Clarisse Marshall is a pretty and simple convenience store employee. She works hard for the money, and she has a pure and gentle heart, and she is more than willing to help anyone, and Michele Montserrat is just one of them. She saved Michele Montserrat's life, and as a result, the man fell inlove with her, fast and hard. Michele is a sweet, warm, kind and a gentle man, however, there's only one problem. He is the future "Godfather" of an organized mafia group which is called the "Vitale Clan" which deals with drugs and weapons. Would she be able to set herself free from Michele's romantic pursuit towards her?
View MoreClarisse smiled at the customer after giving her the change for her purchased item.
"Thank you for coming by at Everyday Convenience Store, please come back again!" she said goodbye to the customer, with a smile.
When the lady customer finally left the store, Clarisse went to one of the shelves which is full of packed pastries. She checked the expiration date one by one and she started to put some breads on her plastic bag when she sees that it will expire three days from now. Clarisse suddenly stood up when she heard the door opens, which means that another customer walked in at their convenience store. She stood up, walk towards the cashier counter, and greeted the customer with a big smile.
"Welcome to Everyday Convenience St----!" Clarissa wasn't able to finish what she was about to say when the man suddenly collapses infront of her.
She was too shocked to move at first, but she was able to recover from her shock after a few seconds. She quickly went towards the man who was half-conscious.
"Sir, are you alright?" she asks the man.
The man just groaned in return, while his eyes are tightly closed.
Clarissa stared at the stranger. His face was white as a sheet. He is also sweating a lot, and he is shaking uncontrollably. Her eyes roamed around his body, as she tries her best to search for any clues about this man. She then saw a gold colored ID bracelet. She softly gasped when she found our that it was a medical ID bracelet, which has some important information, such as his medical condition. She found out that the man has a condition called hypoglycemia. She also read certain names of medicine, his allergies, and his emergency contact as well. As she is a fan of medical television dramas, she somehow knew about the first aid for hypoglycemia. She quickly went to the nearest candy shelf, got one big piece of candy, unwraps it, and places it inside the stranger's mouth. Afterwards, she started calling the ambulance.
"Hello, I would like to request an ambulance. There is a customer at our convenience store who suddenly collapsed, and based on his bracelet, he is suffering from hypoglycemia. Let me tell you our address..."
After Clarisse finished talking with the emergency operator, she quickly called the emergency contact that was engraved on the man's bracelet. She was able to talk to a man with a deep and scary voice, and she gave him the address of the convenience store. After making all the necessary calls, she puts back her attention again to the stranger. She heaved a sigh of relief when the she noticed that there's color on his face again, he's not that sweating as before, and his shaking movements finally stopped. It means that the candy somehow helped the man. The only thing that they need to do is to wait for the ambulance to come and to wait for his emergency contact to arrive as well.
Clarisse saw the stranger open his eyes, and he was saying something that she wasn't able to understand. She moved closer to the man as she tries to understand what he was saying.
"T-Thank you..." the man said in a whisper.
"You don't need to worry, Sir. The ambulance is coming soon. I've already called your emergency contact as well." Clarisse tries to reassure the stranger.
The man was about to say something more, but he wasn't able to do so because the paramedics already arrived, and everything just went so fast. The man was put in a stretcher, and at the same time, another man, who's about the same age just the the patient, suddenly followed behind the stretcher. Clarisse heaved a sigh of relief as she watches the ambulance car drive away. She pretty sure that the stranger is going to be alright. She then decided to go back to work and assist the customers who are now entering the convenience store...
=============================
Few days have passed since the incident. Clarisse is doing her job at the convenience store without encountering any problems. And just like what she usually do, she is now busy collecting all the food that are going to be expired three days from now. She plans to collect them all, as she is planning to being it to Sunshine Homes. It's an orphanage where she grew up. She's going to give all the food to the children there... She suddenly stops moving when he heard a serious, baritone voice behind her.
"Excuse me, Miss. Are you Clarisse Marshall?"
Clarisse wheeled around to see who was talking to her. She saw a certain man who's wearing sunglasses, and he is frowning at her. She can also see a medium-sized dragon tattoo on his neck, and he is wearing a dark suit at the middle of summer. She thought that this man looks weird, but he is still a customer.
"Yes, sir. How can I help you?" Clarisse politely asks the man.
Man: "My Boss is inviting you to have dinner with him this evening. He'll be extremely pleased if you say "yes."
Clarisse's eyes met in a frown after she heard this stranger who's standing infront of her. She doesn't have any idea what he's talking about. Who is this man's Boss? And why does he wants to have dinner with her?
"I'm sorry, there must be a misunderstanding here. I don't know who you are, and I don't know who's your Boss is." Clarisse stated.
"I'm sorry for the late introductions. I'm Johnny Croone, and my Boss' name is Michele Montserrat. You saved my Boss' life few days ago when he was suffering from a severe hypoglycemia." the man gallantly introduces himself.
Clarisse finally remembers the man that she helped few days ago. She can still clearly remember how bad his condition was, but good thing the ambulance just came on time. He can also remember the man standing before him, because she was the emergency person of the patient.
