Miss you... *

"I'm going to miss you," Maya was leaving with her parents for their homeland. 

We won't see each other for a few months. She will start university the following semester,  first, she will take some fashion courses at a school in her country.

This was not fair!

I hugged her at the airport. The two of us looked like a sea of tears. It looked like we were about to part for a lifetime.

"Are they always like this?" I heard Maya's brother ask, he turned out to be the handsome older man Vin had seen with Maya earlier.

The handsome and gallant Sebastian, with black hair and a tanned complexion, tall and muscular, and just like Maya, sexy to the tip of his feet. He had a perfect style of dressing as if he was a model and not a military man.

I would never believe it if he told me that he is a captain who has lived his entire life on the training ground.

Vin sighed and nodded. Now he looked happier, and I could swear that he had a kiss on his neck that he tried to hide with a little concealer, but it was impossible when he touched it affectionately from time to time.

Those two had finally made amends, but I wasn't sure if they were more than friends.

When Maya went to say goodbye to him, they both blushed as I had never seen them before.

I and Sebastian soon took hundreds of photos of them to integrate them into our memory album.

Of course, Sebastian was a little... jealous, anxious, and a little furious when he found out, but he got used to it little by little. After meeting Vin, his innocent and pretty brother-in-law, he couldn't help but adore him.

Vin was so different from all the boyfriends Maya had ever had before. He was sensitive, and caring, and only had eyes for Maya. He was also very intelligent. After all, he was a scholarship student at Imperio College, and he was running one of my companies as the CEO.

He would become a great figure in the future.

"We have to go," Sebastian said looking at his watch. He was such a perfectionist with punctuality that it scared me.

Vin nodded, "be careful, don't go out alone."

Maya nodded like an obedient little girl. I had never seen her like this. I took another photo.

"You too, don't let anyone touch you. Do you understand me?"

Wow, I didn't know that side of Maya either, she seemed like a domineering, possessive, and jealous CEO.

"Same to you," Vin said, frustration on his face. "Don't come within two feet of a man. Only I can..."

"You can?"

Poor Vin was speechless, but the next second he took her hand and kissed the back of her palm. It was a direct crush.

I could see hearts in Maya's eyes, they seemed to bloom like pink and red bubbles.

Maya seemed to be trying to control herself, but in the end, it happened. She attacked Vin with a passionate kiss that seemed to try to eat him whole.

Vin barely caught her as she coiled koala-like around his body. Poor Vin nearly fell to the ground. Sebastian had to give him some support with his hand behind his back.

"I can't go," Maya said, still hugging Vin. "Either I go and you come with me or I stay with you and we finish what we couldn't that night."

Oh those two, they're turning my cheeks red too. The people around were already watching us.

"Maya," Vin whispered to her, "go see your parents, when you get back… we will continue..."

My mouth fell open when I heard it. This had already gone crazy. I couldn't handle any more honey in these caramel pancakes.

I was feeling close to needing insulin for diabetes.

Sebastian pulled Maya away when she tried to eat Vin again. He even had to carry her on her shoulder while she shouted something along the lines of 'Wait for me and don't let anyone touch you, my beautiful flower. I'll be the first.'

Vin almost melts in embarrassment again. But he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.

We stayed at the airport until we found out that the airplane had already taken off. Vin was still flushed in the face.

"You two are already together…"

Vin nodded sheepishly. I was about to give him a big blow to the head. He didn't feel embarrassed when he was doing all that with Maya, right?

My God, even I was embarrassed.

"Okay, finally."

Vin looked at me. "And you?"

"What about me?"

"What about Thunder?"

I looked away. Ever since I took his name off the blacklist on my phone, there was nothing. I hadn't sent him a message or called. Neither did he.

"What with Thunder?"

I asked a little angrily. I felt my eyes turn cold.

"Aren't you going to give him a chance?"

"Chance?" I looked away. That man had asked me for a chance a long time ago, but I was still undecided. I just wanted a normal, run-of-the-mill life with no problems.

At least the Evans family wasn't after me anymore. They gave up when my parents no longer knew what excuse to make every time Grandpa Evans tried to see me.

I was sure that if I talked to him, maybe there would be a way to convince him to let me go. I don't want to marry his grandson. But... that grandfather was a scheming man, and he always had an ace up his sleeve. He wouldn't let me go that easy.

"I don't know," I said, crossing my arms. "Maybe later, now we have a lot of work to do."

Vin sighed and got up. "Yeah... I already found several candidates for the e-sports team."

"Fine, I'll leave the choice to you. What about the other two companies? I heard Maya got two authors to come."

  "That's true, but it will be difficult... The company's brand is badly damaged. The reputation is in ruins, the two authors accepted only under conditions favorable to them and an early termination clause if the value of the publisher falls this year. Miss Lisa Baes is in charge for now."

"I understand, then I'll go to her first."

"By the way, Lucas has problems with the project..."

I was surprised to hear that. I thought Lucas was a genius at this type of project. When he presented the action plan to me, I almost flipped Eureka over because of how well-structured everything was. It was a perfect plan.

"Your brother is giving him trouble..."

"What?"

"Ian Lark seems to want this project too and says he has the same plan as Lucas. He claims it was written by him and that Lucas stole it. He wants to sue us…"
