"Brandon Rhey, are you listening to me? " I glanced as she started raising her voice. I straightened my back and leaned it against my chair and loosen my tie. She glared at me, and I don't care; she makes this scenario every day, and I act like a deaf person sometimes. She had a stentorian voice, and that's a fact! It's pretty annoying. " What is it again? "I asked while rubbing my eyes. She looked at me open-mouthed and unbelievably "Don't play with me, Brandon!" She said, and stood up from sitting at the sofa "If you can't do it right away, I will dethrone you as our family heritor." She dropped a bombshell and made me nearly fall from my seat. "Seriously?" I responded, and I still can't get over the words dethroned, as I knew I worked really hard for this company. She can't even do that! "Don't make things harder, Brandon Rhey; you have 1 week to go and present us your girlfriend. And that's an order from your grandfather," she said with a wrathful look. "Are you really that

Helsey's Pov.After a few days in Palawan, we returned to Manila, but since then, Brandon has changed. He changed, and I felt that."Can we talk?" I asked him while we headed back to my home.Seconds after he responded, "Sure,""Are you mad at me?" He took a glance at me and looked back to the street as he drove."Why would I?" He asked back without even looking at me.I sighed in response.He snapped my left hand from my lap as he reached out of it. He clasped it while his left hand was on the steering wheel of the car.He kissed my hand. "Please don't ever leave me," he said, while he put our hands in his lap.I astonishingly look at him. "Of course I'm not. Why did you think that?" He didn't respond to me, but still he was holding my hand.He let go of my hand as we entered the street through my house.As we got right in front of my house, I was about to unbuckle my seatbelt as he held my head and kissed me on the lips. I was in shock. I didn't move, as I felt very weird toward him

Helsey Pov I was already at the coffee shop, sitting in the corner, where I was going to meet Brandon's mother. My hands trembling, I rubbed it while his mother still hadn't yet arrived; I didn't want to look like a tremulous person in front of her. While I was nervously watching some people who were entering the coffee shop, I kept calming myself. "There you are..." A nifty voice tinkled as I raised my head, seeing her how gorgeous she is; she was more like her daughter, Bianey. I just realized it. Maybe because our last encounter with her was mad, that's why she looks like an evil mother. "So..." She paused and pulled the chair to seat; she sat in front of me. "Good spot," she added and smiled. "What do you want from me?" I asked. "You're in hustled?" "No, but I have something more important to do than waste my time arguing with you," I said, and she chuckled. "Ha-ha-ha, you're funny. Why does my son pick...?" "That's all you wanted? To insult me? Then I should go—" She hel

Helsey's Pov"Your espresso, sir," I said, placing the coffee on his table."Thank you," he said. I smiled and walked away.I'm glad that I have been inducted into this job. It doesn't have much salary as my daily needs expenses, but I will have to tuck as much as I can.I walked back to the counter, and I felt dizzy again. These days, I feel my health is getting serious. I haven't been able to see a doctor since I don't want to squander my time. It means a lot to me for working here in full time.I held my head as I felt I was going to collapse, my maws making me puke."Hold this." I thrust the tray I was holding at my co-worker."Are you okay?" She asked.I didn't respond, and I ran through the bathroom.I haven't yet eaten my breakfast since I'm having trouble eating my food. My stomach seems to hate it.I puke at the bowl, and my strength is getting softened. My hand held each side of the bowl while the faucet was turning on; it hurt my jaw puking straight.I heard multiple knocks
