They all continued to have fun, Amber and Stephen also joined in dancing and singing, Stephen also joined in drinking until the night got darker and a few men could not avoid getting drunk with Stephen. "Master is drunk," Andrea said to Amber as they sat next to each other, talking with the other women. They stood up to support another drunken man, and Amber approached Stephen. “Do you need help Miss Amber?” John approached Amber. Amber smiled shyly at him and then nodded. "Is it possible, Mr. John?” "Of course. We will help you deliver Stephen, can you sleep in his room?" asked John. Amber didn't answer right away because she didn't know where she and Stephen would sleep, nor did she because Stephen didn't say where the guest room of the house was. "Alright Mr. John, I'll take him to his room," said Amber and then John helped Stephen with another staff member. Amber just followed them into the house until they reached Stephen's bedroom. "Thank you, Mr. John and thank you…” "Ga
As it used to happen whenever Amber and Stephen were in bed together, Stephen was always the first to wake up; the same thing happened today. He woke up before Amber, while Amber was still asleep with her head resting on Stephen's arm. Stephen gently held Amber's head to remove his arm where Amber's head rested, he was careful to move so that Amber wouldn't wake up, he knew Amber was tired. When he got out of bed, he adjusted the blanket around Amber's body and then he kissed Amber on the forehead. He smiled looking at Amber before leaving the room. And when he came out, he saw that the staff at the house were making repairs early. "Good morning, Sir Stephen..." Everyone greeted him. Stephen smiled at them and greeted them too. "What's our breakfast for this morning?" Stephen asked politely. Andrea's mother showed the food they cooked. They will also eat together because that's what they used to do, they always eat with Sandra's family. "John said this is what you requested last n
“We will miss you, Miss Amber.” Andrea said sadly, her mother Lynda was next to her. After breakfast, Amber and Stephen decided to return to the city because Stephen's mom suddenly called that she was needed at the mansion. So now the staff is saying goodbye to the rest house. "I will miss you too. Even if we were together for just one day, I feel relieved for you." Amber said with a smile. Stephen was just listening to them, waiting for the people to say their goodbyes. They became emotional that Amber and Stephen were leaving because for them it was certain that they would be able to return to their hometown for a long time, so they were sad when they both went home. "We'll be back," Stephen said. He assured the people there and also, he assured himself that he will indeed come back so he is not worried. "Call me immediately if you need something, or if there is a problem," added Stephen. John agreed because Stephen was right. "Be careful on the road," said John. "Thanks John.
Lucia glared at Amber, she didn't expect Amber to answer with words she didn't want to hear. Years passed, before Amber went to another place to study, something happened in their family that they will never forget. Flashbacks: "We don't know what to do anymore, there are so many problems but we can't even think of a solution or do anything," Annie cried to her husband, June. Annie's sister's family was with them. Lanie who is Annie's own sister, Albert who is Lanie's husband and their children Lucia and Hans. They are in the same place now, in the evacuation area because their village burned down, and almost no houses are left; including the house of two families. Amber, Lucia, Hans and Amber's three siblings, Jennie, Allen and Andrew, were also quietly on the sidelines, listening to their parents' conversation. "What are we going to do now? Where are we going to live? Because for sure, the government will not be able to handle everyone here, I guess there is not enough room for o
After Stephen said that, the Chairman was shocked, his eyes widened and his mouth agape; he couldn't believe that Stephen would say that. Even his five companions were shocked by Stephen's words. "Rally? How sure are you that grandpa will approach you?" asked Samuel. He is the youngest grandson of Chairman, and Stephen's cousin. They looked at Stephen seriously, except for Carson who seemed to be teasing when he looked at Stephen. "Yeah, how sure are you? It's not because you are the CEO of the company that grandpa will immediately approach you. Maybe you forgot we were still here," Carson said to Stephen with a laugh. Stephen just looked at them seriously and didn't speak again, he seemed to be just listening to what they were saying and then he turned back to his grandfather. “If you don't say anything more, I'm leaving—”” "Do not be rude!" the chairman suddenly shouted. Even the five were shocked by his sudden yelling, except for Stephen who seemed to be used to his grandfather
The next day, Stephen arrived early at Amber's condo to pick Amber up. He called her yesterday after he left at the mansion that he and Amber were going somewhere. Amber didn't know where they were going because Stephen said it was a surprise. He still hasn't received any calls from the companies he applied to so he agreed to meet with Stephen. She is now waiting at the bottom of the building, outside the entrance of the condominium building because that is where Stephen will pick her up, and while she was waiting she suddenly thought of what happened yesterday. The meeting with his cousin Lucia. She wonders where Lucia is staying and working. He couldn't deny to himself that he was nervous about what his cousin might do and do, especially now that Lucia and Lucia's family seemed to be following them. “Hey…” Amber immediately turned to her left when she heard Stephen's voice. Stephen smiled at him as if he didn't think of any problem. "Good morning," he greeted and kissed Amber on
Lucia smiled in the back of her mind as she shook Stephen's hand, she didn't expect that her boss would be so handsome in person. She only saw Stephen in his picture and she was fascinated by Stephen's handsome man especially when she saw him in person."Did she know her duties?" Stephen asked the HR Head."Yes, Sir. I already told her. In fact, she said she can start today," she replied.Stephen just nodded and then dismissed them both so the HR Head took Lucia to the cubicle meant for her—Amber's former cubicle."This is yours now. Sir Stephen's former secretary just resigned so you will be the one to use it now," HR Head said.Lucia frowned because she didn't know that Stephen's former secretary had just resigned, all she knew was that Stephen was looking for a secretary."When did she just resign? Or wait, it's a woman, right?" she asked."Yes, in fact it's his girlfriend." The HR Head said with a smile.Lucia frowned even more when she heard that, if she was surprised to learn tha
And because Amber's new job starts next week, she prepared her things for her work. He is at the Mall today with Jennie because he is going to buy clothes for office work. And while the two of them were at the salon spa because it was also part of their plan to go to the salon, they both talked."Amber, I saw Lucia yesterday," Jennie said, which made Amber stop reading the magazine she was holding."Lucia? Are you sure? Where?” Amber asked, nervousness on her face."I'm not sure if it's her but it's familiar, I saw her outside the building," Jennie answered.Amber became more and more quiet, she was nervous because she wasn't the only one approached by Lucia. For him, Lucia was harmless, back then. So he wasn't sure what Lucia's attitude was now, especially since Lucia's heart seemed to be covered with anger."Maybe let us not talk to her," said Amber and there was caution in her voice when she said that.Jennie frowned, confused by what Amber said. "What do you mean? Did you guys have
