the possibility that love might be more real .....

Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.

Amor was already awakened even before the sound of the old alarm clock, perhaps she has not slept at all. Mila's bed has been made up so it means she is awake already. "You had a fight with your husband?" Chloe asked while tidying up her bed.

"Huh?"

"Your eyes are swollen, unless if you got stung by a bee."

"That would have been much better," she thought.

"Uhm..... yes but I'm okay now thanks."

"Good."

"You can work from here until the weekend, make sure you are online all the time and presentable when you join meetings. I don't want to see you until the day of the conference," she remembered Do Yun's words from last night. She wore a cute midi, cardigan, and sandals, and to cinch her waist she also wore it with an oversized belt today, "What's the use of looking presentable if he doesn't want to see me until the day of the conference?" she asked herself. Amor checked her phone for emails and found she hasn't edited the pictures and videos she took from the site visit yesterday, "Yesterday once more," she cringed at the thought. The things she did and said are floating in her thoughts, "Is this what they call hangover?" she asked herself. She finally understood why Do Yun doesn't want to see her, "I don't even want to see myself how much more him wanting to see me after last night," she thought. After finalizing her report she sent the email and waited for a reply, "Have I become an on-call secretary now? Serves me right," she told herself. An hour has passed and she finally received a response from Do Yun:

"Contact the agent of the condominium in Mabolo, I will personally inspect the place next week before you start complying with the requirements. Please indicate that I will also visit their amenities as this will have a bearing on my decision."

"Your wish is my command," she thought.

Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.

Amor was already awakened even before the sound of the old alarm clock, perhaps she has not slept at all. Layla's bed has been made up so it means she is awake already. "Are you excited about today's conference?" Mila asked while tidying up her bed.

Today's conference consists of 10 people from Commercial, Residential, and Government Divisions but this may be her last major event, "Will he still introduce me as his personal secretary?" she asked herself.

"As long as I don't need to say anything I think I'll survive the day," she beamed at Mila.

She chose to wear a mini skirt with a rollneck and a pair of thigh-high boots, "As if this outfit will make any difference," she thought.

Amor got ready a little early so she can still make a call to her mother while she is outside unit 615. She then took her personal phone and dialed her mother's number, after a few rings someone answered on the other line.

"Hello?"

"Hello, ma."

"Amor, how are you? Why did you call this early?"

"Ah..... I might be busy later that's why I decided to call you now. How are the kids? Are they awake already?"

"Are you kidding me? Of course not, for sure they will get up later around 9 am to take their brunch."

"How was the check-up?"

"It was good, the doctor encouraged Theo to use crutches instead so that he can exercise his legs more often. The next check-up is scheduled for next month."

"That is indeed good news perhaps I can really go home 1-2 weeks from now."

"Do you really only intend to stay there for 1 month? Are you not being treated well by your employers??"

"Don't push it ma," she told herself. "It's not that ma, of course, I already miss the children and for sure Theo likes to go back to work now that he is getting better."

"I don't know about that, but it's better that you talk it through with him."

"What do you mean?"

"As I've said. better talk to him."

"I'll call Evelyn after this then."

"Yes, go ahead I think he needs to talk to you."

"Oh..... okay I'll call him right now. Bye, ma." As soon as her mother ended the call, Amor dialed Evelyn's number right away and after a few rings, someone answered on the other line.

"Hello, Evelyn?"

"Hello, Amor?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I already left your house, do you want to talk to Theo? I can go back there in an hour, why not I'll call you instead if I have him on the line already??"

"Uhm..... are you sure it's okay?"

"Sure, I'll speak with you in a while bye."

"Thanks so much, Evelyn, don't worry I still have time bye."

Standing outside unit 615, she straightened her mini skirt and pressing her lips, she took a deep breath and lightly knocked on the door thrice and David opened the door.

"Good..... good morning Mr. and Mrs.....," Amor stuttered but Ae Cha was not there. "Good..... good morning Mr. Kim," but Do Yun stood up to enter their room. She saw Mila sitting on the sofa thus she sat beside her. After the children have finished their breakfast, Mila took notice of what happened earlier "I didn't see Mrs. Kim joined her family during breakfast."

"Don't ask me, I just got back from a long vacation," she told herself. "Ah..... that I don't know."

Amor's personal phone rang and the call was coming from Evelyn, "Mila I need to take this call."

As she was headed out the door David was nearby, "David in case Mr. Kim will look for me I'm right outside I just need to take this call."

"Sure Amor."

"Thank you."

Amor then answered the call, "Hello, Evelyn?"

"Hello, Amor?"

"Theo? How....."

"Why didn't you call right away?"

"Does he finally miss me?" she thought. "Oh..... I've been busy sorry, that's....."

"Just because you're the one working now doesn't make you the head of the family."

"Uhm..... I don't mean it that way I just....."

"I need money, ask for a salary advance from your boss again."

"Ah..... Theo, I don't think....."

"Just ask for 1 month worth of advance, it's not that much for sure they can afford it."

"Oh..... Theo you know I only plan to work here for a month."

"Do you want me to work on crutches? What kind of work will I get?? Do you want me to beg along the city streets??? Did you mess up your work there that's why they did not extend your contract???? If that's so, look for another job while you're still in the city."

"Uhm..... Theo wait up, are you telling me you don't plan on getting back to work just yet?"

"Are you deaf or just stupid not to understand what I'm trying to tell you? You want to go home, come home. Maybe your parents can afford to buy what we need, that'll be a better life," and Theo ended the call.

"This is my reality," she thought and let out a sigh.

"Is there are a problem at the conference even before it started?"

Amor looked in the direction of where the voice is coming from and a familiar sight to behold Do Yun walking toward her wearing a chambray traveler suit in indigo.

"I need to look for another employer," she told herself.

He is indeed the one that never lets her sleep.
