“What do you think about an investment in Mr. Hampton’s new project?” Mr. Berkeley asked the group.“Seems like a lot of risk, honestly,” Mr. Landon replied, sneering as he continued. “What do the Hamptons know about pharmaceutical operations anyway? They’d be better off sticking to their restaurants and hotels.”The rest of the group laughed with him.Only Dalton didn't. He stepped out from the group of businessmen. They had been discussing about possible investments.He couldn’t concentrate on their conversation. Normally, he would have made proposals and counteroffers on the spot. But today, his mind was elsewhere.Mr. Yu threw yet another business party for the sole purpose of inviting Dalton. He and his wife had been worried that their niece, Michelle, had terribly upset the Guevarra couple.He passed by Mr. Yu’s group.“Such a stupid girl, that niece of ours is,” Mr. Yu was telling a guest. “Siding with that brat Khea. It was such a relief when Dalton accepted our invitation.”“

Anna and Rachel met up for yogurt that afternoon.They went to a dog park instead of staying at the yogurt shop. Anna brought Axel along with her. He was busy licking his pup cup.“Axel is really cute,” Rachel was saying. “I’m actually free for the next few days, so I decided to be a good friend and take Axel to his training lessons. That way, you could also have a bit of free time for yourself.”Anna looked at her. “Well, you see, I’m also free for the next few days. I can take Axel to his classes.”“That’s not the point,” Rachel replied hastily. “The point is I’m free and I’m offering.”Anna stared at her. “I thought you hated dogs?”“No, I don’t! I was just disappointed back then that it was a puppy, and not a baby. Which reminds me, are you pregnant?”“What? No.”“Then why do you stare at your yogurt like it had personally offended you and ancestors,” she demanded.“I just realized that I wasn’t really in the mood for yogurt,” Anna replied, a bit surprised that Rachel picked up on

Rachel walked towards the building. No way was she waiting for that guy to catch up to them.Unfortunately, Ivan ran fast. A few seconds later, he was standing in front of them.“Rachel,” he said, grabbing her shoulder when she turned to leave. “Listen to me.”“Touch me one more time and you’ll realize why people are afraid of dogs,” Rachel warned him.Ivan withdrew his hand. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I just need you to listen to me.”Rachel laughed mockingly. “You’re lucky I’m holding this dog, otherwise my handprint would now be visible on your face.”Ivan stared at her. Face set in an unimpressed expression. “Don’t play with me, Rachel.” He warned.Rachel stared unbelievingly at him. “Or what? You’ll run off to cheat again? You’ve got some nerves, boy. Let me remind you, you have no right whatsoever to come over here and demand things from me.”Ivan opened his mouth to talk, but Rachel continued.“Which, I’m guessing is the reason why you’re here. Tell me, what made you think I would

Shannon stood in the hallway with her mouth open. Her eyes kept darting to the elevator door that had closed five minutes ago.Oh, she thought. Oh, oh, oh. This is big. Real big. She had just witnessed Dalton and 𝘓𝘢𝘳𝘢 walk out of a cafe together and disappeared into the elevator together. Together. They're together! Mr. 'I am married, I have a wife' is having a late night rendezvous with a woman who is definitely not his wife. Shannon would recognize those red wavy curls everywhere. They had been her eyesore for four years. She had fantasized about ripping those strands one by one at least a hundred times now. Behind her, Shannon's friends caught up to her. "Shannon, we're sorry," there were fake tears on their eyes. "We should have been more sympathetic." "That's right. You've suffered so much. I'm sorry we're just terrible friends." "Dalton shouldn't have acted that way. You only wanted to talk to him. His behavior was uncalled for." They abruptly stopped when they r
