-=Atilla's Point of View=-I decided not to go to work the following day, because, honestly, my mind is in a whirlwind about what I learned about Ang.I still can't believe that the person who helped me could do something so shady just to earn money."Are you sure you're not going to work yet? Ang will surely wonder if you don't show up," Nicole asked, already dressed for work while I remained in bed, still keeping her in the dark about what I learned about Ang. I didn't want to ruin his image in my best friend's eyes."I'm quite sure, Nicole. Sorry, I don't think I can face Ang in this situation. Please tell him that I'm not home because of an emergency if he asks," I pleaded, and after that, she bid me goodbye.I was left alone in my unit, unable to understand the reality that someone like Ang would accept a bribe for a large project from a firm, despite the fact that it would not benefit the company due to the second-rate materials supplied by Raymundo Mendez's company."Why Ang, o

-=Atilla's Point of View=-Yes, I know that, but we already made our decision... are you saying that I'm a liar? Excuse me, but we just weighed our options, and it's just too bad that we found a better deal, so if you'll excuse me, I have a lot more things that I need to do. Good day to you."I didn't wait for him to respond and ended the call. I had a lot of things to do that day and no time to listen to someone complain."Sour loser much?" I heard Vanessa say this as she entered my office.Ever since I started working at Henry's company, Vanessa has become one of my closest friends. After our fake mission with Nicole, my best friend had returned to the Philippines.Fortunately, I became close to Vanessa, who taught me and Nicole everything when we first joined the company."You got it right, Vanessa; I can't believe that they are taking it too personally; I mean, it's just business," I said, closing my eyes briefly to calm myself."No one can deny that you did a great job after you

-=Ram's Point of View=-I was just silently staring at the woman I've been yearning for for years, the person I love and who I hurt so much because of my darned pride. If only I had just accepted her apology, she might not have left or disappeared from my life.My heart wants to run and hold her in my arms, never letting her go, but every time I look at her face, something stops me from doing what my heart wants.She still looks like the girl I met two years ago, but as I keep looking at her, I can tell that something has changed about her. The way she moves, the way she carries herself, it's full of confidence, unlike the old Atilla, who was shy and timid. The Atilla in front of me is very different from the young girl I love, but still, my heart pounds while looking at her."Hi Ram, long time no see," she greets me with a smile as if she's just greeting an old friend she hasn't seen in a while, instead of the person she loved so much. Aside from her appearance, her way of speaking h

-=Ram's Point of View=-It hurts me more when I see the pain and worry on the face of the person I love the most. I want to hug her to make her feel that she is not alone. I want to tell her that everything will be fine, that Henry will survive, and that I'm here for her because I love her so much. But I stopped myself because I knew it wasn't the right time.We need to talk so that everything is clear to us. Two years have passed and a lot has changed, but she's still the girl I knew and loved."Atilla..." I just heard it come out of my mouth; honestly, I wanted to tell her a lot of things, but as much as I wanted to speak, I didn't know where or how to start.Suddenly, I remembered what Ellaine told me: that if I really love Atilla, I shouldn't bother her anymore. But no matter how hard I think about it, my mind and heart can't accept her advice."Well, it seems that the two of us will manage Henry's businesses, so I hope we can work together," she said with a smile, followed by rea

-=Ram's Point of View=-Who would have thought that the great and mighty Ram Santiago would be this pathetic? If I saw myself like this during the time when I didn't know Atilla, I would definitely be angry with myself for being a martyr, but maybe this is what happens when you love someone so much that even if you're hurt, you still want to be with them—someone who is near but feels so far away because you know that they are no longer within your reach."Ram, are you okay?" I was surprised to hear Atilla call my name, I just remembered that I was in a meeting with some of Henry's company staff, aside from Atilla."I'm sorry, I didn't hear the question?" I calmly asked while looking at Atilla's beautiful face.We've been managing her brother's business for a few days now while Henry is in the United States for his operation.I can say that Atilla is completely different now than she was in the past few days, the way she handles herself in front of other people and the way she deals wi
