40- "Business trip."
In the end, everybody chose peace and it was the two witches that adjusted to the situation they first created. Venice and Priscilla volunteered to be the ones to get out of the restaurant and just find a new one while Chantal and I stayed and ordered our food to eat. "Thank you for being there and for siding with me, Chantal. If it weren't because of you, perhaps we were still talking about their absurd, false, and irrational attacks even up to this moment," I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. She smiled her kindest. "It's alright. I just couldn't really stand it when women were harassed and publicly shamed by other women. How I hate that!" "And that's why your calling has always been to protect women. You are a hundred percent destined to be a lawyer which you are doing now. It totally suits you and you are extremely perfect for your chosen profession." "Oh, that's too much of a compliment, but thank you, Tami. So sweet of you!” I smiled. Our food had been finally served

43- "Pull me closer."
Sometimes it's no wonder why despite our differences, we still clicked to be the best of friends, Celyn and Yasmine always tend to matchmake me, especially with my best friend—Chris!I smiled and shook my head lazily. "Crazy accusation! That's so false, Mrs. Hidalgo!""I wish you were right, Lyn, but definitely, you weren't." Chris followed. "It's the both of you the reason why we came here to wave her goodbye and she has to leave already. Tamara has an important thing to attend to."Both Celyn and Johann looked at me."Can't say what it is all about but it's urgent... and I can't not go. Please, Lyn and Johann. I hope you understand.""Is that really so important?" Celyn asked in a nice but sad way.I nodded. "Yes, Lyn. I'm really sorry. I'll just come back next time, okay?"Celyn huffed before nodding understandably. "Alright then. There's still next time, especially at Chabtal and Ethan's wedding."I smiled peacefully and held my friend's hands. "Thank you very much, Lyn.""How's t

44- "Getting back..."
It was awkward because we were traveling together, facing each other, but nobody was talking, and silence completely filled the atmosphere. "I'm so sorry, General Manager," I spoke first, and I meant that. He only crossed his arms and remained silent. "We missed our supposed scheduled flight and this was, I think, the reason why you had to resort to paying for a private flight like this which I am so sure many times costs higher than the commercial one. It was my fault. If it weren't because of me, you wouldn't need to be spending much for air travel." He looked at me expressionlessly. "It's alright. Don't mind it." I just sighed. He didn't seem to take this as a really big deal because maybe paying for expensive things wasn't a big deal for him at all most of the time. "Just do your work properly as my secretary and don't cause any pain in my a$$ when we get there, you got it?" I grinned softly and nodded. "Noted, Sir. No worries." He nodded and looked away. I remembered aski

46- "Hot kisses..."
"Tamara? Are you ready?"I trembled a bit as I heard Fabio knocking on my room’s door. I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was past six in the evening. I hurriedly put on my silver earrings and checked myself in the full-length mirror for the last time before going out.What I was wearing was a black halter bodycon dress. I paired it with white stilettos and a white purse.It was a great thing I brought with me a nice dress made by the brand of our very own Davis Elegance. But I was a bit nervous to face Fabio because I didn’t know if he’d like it or what. I was feeling a little pressured.He came on knocking once again. “Hey, Tamara, are you there inside? Are you alright? I couldn’t hear your voice, sweetheart.”I sighed and tried my very best to get myself together. “Yes, General Manager. Almost done. I'm going out now.”Needed to cover up the pressure with poise and confidence, so that I would stand out and wouldn’t be obvious that I was actually nervous about going out with

47- "Someone I knew!"
Fabio and I were both catching our breaths as he gently pushed me to break the kiss.“We’re here…” he said in a very low deep voice.I glanced at the window and saw that he was indeed right. We were already in front of a restaurant and I couldn’t believe I wasn’t aware the vehicle had already come to halt, and that just simply meant I was too invested in the emotion and fire I thought were about to ignite that I was so distracted and I didn’t notice we already arrived at our destination!My eyes shifted to Fabio once again and his face was serious, dark, and he wasn’t looking at me. His gazes were focused somewhere else and not on me. I felt a bit embarrassed and disappointed. Did he just regret that we actually kissed? Did he not enjoy it the way I did? D*mn it! I quietly shook my head to myself and stopped getting so overly dramatic. Alright. He kissed me, I kissed him back. I did enjoy it and I didn’t know if he felt the same because I really couldn’t read his mind, but whether he

48- "Walter and Wendy..."
"Walter?" I decided to finally call the person by his name.And that was enough to get his attention as well as the attention of the woman with him. Their gazes both turned to me.Walter was surprised as he eventually came to recognize me.“Tamara?” he uttered in a tone he couldn’t almost believe he would see me here.I smiled and nodded. Yeah, he was really my friend—Walter Mendoza.He walked to me and the quiet woman behind him followed while not breaking eyes on me.“Tamara, it’s really you!” He chuckled when he was in front of me and held me on my shoulders having a closer look and making sure he was seeing me before his eyes. “Hey, what’s up? How are you doing, man?” He hugged me in his usual friendly manner.I chuckled, too, and responded to his friendly gesture. “I’m alright, man! How are you doing, too?”When we separated from that quick hug, he cockily shrugged his arm.“Fine, as usual. Anyway, what are you doing here in Hong Kong, huh? I thought you were in the Philippines?”

49- "Cold."
“Time for us to leave, hun. The car’s waiting,” Fabio almost whispered to my ear, but it wasn’t totally a whisper because I was not the only one to hear it. Surely, Walter and Wendy heard that, too.I suddenly felt my cheeks burn because of how close he was to me, and he wasn’t even hesitating being this close to me in front of other people!I chose to get myself together, though, and turned to my friends to wave goodbye. “We gotta go now, Walter, Wendy? Have a great day. Anyway, it was nice seeing you again, and Wendy, it was nice meeting you.”Walter nodded understandingly and smiled, while Wendy smiled a little, too.“Same,” she simply responded.“I hope we can meet some other time again and we’ll have a chance to talk longer. Goodbye, Tami. Take care,” Walter said.“We definitely will,” I promised. “Take care, too.”On the next day, I did nothing inside my suite but the same thing—stay inside and get bored. I have nothing to do and no one to go outside with...I thought about Fabi
