Alexander seeing the crowd made him shiver in his fear, but with Shane's suggestion that kept on lingering inside his mind, he actually mend his stage fright. She was right, and she just helped him.

"It was such a pleasure to be present in this kind of event with my own employees for the very first time. I bet you already knew that I just showed up..." he said, and everyone chuckled.

Shane from backstage also laughed.

"That wasn't on the script I made for his speech." she said.

Shane already knew that Alexander has his own speech inside which made her very proud.

"Yeah, because I didn't know that I would be here standing in front of you right now. If it weren't for someone, I am not present today, and I will not be able where I am today." Alexander said, and chuckled.

Everyone went silent, because they were expecting him to tell his story. Shane from the back couldn't help, but smile. Everyone knew he was talking about her.

"I bet that was Miss Bueno." Harley said beside Sharmaine.

    The man nodded as well, and looked at Sharmaine again."She seems nice and pretty as well. Is she your friend, or?" he asked Alexander.Because he doesn't want them to think about it, or talked about his past with her. Alexander just nodded."Oh, Is she also the woman from the HR department from what I have heard she's your ex-girlfriend?" he asked him again.With that, he suddenly felt something strange. He just chuckled a bit, and cleared his throat."Wow, I didn't know it had spread all throughout, but I guess it's not part of your job as well to mind other businesses, right?" Alexander asked the man.The man looked embarrassed, and just cleared his throat. Alexander was pissed, and couldn't help but to walk out."Damn those people who always mind other people's business." he said.He didn't know, but his feet just walked and walked until he arrived at an empty balcony near the entrance of the hall where they were having their event. He could hear the music as well, because it was

    "Damn it! what was I thinking?!" Alexander couldn't help and stop questioning what happened back there.He knew something was wrong, but it was a good thing that he knew how to control it."Alexander, where were you? I have been looking all over for you." Shane asked him.Alexander sighed in relief that he wasn't with Sharmaine, or else Shane must have seen them inside the room."Oh, sorry, I just went out to inhale fresh air." he said and reasoned it out.Shane just looked behind him, and she was relieved not to see Sharmaine anywhere. She just nodded."Okay, then let's go back inside. The party's going to end after an hour already." Shane smiled at him.Alexander smiled at her. The heat in his body was still there, and he couldn't even stop staring at Shane who looked gorgeously hot tonight. His eyes were even looking at her long legs, and couldn't stop swallowing."Damn it, what is wrong with me?" he groaned.He just drink and drink until he was already tipsy. Shane just went besid

    "Ugh, what is wrong with me? why do I feel like this?" Alex couldn't stop asking himself.It was already very late, and his body was still feeling very hot like he wanted to take out his pleasures, but he doesn't know how. He slowly groaned, and stood up. He removed his clothes, and left his boxer all alone. He just realized that his body knew what it wants. And the thing that almost happened to him and Sharmaine a while ago, he knew it wasn't just a coincidence."Good morning, Alex." it was Maria.She folded the curtains, and opened the window. Alex just groaned."I already put your clothes in the laundry box, I am going to wash them. You looked like you really enjoyed the party last night." Maria chuckled.Alex was very weak to respond."Aunt Maria, what time is it already?" he asked her.Maria chuckled, and shrugged her shoulder."It was already eleven in the morning, Alex. You already missed your breakfast, that was why I asked the maid to prepare your brunch already." she told hi

"Come on." she said.Maria even helped him with his bags, even though she told her not to, but she insisted."Looks like you two are going to have more fun, huh." Maria smirked.Shane just chuckled, and looked at Alex."Well, I guess we both need this alone together before our wedding." she smirked back.Alexander just scoffed, and rolled his eyes. After saying goodbye to Maria, Shane hurriedly drove off. She wanted Alex to see their way going to their villa."I want you to see the view while we're on our way going there, that is why I want us to be early. Do you get it?" she asked him.Alex was just nodding, and while looking by the road. He was thinking if he and she talked about the

    Shane just went very speechless, but for her, what he just said was merely important. She knew she was hiding something from him, because she couldn't accept if he was going to get mad at her or what. After driving for a while, they stopped at a cafe by the road."Wow, this place is nice. It looks new." Alex said.Shane smiled as she closed the door of her car."You're right. This cafe is just new. It was renovated." she said."Wow, impressive." he mumbled.As they enter the place, they were more surprised when such a nice vibe welcomed them. It wasn't that cold or hot inside, but it was just the exact temperature they needed, because the place was very steamy."Hi, what are you going to order?" a waitress came and asked them.Shane and Alex both looked at their menu, and they just ended up ordering two brewed coffees, and their best-seller cake, sweet potato. They wanted to try first, and if it meet their expectations, they were going to stop by there again."Sweet potato cake? the f

    "So, I think you are enjoying the fresh air around the garden. Funny to think, but Lily and I thought to change the flowers, but we ended up letting it, and tada! they grew up all by themselves." Granny was very proud to tell them.Alex and Shane just chuckled, but they were very impressed and surprised to see that the flowers were really beautiful."Yeah, they are very pretty, but not as pretty as the woman I am with right now." Alex said from out of nowhere.Granny chuckled and felt a romantic feeling when he just said that. She even winked at Shane, but Shane was still in shock that she was being recalled from the past.Flashback... when they are still young, and playing."The flowers are really pretty!" Shane giggled.Alexander just scoffed, and Shane was surprised by the next thing he did. He picked one, and placed it, and tucked it by her ear.

    While they were by the garden, Shane fell asleep making Alex to scoff and roll his eyes. He was just reading some magazine about his family, when he didn't even realize that she already passed out. Shane's mouth when sleeping was even opened, and couldn't stop snoring."You sleep like a man." he smirked.He slowly stood up, and was careful not to make any sound to wake her up. He slowly takes off his jacket and used it as her blanket. Shane even moved for a bit, but he sighed in relief when she didn't wake up."That was close." he mumbled.As he looked away, he decided to walk around the villa, because it was his first time seeing it again as Shane had told him. While he was walking, a huge tree caught his attention. He doesn't know, but it was something like something was pulling him toward that tree."Wow... I never knew a tree like this in here exists." he was amazed.Looking at the tree, he knew it was a narra tree. It was scary, but he felt safe. As he went closer to its trunk, h

She followed me there." he said.Shane just nodded. She just closed her eyes, because she felt a bit hurt when he told her that they were just young back then. She thought he was going to tell her that it was right, because they were going to marry anyway."Come on, let's go and eat." she boredly said and threw his jacket at his face.Alexander was shocked, and glared at her, but she just rolled her eyes at him, and started to walk first."What happened to that woman?" he scoffed.He just followed her toward the dining, and they were both surprised to see many dishes on the table. Lily, Rina, and granny Linda were also there waiting for them."Wow!" Shane
