LVII: Mr. President, It's All About Trust!
The CEO of the company seems to be not in a good mood. He's wearing a long face as he enters his office. And Lylia has a clue why is he having a bad mood but she isn't so sure.
"Lylia."
She got distracted from her thoughts when Al suddenly called her in a serious tone. She flinched at first but she managed to recollect her composure soon after.
"Yes, sir?" Lylia attentively answered, waiting for her boss' next words.
He looks straight into her eyes as he leans on his desk. "Would you consider becoming my secretary?"
"Sorry?" She doubted if she heard it right. Did he just offer her the position of becoming his secretary? Does she even have the qualifications required to become one? She doesn't think so.
"I said, would you be my secretary?" This time Al's face slowly grows brighter, becoming more like the usual face he wears.

It's amazing how love can motivate us to push ourselves beyond our limits, to do things to an extent we don't expect we can. Truly, love is one of the wonders of this world, and it remains a mystery to many.Alphonse Cruz, the youngest child of the late influential businessman in the region, is not an exception to experience this sublime feeling. At the age of 33, he turned his back on the riches that's once on his hands, as well as the fame he has as one of the rising icons in the world of business.

The day is about to end yet Ulysses and Dylan don't have plans to go home anytime soon. They aren't doing anything in particular. Just sitting side by side on the seawall, watching the sun gradually retires to the west. They find it amazing how they still enjoy the company of each other even without talking. Just the sound of the waves, the refreshing smell of the sea breeze, the sunset, and the two of them make them feel more than enough. Satisfaction at its finest. Maybe things work this way when you're in love."What if one day we will forget about it completely?" Dylan asks out of nowhere without breaking his gaze from the sun. His face doesn't show much emotion yet his eyes express a hint of sadness. Truly, our eyes are the windows of our soul.It took some time for Ulysses to react. He stares silently at the sunset for a little more, looking like he's thinking. He then slightly turns his head to look at Dylan who's still looking afar. The warm light reflects on h

"I can barely move my fingers. My hands are too cold." Dylan said in a low voice as he watch his fingers slowly folding and unfolding themselves. "Maybe the temperature is too cold for you? Wait, I'll tell the technician to make the aircon's temperature a little higher." Ulysses was about to turn his back and head towards the in-charge of the aircon but Dylan stopped him before he could even take a step away. "Don't! I'm not feeling cold. I'm just nervous." He forced a smile on Ulysses. But truth to be told, the temperature is a bit lower than his body could withstand. He's sensitive to cold after all. May it be in the present or in his previous life. "And you can't do that. The others might complain." "I brought my sweater with me." He took the sweater from his bag and made Dylan wear it. Knowing Vincent by heart, Ulysses assumes that Dylan isn't comfortable with cold temperatures. "It's not that thick but it should help you feel warm." The sweater just fits
