When she came back in her department. Her co-workers asked sudden questions.

"Did he fire you?"

"Did he yell at you?"

"What happened?"

"I just made coffee for him. He is a coffee lover", she answered making her way to his table.

"So, what now? Amber's gone. Who will be our team manager?", another girl said.

"Go back to work", Celestine said to them.

"Celestine?"

"Sir", she stands up. It was Ryan calling her.

"Can you come with me?"

"Where are we going?"

"My secretary is gone for a day. Can you accompany me to my meeting today?"

"Yes sir", Celestine grabbed her back and start making their way to the elevator.

When it opened, Josh and Dayl was inside and other employees.

When they got on to the elevator. No one is talking. They are just waiting for the it to open. Its stopped on the 2nd floor, the other employees got off. Now the 4 of them just left behind.

"Celestine, what do you like for dinner?", Ryan asked.

"Sir! I am surprised with your voice", she said while holding her chest.

"What? Don't tell me you are still shy when you are with me?" Ryan shouldered his hand in her.

"Of course. I didn't know you are all the big bosses here", Celestine looked at them one by one. And her eyes got stuck on Dayl.

The elevator opened on the ground floor. Dayl and Josh went to their car. I am just looking at Dayl walking towards his car.

"Do you want to ride with them?" Ryan asked.

"No sir. Lets go", she said.

"Don't worry this meeting won't be long. You will get to see him later", he said and then winked.

It really won't consumed an hours. Its only a 30 minutes meeting.

"Its nice doing business with you, Mr Chua", they are shaking hands.

"Thank your, Mr. Santos. Well see you on the site",

"Yes sir!",

"By the way, your secretary is beautiful", Mr. Chua said. "Do you have a boyfriend?", he asked Celestine.

"None sir", she answered.

"But she's married. I'm sorry Mr.Chua", Ryan interrupted.

"Oh! I'm not surprised, your a very beautiful lady. Well, I better get going", and He leaves them.

"Lest go", Ryan said.

"hmmm...You go first. I just need to go somewhere", Celestine said.

"You sure?", Celestine nod for an answer. "Ok! See you then", and then leaves her.

Celestine texted her Niece.

She never replied to her text but she still went to the plaza. While waiting her to come. There are men walking towards her. She takes a few steps backward. When they walking so fast towards her. She got nervous and run away. This men is chasing her now. She went to a place where there many people. She hides with this people. She's out of breath. When the men are gone. She run away again and hides to a tree. She was looking around if they are still there when someone touch her shoulder.

"Help", she shouted.

"Hey! Its me",

"Edward? What are you doing here?", she said with curious eyes.

Edward showed his dog. "I am walking with my Boo. How about you? Why do look so tired and scared?"

"Someone....",pointing to the people. "Nevermind", she said while chasing her breath.

Edward accompany her to the terminal of jeep.

"Thank you", she thanks Edward.

"Text me when you got home", Edward said and then leaves. When she's about to step inside someone grabbed her hand.

"Miss Celestine",

"Who are you?",

"Come with us",

"Let go", they are forcing her to get inside the van.

"Hey! Let go of her", the people shouted at them.

"Mind your own business", the man said. They are scary looking guy.

"Lets go", Celestine said and now she's crying.

And then Josh, Ryan and Dayl appeared. They beat the guys who are trying to get Celestine. And the men left voluntarily.

"Are you ok?" Dayl hugged her.

She is in shocked of what happened.

Even if they are good in fighting. They still have bruises in their face. Celestine now treating their bruises.

"Why are you there?" Dayl asked.

She is wiping his scratch on his elbow.

"I went there to meet my niece. When they suddenly chasing me.", she said. "I don't know why they are chasing me",

Ryan and Dayl looked at each other. As if they are hiding something from her.

"But...how did you learn to fight? You looked very cool there. With the fighting. I feel like a princess back there", she said.

They are looking at Celestine while she is portraying the fighting scene.

"Are you a member of some gang?" she asked.

"Go and take a rest", Dayl said while getting the cotton from her hand. "And Celestine, Don't tell anyone that your married with me until my mother comes back",

"Yes! I know that",
