After Maica’s pictorial for Bench Fashion Magazine, she hurriedly went to the Mango Fashion Group building for an urgent meeting. Even she was surprised when Julie called her about it. She didn’t know what to prioritize, especially since Julie was currently away. Her friend had gone home to the province to take care of her sick mother. Maica didn’t hesitate to allow her, knowing that family always comes first. Julie assured her she’d be back before Monday.

For now, Maica had to attend all her appointments alone. Fortunately, Julie had already arranged her schedule, prioritizing the important ones. All she needed to do was show up. Another thing Maica was grateful for was the presence of her bodyguards, always ready whenever she needed security.

“Hi! I’m here for a scheduled meeting with Mr. Calvin,” she said to the receptionist while looking at her smiling.

Josh’s secretary immediately appeared to greet her.

“Glad to see you, Ms. Delmundo. Mr. Calvin has been expecting you.”

    Maica lay quietly on her bed, staring at their plain white ceiling. She couldn’t get the recent encounter with Third out of her mind—especially since he had disappeared without a trace before. She never thought he’d change that much. From his looks to the way he dressed, everything about him was different.Before, he was content wearing a plain white shirt and ripped jeans. Now, he looked so formal in a navy blue long-sleeved polo, black slacks, and polished black shoes. His once messy hair was neatly styled in a brush-up haircut. The only things that remained the same were his tan complexion and the deep dimples on both cheeks, which perfectly complemented his straight nose, moderately thick brows, and just-right lips. His deep-set brown eyes matched his sparse lashes.A small smile formed on Maica’s lips as she recalled their unexpected reunion—of all places, at the Mango Fashion Group building.“You really changed a lot, Third,” she whispered to herself.She closed her eyes, lettin

    “Maica, you have an appointment with Mr. Calvin this afternoon for the contract signing,” Julie reminded her.Maica took a deep breath as she stared at the ceiling of their room.“Is something wrong?” Julie asked, noticing her gloomy expression.“I’m probably just tired. My schedule has been fully booked for the past few days. I think my body is just looking for some rest,” she replied. “And about Denver’s cheating issue—I already confronted him, and you were right. I’m really glad I found the courage to talk to him last night. At least now, I have some clarity. I just jumped to conclusions too quickly.”“I told you. It’s always better to talk things out when there’s a misunderstanding so everything can be cleared up,” Julie said. “But about your appointment—are you still going, or do you want to rest today?”“I’ll go. You know how important time is to me. I don’t want to waste it just lounging around at home.”Maica knew that staying home wouldn’t do her any good. If anything, she’d

    Maica had been waiting for almost an hour in the Emerald Tower’s waiting area before their car finally arrived at the main entrance. Just in time, Denver and Julie also showed up, looking utterly exhausted. “Thank God you’re here.” Maica immediately stood up upon seeing the two. “Good thing you had Julie follow me. I was practically lost in the basement parking, searching for Manong George,” Denver said, still catching his breath. “No wonder you look like you just took a bath in your own sweat,” Maica teased. “Come on, Maica. No one told us it was scorching hot down there. I was about to run out of air just looking for Denver,” Julie explained. “At least you found each other.” Concern was evident on Maica’s face as they walked toward the car. “Yeah, I was on my way up to the first floor when Julie spotted me running around.” Denver quickly opened the car door for Maica and Julie, and both hurried inside. Once they were settled, he took the passenger seat beside the driver. “Ma

    “Maica, where have you been?” Julie hurriedly approached Maica, concern evident in her voice, as she found her sitting alone on a vacant bench in the waiting area of Emerald Tower. “Denver and I have been looking for you. Do you have any idea how worried he is?”“I just wasn’t feeling well, Julie,” Maica said, making an excuse. “But I’m okay now.”“Are you sure?” Julie’s doubt was written all over her face. “I’ve known you for so long, Maica. You can’t lie to me.”“Julie…” Maica’s voice started to tremble, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I think Denver is cheating on me.”“What?” Julie gasped. “Denver? Are you sure about this?”“I overheard him the other day. I was about to step out of our room when I heard his voice outside. He was talking to someone. I don’t know who it was, but I heard him say he missed her. He even called her ‘babe’ and told her he loves her too.” Maica could no longer hold back her tears, covering her face with her hands. “I don’t know what to do. I can’t lose

    Because of the heavy traffic, Denver decided to head straight to Emerald Tower, where Jane and her husband’s wedding reception was being held. “Yes, yes. We’re on our way.” That was all Denver said before ending the call. “Of all times for us to be in a rush, we just had to get stuck in traffic,” Julie complained. “Good thing Maica doesn’t have any more schedules after this, so we don’t have to worry about running late.” Denver focused back on the road, watching the red taillights flicker ahead of them. *** It took them over an hour before they finally arrived at their destination. Before stepping out of the car, Julie made sure her friend looked presentable enough for the event. “Hi, Jane.” Denver immediately greeted the ballerina with a cheek-to-cheek kiss before shaking hands with her husband. “Congrats. You really surprised us with this wedding.” “Actually, we’ve been planning this for a while. We just kept it private. You know how it is.” Jane smiled at Maica, as if hintin
