“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.

"Gosh! Even now that you have a girlfriend, you still work on Saturdays?" 


Auguste looked up and saw Geoffroy sit on a chair opposite him. They are now in the library-cum-office. 


"Does having a girlfriend gives you the license to be irresponsible?" he replied to his nosy brother. 


"Ouch! Oh! Why would I be affected? I don't have a girlfriend," Geoffroy retorted. "But when I do, I would definitely skip working on weekends to spend more time with her." 


"You never work on weekends even if you're not in a relationship." 


Geoffroy grimaced. "Touché!" he said sarcastically. "But even so. Didn't you learn from your past relationship, Brother?" 


Auguste paused, although he still did not look at Geoffroy. His eyes remained on his laptop screen. 


"She broke up with you because you didn't have time for her." 


Suddenly, those words that Margaret said during their first meeting came back to Auguste's head.
