“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.

Did she really just say it? Did she really tell Auguste that they should date? It’s just now that Margaret realized what she just said. She is literally asking him to date her! 


She now understood what Fatima said. It was the very same thing that Auguste said is the reason why Geoffroy thought of that excuse. It was to save Auguste's face from Astrid and her mother. It was to make them believe that he really have moved on. 


Which is clearly not the case. But the truth does not matter. Astrid is getting married, and Auguste will remain the ex-boyfriend who was not able to move on from her. That will be his forever identity if people will not know that he has found someone to date. 


And that is what Margaret wanted to help him with. In exchange for what he has done for her family, Margaret wanted to save his reputation. And pretending to have a relationship with him is the solution that she thought off. 


"M-Margaret... I-I don't think... I-I get what you..."
