Three months later;
"It's you again?" The guy in the resort when I approached him at his table. "Are you following me? Or perhaps, are you a stalker?" I winced at him.
Do I look like a stalker? "Sir, I'm not following you, okay? I'm working here because I was fired from my previous job." His jaw tightened at what I said, really.
I have a new job in a restaurant as a waitress, and I am so lucky. I saw this person again. Amazing, isn't it? I was the only one serving his food. And I didn't expect that we would meet again.
"Where's your Manager?" This is him again, I am not doing anything then he will send me away again. So arrogant!
"Sir, I am just serving food here and I didn't touch you. I haven't had a job for a few months because of what you did."
"Did I? Excuse me? Maybe I could—"
"Enjoy the food, Sir. Have a nice day!" I smiled at him and turned my back, lest he even shouts that I undressed him. You thought his body was really good— okay fine, he's hot.
"You know him?" My colleague asked me, I just shook my head and turned my gaze to Judiel who looked upset while chewing the food. Does he have a problem?
My shift ended quickly so I left immediately to rest. How many years have I been doing this? What changes lives? I just gasped as I stared at the dark sky. If they were alive, I wouldn't do it, it's like being homeless. But I needed and wanted it.
"Hey!" I jumped when I heard the car horn, have I been staring at the above for too long? "You're blocking my way!" I looked at who shouted and I saw him.
I looked at the wide road and I could clearly see that there was still a large space he could pass through and that he would actually pass through me, was he crazy? Will he kill me?
"I said, you are blocking my way! Stupid." The what? Stupid?
"Hey Mr!" I walked towards him and hit the car, he was surprised by what I did. He deserves it! He came down and approached me as if I was constantly looking at something very tall. Okay, he's tall.
"There's a huge space in the road, you better occupy them! I passed what you did at the resort. I lost my job for a few months because I'm not rich like you, it's hard to find a job and now? Are you the one making trouble again? "
"You're talking too much. Just so you know, what you're standing on is my spot for my car. Don't be so stupid and please don't show up to me anymore."
I was about to speak when he suddenly turned his back on me, alas! I closed my eyes tightly and just felt the cold air because my head was heating up with him. I heaved a sigh and continued walking. I stayed here a bit far and I know I will be in this place for a long time. Far from Manila.
As I was walking, I stopped when my cell phone rang. I answered the call from Ales, "Why?" I asked.
"When are you coming back?" she asked, I told him for a long time.
"Why? Did something happen?"
"Nothing, I just want to say hello to you. Are you okay with that?" I smiled at what she said. There was a trace of worry in her voice. She is the niece of Atty. Chu so I also reconciled with him and became my Secretary.
"I'm fine, Ales. Don't worry, I'm fine. And thank you because you agreed to introduce yourself as the owner of the company first. You really have a bonus for me ..." I said with a smile. It took my breath away and calmed me down.
"You know we can't be like this forever, Lucille. You need to reveal yourself sooner or later."
"Yes but that's still a long way off." I stopped. It's too far for everyone to know who I am. "Alright, it's late. I need to go—" I stopped when I felt someone beside me.
"Lucille?" I even heard Ales ’voice on the other line but I couldn’t speak when the two men approached me looking bad at me. "Hey, Lucille—" The man holding my cell phone grabbed it and put it in his pocket.
What is this? "Give us everything you have."
"W-wait, brothers, I don't have any money." I winced as one pressed his hand to my side. My God, I can't die.
Trembling, I picked up the bag I was carrying and gently handed it to them. "Brother, it's really empty." I couldn't stop crying. This is my first time encountering this kind of shit.
"Shut up! Maybe someone will hear—"
"Someone really heard." The three of us stopped because of the voice that spoke, that voice was familiar to me.
I stopped when I saw the person I didn’t expect to see today. Is this true? How did he see me?
"Oh, there's a rich superhero. Hey you, give us the watch and ring you're wearing as well." Just as a man approached him when he immediately punched him, I backed away when the man flew close to me.
One of them rushed in and up to two of them were fighting with him but I was amazed when he was not hit by even one blow from the two men. Gosh, I was just gaping as I stared at the man who saved me.
"Run your lives, now!" I was shocked to see the two men running away as they shouted in anger.
I was still gaping at him, he took my bag off the ground and approached me. I'm backing away from fear, wait. Why am I afraid of him?
"Stupid, why are you walking alone road?" Unable to speak, I looked at the bag he handed me and immediately took it. "You're shaking. Are you okay?"
I backed away again when he was about to touch me, I couldn't understand why I was trembling in front of this man. Or I was just scared because of what happened to me earlier.
I looked at him and bowed, "S-sir. Yes, I'm fine. Thank you. I'm leaving ..." I was about to run away when he said a word that made me stop.
"I'm Judiel Marco Sanrazo, I'll drive you home."
