One week passed, after more than two weeks of Isabel and Isaac's stay in the hospital, they were finally released. Derek and Alice happily welcomed the two siblings to the apartment with a surprise for the two.“Welcome home, Isaac!” Derek and Alice were surprised at the same time.Isabel was stunned by that surprise, and even Isaac couldn't help but be surprised.“Wow! Lots of balloons and food!” Isaac's reaction.Alice just laughed and hugged Isaac at the same time."That's all for you, Isaac." he says."Thank you Alice." Isaac looked at Derek and hugged him too."You're a strong boy!" Derek said and stroked Isaac's hair."Anyway, we still have a guest. Of course, I invited him so that we can thank him." Alice said and asked Arkus to enter the apartment."Hello!" Arkus greeted happily.Isabel smiled. And he let Isaac thank him for his help when he took him to the hospital."Thanks." Isaac answered shyly."No problem, Isaac. You have to be thankful to your sister because she begged m
Gideon stopped when he saw the woman that was not disappearing from his mind. He still couldn't stand, sadness and teary eyes remained in his eyes.“Um, I'm sorry if I didn't inform you that I was coming–”"Y-You surprised me." Gideon trembled.Isabel sighed. Even though he couldn't speak, he seemed nervous that now he was facing Gideon."Yeah, Um..." he still stood his ground.Gideon stood up and faced Isabel. He slowly walked towards her."What brings you here?" he asked."I would like to finish my transactions with you, remember the debt I owe you? I'm carrying him now.." Isabel answered.Gideon frowned. "Isabel, I'm not charging you. And you don't have to pay, it's my help for Isaac, it's not a debt—”"But I want to pay him Gideon. Please accept it." Isabel took out the money inside the envelope and handed it to Gideon.Gideon shook his head, tears in his eyes. "No, Isabel...""Please...for the peace of my mind." Even Isabel was crying but she stopped it in front of Gideon."No, I
"You two get out of my house! Bad luck!” Mila exclaimed while throwing the belongings of siblings Isabel and Isaac out of the apartment. "Oh, Aunt Mila! What are you doing?!” Isabel exclaimed as she rushed over to pick up their clothes that were scattered on the road. She had just come home from work and seemed surprised by what she saw. "Aunt Mila, what happened and you suddenly kicked us out?" Isabel asked again as she picked up their clothes one by one. Mila retorted fiercely, "Your stupid brother! Letting all my remaining money be stolen!" “Stolen?” “Yes! The thief entered the house because he left the door open! Your brother Isabel is really stupid!” Mila added angrily. Isabel ignored her Aunt's anger and dashed into her room to find her brother. “Isaac! Isaac!” she called. "Sister.." Isaac muttered as he carried his shattered paintings. "What happened? Are you okay? Didn't the thief hurt you?" Isabel asked, touching her brother's face. "I'm fine sister, the thief stol
Past eight o’clock in the morning, when Gideon got out of his car. He increased his pace while fixing the button on his suit.Everyone greeted him when he started to enter Fierro’s Enterprise Building."Gideon you're late." Sam told Gideon emphatically as he hurriedly walked to the conference room."Is Mr. Carter here either?” Gideon ignored his Uncle's enraged but continued walking."Yes, and you're the only one waiting." Sam replied, annoyed.When Gideon entered the conference room, their emotions as he entered the meeting room were disappointed.“Move over.” He ordered his associates to begin the marketing data analysis that he would explain to the investors.After Gideon sat down, a small letter was placed on his desk."You owe me today." he looked at Freya and she winked.After a few moments of explaining the data analysis, Gideon asked for a break to talk to the investors in private. But before that happened, he pulled Freya outside the room and asked what the letter meant."I
As they heard about the owner already there in the Resorts, all the employees stopped cleaning for the moment. Out of respect for the employees they line up as they bow their head slightly for the owner to walk among them. When Gideon passed by, the employees greeted him politely, knowing that they could be asked or talked to by the owner at any time."Good morning, Sir Gideon—" Gideon interrupted Lazaro's speech because of his annoyance with him."Let's talk later, Lazaro." and he turned his attention to the employees. "Everyone, introduce yourself to me." Gideon ordered.The employees came to a halt, apparently scared about what their boss intended to do."Anyone? Who wants to introduce himself first?" Gideon asked gruffly, almost running out of patience.Alice raised her hand and excitedly went to the front to properly introduce herself to Gideon."I'm Alice Anderson, 27 years old and I work here at Fierro Resorts as one of the beautiful waitresses, my motto in life was—""Okay nex
After two days, Isabel tries to avoid Gideon as much as possible because of the temptation he shows her; seeing Gideon is only a reminder for her about the thing she was unable to do. Instead of blaming herself, she took control by being active at work in order to achieve her only goal: getting her brother medicine and an education.Since Gideon's arrival at the Resorts, customers have been attracted to come and check in, which is why the number of clients has been increasing in comparison to the previous few days. Because of a lot of customers, Isabel startled and accidentally bumped into Freya, spilling sauce on her dress."What the heck!" Freya exclaimed as she examined the sauce stain on her dress."I-I'm sorry, Ma'am, I'll just clean it up." Isabel immediately wiped the sauce with a clean rag, but it spread even more."You've just ruined it even more!" Freya was irritated.That scene grabbed attention, so some customers were looking at the two of them.Even Gideon, who was busy t
"What did Sir Gideon tell you, why did he call you to his office?" Alice whispers in an interest after Isabel returns to the kitchen.Isabel let out a sigh. “He already knows…he already knows that I'm the girl—”“Oh my God..is it true? You confessed to him?”“No–he made me confess. And…And when I said that it was me—” Isabel looked around them before completing her sentence."What? What happened?""H-He kissed me...this time it's passionate like it's full of excitement. Then I kissed him back—Geez, I don't know what was happening to me at that time, I couldn't stop him." Isabel gripped her forehead since she didn't expect it to happen.Alice covered her mouth due to surprise. "Oh my God, Isabel...I'm at a loss for words.""Please, Alice, don't judge me; I blame myself too much; please, I don't want to talk about it again; promise me you won't remind me of it again," Isabel begged."Are you insane, Isabel? Sir Gideon is our boss, he'll be here for three months, what you're saying is im
"I'm sorry, Sister; I shouldn't have fought with Marcus," Isaac said as he lay on the bed."I told you it's not bad to fight back, Isaac, but in your situation, you should stay away. You make me nervous," Isabel sighed as she stroked her brother's hair."Sister.. how long will I suffer from asthma? I'm jealous of my classmates who can do what they want. How can I have a girlfriend if I can't defend myself against those who fight with me?" Isaac explained, disappointed in himself."Isaac, you are strong and smart; I'm sure someone will like you just as much, but this time prioritize your studies and your health first, so I’m not getting worried anymore."Isaac gave a slight nod and smile. "I'm sorry, Sister; you've made so many sacrifices for me.""Come on, I love you, so I'll do anything to help you get better and not get back here in the hospital again."After a while, the nurse arrived to explain all of the medications they required along with their hospital bills. Isabel sighed dee
