All of a sudden, Uriel requested her to stay. Rain had no room for rejection as it is a part of her work, although, there’s a huge part of her that was so disappointed because she thought she could finally go home and have a rest.

"If you wish, Sir. I shall stay and lend you my help." She answered.

"I appreciate it, Miss Esquivel." He tilt his head up to look at her. When he found her eyes looking back at his, he couldn't figure something as to why those deep emerald eyes gives him some chill, which is indeed quite unknown.

"What is it that you want me to help you with, Sir. So, we could begin it." She didn't let the topic loose and asked the necessary things that her boss wants her to help with.

Uriel took off his sight from her and check the things that he needs her to work with. When he found the gigantic files piling up beside his table, he pointed it for her to see.

"It's here." He must be saving his words for that. Rain took several steps to see where he was pointing, her e

    As soon as Mr Tejero left the restaurant. The two of them were constantly filled with silence. Rain doesn’t know how to break the silence or shall we say she had no intention on breaking it. "You can finish your food first, we'll leave once you are done." Uriel said. She didn't bother answering and just followed him. While she's eating, Uriel spoke to her again. But it is with the topic she didn't expect to receive. "How is it to have a husband?" Rain thought she once said to him about her being invlove in an unwanted marriage. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe, he just wants to know how it feels and experience despite the unwanted marriage she's in. She swallowed the rest of the food she's crashing beneath her mouth before responding. "I can say, it's better than being left alone. Despite the indifference of our set up." She said casually. "And you're okay with that?" He asked and took a glimpse of her. "I had no choice." Uriel could feel the anger building at the dept of his temper b

    At lunch, Rain was called by her boss, Uriel. She was about to have her lunch with the other employees, when he called and told her that they would be out to attend an important lunch meeting with one of their investors. "Mr Tejero will arrive in two minutes. Be ready." Uriel is just sitting beside her, while she's seated by the glass wall where she could overview the scene outside the hotel restaurant. "Yes, Sir. I'm ready." She assured him with a glimpse of a smile. She got her jot down notebook together with a pen ready for note taking if there is, well, possibly there could be as it is part of her role to this job position, as well as she's not with her boss for just a mere lunch. Two minutes passed by, the said client has arrived. It is a middle aged man, around his fifties. He may be stressed despite being rich because of the wrinkles in his forehead and his face. Even the skin shows the same with his age. "Good noon, Uriel. Did I made you wait for long?" Uriel accepted Mr

    "Have you finished the first compiled files I gave you?" "I'm almost done with it, Sir. Do you need it now?" Rain answered honestly as she leaned on her swivel chair. Keeping her body relaxed. "Have it finished by five, I'll come by your place and pick it up." His voice seemed to be something, like a song that relaxes her soul. It was clear, crisp, and deep. It's what exactly she desires from an ideal person. Uriel was indeed an ideal person, an ideal man. That man who looked firm and strict but has a soft side where she can only see it. More likely from a typical man born in fictional stories. However, fiction and reality are completely different "Ah, Sir. I can finish this in an hour, I'll just deliver it to you there in the company." "You're injured. I won't allow you to risk your health just for those files that I need." "But -" She resisted but was interrupted immediately. She was most thankful for it because she doesn't have to elaborate things out for him t

    "Mama, why are you here? Are you not gonna leave for work?" While Rain was busy working in front of her computer, her son Alas suddenly came into her room and asked with a knot in the forehead. Probably, curious why she was at home. Rain paused from what she was doing and moved to face her son. She smiled as she held him in his right arm while leveling herself to her son's height. "Mommy is not going to work onsite and was allowed by her boss to work from home because she got injury that needs rest. That's why Mommy is here today with you." She then pinched her son's nose in conclusion. Alas, on the other hand, giggled. "Wow, that's so nice of your boss, Mama! May I know his name so I could thank him one day?" Alas was so innocent and cheerful, which relieves her tiredness from the work she's doing. She couldn't help herself not to hug her son and shower him kisses carefully. "His name is Uriel, baby. But sadly you can not meet him now." She said as she caressed her son's hair. A

    "Aiden, is your brother usually like that?" Rain asked Aiden the moment she had already settled on the bedroom she's going to occupy for the night. As promised, Aiden helped her throughout the way up and get settled. Aiden laughed meticulously somehow, and Rain's question amuses him. It was unexpected, and even the question itself is surreal. Or maybe he was used to his brother weirdness already that he didn't expect such a question to be asked. "Apparently, no. He's not like this, Rain." he said first as he handed Rain a glass of water. "You must be feeling thirsty. Here, drink this." Rain accepted the water from him and wasn't hesitant to drink it. He was right. She's undeniably thirsty. She might have forgotten it, that's why she's not feeling it. "My brother doesn't really give shit to anybody he sees unrelated or even related to him. Especially to those people who he sees useless and can't gain something from them? He basically maintained himself out of anybody's busines

    It's nearly eleven in the evening, and it's already late, yet they are not yet home, which Rain should have been. But here they are, gazing at each other as if they got intertwined at the same interspace where no one else but them. Antonette pursed her lips in irritation when she saw the scene between Uriel and Rain. Her brows furrowed, and her forehead wrinkled furiously. She couldn't contain the shame and embarrassment she got from all the hard work she invested. She can't accept this! Due to her unwavering emotion and greediness, she grabbed Rain by the shoulder and pushed her away from Uriel. "Bitch, get off him!" she yelled from the bottom of throat, which cause an attention to everyone. Gossips began to rise. Rain gasped as she fell her butt to the floor. Pain assaulted her body as she seemed to sprain her right elbow. Uriel swayed and fell in the opposite direction. Aiden arrived at that scene and gave immediate help to Rain, who is now silently aching in pain. She c
