Scarlet's POV I was distracted by the sunlight hitting my face. I looked at what time it was, it was seven in the morning. My partner was still asleep that's why I smiled. Maybe he was very tired because of the flight yesterday and then he insisted on talking with us last night. I just shook my head at his rudeness. "Good morning, honey," I whispered to him and quickly kissed him on the forehead. He didn't wake up so I went out of my room to prepare breakfast for him. I miss it so much, you serve him every morning and we have breakfast together. It's just a good feeling.I'm currently in the kitchen of my condo, cooking fried rice, hot dogs, eggs, tocino and ham. Just simple foods that are easy to cook. I also have to work double time because we still have work at 8:30 tonight. "Good morning, honey." I felt Gio's warm and careful hug from my back and kiss on my cheek. That made me smile. "Good morning too, honey," I promised and faced her. "Kiss," he promised me and snorted. I i
Scarlet's POV My anger seems to have turned into a ball of fire at what I see now. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" I shouted at them. The two immediately turned around. I saw the scared expression of my assistant. His eyes widened when he saw me. Her swollen eyes from crying are obvious here. “Ma'am Scarlet!” shouted Ms. Tuazon to me and quickly came to me. "It's good that you're home, I'm sorry!" he promised me that he was crying. "Leave aside first, Ms. Tuazon," I promised him and looked seriously at the woman sitting at my table. "What are you doing here?" I asked him angrily."Why? Is it bad to visit my niece's restaurant? In the first place this is my money, my company's money was spent on it," he promised me and grinned. "You don't own this, Leila, so go away. It's like I worked hard for it so you have no right to it in my restaurant!” I shouted at him. I felt my body tremble because of what he said. He was bold enough to say that this restaurant was his. Only this girl, she's g
Scarlet's POV We almost finished our food on the table. It's funny because they taste so good in my cooking. Even Lily posted the foods on her social media. We didn't know that it was popular on various social media like Itube. She's a famous vlogger in America that's why sometimes I see her show-shoot alone and sometimes she takes pictures of beautiful scenery. She has more than five million followers there and we are so amazed to her. We were currently eating when Gio elbowed me. I turned to him and frowned. "Why?" I asked him. "What did I hear from Mr. John that there was a commotion that happened here earlier?" Gio asked me turning to Aira, Lily and Tom."W-what? Why did he know?” I asked him. "You don't know? I have you watch over Mr. John since I know Leila is here in the Philippines," he promised me. I turned to Lily, does she know this? "Actually, I was the one who told him that my good mother has been here for a long time," he promised me. "Why did not you tell me?" I
Scarlet's POV I still can't get over what Lily said to me. I don't know if I should be nervous or what. I remembered what he said that he would be a giant to me. I closed my eyes tightly. I'm thinking about my family's situation in Siargao because Leila knows where we live and not hers, it's hard to find my family. "Are you okay, honey?" Gio asked me. We are currently in my office sitting on a small sofa. Lily, Tom and Aira left a while ago. This one is struggling not to enter his company. Since he is the CEO He can do whatever he wants even if he is absent for a week. "Yes, I'm okay," I promised him and sighed."It's like you're not okay. Tell me, what's bothering you?" he asked me. I looked away and bowed. shall i say I took a deep breath. "I'm afraid," I promised him. "What are you afraid of?" "I'm afraid of what Lily told us. This morning Leila threatened me. He said he would take revenge on me and return to me. I don't know what kind of return but I'm afraid not for me if
Scarlet's POV I QUICKLY called my mom to convince her to come here for a vacation in Manila. It's better when they are here than my mind is always in Siargao. I can't focus on work especially handling my restaurant. We immediately reported what happened earlier, Gio is still talking to the police, they will come to check the CCTV, I also requested that they look at the footage as soon as my restaurant closes. It's also a big puzzle when my customers see that the police have entered my office. After a few rings, mom immediately answered my call. "Hello, mom?" I promise on the other line. “Oh, why? You called?" he asked me. "Uhm, I miss you," I promised him. I looked at Gio who was just staring at me. He must have finished talking to the police on the phone. "We miss you so much, son," mom promised me softly. I smiled at what he said. "Uhm, mom," I said nervously to her. "What is that? Do you have a problem, huh?” The concern in his voice was obvious so I answered im
Scarlet's POVLAST NIGHT was amazing. It's so funny because he really knows how to cook. His adobo was delicious and savory, it looks like I'm about to lose for being the best cook. He really made sure that I would like what he cooked and I was thrilled because of that. He never fails to amaze and makes me happy.I smiled as I remembered what happened last night. We had so much fun that I didn't want it to end. For the longest time, I also experienced a dinner date and my girlfriend even cooked. Because I'm always the one cooking and not being cooked."Ms. Scarlet, your smile looks beautiful today, what's wrong?" Marites este Diana asked curiously."Nothing, isn't it okay to smile?" I asked him laughing."No, your smile is different today than the day before. Did you water last night?" he whispered to me. Diana is one of my close friends here at the restaurant so we have nothing to hide from each other. H
Scarlet's POV“Are you okay, honey? Did he hurt you?” Gio asked me worriedly.I frowned because he was here, I didn't tell him that I was going to the precinct. I turned to Mr. John bowed."Mr. John, did you tell him?” I asked Mr. John."I'm sorry Ms. Scarlet, I tell my boss everything that happens," he promised me. I held my breath because of what he said."What's going on here?" Gio asked us."Gee! Thank God you are here! That's like Scarlet, I'm going to be sued," Leila said, frowning at me."Honey, he was the first to file a case against me that makes no sense," I promised him."It's true that you stole the money you spent at the restaurant. That was mine! That's my money!” he shouted at me."Oh really! You still don't budge, let's just keep repeating Leila. That money is mine, I'll keep it in my bank! I worked hard to collect it, if you say the
A few days passed when we went to the precinct. Until now, Leila hasn't shown up to us, even though she's hearing, she doesn't even show up. So I'm afraid that he might be planning how he can beat us.A while ago, my mother and siblings came to my apartment. I was very happy to see them. Thank you and they are safe on the flight, until now I am very happy because I have them with me. Gio didn't know they were here yet so I had to call him.They are now sleeping in my room because they are tired and awake from the flight. I took out my phone to call my fiancé Gio. I was just on the sofa watching TV, I turned it down because his phone was ringing. After a few rings, he answered his phone."Hello, honey? Is there something wrong?” he asked me with a hint of concern."Nothing, I just want to tell you that my mother and siblings have arrived at the apartment today. They are here now and sleeping," I promised him.&ld
