PROLOGUE

'Lewis P.O.V'

I was on my way. When i suddenly almost bumped someone, a woman. Fortunately, I braked my car right away. Because otherwise I might have run into him. I stopped the car and got out to look at the woman I almost bumped into.

"What the! Woman are you insane! Are you going to kill yourself?" I asked the woman aloud. Fortunately, there are very few vehicles passing by. She look up at me and my jaw almost dropped when she just awkwardly laugh and she peace sign to me.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to cross." she said shyly, "I think I'm lost, I don't know where our house is back. I'm just new here." she said, but I don't care. She's wasting my time!

"Okay, you look like okay I didn't run into you. So I got to go." I said and I left her and got in the car. I never let him talk much that happened today in the company.

Please don't add to my problem. I turned on my car and left. I don't know, but there's a part of me that I want him to go back to where I left him.

And that's it, I'm back. I saw him standing on the side where I left him, he looks troubled now. I stopped the car in front of him and opened the window.

"Get in woman." I said shortly with a cold voice.

"Huh? '' She looked shocked.

"Do I need to repeat my word again?"

'' Huh-uh. Yes, yes, I'm going to get in, just a moment! "When she got inside the car. That's when I started the car.

"Why did you come back to me?'' she asked, but I didn't answer it. Because even I didn't know why.

"Where do you live?" later I asked.

"Uh-hmm wait." She looked at his cellphone, "San. Sitio. "

"If you don't know how to go back to your house, then why did you leave?" he said earlier that he did not know the return of their house because he was new here.

Maybe she knew the place but she didn’t know how she could get back. Tsk, Idiot!

"I'm looking for a job. To help my parents." because of his answer I looked at him.

"Did you find a job? '' I asked.

"No, maybe I'll just look for a job tomorrow."

"Do you have your resume? '' I asked and looked at him, I immediately turned my gaze back to the road.

"Why? And then can you please don't speak English? I'll nosebleed because of you." She was complaining about it. What she called me rang in my ear, did she just call me manong?

"Don't call me manong. Just give me your resume and go to the CRIMSON COMPANY tomorrow." I said seriously. Her eyes slowly wided. When she heard me.

"Why? Will you give me a job?" he asked eagerly,

"I didn't say anything like that. Just pass your resume to me." lifeless voice I said ..

"Oh go ahead, go ahead oh!" she happily said,
when we got to the address he gave he went down.

"Thank you man, Ay! You don't want me to call you man, do you? What should I call you? What's your name?" He said while scratching his neck.

"I'm Calvin Lewis, but they're calling me Calvin."

"All right, I'll just call you Lewis. I'm Airelle. But just call me Elle." she's now introducing her self to me. I found her name was silently cool, "Come into our house first."

"No need, I need to leave. Just go to the company I'm talking about tomorrow." I used again my blankly staire that i usually use when I'm talking someone.

"Ah all right, just be careful Lewis. Thanks again." I just nooded at her, then I left.

He was the only one who called me that name again. I hate when they are calling me Lewis but when she called me Lewis i found it nice.

I reached home and was greeted by servants. When I got to the bedroom I sat up in bed. And look at the resume he gave me.

"Her name is Airelle Shireen De Laval, and she's 21 years old?" why does she looks 18 years old?

‘Airelle P.O.V’

“Kyahh!” I shouted and jumped while in front of the house.

“Oh daughter what happened to you and you’re screaming there and there’s still jumping around. Did you get hired?” astonished question nk mother, why am I shouting and jumping mother also thought I got a job.

“Mom, Dad. I didn’t get a job. ‘’ They both frowned.

“Then why are you acting like that? I know it’s hard for us. Please don’t go crazy, it’s hard.” Dad said. I frowned, do I look crazy? Can’t I just be thrilled?

“Mom, Dad. I promise I’ll have a job tomorrow.” I take care of them.

“Nakong Batang ire oh! We should just find a job.” Mother’s expression saddened when she said that.

“Mom, I can do it. Tomorrow I’ll make sure I have a job. Let’s just pray and trust God. Mom, do you remember Proverbs 3: 5? ‘” I asked in that verse in the Bible.

“Of course. Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” When my mother said, I smiled because my father also came along. That is our favorite verse in the bible.

“That’s right mom. So just trust me. We can survive too.” Smiling I said with pninigurado.

‘’ We’re really lucky with you son. ‘’ Dad said.

“You’re still very kind daughter.” And mom added.

“For me, I’m the lucky one because I have a family like you.” I promise. They smiled at what I said.

The next morning I woke up early I also prepared what I was going to wear to the company Lewis says.

Can I see him there?
When I came out of my small room I saw my mother cooking while my father was having coffee.

“Good morning. For the new morning!” I greet them warmly.

“Good morning to you too son. Sit down and we’ll eat breakfast.” I followed my mother’s words.

“Daughter, did you say yesterday that you have a job today? What time do you go to school like that?” dad asked.

“Dad, I’m just going to apply but I’m sure of that. And I’ll be there around 8:30.” I smiled at my father.

“And how do you make sure of that?” insertion instead of conversation.

“I’m just guessing. And then I have faith in God. So I will receive that assurance. ‘” I said smiling again.

After we ate breakfast, I went to our small bathroom to take a shower.

Then I dressed simply because I didn’t have a good dress to apply. White dress and black denim pants and I paired it with my white converse shoes.
