“I want to try rock climbing first. That would be a good warm up.”Kaizer could only tag along and let her decide. Luckily he wore casual clothes after hearing her say ‘fun activities’.They first went rock climbing. Kaizer was shocked that she’s good at that activity. She keeps up with his speed and even has a great technique.“Wow, I really enjoyed it.”“I can really see it in your face.”Lauren looks away for a moment and when she looks back at Kaizer her eyes are sparkling.“I know what we will do next.”“What?”Lauren pointed at the back of Kaizer. He turned around. “Look up.” He followed what she said. He saw the long water slides. “It’s the best isn’t it?” she said like a child who was excited to buy the toy she wants.Kaizer could only shake his head. It looks like it would be a long day for him. Lauren was so energetic that he didn’t know if he could be a match for it. Looks like those sweets have an effect on her....It was a chilly afternoon that day. Amara decided to g
Kaizer slowly sat in a chair while massaging his head. He thinks that he tried almost all activities on the cruise ship for these past few days. Whenever Lauren sees or meets him, the woman invites him to try another cruise ship activity. And every time that happens, Claudia is around so he can't refuse.He didn't know whether it was just a coincidence or the woman was really watching his actions so that she could find the perfect time to talk to him.“Here’s your coffee, Sir,” Jason announced after putting the cup of coffee on the table, in front of Kaizer. Kaizer sits properly and then takes a sip from his coffee. After placing back the cup on the table, he looked at Jason. “Report,” he commanded.“Yes, Sir,” Jason replied. Jason picked up the tablet and then handed it to Kaizer. Kaizer accepts it and then looks at the documents on it.Jason clears his throat before starting to report.“Mr. Romero was the head of purchasing department* and the one that was responsible for sourcing
A simple and romantic dinner welcomed the two after entering Kaizer’s room’s balcony. Lauren could only shake her head and smile while looking at the decoration on the balcony.“Aren’t you being too competitive?” Lauren teasingly commented about the setup of the table. Earlier, while walking on their way to the cabin suite, Lauren suddenly remembered the dinner arrangement they talked about. She didn't doll herself up and just keep it simple because she thought that they would only have dinner at the dining hall or in one of the restaurants on the cruise ship. That's why she did not expect this kind of setup. Never in her life has she experienced the things in front of her right now. Who would take a risk to do that for her… right?One more thing, she doesn't have that much leisure time to spend on such things. She is too busy thinking about how her life is gonna survive every day.However, like any other girl, Lauren also wanted to experience romantic things with the one she loves.
Lauren was peacefully sleeping when she woke up from the loud knock on the door. She drowsily opens her eyes, then looks at the clock on her bedside table. It's already eight in the morning. It means that she overslept.All she could do was blame herself for not being able to wake up from the alarm clock. She was exhausted last night from work because there are many people who need to be accommodated in her workplace. In the end all of them work overtime because of that.“Lauren! You bitch, open this damn door!"Hazel continues to knock and shout in front of her room. Hearing this, Lauren quickly got up.Her hair that almost reached her waist, was in a mess as she doesn’t have the time to comb it. Wearing her old pajamas, she lazily opens the door. "What do you want?" Lauren nonchalantly asks her sister.She had no idea what Hazel’s problem was again, right now. Besides, she also doesn’t have time to accommodate whatever it is. It must be ano
After the confrontation, Stella and Fernand leave the room. Disappointment was seen in Fernand’s eyes, while there was a sly smirk on Stella’s lips when she turned around. The mother and daughter pair surely planned this all along. They make sure she can't retaliate against them.Only Hazel and Lauren were left inside the room.Hazel smiles triumphantly. She slowly walked towards Lauren – who's crying right now. She even mimics Lauren's cry and acts as if she's wiping her tears.“Tsk. You really look pitiful right now.” A wicked smile clearly showed on her face. “You will never win against me. Don't you know that?"Lauren glared at her. "Are you happy now? You destroy my reputation in front of our father."“Duh, of course! Dad doesn’t even care and believe you anymore. And soon, you will be kicked out of this house! But too bad... you’re not yet destroyed to the point you can't stand on your feet." Hazel laughed, then grabbed Lauren's hair. “If you
Minutes have passed and all that's left in the room was Lauren. She’s still sitting and crying on the floor. She's used to that kind of scenario, but she doesn't know why the hell she is crying right now. Maybe because her father won't believe her anymore or is it because she realizes that from the very beginning, she doesn't have someone to rely on.Her stepmother and sister were always scheming behind her back and she always falls for it. She’s too weak to retaliate, and she’s too kind to plot and scheme back on them. Because above everything that they have done to her, Lauren is still believing that someday… they will change.Lauren sighs. It’s too late… too late for her to realize that it won’t happen.She stood up and composed herself. Why would you cry on something that is not worthy of your tears? She scolds herself for being weak at that moment.Lauren wiped her tears, then she looked around at that messy room. From today onwards, she’s goin
Theo turned around to face Hazel and held the girl's hands.Concern was written all over his face.Hazel bit her lower lip, she knows that Theo only cares for Lauren as a little sister, but she can't help it. Her sister is beautiful and she's jealous of Lauren. She's able to get the man's attention without exerting any effort.“We all know how hard-working Lauren is. Therefore Hazel, as her sister you should remind her to rest." Theo reminded her.“You know babe, I always talk to her about it, but she's hard-headed. She doesn't listen to me anymore. I don't know what to do with her. Our parents were also worried about her." Theo knows how worried Hazel is for her sister. "Maybe you need to talk to her again. Persuade her, maybe this time she will understand you. And if she's not still listening, I'm the one who will talk to her about it. I don't want you stressing yourself over a small thing." Theo hugged Hazel for her to calm down. She unconsciously tightens
Lauren was so focused on her work that she didn’t mind what was happening around her.The moment she looked at the entrance, shock was written on Lauren's face. It was Hazel. Greeting the other guest as she entered the venue.Lauren was nervous as hell! If her sister knows that she’s there, Hazel for sure would do anything to embarrass her. It’s because she loves seeing her have a hard time.They didn’t know that she was working and even if she was working or not… they don’t care. They assume that she’s living her best life, partying… going somewhere… and creating problems. But it is still different if her sister finds out that she’s working there.Thus, she was sure that if Hazel saw her right now, she would tell it to their parent. And if that happens, she might even lose her job. Like what she did a few years ago.Lauren quickly retreated, and because she was in a panic, she didn't notice the person at her back. She almost lost