"Oh, right! I can still remember him! How is he now? Is he alright?" she finally remembers.
"I'm absolutely sure that you'll find someone who will love you for who you are, not because of your beauty, or the way you dresses and not because of your status in life. Someone will definitely love you with all their mind, heart and soul..." Martin seriously said, as he stares right into Sarah's eyes.Sarah doesn't know why, but those words that comes out from Martin's mouth are like music to her ears. No one man has said something like this to her, and it made her feel really special as a woman.As a career woman, she has been known as "Iron Woman." She tough, she's strict, she's a hard nut to crack, and she doesn't show any emotions to her colleagues.She's been showing her strengths to her co-workers and she's making sure that she hides her weaknesses. Since she started working, she's giving this "Indestructible Woman" kind of vibe.She thinks that its one of the reasons why men doesn't want to get closer to her.And now, out of the blue, there's this amazing man who never fails
After a few minutes, Martin politely said his goodbyes, and afterwards, he walks back to the kitchen.The kitchen's not busy anymore because lunchtime is already over. Martin fell into a deep thought. Tyler and Cassandra seems to be a very nice couple. Tyler's a very pleasant and handsome man, and it's no wonder why Sarah's been inlove with him.However, it was clear as day that the man's head over and heels inlove with Cassandra.He feels a bit sorry and proud of Sarah because she decided to sacrifice her feelings towards the man that she loves, in exchange of the happiness of her friends.He wants to do something to make her feel better, to let her know that she's going to be alright...============================Few days have passed.Sarah took a deep calming breath before stepping inside the restaurant. She decided to go back to the restaurant after their luncheon date with Tyler and Cassandra. She wanted to thank Martin for keeping her secret, and he pretended that they haven'
Three days quickly flew by... "Where are the newly-engaged couple anyway?" Kyla suddenly wondered aloud, as she started checking for her phone to see if Tyler and Cassandra has called or sent a message.Sarah checked her own phone and she smiled when she read Cassandra's message."Oh, Cass just messaged me and she said that they are on their way now." she informed her friend."Great, I'm really starving right now. I haven't eaten breakfast because I've been taking care of the twins and I was so busy giving my hubby a quick lesson about taking care of the kids." Kyla blabbered on."I think you and your husband are doing a great job. I'm sure Tyler and Cass will ask for your advice once they have their own baby." Sarah stated."How about you? Aren't you planning on getting married and having a family of your own?" Kyla started asking her questions."Not in the near future." Sarah answered in return, while shrugging her shoulders."Be careful of what you say, my friend. We don't know wh
A week quickly passed by.Cassandra groaned inwardly when she heard her smartphone ringing. She was still sleeping because she didn't sleep a wink last night because she's been thinking about Tyler.Her fiancé didn't call her for a week, and it really breaks her heart. She wanted to call her first, but her pride gets in the way...She looked the caller screen, hoping that it was a call from Tyler. But she felt a pang of disappointed when she saw that it was her mentor from the Aesthetics School in London."Hello, Miss Robin?""Hello, there, dahlin'. So, have you made your decision about extending your contract with us?" Mrs. Robin went straight to the point with her phone call.Well... Tyler didn't call for a week, and based on what they have discussed in the park, it's obvious that they called off their engagement... There's no way for her to stay here, and going back to to work in London can serve as a positive distraction for her..."Yes, Miss Robin. I gladly accept your offer. Whe
"Our advise won't really matter, Gianna. We're not the one who's getting married... It's you." Sarah frankly stated."--But what do you really want to do? Do you want to postpone the wedding for another two years for you to continue pursuing your dream?" Kyla suddenly asked."--Or do you want to forget about that job opportunity and be a full-time wife?" Sarah asked Cassandra another question. "I really don't have any idea, girls. If I could, I want to do both." Cassandra said, while shaking her head."I think the right thing to do is to talk to your fiancé about it. You need to sort out this problem, since you're going to be married soon, and whatever decisions you might have, it will affect both of you." Sarah seriously commented."You're right... I just need to find the perfect timing to talk to Tyler. He's been talking about the wedding for the passed few days." Casandra lets out a sigh."Do it as soon as possible before it's too late." Kyla advised."Yes. The sooner the better,
Cassandra roamed her eyes around the Departure Area inside the airport. She's finally home after two years of studying in London, and she feels really good to be back home. "Cassandra, over here!"Cassandra's smile almost reached her ears when she saw her future husband waving at her. She quickly walked towards to her direction, while pushing the baggage cart.Tyler gave her a bouquet of pink flowers, and after that, they shared a quick, loving kiss."Welcome back home, my love. I know you're already hungry and tired, so let's eat lunch first before I drive you back to your apartment, okay?" he suggested."Okay, that sounds good." Cassandra agreed.After a few minutes, they were already making their way to the parking lot when Tyler's mobile phone suddenly rang."Oh, let me just answer this call, love." said Tyler."Okay."Tyler went back to Cassandra as soon as he finished the call."Let's go, my love, so that you can take a rest after that long flight.""Thanks, love." answered Cas
