SEAN'S POV"Phillip, please include Mr. Eric Martela and Dr. Red in the invitation to the launching of Laminae, Inc. But before that, give me details of his business ventures, personal background, and the status of his relationship with Dr. Red."I placed back the phone into my sling bag as my thoughts wandered to the woman who helped Eric Martela forget the heartaches Calla caused him. Dr. Red must have possessed better qualities than Calla because he stayed with her for five years already. What I wanted to know if, until now, his heart still belonged to Calla. He funded her education, and now, she's a few months closer to become a full-fledged physician.My heart ached at the thought of this. I was already too late. I had failed the one who gave his full trust in me. The woman whom he wanted for me couldn't be my wife anymore. Mr. Eric Martela already owned her. I was supposedly ready to fake an emotion until I would make it, but I wa

SEAN'S POV I looked at Dr. Red's photos as my driver brought me to the hospital where she worked. Finally, I would be meeting the daughter of Mr. Albert Grey. Calla was a mistake, but she had stubbornly occupied a part in my heart. I did not meet Dr. Red right away because I hoped that time would help me take off Calla from my mind. I have promised Sir Thomas to win her heart if possible, but meeting Calla first defeated our plan.I got off of the car the moment my driver pulled over the parking lot. I couldn't wait to see Dr. Red, partly because I wanted to know my reaction when I finally saw her in person. I hoped that her presence would also bring me a spell, a more effective spell than what Calla was using. Of course, this was only my presumption, but what would I think after being told that Calla could win any man's heart if he looks into her eyes?When I glimpsed a shadow by the window of the isolation room, my heart

RED'S POV I asked Sean for one more round around the park. His revelation about Calla was suffocating me. I felt so silly for misinterpreting his kindness towards me. Perhaps, if only he had romantic intentions for me, I would supposedly move on faster from my breakup with Eric. Yet, this man was only seeking friendship or companionship, and probably, someone to talk to. But why me? Why not those elegant women around his business circle?"Sean, I'm really wondering why you are good to me.  And why do you offer me the slot in your company?""Let's say it's like at first sight." Sean smiled and tilted his head to look at me. He was much taller than me, so I had to raise my head to see his face.I melted again in those eyes, so I looked away and shifted my gaze on the path ahead of us. "Red, would you mind if I make a request?"I stopped walking and looked up. "What kind of request?""Friendship requ

RED'S POV Sean's expression dropped when I asked for Sir Albert's photo. I wondered where I had gone wrong or what's with the question that made him react like that. However, he was quick to revert to his usual, smiling demeanor."I have it at home. Don't worry; I'll bring you home when you're ready."I sat upright, gaping at what he said. I could not understand why he seemed so serious in his treatment of me. Our relationship had just begun, and it would yet start at a working phase."Sean, why do you seem to take this seriously?" I asked the attitude he showed me was too good to be true. I could still count the days we were together by my fingers, and those meetings were all non-significant to build up a strong bond between us at such an early stage."So, it means you are not serious in accepting my proposal?" Throwing back a question as an answer may have silenced me, but it did not wipe off all those unan

RED'S POV "Why are you here?" I ignored Eric's question as I stopped in front of him."Answer my question first," he may not be yelling at me, but I could hear the gritting sound of his molars. His eyes also seemed to jump out of their sockets as he glared at me."You may think what you like, Eric; it's fine with me." I threw him a cold and fearless look, igniting more fire within him."I saw you kissing Mr. Grey. What else could that mean?""I do not deny it," I replied, giving him a bored look. I saw the surprise in Eric's expression. Never did he expect, probably, that a day would ever come that I would dare to stand and defy him."Did you leave me because of him? You have such wonderful taste. Why, Red? Had I not given you enough? Had I not granted your material wants?"I scanned the surroundings to see if there were onlookers around. I didn't want to start a scene. I knew sooner he would be
