Dove arrived in Mint-More company with Vincent’s workers. She was expecting to see Vincent, but she was told by one of his employees that he left already.
Candy was directing the workers to take the sugarcanes to the factory where it can be turned into sugar, when she saw Dove standing outside the company.
She frowned and briskly walked up to Dove.
“Why are you still here?” She asked.
“I just want talk to Vinny”
Candy scoffed.
“You have a boyfriend so why bother talking to another man?”
“And who made the rule that a lady isn’t allowed to talk to another man just because she has a boyfriend?” Dove asked.
“Vincent isn’t here, so take your useless self out of here”
“From what I can remember you’re just his secretary, so act like one. You have no right to tell me when and when not to leave, cuz you’re not the owner of Mint-More. If you look at it properly, I am more of importance to this company, cuz my sugarcanes are needed to make sugars”
Candy scoffed and said. “I regret coming to you for business, if not for me, you won’t have being part of Vincent’s company”
“You’re right. I got a contract with Mint-More because of you, but that doesn’t mean you can talk to me anyhow you like. I might be small in nature, but don’t underestimate me, cuz you will get burned” Dove said with a serious expression.
Candy glared at her before leaving.
Dove received an apologizing message from Niko, but instead of calling Niko, she called Vincent instead.
He picked before it rang.
“Were you expecting my calls? You pick up, quickly”
“This is the first time you’d be calling me, I won’t trade it for even a second”
“You’re crazy. Where are you? I’m at your company and you’re not here”
“Did you miss me?”
“Stop joking around”
“I’m checking out the best place to have dinner with you,” He said.
“It’s just dinner, you don’t have to put in so much effort”
“To you it’s just dinner, but it means a lot to me. This might be the first and last time you will agree to have dinner with me”
Dove chuckled.
“If you don’t misbehave I might have a second thought about having dinner with you, but don’t take it to heart”
“I will, I also have a surprise for you when will meet later tonight”
“What kind of surprise?” Dove asked.
“It won’t be a surprise anymore if I disclosed it you, you’d see my surprise later tonight”
“Wh@ťěver” She smiled.
“I already sent your payment to your account. Your account details were included in the contract” Vincent said, and Dove received an alert immediately.
She gasped when she saw the numbers of zeros in the money she received from Vincent.
“One million! This wasn’t the amount we agreed on. Why did you triple it?” She asked.
Her initial payment was supposed to be three hundred thousand dollars.
“It’s nothing”
“What do you mean it’s nothing? Do you know how difficult it is to make money? Where are you? I’m sending it back to you”
“It’s not your money, so why are you complaining? Just consider it as a friendly gift” He said and ended the call.
“Hello! Vinny!!” She looked at her phone and discovered he already ended the call.
Dove looked at the alert again, biting half of her lip.
“Is he the son of the president?” Dove asked herself, walking out of Mint-More company.

•BLOW-BLOOMS AGENCY•
Charon sits in his office, looking at the new clothing design he received from a fashion company.
“I wonder if these designers will be okay” He muttered, flipping to the next page, and someone knocked on the door.
“Come in”
Izzy entered the office with a smile, and she admired the white ironed suit he was wearing.
Unlike Charon, Vincent doesn’t wear suits to work, cuz he finds it uncomfortable. He doesn’t even dress like someone who owns a business company.
“Where are you here?” Charon asked, and Izzy snapped out from her world of admiration.
“Huh?”
“What brings you here, Izzy?” He asked in a calm voice as always. It’s hard for you to hear him shout. He always talks in a calm way.
Izzy smiled and placed a lunchbox on his table.
Charon looked at the lunchbox and then he looked at Izzy.
“What’s this for?”
“It’s your lunch,” She smiled.
“Why did you bring me lunch? I never asked you to”
“Well the fashion show event is coming up, and you have been quite busy preparing models for the show. I figured out you might be tired and hungry and that’s why I brought you lunch” Izzy said.
Charon smiled and opened the lunchbox, he looked at Izzy.
“Is there something wrong?” She asked.
“How did you know my favorites? You also got me my favorite meals the last time too”
Izzy smiled, cutely.
“There’s nothing I don’t know about you boss. I know your favorite down to your allergies”
“Interesting? So what’s my allergies?” He asked with a smile.
“Well, you’re allergic to craps and apples. You get inches when you eat craps or apples”
“It’s surprising how you know my allergies, Piper doesn’t even know about it”
“I put so much effort in knowing about you”
“Why will you even do that?” He asked, with a smile.
“Because I love you”
“What?”
“Huh?” Izzy said with widened eyes. She didn’t know when it came out of her mouth.
“You love me?”
Izzy laughed so hard and said, “What I mean is I love you like a boss. You’re kind and calm, so I love you as a boss. You know, the kind of agape love that Christians preach about” Izzy said her words, rushingly.
Charon chuckled.
“You’re funny. Come and take look, maybe you can pick out the best designs for our models”
Izzy nodded and went to where Charon was sitting, instead of looking at the designs, she was busy inhaling his sweet scent.
“What designs do you like?” He asked and she blinks her eyes.
“I love this designs”
“Really?”
“Yes, our models will stand out different if they don’t wear the common strapless dresses”
“I also had that in mind” He smiled at her.
“Really?”
“Yes. We have the same thoughts in mind”
“I am glad we do”
Both laugh and hit hands together.
“What’s going on here?” Piper asked when she saw Izzy and Charon together.
It’s her boyfriend’s company, so to her, there was no need to knock.
Izzy quickly leaves Charon’s side. She wasn’t happy seeing Piper, cuz Piper ruined her good moments with Charon.
“Piper. Don’t have strange things in mind, she is a makeup artist here, and she was just suggesting on new designs for my models”
“I no longer exist, is that why you’re taking suggestions from another woman?”
“You weren’t picking my calls and I….”
“Just shut up!!!” Piper shouted at him, and looked at Izzy with a h@ťěful glare.
“His girlfriend is here now, so leave”
Izzy nodded her head and left with a sad face.
“I don’t like her, fire her!” Piper said.
“I can’t fire her”
“And why not? Do you like her? Are you having an affair with her, huh?!”
“Of course not, Piper. She is one of the best makeup artists here, you don’t expect to fire her. She is good at what she does, people love her work”
“I see, I guess it was wrong for me to come here” She tried to leave, but Charon held her hand.
“Don’t leave, Piper. I have missed you”
Piper rolled her eyes, folding her hands under her B-__-bs. She is busty with a well curved body.
She always wears segzy dresses.
“About we go for shopping, I will get you anything you want”
“Anything I want?”
Charon nodded, smiling.
“Fine. Let’s go shopping!” She said with excitement kissing him.
Izzy peeped from the door, and when she saw them kissing, her heart was shattered.
She sniffles and leaves.

