Gianna’s POV

I frowned as I walked through the hallway, noticing how unusually busy everyone was. People were rushing in and out as if the building were on fire.

“What’s going on?” I muttered to myself.

“It’s Mr. Locan’s birthday,” Ms. Gada suddenly appeared behind me, making me jump.

“Huh? It’s his birthday?” I asked, bewildered. She rolled her eyes at me.

“Why don’t you know? Isn’t that supposed to be your job? You’re his secretary, remember?” she said with heavy sarcasm. I forced a smile. Of course.

She walked off, and I resumed my steps until I crossed paths with Gael.

“You’re late! How dare you! So unprofessional!” my cousin shouted dramatically, making me jolt.

“What is your problem?” I shot back.

“Hehe, I’m just rehearsing what Sir Locan is going to say. You know… since it’s his birthday today,” he said meaningfully. I stopped in my tracks. What?

“Huh? And what does that have to do with anything?”

“You don’t get it, cousin…” He pulled me close and slung an arm over my shoulder.

    I slipped on the other heel of my sandals, making sure the pair matched. I fixed myself first before deciding to walk inside.I hurried toward the two children. The little girl was crying while her older brother tried to comfort her. They were adorable.“Hello,” I greeted. They immediately turned toward me—along with the policewoman beside them.“Are you their mother?” the officer asked.“Wow, straight to ‘mother’? I’m still young, okay? That’s kind of offensive!” I said, pretending to be annoyed.“I’m just their brother’s friend. Um… future girlfriend, to be exact,” I added confidently.“I’m sorry, but if you aren’t their guardian, we can’t allow you to take them. Please call their parents instead,” she said.I held my chest. Ouch. That hurt a little.“You’re pretty harsh. I’m not here to kidnap them. And I already called their brother, he’s on his way,” I explained. She finally nodded.I crouched down to be on eye level with the little girl.“Your brother’s coming. So don’t worry, o

    GAEL’S POVI had just gotten home from work and decided to stop by Manong Kaloy’s bakery for a quick snack. Their pandesal was too good to pass up, so I found myself in line, waiting to buy some.Should I invite Gianna to eat here? Lately, it felt like we hardly went out together anymore. Life had been so busy; we rarely even left work at the same time. Sometimes she had to stay behind, and I’d leave without her.But what really puzzled me was why Sir Locan had personally picked her up in his car during the company anniversary. I thought he was just dropping her home, but according to people at her apartment, she hadn’t gone back. Where did they go?I could feel it—she was hiding something from me.I was lost in thought when a small tap on my shoulder brought me back to reality. I looked down to see a little girl tapping me. I raised an eyebrow in recognition. Where had I seen her before?“Can you move aside?” she said, in perfect English. Wow, her parents must be rich.“Are you deaf?

    One week later…“Coffee?”I set the cup I’d prepared down in front of him. He gave me a small smile before taking a sip. I just stood there, smiling like an idiot while watching him drink.“Stop it, babe.”His sudden comment snapped me back to reality. I straightened up quickly.“H–huh?” Why was my voice suddenly shaking?He smirked, placed the cup on the table, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and looked at me—still smiling.“Why? You don’t like it? Babe?” he repeated.“S–stop that!” I hissed—not because I was angry, but because I wasn’t used to him calling me that. And I could feel my cheeks heating up.He laughed, which only irritated me more. Then I practically jumped when he suddenly pulled me onto his lap. I tried to get up, but he wrapped his arms around me, trapping me there.“Babe…” he whispered.My face burned, so I smacked his arm. “Stop it!” I warned, but he just laughed harder. Damn this man. Can’t he see I’m already blushing?“What? You don’t want me calling y

    It was almost morning, and the party was finally winding down. I was about to step out of the entrance, planning to look for a ride home—if any was passing by.I followed with my eyes a black car approaching my spot. It stopped right in front of me, and the door swung open. A hand extended toward me, offering a ride. I smiled and accepted. The car started moving shortly after.Sleep was already tugging at me, so I closed my eyes. I felt his warm hand brush against mine.“Would you mind crashing at my place?” he asked.I just nodded. The combination of sleepiness and a little alcohol I’d had made my eyelids heavy, and I soon drifted off.Minutes later, I woke up, sensing the door opening, but I had no strength to open my eyes. I felt him get down from the car, followed by the sound of another door opening nearby.“Wake up, sleeping beauty,” his calm voice commanded, but I didn’t move. I felt his arms lift me, and when I finally opened my eyes, we were already on the stairs. I glanced a

    The celebration continued well into the night.I ate quietly at the table with Francis and a few others, taking in the atmosphere around me. The mood was light—until suddenly, a man appeared. He was older, with an aura that demanded attention. The energy he radiated was almost overwhelming.“My nieces and nephews… it’s been a long time, eh?” he greeted.Everyone froze mid-bite, and I could see the spark of enthusiasm vanish from their faces. Sir Asher was the first to stand, extending his hand.“It’s good to see you, Tito Jim. Welcome back,” Sir Asher greeted warmly.Ah, so this must be the Mr. Jim everyone had been talking about. He was nothing like I had imagined—no bald head, no mafia-like seriousness, and definitely not a foreign accent. The man in front of me had hair with streaks of gray, carried a cane, and wore a constant, welcoming smile.I couldn’t understand why everyone seemed so intimidated by him.“Thank you. Oh! My Francis, my favorite!”He extended a hand to Francis, w
