Prologue

"Congratulations Ms. Celo for being a top game designer as well as an exceptional animator." Trevor congratulates me and I really feel great about it. It was just a dream and I didn't see this one coming. I did my best and I received my reward.

I know that I deserve this.

I'm very lucky to have this opportunity despite my breakdown a year ago, I honestly didn't see this coming, so I'm beyond grateful. For the people who didn't give up on me and inspired me to do my best every day, I owe them my well-being. They're part of my healing and my journey towards success.

"Has he come back already? Maybe he had already found a woman to be the half of his heart in Spain." Damn! That thought kills me.

"Thank you so much boss Trevor!" I wink and give him my rare killer smile, he often says.

It's not that I'm trying to look special, but Trevor and I have been close to each other since I worked here 8 months ago. He was my wall from storms, my safe place. Yes, it sounds unprofessional and a little weird, but that's what is going on with my life.

He did pursue me, but I told him frankly that I had no feelings for him and that the special treatment I showed towards him was just for a friend and he, Trevor, being a professional man, accepted that though he still loved me. I can't afford to break that man's heart or the friendship we had.

Well, like he is far from love and he is a mature man. I find hearing that word very childish, but in a way, someone thought that they're kind of the same or maybe both are just so confusing, but what really is the difference between like and love?

Everything went busy after a simple celebration for my promotion and here I am now, dating Pixie, my computer.

"Harris? Can you please check the stats and stability for Rexos? Tell Annie too to check first the feedback of users about the new launch, warcraft 3, thanks bro." I sweetly commanded.

"Sure pretty, anyway don't forget about your promise." He reminded me once again.

It's about the portrait. I drew Trevor for his birthday present and he saw it. I can't even say no to that sweet guy. Maybe I'll start doing it at the condo later.

Message from Trevor:

Sweetheart, I want you to go with me! I had a meeting at Cydel_XW. They thought about partnership.

To Trevor:

Bro! I'm not your PA, remember?

I joked and laughed alone.

If anyone sees me here, surely they will think that I'm insane.

Trevor: Please, I need you there.

" I'm doing my job here, boss. Don't disturb me!" I replied while rolling my eyes.

"I'm the boss! You should follow me or else…"

"… else what?" I like teasing him, I could picture out his reaction right now.

"I'll marry you!"

"Laugh out loud!"

"Just kidding."

"I know!"

"Game?"

"Can I say no to you? Insert crying Lorence boss."

"But you rejected me. Anyway, you did make my day."

"You're so gay! You, pursuing me isn't a job and I can't create sun! Your day ends here.

Laugh or else I'll throw you to Mars. Be the handsome alien there."

"Just kidding! Still, I'll stay here on earth since you're here."

"Stop bluffing. Okay, just visit our department later. Byeeeee!"

After that, I turned off my phone and faced the digital pad to start making the new character of Sword Commander.

After that cool morning work hours, Trevor was there to eat lunch with me. That's not new to me though. That's also the reason why some of my co-workers envy me.

 They said so.

We ate at a cool restaurant, our usual place for lunch, since it's the nearest but also luxurious restaurant in the company.

While eating we talked about new things we did today and discussed more about the company as well as about the proposal for Texno tomorrow.

Gosh! I agree, since Raze isn't in the Philippines right now. That's called good luck.

I heard that Frazier Margenson manages the company while the real boss isn't there and that's a relief.

Later that day I woke up earlier than an ordinary day without knowing the reason. I'm disturbed and partially lost.

I can wear anything today, so I choose to wear the simplest but elegant dress in my closet.

Trevor dropped by at the house around 7:00 am since the meeting at the Texno with the owner would be around 8:00 am. 

I suddenly wanted to eat rice since I only ate pancakes and had some hot chocolate for breakfast.

"Good morning sir," the lady guard greeted him like I wasn't around, unfair!

"Mr. Dench!" A beautiful girl welcomed us and after a gesture of greetings she led the way to the CEO's office.

It's still on the 23rd floor.

"Señorito, here's Mr. Dench from Xgames with her…" she stated, talking to the man who was sitting in his swiveling chair facing backward.

He's watching at the view from the edge of the glass wall, but that view is beautifully terrifying.

"¡Buenos días, señorito" Heck! Is that Spanish?

"Good morning, Mr. Margen-- ah?" I swallowed nervously after the man turned his swiveling chair in front.

My heart's thumping really hard like it's stopping me from breathing. What in the world is happening? Even my eyes couldn't believe it, like the world betrayed me by making me come here.

"Raze?" I was shocked and almost panicked.

"Shit!" I released an incantation to free the pounding matter inside me.

"Como estas? Lorence?" Raze stated while his right eyebrow arched. That irritates me.

How are you?

"M-me?" I heard my name. What did he just say?

"Se conocen entre sí?" Trevor responded, while I'm there. I was confused because I couldn't understand them.

"Si ella era mi amante," Raze answered while his look was pierced at me. What?

I saw how Trevor made a smile and looked at me too.

Heck! I hate it. It's like I'm being sautéed.

"Please take a seat, both of you!" The boss commanded while I'm here, dying inside.

I still love him! Why? It's been a freaking year, right?

(se conocen entre sí? Mean, you know each other?

Si Ella era mi amante means Yes! She was my lover.)
