A few weeks ago
Sean arrived at the apartment from school, their semester just ended, and he is ready for a vacation. But her sister was packing quickly, "Ate Cindy, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly, "Mama got into the hospital, she needs to be taken care of." Cindy explained, "How about your work?" Sean asked, "I don't know… I have to take care of it from home, I guess…" She said with hesitation, "What can I do to help?" Sean asked worriedly, "How about I help you take care of Mama?" He continued, "Sean… how about you pretend to be me? You look like me, and you can imitate my voice. How about we do that? You continue to work as me, since you already know what I do for work… losing my job is a big risk but why don't we try?" Cindy ask as he holds his hand, "Ok Ate… I'll try my best" Sean said, he understood he have to do something for his sister and mother, "You can use my spare make up and my clothes… I trust you keep this house and our things cleaned, do you understand?" Cindy asked, "Okay, Ate, I'll keep that in mind." Sean responded and hugged his sister.
After his sister left, he put on the makeup, and he practiced so that he could copy his sister's signature look. As he finished, he put on a waist-length purple wig similar to Cindy's and he took a picture and sent it to Cindy, "Why send a photo of me?" Cindy asks, "That's me… I put on makeup and wig," Sean explained, "What?!! That is you?" Cindy exclaimed over the phone, "Yeah". The next day, Sean went to the company. He bumped into Skyler, he felt awkward as he saw Skyler, 'what should I do? What if he notices?' he said to himself. I took a glance at him and proceeded to the elevator. Skyler went in first he followed, "Good morning sir…" Sean's voice went higher than her sister's voice, "Are you hitting falsetto?" Skyler asked, "No, sir… just had a pitchy morning" Sean explained, "Okay… how was the project?" He asked while looking at his phone, "It was fine" Sean replied, "Fine? I need details not just fine…" Skyler raised his eyebrow and glared at him, he just fixed his bangs, and as soon as the elevator door opened Skyler came out, "I need a full report later!" Skyler said and headed to his office, Sean went in, in the comfort room, "Cindy! What are you doing here?!" Skyler asked he looked surprised, Sean realised he is pretending to be Cindy, "Uhmm… well… I'm sorry" Sean went out, and proceed to the female bathroom but he even felt more awkward, as the women greeted him. 'I just wanna bury myself in the ground,' he said to himself. He looked at the files in his sister's office computer and studied everything, and finally he was able to understand everything and proceed to create the report.
He felt relieved after finishing the report and that Skyler was satisfied. As the day passed and Skyler asked him on a date, he was nervous as if he is being held captive in a cell, of judgment and awkwardness, what do male and female do during a date, do they even do something afterwards, Sean walks back and forth, he wants to ask his sister, but he struggle to even say a single thing about this date, firstly, he doesn't know if his sister has a boyfriend or none, or is she even interested on her boss, he thought of a plan that he will reject him, and afterwards get on with his life, but he realized he is pretending to be his sister so how can he possibly reject his sister's boss, if he rejected the boss, would he fire his sister? Sean became anxious, he decided to ask his sister if she likes his boss romantically, if not, then he will reject him.
He finally calls his sister as soon as he reaches home, "Ate, do you by chance like your boss romantically or no?" he asked, "Are you kidding me? Are you serious? *laughs* he is the least person that I like *laughs* Why do you even ask?" Cindy asked, still laughing, "Just a curious question, why else would I ask you?" Sean awkwardly laughed. He ended the phone call, now he seeks a reason to reject him.
The next day
"Cindy, how is the prep for the launch?" Skyler asked,
"Well, we already had a review, and we are ready for launch," Sean explained,
"Good!" Skyler went to the conference room to have a meeting with Kean,
The launch was around the corner, but then Sean felt his stomach in pain, and Skyler saw him struggling,
"Cindy? Are you okay?" Skyler asked,
"My stomach hurts," Sean said, and immediately, Skyler bought a menstrual pain reliever. he gave it to Sean.
"What is this?" Sean asked in confusion, "Don't you need it?" Skyler asked, "No, I don't need it, I have to go to the bathroom." Sean dashed to the bathroom, and when he finally reached, he felt relieved, "Next time, no more milk and cheese, too much dairy…" he went out feeling relieved. Skyler was waiting outside. "Are you alright? Do you need anything?" Skyler set aside his hair and wiped the sweat on Sean's forehead. Sean blushed and looked away, and Skyler just grins. "Are you sure you are alright? You can go home, and when you feel better, you can come back" Skyler's offer, "I'm good… just got too much dairy…" Sean said awkwardly, Skyler chuckles with his deep voice, "Then less on dairy next time, okay?" Skyler purrs as he holds his shoulder. In his eyes, Sean is Cindy, but in Sean's eyes, he is the guy who makes his heart flutter. The launch proceeds and everyone was excited as they introduced the games and Skyler can't take his eyes off Sean, or rather Cindy, Sean can't help but look away, he received a text from his friend and classmate Lemon Avery Lucroix, also an Architect student.
Lemon: The release of the game from SkyMaze is here!!! Are you downloading it already?
Sean: Yeah, already did, it's pretty cool, isn't it?
Lemon: Totally, I'll see you next time, okay?
Sean: Sure…
Sean didn't notice he was smiling while texting Lemon. Skyler approached him from behind, and when Sean felt someone was behind him, he looked and was startled to see Skyler, "Ah!" Sean jolts, "Can't you do that?" Sean said, holding his chest, and he felt his fake boob fall. Good thing he caught it in his hand while still inside his shirt, "Are you okay? Did your strap fall off? Do you need help?" Sean became more flustered and was surprised, "No!" he yelled at his face and ran to the bathroom, but he stopped, as he caught his hand, "I'm sorry, did I upset you? I don't like it when you're upset. Tell me what made you upset?" Skyler asked, Sean can't help but soften as he sees his sincerity, "I need to go to the bathroom…" Sean said, and Skyler let his hand go, and Sean felt so confused, there was only one man who could make him blush like this, and it was Lemon. He quickly fixed his fake boob, as he got back to the event, he saw Skyler talking with someone, he felt a hint of jealousy, he suddenly realized what he had just thought of, he then dismissed it and went back. He completely ignores him, he just continued to assist his team.
