“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.

“How about you?” Auguste suddenly asked. 


“Your friends. They don’t ask you to hang out with them?” 


“They also don’t like me, like Iñigo to your group.” 


Auguste frowned at her, making her giggle. 


“Well, I also have friends. I have friends in my workplace, which I know you don’t have because... I don’t think the company CEO befriends those who are in the lower part of the organizational chart.” 


“I can definitely do that! I am friends with the CFO and COO.” 


“They are your brother and cousin.” 


Auguste paused. “At least, they have lower ranks than mine.” 


“I’m talking about the rank and files.” 


Auguste seems to think on how to counter that statement. After a while, he said, “We don’t see each other that often, as compared to the CFO and COO.” 


Margaret let out a loud sigh. “Why don’t you just give up?”
