The trip at the outskirts of LA came and went with Eric and Carlos returning successfully with lots of plans and adventurous memories. They had to call more vehicles as the staff also joined in traveling back to town to resume their work in Hollywood. "I'm going straight to Raine upon returning, aside from greeting my son, I want her to be….. I want to say something important to her." He looked at his father's face and he smiled. "You know what I mean already!" He says it declaratively knowing that it didn't require an answer from Carlos. "Okay, I know already and it's the best thing for you to do." Eric wants to go visit Raine and talk to her about his forthcoming debut. He wants to have an hour or two conversation with her. As he had promised himself, immediately he set foot on the grounds of his estate where Carlos came along. "I wish you goodluck, go and tell me what you got as an update later." He says to him, patting him on the back before he heads straight to the living
When Raine realized that Eric is thinking about her being in a relationship already which is making him mute and not being able to speak up in time, she steps up to correct him. "I'm not in any relationship if that's your fear," she says with a grin. Not only is she saying this to please Eric but telling the truth. Though many men came around, most who were working in Eric's establishment, she paid no attention to them. "You have to trust the type of girl I am." She tries to convince Eric into letting go of his worries seeing he is truly disturbed by what he heard. Little by little, he starts to believe her, seeing her as a trustworthy person. "Glad you stood your ground, I love girls like you working for me." He comments. Raine who wants to clarify herself as independent and not being who she is for him decides to go independent by still insisting on being single, she shows him that it wasn't because of him she kept herself clean but just to please her God and herself. "Why don't
Eric later goes back to his room, relaxes on the bed and places a phone call on Raine. Luckily for him, she picks without any time wasting. "I supposed you are now back from picking Mako?" "Yes, I am. Right now I'm trying to prepare some lunch for him and myself." Raine cooks for Mako most of the times and herself, then if she is not chanced, she lets the main nanny do her job. "Oh!" Eric breathes heavily like someone that has been working all day. "Can I come around?" "Yeah of course, you can!" "Woww!" Eric replies, delighted at her reply. He thought that she doesn't wants to see him or talk with him from their last conversation based on her he treated her and what he said to her. Raine was trying to keep to his law, she suspected that it was a temptation or a test most especially as he warned her that if she went against the rule, she will be fired. She loves her work so much that she can't risk losing it, her mother would suffer dreadfully. She tried to behave herself ev
Moving straight to the kitchen, he finds Raine almost done with the dishes. That sensation makes him drape his left hand over her waist, he looks straight into her face to see her reaction. Raine is shocked, she wasn't expecting this and still she's unsure of Eric. "What are you doing, Eric?" She forgets her decision to call him sir and even upon calling him by his real name, her tone is full of so much respect and formality. This adds to the widened eyes expression she gave immediately Eric's hand touched her waist. Eric is glad his son is not before them, he is in his room. Even if he was, he wouldn't know what's going on as a little kid. His hand lingers on her waist, holding Raine captive. Her heart is beating in ecstasy, as he is holding her, she feels hormones rushing into her and out like they are in constant battle with each other. I never expected this! I wish it's real and not some test. She says inside her. As they are showing their loved up feelings, Mako emerges
He turns to face him knowing fully well he will be excited to meet him. His race directs towards him from where he stretched forth his arms and catches him in an embrace. Mako smiles so wide, his heart becomes gladden. He loves his father so much and would always giggle each time he was around him. "How was school today, son?" He asks after dropping him and playing with him. Raine rests against the platform, she pauses what she was doing and stares at both, father and son with delight glowing on her face, a slightly parted lips which forms a smile and hands crossed over her chest. She didn't know Eric would turn and see her admiring them, as he did she is shy and returns to what she was doing. However Mako wouldn't let her pretense last long. He takes over from his dad and runs to her. "Hey mama, how are you and daddy doing?" Her cheeks grow red, Eric sees that she is painfully shy but not angry about what his son is doing. Indirectly she doesn't wants to be linked with whatever
"Mako, you can go inside and play, once she is done, we will notify you to come out and eat. Is that okay with you?" He urges him so that they would be given more chances to do what they have to do. At first Mako proves reluctant, he wishes to stay with them but his father leaves Raine's side and walks over to him, caressing his head while shaking it gently. "Wouldn't you love to play some games inside your room before doing your assignment or you want to be studying all day?" Now no kid wants to read all day, so when he heard about doing assignments all day, it became like a threat to him. He shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders vehemently leaving his father surprised. "Come let's go play now so you won't have to read all day till night." Eric jokes to Mako's disheartening. Since he is a child, he doesn't know it's a strategy so he would leave them. He follows his father who drapes his hand over his shoulders. In his room, Eric sits on his bed and begins to play his toyish
After a while, she drops her utensils. "I'm done with lunch." She says, turning around to stare at me. Eric understands what she needs at this moment, to crown the short but memorable moment they just had with each other, he pulls her into a tight embrace, caressing her back and her waist with the other hand. "I'd love to go out with you tonight on a date night, would you mind accepting this request?" "I would come with you!" Raine isn't cheap with her ready responses, but not wanting to play hard on the other side. Eric is a hot-cake among the girls, here she is with no outstanding world class talent or possession, most of these girls after him are world's best in their respective fields. Here is this billionaire asking for her heart when she has no special traits like the models and actresses chasing him. The fact is that Eric wants a woman who knows how to maintain a good home and take care of his future children. Some of those women who are chasing him do not have the fam
"What are we going to do after the meal?" Eric asks both of them, waiting for whoever is going to respond. Raine and Mako look up in thoughts of the best choice. "I have homework from 5 PM today, we can use the one hour, thirty minutes for fun!" He exclaims in his childish style. Raine laughs. "You aren't specific about your answer dear. Ok, I'll suggest we go around the woods in our surrounding to enjoy the cool breeze. We can take snacks and drinks with us like we are going for a picnic. "Oh yeah, that's a good idea." Eric remarks, giving Raine a thumbs-up. Mako smiles. "It's another time for us to go out as a family." "There you go again!" Raine teases Mako. She whispers into Eric's ear. "I think he is the real factor igniting the desire for us to come together as a family." Eric grins with satisfaction. "Yeah, yeah. It's good at matchmaking." He comments at his son's attitude, this trait of his is unique. He wonders if he even knows what he is trying to do. Of course
