“I believe that no matter how busy your life is, no matter how hectic your schedule is, and no matter how focused you are on your work, there’s that one person who will come to your life and shake your world, disrupt your system, and seize your concentration."

Auguste gazed at the woman beside him. No, it's not because of the carefree way she drank that beer that made her look so innocent and pure. It's because of the way she just described what true love is. 

It's because that's also how love is to him.

It has been years since he felt that for someone. He used to love someone who ruled his life and made him not want to do anything but be with her. But that woman is now out of his life and is about to marry a real-life prince.

Since then, Auguste believed that he will never fall in love again. Never did he think that the woman in front of him now will be that someone who will shake up his world, mess up with his life and distract him forever.

Since the mall just opened when Auguste and Margaret went there, it was just the two of them in the department store. The only other people there are the mall staff, and Margaret noticed once again that they are not familiar with Auguste. Although they are still very polite, it’s obvious that the treatment they give him is for a regular customer and not for an owner of the company. 


“How does it feel that your employees do not recognize you?” Margaret asked him. 


“There’s not much difference, actually,” Auguste answered. “They don’t worship me as well back in Tarlac just because I own the company. They greet me when they see me, that’s all. Although, if people know who I am, I doubt they would let me see them do that.” 


Auguste pointed to some staff who are chatting with one another. There is no customer to serve yet, so their job is not affected by the said chitchatting.
