Questions of something that has yet to happen kept running on my mind until I went back to my office.My secretary who's five years older greeted me when I came with a very cheery smile, as if the day’s work didn’t exhaust her.She stalked me as I stride towards my table that is facing backward to the glass ceiling-to-floor window that has the same width as the wall of the office.The whole wall is made with a thick glass, in which would sparkle at night as the mesmerizing city lights reflect upon it, and most of all, it shines as the beauty of the Eiffel tower would greet me after a day’s hardwork."How was the visit in the hospital, Ma'am?"A girl, shorter than me by a bit of inches stood in front of my desk, full of confidence and simplicity. Her smile was that of a mother’s, calm and comforting, just like how she can constantly make me feel as she does her duties more than as what is expected fr

"You took a blood test without even checking if the patient has already eaten or not?! Even your juniors know that!" A hushed shriek of anger made me stop on my tracks as I looked at the direction to where the voice is coming from.The place seemed quiet and calm, as if everything is handled calmly and very professionally but events like this always welcome me. It was as if I am a magnet being pulled towards the bad energy. "I’m sorry, Doc. I forgot." Another voice said, more hushed than the first one.I looked at the corridor near the fire exit, thinking that’s where the voices were coming from and I wasn’t wrong.I stared at the two ladies, the taller one had her brown hair tied in a clean ponytail, making her look clean and professional but with the minimal strands falling on her temples made her look more of a busy working woman. She had her doctor’s robe on making her look more intimidating than the o

“Elijiah.” Bach.“Elijiah Kris”, I said instead.Her lips immediately curled up, “Cool”.She turned to me with still the same smile that may could have light up others’ day but could just annoy mine a little, when the elevator stopped in the 19th floor.“I gotta go. It was nice meeting you.”I just nodded in response but she stayed outside the elevator with her lips curling up until it reached her eyes while waving at me until the elevator door closed.I brewed coffee while frying sliced beef loaf with egg for breakfast. I don’t know where I got this recipe but surely, this isn’t one of the common dishes I ate. There were just days when I was still in France when I crave for this along with other dishes that are usually not suitable for my palate.A life like every day could have been so nice. Starting the day with a morning jog, then eating simple breakfast tha

I never really liked the public. I didn’t like socializing nor being the face of every tabloid and magazines. I didn’t like being the center of their crazy antics, just full of plasticity and fake relationships.I don’t think I have photos circulating around the internet. Some even think that the Bach heir is a man. Only a few knows about my identity and I think that’s better. But things will change soon.“We’re all busy arranging for the party. The president wants it to be the party of the century since the heir is finally back here.”I almost shook my head. My Lolo can be a drama queen sometimes. The party isn’t really needed but he wants it to be highly publicized since it will be my inauguration soon.Just think of it as my debut in the world of media. And also, I come here in the Philippines for business meetings or conventions. Lolo is just too dramatic.“Of course everyone will talk about

My blood rushed to my face as soon I saw his cocky smile. Did he know? The hell, he didn’t!I squinted my eyes and let my forehead creased although I’m not really quite sure if he can see my expression because of the mask but at least, I gave effort in acting like normal!He gently tugged my hand and placed it on his right hand as his left hand gently held on my left elbow as he assisted me walking down the grand staircase.Those hazel eyes made me forget where I was and what I was doing. I didn’t want to give a damn with this party and just want to stare at his hazel eyes all night. And fuck myself for being like that! Ew, Elijiah, how could you be so low?When I started walking down, his left hand caresses my elbow gently as it moved towards my bare back. I almost froze when I felt his large, warm and calloused hand touching my cold bare back but good thing, I still managed to remain calm.
