"Big brother! Big brother!" A girl dressed in white came running. She was breathless from all the running. She managed a sweet smile for the young lad she called big brother. Her smile didn't reach her eyes. They seemed to be in the airport. Jacyn couldn't see the young man's face. It was blurry."Big Brother, look at me. Do I look pretty in this dress?" She asked him, turning around holding the hem of her dress. She looked like a little bride. She had white roses on her hair to compliment her white dress."You look lovely today. You look like a real princess." He replied, ruffling her hair affectionately."Big brother, do you really have to go?" She said in between tears. She was already sniffing while scratching her eyes. She pitifully looked up at him with uncontrolled sobs.The young man hugged the little girl. She could feel that he was hesitating to go. He let go of her, bent a little while holding her little face in his hands. "Little one, I have to go for our future. I'll pro
"What's my schedule for the day, Miss Lin?" Jacyn asked as she entered her office. She sighed as she saw piles of documents on her table. She just arrived and now, she's expecting a full packed day. Her work load seemed to have increased lately since the movie audition. She thought that it had something to do with that but she didn't care. She was diligent and hardworking even before she came back."We have a department meeting at 1:00 pm. Then, you have a meeting with an advertising company at 3:00 pm. Also, several people called asking if you are free for dinner tonight?" Lin Xian said while she's looking at her calendar on her tab. "Who were those people?" She asked uninterestedly. There was also an increase in calls lately, asking her out. They were the young masters from different affluent families all over the country who would like to have connections with her. Some were friendly dates and business meetings. Even mothers were trying to ask her out to matchmake her with their s
"We're here, Jace." Liam's husky voice woke her up from her trance. She didn't realize that they were now in front of the restaurant. " What were you thinking?" He said while looking at her gently."Uhmm.. no-nothing." She shook her head, denying that she's in a deep thought."Are you sure?" He looked at her with disbelief."Yeah, I'm sure. Why?" She keeps on denying it. She was bothered, yes, but she won't tell him anyway."Really, huh?" He softly chuckled. "We've been here for like ten minutes, but you seemed to be in a deep thought that you didn't notice that we've already arrived.""What? Ten minutes? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She blushed, she was caught lying. "Yeah, you seemed to be bothered about something. I'm afraid to disturb your thoughts, but you know, we don't have the whole night for ourselves. The food is waiting for us," he said with a wink, enjoying her discomfort. He unbuckled his seatbelt and went down the car. He opened the door and helped her go down. "You
"You really came," Marco said incredulously. He stared intently at the woman approaching them. She looked particularly stunning in a black, off shoulder, and princess cut maxi dress. She was walking towards them with grace and confidence. Her beauty overflows that everyone around her seems to be insignificant. Is this still the Jacyn he knew?He knew her back in her teenage years. She was the most beautiful and the most intelligent girl on their campus. Back then, she seemed oblivious to that fact that she still lacked confidence over the years. But looking at her right now, she looked so sure of herself. She was confidently beautiful.He noticed her cold frowning face and that made him unsure of the reason why she was here. But he kept those thoughts aside and walked forward to meet her."You're finally here, babe. You really couldn't endure to keep me waiting, right?" He said, about to hug her, but she managed to avoid him."What are you saying?" She asked coldly, looking at him and
'Has she gone overboard? Was it worth it?' She asked herself while looking at the receding figure of the couple. Was it better if she just let Marco explain his side of the story? No, there is no other better way than this, to let him feel the same pain he caused her. They both deserve this."Are you okay?" Liam was worried after seeing the look in her face."Of course, I'm more than okay." She grinned at him cheekily. He found her smile adorable and that greatly lightens his mood. He smiled back at her."Shall we proceed with our dinner, then?" He gently asked her while offering his arm. She nodded and hooked her arms to his. He looked at her eyes that were shining, mirroring the lights of the place.They settled at the open space on the second floor of the Silver Place where the sea of stars can be seen. The whole place was very silent with a sweet sound of violin playing. It was a romantic type of date.She blushed on the thought that she initiated this dinner. What will he think
Winnie Lou was so angry that she slammed the car door behind. "Ahhhh!!! What happened back there, Marco?" She shouted at him, her eyes red with fury."I don't know, Winnie - I don't know!" He shouted back at her, obviously suppressing his anger. He didn't know what had gone wrong. Maybe his message didn't reach Jacyn, that's why she didn't know of their supposed date. Maybe her secretary never mentioned it to her. How about Winnie? How did she know about his location? "Were you spying on me, Winnie?" He said with a darkened expression."What are you trying to imply? Me? Spy on you?" She shook her head unbelievingly. "You're unbelievable, Marco.""Oh, now we're talking. Why were you spying on me, huh?" Marco was fuming in anger. How could she know that he's waiting for Jacyn there if she didn't spy on him. It couldn't be a coincidence. "Marco, I am not spying on you, okay? You invited me, you asked me for a date!!" She started to cry. "Here, let me show you your message." She searche
“Someone’s following us, young miss.” Uncle Shan warned her, while he glimpsed at the rearview mirror from time to time. “Look at that white van, since we passed by the crossroad, it's already tailing us."Jacyn looked back and saw a white van in the distance. It was early in the morning and there were not too many cars on the road. The van couldn't be easily spotted as it maintained a significant distance from them. If it was only her, she wouldn't have noticed that that car was following them discreetly. But it was Uncle Shan, her personal driver and bodyguard. He was a retired military and he was trained for this purpose. And so she believed his judgement."Uncle Shan, what should we do, then?" She said weakly, her hair started to rise on one end. It was like a deja vu and she started to panic. Uncle Shan increased their speed as an answer to her. She looked back and noticed that the van increased its speed too, to keep them within their range. "Please put on your seatbelt, Miss.
"Yeah, she's safe for now." He took a glimpse at the sleeping Jacyn at the car's back seat. Her brows were knitted together indicating that she's uncomfortable. She fell asleep as they waited for an hour to pass. "They're on the move now." The man on the other line tightened his grip on his phone upon hearing the report on the incident earlier. His countenance darkened and he looked fearsome."Good work on protecting her, today." He didn't forget to thank Uncle Shan. "Young Master, I may have protected her today but what if they'll come back? Maybe we'll have to increase her guard." Uncle Shan told him his worry. "She also asked me to investigate this matter. I promised her I'll look into it.""Do as she asked you to do. But always be on guard. Don't let them know you're investigating them. They're supposed to let their guard down."Uncle Shan agreed and bid him goodbye. 'They're on the move now.' Uncle Shan's words were like an echo repeating on his head over and over again. Mayb