“You don’t expect them to give you $30, 000 just for textbooks, Dora,” Joaquin said.
“I didn’t ask for your opinion, so shut up! If your brother was rich, Dove won’t have had a hard time giving me the money”
“Dora” Angel called her name, cuz she didn’t like what she was saying to Joaquin.
“What! Do you want to get slapped?” Dora said, looking at them.
Angel and Joaquin shook their heads.
“And let me say this as a warning to the both of you, if you ever rat me out to either my stupid sister or my dad, this friendship of ours is over. You already know you both would have been bullied in school if not for me”
“We won’t meddle in your life, so do wh@ťěver you like. I’m leaving” Joaquin leaves.
“Do you have some money?”
“Why?” Angel asked.
Dora didn’t answer her questions, and took Angel’s handbag, she took all the money inside.
“Dora, that’s my savings….
Angel stopped talking when Dora glared at her.
“Don’t worry, when I get a rich boyfriend, I won’t bother taking money from you” Dora threw Angel’s bag on the ground and walked away.
Angel sighed, picking up her bag.
***
Dora entered a restaurant and ordered food with the money she took from Angel.
She was still eating when a handsome boy entered the restaurant. Just looking at him, you’d see he was born with a silver spoon.
Dora continued looking at him until he ordered a take-home meal, and left.
She quickly followed him outside and she gasped when she saw the expensive car he came with; it was a Royce car.
Dora smiled and quickly rushed back inside the restaurant to meet the waitress that attended to him.
“Who was that guy?”
“Aren’t you too young to be asking about guys? How old are you”
“I’m eighteen!” She lied, cuz she just clocked fifteen.
“It doesn’t look like you are eighteen”
“I was cheated by nature, so tell me who he is. He seems like he is rich”
“He is actually rich”
“Really?” Dora asked with a smile.
“Yes. Since he is a regular here, I know a few things about him”
“What do you know about him?”
“His name is Alex and he is a college student”
“What college?”
“Wilford college” The waitress answered.
“Okay, thank you” She smiled and leaves the restaurant.

•BLACK BLOOD GROUP•
Zoey’s loud Mõ@ɲs could be heard as Charming th-ru_st her from behind with his Ďïčk
Both are members of Black Blood group, an organization for robbing.
The organization is owned by Diego, who happens to be Vincent’s criminal father.
He owns the robbery organization, and sent young people to go into robbery.
“More of you, Charming” Zoey Mõ@ɲs as Charming f-__-ks the living daylight out of her.
Both are dating.
“Aren’t you both done yet?” Someone asked, knocking on the door.
Charming sighs and pulls his Ďïčk out of Zoey’s whole.
“We continue, later” He kissed her and Zoey smiled.
Both put on their clothes and came out of the room.
“Were you both even planning on stopping if I didn’t interrupt?”
“Thanks for ruining my sweet moment with my boyfriend, Niko,” Zoey said.
Niko chuckled.
“So what’s our mission tonight?” Charming asked.
“Boss Diego wants us to rob a mall tonight,” Niko answered.
“Will you be okay robbing with us? You got stab last night”
“I will be fine,” Niko said. He covered his face with a robbery mask, and brought out a gun from his pocket.
Charming and Zoey did the same too.
******
Dove keeps looking around the restaurant, cuz it was empty and quiet.
It was an expensive restaurant, and it’s strange that it’s quiet without a single person in it.
“Did he give me the wrong address?” Dove muttered and was about to call Vincent, when Vincent came out from the kitchen inside the restaurant.
She was backing him.
“You’re finally here,” He said with a smile.
Dove slowly turned to look at Vincent, and the phone she was holding fell down from her hand immediately she saw Vincent’s new look.
She could swear that he is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and as Vincent walked up to her with a smiling face, her heart developed a beat.
Dudum! Dudum! Dudum!
Came the beating of her heart
