with muttering a small ‘thank you’ to those who commends her. But to Crystal, she was boiling angry. Not only did the pesky woman stole her design, she even dares accept commendations and compliments over something she did not work hard for. The feeling of having her intellectual property stolen, her heart beating rapidly against her chest as the vile taste of disgust made her throat dry and sour. Her work created for someone sp
Angelica raised a brow though, in curiosity. “I’ve been meaning to ask, why did you name your creation, ‘Longing Happiness’?” she asked, which was another question that most of them agreed to ask since the design, the flowers, the purpose. Out of so many names why longing happiness? Crystal could only utter a small smile, lowering her eyelids half-open as she gazed off in her own thoughts. “The design was supposedly to give off a warm atmosphere. An atmosphere that makes the guests feel like they are longing for something. They are longing for something that they’ll stay there because the scenery will remind them of something that they had been longing for. May it be dreams or someone important, it gives them the sense of appreciation. They will then learn to appreciate w
After an hour’s worth of chatting, the three of them dispersed into their own rooms to rest. The day has been hectic and very long, resting is the very best option they have. As Crystal walked back to her room, the place was quiet and peaceful, her maid must’ve left after doing some housekeeping, not to bother Crystal any longer. Crystal sighed and grabbed a towel, preparing herself for a well-deserved bath wherein the tub was already filled and scented oils were waiting for her. She slowly stripped herself free from the restraining clothes, feeling the dirt and grime on her body just badly needs to be removed from sitting on the grass. After so, she lowered herself

That morning, it was noticeably quiet and peaceful. For the first time since she’s been here, this is the only time that she felt comfortable in letting her guard down after so long. They weren’t subjected to any tasks and Crystal’s design was already chosen for the project due to some… problems with Lylia’s and Mylene’s designs. Crystal knew that the two girls did it on purpose, but she’s not in any position to judge nor question. It’s their decision after all. She shook her head and decided to wander around the villa, not needing to sneak around anymore since she was given permission to go anywhere as she’d like as long as she’s not le
