"Uhmm . . . I'll be having what you'll be having," Sisley said, shyness in her tone. She didn't know anything from the lists of dishes written on the menu. Like she was reading some kind of an ancient language long since forgotten.She then fidgeted on her seat, smile dropping as she ran her eyes on the price list. One simple dish was already equivalent to her one-month allowance!Nevertheless, she remained tight lip for the reason that she didn't want to ruin the mood. Didn't want to complain on just their first date.Shifting her eyes left and right, she fumbled her fingers on top of her lap, trying to hide her ignorance and agitation.Daniel found the whole thing cute and funny. He then ordered all the expensive dishes on the menu. When the waiter left, the silence between them turned awkward.It was not like this. He and her always have something to talk about.Something was different on this day.Sisley felt this day was special. There was something in the air around them. It was

Eric let out a sigh that he lost count on how many times now.He didn't know why Evangeline kept appearing in the restaurant where he works since the time that she knew he works there.Ever since that day with the handkerchief, the aloof woman was coming and having her lunch. Staying until dinner while specifically requesting him, and only him, to serve her.Even so, he never once dared think that Evangeline have feelings for him for the reason that he knew better.The woman just wanted him to submit to her.He could feel it in his bones."Hello Eric, how are you fairing?" Evangeline gave her practice perfect smile that didn't fail every time she showed it on males –– until Eric showed up that is.In truth, she herself didn't know why she was so obsessed with the idea of Eric submitting to her. The more the guy brush her off, the more challenge she felt.Usually, if a guy was playing hard to get, she wouldn't bat an eyelid and resume her everyday life. She was never in a shortage of l

"There's a twenty-four-hour café there." Eric pointed at a modern chick café, five meters away from the bike rack. Then he pointed at a mega wide construction across the street."I'll just be there," he said. And without wasting another second, he crossed the street and entered the construction site.Evangeline was still in a state of disbelief and inner turmoil. Her eyes followed the back of Eric, feeling . . . lonely . . .". . ."What is wrong with me? You're not acting yourself, Evangeline!She didn't understand why she wanted to wait for Eric no matter what. Didn't understand why she wanted him to submit to her so badly. And before she even noticed it, she already became obsessed with the idea. She dismissed it all as nothing but a game though. Nothing but a new kind of entertainment to challenge her ego.She didn't entertain the thoughts anymore and dismissed it, thinking because it was a first she encountered a man like Eric.With reclaim poise and grace, she entered Snow café.

In a unit in Heaven's Tower just below Evangeline's room, Asher was sitting quietly inside his study. His face solemn as he stared at his hands, deep in thought."Eric Phelps, born from a commoner's family in Everland. His parents died in a car accident when he was seven. And since then, he was living in an orphanage. In his first year in high school, he started doing part-time jobs and left the orphanage. A constant honor student in high school. And after that, he went to Burberry because of Unmei Academy's letter of recommendation. A poor part-time boy, geh! So boring!" a handsome young man narrated. His shoulder length hair, dye in red, shimmered under the warm light.He then flung the folder on the table, looking all uninterested. Raising his legs, he rested them on the table as he leaned on the swivel chair, feeling entirely at home."Bro, why are you investigating this man? He's just ordinary. In fact, there's nothing special to him at all!" the red hair added.Asher didn't mind

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!Sisley rubbed her palms together, occasionally breathing against it to keep it warm. After she finished her club activities, she waited inside the classroom for Daniel to finish his club activities so they could go home together.At the thought of Daniel, her cheeks puffed a cute blush of red, giggling at the memory of her and him a few days ago.It was no longer a secret that she and Daniel were together after the inter-school festival. Some cried and some cursed while some cheered.The confession was not anything sweet nor romantic like the ones in the movies and novels.At that day where he invited her for a date and had the unfortunate chance of meeting Evangeline along the way, Sisley admitted that her mood worsened, feeling that Daniel was acting a bit strange. But thanks to her cheerfulness, Daniel's mood turned for the better. They no longer resumed their date on that mall and decided to visit a park instead. Even though they didn't have much topic to talk abou
