Rivalry

Vinz had a great time at Meeara's Cakeshape and Cafe. It was a small business yet Meeara was really smart to made the place quite engaging. She designed both the exterior and interior of the shop. The ambience of the place is entrailling. Their offer different gourmet sandwiches, loafs, cupcakes, cookies, cakes and other pastries. She combined her bakeshop with coffee trends such as dalgona or whipped coffee, snipchilled coffee, cappucino, macchiato, espresso, americano, latte, flat white and many more. He has a business proposal to offer soon as she has seen Meeara's great potential of doing business. To him, this day was one of the memorable day since he got along with her and surely in the upcoming days.

"I've already loved this place." Vinz said.

"You are always welcome Sir, here at Meeara's Cakeshop and Cafe."They laughed together.

"Vinz I have a favor to ask before you leave?"

"Meeara, anything that I can do for you, bear that in your mind."

"Would you kindly return all these to Linsky?These were the gown, pair of shoes and bag that I wore from the party." Meeara said and gave the paper bag to Vinz.

"Oh why? Knowing Linsky these things are nothing. Oh, these are merely a pieces of clothing." He said while checking inside the paper bag.

Probably to them, these are simply a pieces of clothing as a high muckety - muck, they already forgotten how to count the value of things. These items if sell are indeed worth a lot of money and wealth. Vinz suggested to give it away to the needful or customers, and he would pay the equivalent amounts of these items to Linsky but although he insisted, Meeara disagreed with the idea. He dislikes that Meeara is still focusing on Linsky."

"Hey Vinz, if you are hesitate to do it, no worries, it's alright with me. Sorry for asking a favor though."

"Okay princess, whatever you say. I'll hand over this paper bag to him, okay" And he smiled.

Behind this bag, she had asked Lugi to return these before but she was flabbergasted knowing Linsky sent back it more than a week ago. She thought it was just another package for the anonymous person. But yesterday upon opening the package. Inside the small paper bag were the marketable items she returned and the note included, saying,

I believe these are yours. Did you know it suited you perfectly? I can still recalled how you looked on that dress."

Meeara felt mixed emotions upon reading the letter. Then, just this afternoon, Vinz confessed to her. She doesn't want to be unfair. She knew in her heart she would not want to hurt Vinz. She hopes everything should fall into places.

On the evening the shop is closed at seven (7) in the evening. Vinz dropped them home.

"Goodnight my princess." He gently kissed her hand.

Thump,thump..

"Goodnight too. Please, drive home safely okay." she waved him goodbye.

When Vinz was gone. Meeara and her mother had in-depth conversation. her mother approved Vinz as a suitor, told noticeable remarks and good points about him. Wherein she has agreed with. Her mother initiated he might be the right one for her.

"Mom, what if I'll follow my own heart and I've chosen to love a wrong person, and ended up being hurt again?"

"Loving someone isn't a crime my daughter.

Free yourself. Only by then you would find an answers to your questions." Her mother answered in such a way that it seemed easy but based on her own experience. Loving can be serpentine. Her mom was lucky enough to had her dad, as she recalled her parents had not expostulated infront of her. They used to love one other so faithfully and admirely.

Vinz on his way home.

*Over the phone*

"Sorry Linsky, you have missed calls What is the urgent things you need?

"What subterfuge you are into? Do you really want to put a fight over me? Are you sure of yourself?" An authoritative voice. His actions infuriated him. Linsky was quite fast as usual.

He couldn't agree more to Linsky. He is a bachelor without any commitment to put that on records. There was nothing wrong.

"Leave her Vinz."

"Linsky sorry, I love her. I should talk to you in person. She is mine." Vinz ended the call.

Linsky is equally eminent to him but should he give up Meeara for him? It would be too unfair especially, he only utilized women. Take them for granted and now Meeara. The truth, he tried to forget Meeara couple of times because Linsky needed Meeara for his plan.

At the Zu Mansion.

His grandfather Dowan was a former politician and respected business typoon. Their businesses involve in the manufacturing, supermarkets and exportation. Their market shares are closely to Luong family.

Vinz grandfather entered inside the study room as he seemed problematic. They discussed family businesses, current events, school and lovelife. His grandfather wants to meet the girl he was mentioning to him. But in time, when Meeara is ready. Later, they finished a bottle of Remy Martin Xo.

He respected Linsky. But what does wants, why Linsky couldn't let him to have this girl? Will their be a rival? Does Meeara is really worthy for this? All this time, he only follows Linsky. Looks after his welfare as a brother. Now, Linsky was becoming selfish who couldn't favor him just once.

It might be a strenuous rivalry between the two. At Linsky advantages since from the start Meeara likes Linsky. Forsooth, this was the first time he wanted something the most. He wanted someone so badly. In almost anything it was okay for him to be on the second spot. He was contented to be a shadow of Linsky. But this time, it would be different story.

Tomorrow, he needs to speak with Linsky to do not disturb Meeara again.

Vinz needs to be ready to the consequences of loving Meeara. But no matter what will happen ed. He is determined and decided this war already.
