Lahat ng Kabanata ng Another Love Awaits: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Zack parked his car outside Celine's house. After neatly parking the vehicle, the 27-year-old man followed Celine as she walked home. Celine's house was next to a grocery store, which, according to Celine, belonged to her mother.“Mom!” Celine greeted after she was in the living room.There was no response, but Celine persisted."Please have a seat here. I'll go find my mom," Celine invited Zack to sit.Zack only said a little; he followed Celine's instructions.Celine then walked towards the kitchen to search for her mother but couldn't find her. She heard the sound of water from the direction of the bathroom and smiled. No wonder her greetings had yet to be answered; her mother was showering.Knowing her mother was still in the shower, Celine returned to Zack, still sitting in the living room looking nervous."What's wrong? Why do you seem tense?" Celine asked."N-nothing... I-I'm fine. Where's your mom?" Zack inquired."It seems like my mom is still in the shower.""And your dad?"

A slim and short-haired woman approached Zack and Celine while the couple was enjoying their food and the songs performed by a band at the café. The woman looked beautiful with her fair skin and curly short hair, resembling a Korean woman."Are you Zack?" the woman asked."Yes. And you...?""Hey, how could you forget? I'm Monica.""Monica? Oh, hi, how are you?" Zack stood up immediately and shook Monica's hand."I'm good. Is she your wife?" Monica pointed at Celine."She's my future wife.""Hi," greeted Monica, extending her hand to Celine.With a forced smile, Celine accepted Monica's handshake, standing up to greet her."Why are you in here?" Zack inquired."I live here now. My husband works in this city. Anyway, I'll have my meal first. My husband and kids are over there.""Sure," Zack replied.After bidding farewell, Zack noticed a change in his girlfriend's expression. Celine looked unfriendly – her mouth was pouting, and her eyebrows were furrowed."Why the long face?" Zack aske

It was already noon. Celine's stomach began to growl, but she was still afraid to talk to Zack.Zack smiled as he observed his girlfriend. He knew Celine was hungry, but he was reluctant to ask about her preferences, fearing it might end up annoying like the previous night. Eventually, he took Celine to a food stall on the Street.After parking the car, Zack gestured for Celine to enter. They chose a sitting mat to enjoy the spicy dishes they had ordered."Is it good?" Zack asked."Delicious," Celine replied, chewing her food eagerly.Zack was pleased to see his girlfriend eating so heartily. He even added some sautéed water spinach to Celine's plate."Eat more, Darling. Stay healthy.""I've eaten a lot. I'm full already. If I eat too much, I might get fat.""It's okay if you get a little chubby; you'll still be beautiful.""Flattery."They laughed. Such cheesy humor only brought them closer."Are you ready to meet Mom and Dad?" Zack asked."I'm not ready. But whether I like it or not

"Damn Celine! She's getting more arrogant. Taking leave whenever she wants. Others are struggling." Emma muttered to herself repeatedly.She had been envious of Celine's fast-rising career here from the beginning, even though Emma, with more experience and seniority, should have been more deserving.But it seemed like Celine's luck was better. Emma thought to herself angrily. She didn't care. She had to sabotage Celine's plan to become a supervisor. It wasn't even confirmed yet, and she dared to take leave, two days nonetheless. No one else was allowed to do that easily.Eventually, Emma's envy-filled mind pondered on ways to obstruct Celine's work. Something that would make her look bad in the eyes of the department head, Mrs. Jane, and the Head Supervisor, Miss. Tiffany.Even though Celine was genuinely liked by her superiors due to her hard work and intelligence, Emma decided she needed to do something to tarnish her image. Celine was the type who always planned meticulously in eve

Emma finally faced significant consequences for her actions. She attempted to frame Celine by cutting materials with scissors, making it look like Celine was responsible for defective materials entering the Line.And somehow, Miss Tiffany, initially furious about the material check, turned her anger towards Line and began to rage.Oh no! Her mischief was exposed. Even though Miss Tiffany didn't know the culprit was Emma, she was sure it was Line's fault. To make matters worse, Emma, responsible for adding materials, was in charge of the damaged material exchange.This is a case of the tables turning, she thought, regretting her actions. Her intention to defame Celine had backfired on her. This only fueled her envy and hatred towards Celine. How could that girl remain untouched? Everything she had done to bring down Celine had failed miserably.She contemplated adopting a new strategy. She wouldn't disturb the girl's work anymore. Now, she would interfere with another aspect of her lif
