Hi dear readers, hope you're enjoying the story so far. Should in case you find errors in this chapter or previous ones, pardon me, I will do better. I've been down lately, still recovering. Thanks.
ANDRES"You'll beg? And what do you think that you begging is going to solve? You've insulted my girlfriend publicly and even told her that you're going to kick her out of this place just to please some body else. If this gets out, people are just going to look down on me. Do you think that I, Andres Blackwood can stand to be looked down on by others?" I asked her. I was doing this as a statement, letting everyone know that I care about Carmen a lot. This will make our relationship a lot more real. There was also another reason.... however, I don't want to think about that for now. "I am so sorry....I had no idea who she is....I am really sorry....I know I have a bad attitude but I am going to fix it. I will be nice to every customer from now on. I won't ignore anyone who comes here so please just forgive me this one last time " she continued to beg me. But I did not feel sorry for her. I know for a fact she won't have said all of these things if she wasn't in trouble right now. T
CARMEN"None of them are good people anyway so you should not feel guilty about getting a bit of benefits from them. It's not as if they are saints " Chloe told me. "I know that she's just saying this because she wants to look out for me but I really don't know if I'd be able to take advantage of someone the way she said. I think that I just don't have it in me to do something like that. "What did you say you were doing in that boutique anyway. I know that place and the way they treated you isn't really suspicious at all. All of them have always been like that. They look down on customers who they think is not up to their standards and they think they can get away with it. I think they target the very rich in the society so they don't have to be polite to people whom they consider poor" Chloe said. I bit my lips. "He bought me some clothes. He said that he didn't want be embarrasing him if we had to appear out together. Take a look at today. I was humiliated and it reflected on him
ANDRES"So are you satisfied now? The social media is in uproar because of you and everyone is calling Carmen a Cinderella. Is this the effect that you wanted?" Derek asked me .I nodded my head. This is what I want. It's going to seem suspicious if I just get married to her without any news at all. I need to build up a romance with her. "Yes. This is what I want. Just think about it. The council will be suspicious if I show up with a wife out of nowhere. They are not stupid. Someone will definitely point it out and they will find a way to kick me out of the competition. I can't let that happen. So this is the only thing that I can do. I have to let the public get to know her," I said to Derek. "That's actually quite smart..so what are you going to do from now on?" Derek asked me. "I am going to propose to her of course. Besides, my marriage with her is going to help the company with a lot of public relations. Although this is an old tale, many people actually do like the story of
ANDRES"A lot of women are in love with me. Should I love all of them just because they love me? If you're delusional, go and be delusional at your own home! Don't come crying to me!" I yelled at her. This is the reason why I chose Carmen to play my wife for one year. I know for a fact that she won't be kicking up a fuss and that she will never expect anything more from me. It is clear what I want from her and she won't go overboard and ask for more. But for women like Jenna and Nadia......they are all the same no matter who they are. Jenna is a celebrity and Nadia is a popular socialite. All of them want to be with me not because they care about me but because of the fame that they are going to get from it. I am already tired of this."Audre! How can you say this? You know that I am different from all of those other women. All those women just wanted to be with you because they want your money! I am not like that! I love you! I do love you! Don't compare me to them!" She said to m
CARMEN "Why do I have to find out that my daughter is dating from the internet?? You know, my neighbor, she's the one who brought my attention to it. She asked me why she has never seen my daughter's boyfriend in my place before and if my daughter is keeping it away from me. Do you know how embarrassing that was for me? She's always showing off with her kids. I don't expect you to do any of those things that their kids do. I know that you're already working hard enough Carmen. But don't you think that it's a good idea to tell your mother when you start dating?" Mom asked me. She had immediately launched into a deep lecture that was starting to grate on me again. "Mom, I am sorry that you don't know about him. But like I told you, the relationship is new. We just got to know each other. We were just sharing lunch and then the media took pictures of us. Anyway, he's a famous person on the internet and everything that he does is magnified, that's the reason," I told her. Mom glare
CARMEN"I said that you should stop it please Mom! I am not with him because of his money! What do you take me for?! I do love him and he loves me back!" I said to my mom. She snorted at this. "You may love him but I can assure you that he doesn't love you at all. You are just someone who's fun to play with for now. He'll dump you soon. And then your heart will be broken. Let's just hope that he doesn't leave you with a child that you'll be forced to raise all by yourself!" Mom said."Mom! Why are you being so mean anyway? Were you hurt by someone who has money?" I asked her. I have never heard anything about my father from my mother ever. One time, she just threw out that he died and I left it at that. I know that he isn't dead but I never asked because I didn't want to make things hard for her at all. It can't be that my father is...My mom let out derisive laughter. "Hurt?! You need to have expectations from a person for you to get hurt in the first place. I never expected anyt
ANDRES"Jenna and her manager are still not picking up? They think that they can get away from this easily?" I asked Derek.He shook his head. "I think they are ignoring me. They know what Jenna has done and now they are trying to avoid you. Hmph! Since they dared to do this then why are they running away?! They should deal with the consequences!" Derek said. "I told her that she can't touch, Carmen! I told her that she should not do anything to Carmen and she had the guts to use the internet to attack. Does she think I won't know what she did as long as she tells me that it's her fans and she's not the one who did it?" I asked Derek. I wasn't expecting an answer from him at all. I am just so angry that I need someone to vent my anger at. How dare she?! Who does she think she is?! "The public is against Carmen now. Everyone's telling her that she's a slut....I think this might affect the council. What if they remove you from the list because of this? You know they said someone can'
CARMEN "No! Why should I call him? What if he doesn't know about what's going on the internet and I am just disturbing him without any good reason at all? I don't want to call him!" I said. I felt like this wasn't a big deal at all and I should not be whining because of it. "You think that it's not a big deal?! You are getting so badly bullied and you're telling me that it's not a big deal? And for your information, there is no way that he doesn't know about this. Don't be so naive!" Chloe said to me. Just then, my phone rang. I saw that it was Andres calling me. I took the call. "Hello?" I said into the phone. "Let's have dinner together later Carmen," he told me. I was shocked when he said this. Why does he want to have dinner with me? But I thought that we agreed to stay out of each other's way until we have to meet to convince people that we are together. "Have dinner together? Why on earth will I want to have dinner with you? I thought that this was only fake and th