"Sir, it's not necessary. Thank you very much.""Do you want what happened earlier will happen to you again? All right, I'll go now—""Wait ..." I immediately grabbed his hand when it was time to turn around. He was looking at my face and I felt very embarrassed when he looked down at my hand. It was only then that I realized, I was holding his hand, I immediately let go and backed away slightly. "I'm sorry, uhm it's embarrassing but can I accept your offer?" I asked shyly.I heard him say 'tss' . I bit my lower lip hoping that he would say yes. After all, he offered first. "Hurry up..."I smiled broadly as I got into his car, "Uh-uhm just go straight in the road," I said shyly. He also did not speak and started driving.My house is still far from here. I thought there was a bus passing by earlier. I forgot that on Friday night, no buses are stopping. I sighed weakly and slyly looked at him. I could clearly see how his hand was rooted as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, he bit h
"D-this is where I'll sleep?" he asked while looking at my small room."Yes Sir, I can only sleep in the living room.""No, you sleep here. I'm in the living room." I frowned at him. My living room is even smaller than my bedroom."You can't fit in the living room and your back will hurt when you lie on the floor." There was still a trace of doubt on its face."Your bed is too small for me, I can't even sleep in it." You are as big as a human being."Sir, that's okay. Sleep well, good night!"I was about to come out when he stopped me, "I can't," he said while shaking his head. I just gasped."Sir, tomorrow you'll go home and go back to the soft and big bed. It's also your fault why your car broke down because I told you not to follow here. And now, you're overreacting. "Wait wait. Are you complaining?" My eyes widened and I covered my mouth."N-no Sir, I'm sorry. I was just taken away, I'm already sleepy." I slowly smiled at him."Okay fine, I'll sleep now." He sat on my little bed,
I stared at the two of them, unsure of how to react because they were there to help me. I don't require that because I am capable of dealing with them."You know what? It's time for you to return to Manila. Alessandra, you have the company, and Attorney, you have your job. What if something bad happens if neither of us is not there?" I frowned as Ales shook his head at what I stated. What does she mean about shaking her head?"The company is doing well, Lucille, and they will not make a fool of you." They're afraid." Still, I'm not at ease."Lucille..." When the restaurant manager called me, I turned to face him and he told me to go to the kitchen."Wow, the boss is a slave now." When Alessandra said that, I rolled my eyes at her."I'm going to leave; we'll discuss after my shift." I turned away from them.They'll have a shout from me later, and they didn't even notify me that they were coming here. I was shocked, not disappointed, but they were my friends, and I trusted them. I'll le
We went to the office the next morning. Alessandra has now been with me in my house as I told her that she needs to be with me. But I needed to be cautious because she knew some of my ideas but not all of them. No matter what happens, I don't want them to get involved.Lucille Damian is my official name in the company. Some people look up to me and fear me. For a few months, I learnt how to be Lucille Damian, and for a few years, I was Lucille Santos. Since the attorney has entered my life, she has shown me who and what I truly am. I am Damian's heir, but no one knows I'm still alive. After all, the public knows me as Lucille, the faceless woman. All of my staff were forbidden from exposing what they believed I looked like as Lucille Damian. They had no right to harm me."Now that everything is in order, you can return as Lucille Santos." Alessandra came into my office and informed me of the situation. I got out of my swivel chair and walked over to my small cabinet. I took a folder f
I was shocked when Lucky walked in front of Judeil as we all got out of the car, together with Judiel. He had taken a position in front of it. Although they are both about the same height, Judiel's height is more prominent. I pulled my brother away, but he ignored me and it made me annoyed."Lucky…" I dragged him away, but they both continued to stare at each other. "Hey, what's the matter?" I said to my brother in hushed tones.When I have a man with me and introduce him to them, he intrigues them, and people who used to want to court me back away because my brother always like this, he scared those men."I won’t believe he's not flirting with you, and then his face is suspicious. Avoid him," he warned, like if he were my father.Because of my brother's posture, I fell flat on my face and shook. I turned to Mom, who also shrugged and responded to me. "That's your brother," she said.I would not want to include my brother because he is also very protected. I pulled Lucky back to Mom a
Because of Lucky’s noise, I awoke early the next day. He appears to have gone about the homemaking noise. I just woke up and went through my morning ritual; I’m not going to the office today and will only meet the few folks that I ordered to Ales.When I got down, I was surprised to see a few cleaning helpers dancing while cleaning, and it filled the entire house with loud music. “What is going on?” When I approached Mom while she was making food, I asked her.“As soon as your brother awoke, he became bored, so he played and even sympathized with the other helpers.” She said this while laughing. My brother’s insanity had just shocked me.Early in the morning, I turned to the woman who looked unhappy. “What’s going on with you?” I asked Alessandra. She continued to frown as she glanced at me.“Do you really have a sibling that is like that? I don’t think he realized anyone was still sleeping when he made a noise in the morning.” I laughed at her complaint, and Lucky came running up to
Ales and I had finished a week of preparation and today was the day I was going to see Judie. He texted me the address, and I did not bother to respond to his text messages, so he called me that night, nagging about why I didn’t text back. I just told him I am busy, but I received his text and will go there today. Furious because I just didn’t really reply.When I got to the front of the enormous building, I adjusted my clothes. I took a deep breath and entered. I approached the information desk. “Good day, I have an appointment with Mr. Judiel Marco Sanrazo,” I said and smiled at him.He looked at me from head to toe, as if recognizing me. “You must be Lucille Santos he mentioned?” he asked, and I nodded with a smile. “This way, Ma’am.” He pointed the right way toward the elevator.“Thank you, I can do this.” I refused him because I thought he was going to take me to Judiel’s office. He nodded and bid a goodbye.I’m the only one in the elevator, even though the elevator is big. I won
After he adjusted my clothes, I also sat up and kept quiet. So is he. To this day, I still haven’t lost the nervousness in my chest and other feelings in myself. Why is that?“In any minute, we will be there,” he said. I just nodded to him.I remembered that I didn’t have anything with me except my cellphone. “I’ll just send you to the staff there to buy your clothes. We will get back to the Philippines after two days,” he continued. So I immediately turned to him.“Two days? Can I call my family because they might wonder why I didn’t come home today?” I asked. He looked at me with a severe face.“Of course, you can call them. Do you want me to be the one who will talk to your family?” I immediately shook twice. Of course not! Maybe Lucky can answer, and what else will he think?“I can handle it, Sir. It seems like you are kidnapping me, but of course, this is part of my job as your secretary.” I smiled at him at that.“For the record, Ms. Santos. I didn’t kidnap you, okay?” he said.
