CHAPTER TWOTHE MAN arrogantly tidied his still-tidy coat.Ally smirked to herself. Who this guy thought he was? She knew Ghia to be a down-to-earth person who does not look down on anyone.“You can’t just leave without telling me where your so-called best friend and my sister are,” he said without blinking.Ally raised an eyebrow again.“Says who? You? Why? Are you my boss? And even if, by chance, you are my boss, we have the same human rights. Don’t use that attitude on me. It does not work every time and on every people,” she said bluntly, looking him straight in the eye.Gael was taken aback, but it only lasted for a short while. He stared at her sharply. Ally, on the other hand, could not stop herself from studying his face. He had no visible pores, and he had tiny moles on the side of his eyes. They were of different shapes and sizes, and it suited his arrogant facial features.

ALLY was walking along the hallway with her head down. She did not know how to ease herself from worrying about what will happen to Gino in the coming days if he kept on seeing Ghia.She was oblivious to her surroundings. She failed to prepare herself when someone grabbed her by the arm.Her eyes widened in shock. Horses were racing inside her chest when she met another pair of eyes.“W-what the—let go of me!” she growled when she finally got a hold of herself except for heart still pounding.When she tried to break free, Gael put his arm on the side of her hips and the other just above her shoulder. He even had to bow his head so that their faces would aline.Her body suddenly felt like betraying her the moment she smelled his familiar perfume. It was only then that she realized she was longing for his scent even though she only met him yesterday. Just not in a proper way.“Did you see what happened?” he said i

CHAPTER THREE“YOU WORRY so much about Gino that you almost forgot about yourself, Ally. You know what? You’re unbelievable. Are you saying that you’d rather end up alone if you don’t end up with him?” Lyneth, her best friend, exclaimed.Lyneth was a self-published author. Aside from writing, her other passion was eating. There she was actually, munching a popcorn. Ally thought at first that Lyneth brought it just for her. Lyneth ate it instead.Lyneth came to see her after a week of isolating herself from the world. She personally did all the layout of her manuscripts. Her friend would rather self-publish than give up the copyright of her works to traditional publishers. And Ally was in favor of it, of course. She earned from printing Lyneth’s books. She received complimentary copies, too. It’s not a mystery they became good friends.“It’s better than forcing myself, right?” she

*** *** *** *** ***ALLY stroked her black skirt, which she paired with a long-sleeved blouse with lace tied into a ribbon on the neckline. She texted Lyneth when she was going up. When she reached the floor where the studio was, her friend was already waiting for her.“You dressed simply,” Lyneth remarked with a sour expression after sharing a quick hug.Ally raised an eyebrow and put her hands on her hips.“And?”Lyneth grinned.“I love it!”Ally giggled. Lyneth was already telling her about the handsome guests she had talked to tonight. Some of them had already agreed to be the faces of the covers of her books. Ally pretended to have her full attention with her story. Her interest was already captured by huge displays of photographs on the walls of the studio. They were so beautiful she wanted to take all of them down and bring them home.“Hey, Arnold!”“Hello, gal

CHAPTER FOURALLY looked to her left and right, but Gael stopped her by the shoulders and caught her eyes. Her heart missed a beat."I don't see anything in front of me other than you," he said.Gael's hands on her shoulders brought tiny tickles to her body. Ally fought so hard not to slump her face on his broad chest to be locked in his arms. But how could she believe him when he was too serious? What would it cost him if he would smile a bit? Like, duh!"You don't look like you're sincere.""I don't have to be sincere when it comes to strangers.""And I don't like to be touched by strangers either," Ally said dryly. She flinched, and Gael withdrew his hands from her shoulders. At first, she thought he was starting to be a little kind to her. "Can you move aside now?"Gael got out of her way, but he did not leave. He stood by her side."It's so lovely…"Ally was about to touch the photograph, but

*** *** *** *** ***"HERE YOU go," Arnold said with a smile and handed her a square wrapped in a brown paper when they were about to leave."What's that?" Ally asked."Your favorite The Ruins. I had it wrapped so it would be convenient for you."She smiled reluctantly."I thought Gael already bought that from you.""I did not know you were friends," Arnold said with a mischievous smile.Ally stopped herself from rolling her eyeballs."We are not friends. Just pure acquaintances. And I had no idea you are friends with him, too. How was that possible?""I am a well-known blogger, remember? I was invited to an event sponsored by their telecom company. I interviewed him, and we clicked. Since then, I was always present on every occasion. He's such an eligible guy, isn't he? What do you think, Ally?" Arnold smiled slyly."I believe I have the right to remain silent," she retorted."Is that Gael's coat?" he asked
