Business Marriage [English]

Chapter 1Bélla ResortI moved energetically and helped the Filipino workers of a well-known Beach Resort in the Maldives Islands. That resort is owned by a Filipino businessman, so almost all the employees there are my fellow Filipinos.With the number of patron customers who booked the resort, we could no longer cope with handling people at the same time.Everyone is busy, I who am a restaurant manager also have to act and help to meet all the needs of clients."Ma'am Aurora...""Yes?" I turned to the employee who was calling me."Ma'am, our customer who is there is constantly complaining and she is still looking for you to talk to," it points to a sophisticated woman sitting in the corner overlooking the blue ocean and white sand on the beach."Alright, Flora, I'll go," I answer her."Thank you, ma'am. I'm really sorry to bother you too.""It's okay, Flora. It's summer, so there are a lot of customers at Bélla today. Also, don't worry because I know how to handle this... okay, I'll

Chapter 3GoodbyeI GET UP with a smile on my lips. I can't believe, after 2 years I dreamed of my parents. We are so much happy in my dreams.I am eager to call them, at least mommy or one of my best friends who is in the Philippines."Why not, what's the problem if I hear from them? Yes, I should call Nancy. It's been a while since we talked," I said to myself.Before I could even dial the number I was going to call, someone called me first. I smiled when Nancy herself called me."Hello, Nance. How are you? I was going to call you but you got ahead of me—""Aurora...""Yes?""I-I'm here at the hospital now,"I frowned. "W-what happened to you? Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine, but...""But, what? What are you doing at the hospital, Nance?""Y-your mom..."I was suddenly alarmed. "Mommy? What, nance, which mommy?""Your mom, Aurora. Aunt Helen called me earlier—""And?" I couldn't control my nervousness so I raised my voice. "What happened to my mom, Nancy?!"I heard an accented sob fro

TestamentAFTER my father's funeral, mommy and I went home.I am still very quiet inside the car, also mommy who is next to me.I sighed and turned to her. I hugged her tightly. "We can do it, mom. . I am always here no matter what happened. Promise, I will never go anywhere again." I promise her.Mom smiles and embraces me. "I love you so much, baby.""I love you too, Mommy. Let's just be strong."She nodded. "Our lawyer is waiting in our home, baby."I looked up and nodded. ."I am ready, mom. I know what I should do now."Mommy and I held hands when we entered the big house that I hadn't seen in two years. And lastly, I feel at home again. Just like that, my feet were still soft as I walked towards the opening of the wide main door.Nothing was changed in that house. What it looked like the last time I saw it, it's still the same today.The two uniformed maids who were waiting for us smiled at us. They happily greeted me on my return."Welcome home, my daughter." mom mumbled."Thank

BenefitsMY mouth fell open again for the second time. It's like I didn't expect that the man I encountered on the highway a while ago is also the man that I will meet that day.Aged Harrison next to him tsked. I also shook my head and he did the same."Damien, meet the daughter of your uncle Raul, Aurora Torres... Your soon-to-be wife,"He immediately frowned as he glanced at his father... "Dad-""Oh, Damien, I don't want to hear some objection. We've already discussed this, right?"I tried to cut their conversation. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Damien Harrison." I held out my palm without thinking because my palm spontaneously had a thought.He looked at my clear palm then looked into my eyes. "Dad, will you leave us alone?" he speaks to his father. "Let me talk to her alone,""But-""Don't worry about us, dad. We are old enough to settle this conversation just between us."I feel a little bit of embarrassment because he didn't even reach my handshake. I slowly withdrew my palm and hid it

SurpriseI WAS smiling while I made a shake hand with my boss, the owner of the Bélla Resort where I worked for two years."Thank you for accepting my resignation letter, Sir. I thought you still wouldn't allow me. Thank you again.""Well, Aurora, to tell you frankly, I don't really agree with you leaving my company. But your reason is valid. So, even if I don't want to, there's still nothing I can do. It is your decision and choice. Since there is also someone who asks me to let you go."I was surprised by what he said. "Who?""My hidden business partner," his response."Hidden?" I frowned.He smiled. "Yuh.""Uhm, I thought you owned this company, sir. I mean—""Of course, I owned this company, but that was then. For the past 2 years, I had a partner here. That's why this company changes a lot.
