Yin went upstairs without any hesitation. His hands were on his pocket as he walked like Mafia boss. When he reached the second floor, the door from Mari’s room slammed loudly.He shook his head and continued walking towards Mari's room. He stood in front her door, unable to make a move.Meanwhile, Mari laid down in her bed, facing the ceiling. She was tired the whole afternoon and she felt she catch a cold outside. She didn’t wear her bonet earlier, so, the outcome was she’s having a runny nose.She was about to close her eyes when there’s a sudden knock on her door. She rolled her eyes and gets up before squeezing her noise and asked, “Who is it?”“It's me…” she heard him. "Yin..."When she heard about his name, she didn’t answer nor open the door. “What do you want? Didn’t I tell you to go home? Did I tell you to follow me in my room?” She asked, sarcasm flashed on her tone.“I… I just want us to talk,” His voice was longing and sound sad.“There’s nothing to talk, Mr. Montero!” Ma
Mari woke up around 10 o’clock in the evening. She still has a runny nose as she gets off the bed and go out of her room. Upon walking in the stair, she saw a built of a man in the couch in the living room.Her forehead furrowed. ‘What the hell? Did that insane bug didn’t go home?’ She questioned in her mind.She walked slowly and never intended to make a noise. She passed by in the living room and took a sudden glance of Yin then rolled her eyes as she walked towards the kitchen.She didn’t open a single light but with the help of the moon, she still can see where the refrigerator is. She opened it and bring some milk and water. She poured it on a glass and close the door.She was startled upon turning around when she saw Yin, his arms folded over his chest with a gloomy face and messy hair, a reason for her to almost spurt the milk on him.“W-What the hell?” She growled, angrily. “Why are you still here?!”He bit his lower lip. “Don’t shout. You’ll wake your brother.” He said, nonch
“He did really cook this, huh?” Mari mumbled.She reheat the soup and after a minute, she gets a spoon and taste it. She stay stilled, her head suddenly felt pain. She held her head and a few memories flashes on her mind.‘I made you a mushroom soup, babe.’‘Your favorite.’‘Oh, it tastes good.’She can picture out the memories in the kitchen but probably not in the kitchen of her own house. She closes her eyes as she groaned but then, her brother run towards her worriedly.“Hey, Riri! What’s happening?” Her brother shouted, worriedly.“What kind of memory is that? Who’s that guy?” she asked, trembling.Dave’s forehead furrowed. “What kind of memory? What guy?” He asked, nervously.Mari looked at him. “T-The guy… he called me ‘babe’ and he knows that my favorite is mushroom soup. But I didn’t have the chance to see the guy’s face.” she answered.Dave swallowed. “D-Did your memory…”“Brother, I don’t know the answer either but the guy in my memory has a big similarity with Yin… don’t t
"Where do you think you're going?" Mari asked him. "Don't turn your back on me when I'm still talking, asshole!"Yin pursed his lips, looking back at her with a smirk flashes on his lips. "I'm going to my company, the meeting is already ended right, Ms. Sandoval?" Sarcasm filled his voice.Mari rolled her eyes. "Oh, sure! You can go! As if I need you here in my empire." She pushed him away."Wait, Ms. Sandoval," Yin uttered. "You need me in the construction of your branch in Cebu, woman."Mari raised a brow at him. "Why would I need your help?" She asked, bluntly. "I didn't ask for your help, Mr. Montero. I can find some better architect rather than you and without your investment." Mari uttered with annoyance. Yin just chuckled at her words. "Sure! Should I pull out my investment in your company?" He questioned, arrogantly. " If you just knew, I hold the highest percentage of your company's assets. I can buy the stocks of your investors in just a snap." He added, seriously. "Additio
At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Yin Hanzo is getting ready for his so-called dinner with Mari Sandoval but despite of his excitement, a playful scenery flashes in his mind."How can I tame your heart, Sandoval, hmm..." He thinks while facing his vanity mirror. "I'm handsome and attractive, nevermind the wealth because surely, you have tons of it." He talks with his reflection.He finished brushing up his hair, fixed his rolex watch and he's off to go at Elegantè restaurantè. While driving, a message was sent to his email informing that Mari has a reservation for two with complete details in it.He didn't replied back, he focused on driving. After a few minutes later, he arrived at the said restaurant. He parked his car in front serve as a parking lot for customers.Yin was greeted by a waiter, he just made himself emotionless."Any reservation, Sir?" The waiter asked him."Yes, and it is under Ms. Sandoval's name." He coldly answered."Oh! This way, Sir."The waiter assited h
Mari woke up late because of Yin last night. She wasn't sure if he went home safe and sound or not.Instead of thinking about him again, she rushed herself at the bathroom, take a quick bath and brush her teeth and at last, do her morning skin care to make her fresh and gloomy.She didn't have her breakfast, she ran off towards her car and drove fast until she reached her company. She was greeted by her employees but she remained quiet and didn't even bother to greet them back.Mari was welcomed with bunch of flowers in front of her office. Her forehead knitted, her gaze darkened."Harvey!" She shouted, loudly.Her secretary came, rushing. Fear flashes in his face. "W—What is it, Ms. President?" He asked, nervously.Mari pointed her fingers in front of her office. "What the fuck is this flowers doing here?!" Her thunderous voice echoed. "Do you think, I am dead already?" She sarcastically asked."No— Madam!" He answered.She felt weird and it creeps her out who sent a flowers from her
Mari woke up with a throbbing head. Her body feels weak and she couldn't even remember if she went home alone or what.She roamed around her eyes only to find out that she was in her bedroom. Her forehead is knitted when the door suddenly opens, her brother welcomed her with a tray in his hands."Good morning, princess," Dave greeted. "You should take a rest and don't force yourself to work," he uttered and slowly put down the tray in the bedside table.Mari massages her temple. "I'm good, brother. I just need to rest a little bit. I felt exhausted."Mari's brother sighed. "I'm sorry princess," he mumbled. "I should be the one handling the company; I should be the one exhausting myself to work..." He said, sadly.Mari shook her head. "I can manage, brother. I'm already sunk to work loads in the office." She answered, humbly."Still, you carry that burden in your entire life... when I decided to go abroad."Mari didn't utter a word. She sighed, shook her head and get the tray in her be
Mari has a lot of papers to check in her table when she hears a commotion outside her office. She creased her forehead, annoyed and stood up, walking towards her door.She opened it and she found Yin and her secretary, almost killing each other. She was shocked when Harvey punched Yin in the face."I told you many times, Mr. Montero, that the young Miss doesn't want to see you either visit her office!" Harvey growled, angry."And I told you, I will be seeing her with or without your consent! Who are you? She's not your girlfriend!""She wasn't my girlfriend and never will be but I have to warn you, Mr. Montero..." Harvey sharply eyed him. "Don't mess with the young Sandoval." He warned.Mari interrupted both of them. "What the hell are you doing here, Mr. Montero? Should I ban you in my company? File a restraining order?" She asks, raising a brow at him.Yin releases Harvey but before that, he pushes him which makes him stumble and slam on the ground."I'm not yet done with you, assho
