Chapter 1
"Micaella Hydio, you need to accept it, asap. I don't want to wait. You know that. So by tomorrow, I hope you have an answer about my offer."
I nodded at what Auntie Edelyn, one of my business administration employers, had said. I worked for her as an employee. In the Peter Lacson Company that she owned.
"Please give me two days to think. I need to think hard about it. Before I would involve to a war."
She immediately nodded at what I said. "Okay, just call me right away when you have a decision."
"Yes, ma'am. By the way, Aunt Edelyn." I said then I smiled at her and winked.
Yes, she's my auntie. My mommy and she are siblings. So we don’t get away from each other. I worked for her company so that I could be trained in running our own company before it handed to me, which is still managed by my parents.
"You can leave now, thanks again. Mica,” she said and smiled back at me.
"Thanks, Aunt. Bye!"
I even waved at her before I picked up a folder from her desk. I bit my lip as I went to the door to get out. When I got out I stared at a man's profile which was contained in the folder I was holding.
I shook my head and curse in the back of my mind. This person is the one I am avoiding. Now, I was drawn closer to him, with so many Aficionado Boys why did he even come to me? I just gasped in the air and took a deep breath. I need to face him so that I can talk to him too and apologize. When I left him then and when I broke his heart.
Edward Tyron one of the 8th Aficionado Boys. Get ready, for our next meeting. This is going to be the worst.

"Are you sure of the decision you made, Mica?" Delia asked me in surprise when I told her my full decision on Aunt Edelyn's offer.
I am here now at her house while we watching a movie.
Delia is my best friend. I also consider her as my sister, so I can tell her all my secrets and experiences. I was blown away when I heard her question. Then she was tortured.
"Do I look like joking ?"
"No? Yes?" She replied with forehead creased. I suddenly threw popcorn at her that I was going to eat.
"Get over there! Let's go!" I threatened her. Se stared at me.
"But, seriously. Will you accept?" She asked again.
I put down the popcorn I was holding and turned and stared at her carefully, then took a deep breath.
"Yes, I'm sure I'll accept my aunt's offer. Because this is the only way for me to finish working at their company. This is the only key." I answered seriously while staring at her deeply.
Delia suddenly nodded at my answer and narrow her eyes.
"But friend, what if that guy doesn't notice you? Remember, that's one of the Aficionado Boys."
I also thought about Delia's conflict. I also thought deeply. Sure, what if that man ignores me? What will happen to me?
"Tss .. I'll take care of it. I'll just get his approval." I said out loud as confidence perched on my chest.
"Why is it that your aunt assigned Edward to you, even though there are many Aficionado Boys?" Delia said angrily as she was licking the popcorn in her mouth.
"I'm sure, that aunt of yours is planning something. She's going to torture you first before you get fired from her company." She added. I suddenly kicked her.
"Probably! She always tortured me then. Besides, Mama and Papa also ordered her to do that. She just obeyed."
"You have to beat me? You're a good friend, huh?" She said angrily at the same time rolled her eyes.
"See you again, Edward Tyron. One of the Aficionado Boys."
"Your nerd boyfriend used to, I'm sure until now, he's still a nerd," Delia said suddenly so I turned and stared at her.
"He's a nerd, so I've regretted playing with his feelings before."
"Wow? Is that you, Micaella Hydio?"
"Yeah, it's still me! I'll hit you there!" I threatened as I looked at her wickedly.
"Ah, that's it! Just good luck!"
"I'm the luck! Delia! I am!" I told her with confidence as I smiled looking at the Aficionado Boys magazine. There is no picture of Edward, so I'm sure he's still a nerd.
See you soon, Edward Tyron.
"PLEASE accept my offer to you, Mica. I don't regret giving it to you." Aunt Edelyn greeted me with a smile.
As if what she did and the offer she gave me was satisfactory? I would still be happy. But it's okay, I can apologize to the nerd and weak Edward Tyron.
"I need to finish the job you assigned to me and I need to leave so that I can work for our company." I had a litany while staring at her.
"Then, good luck to you, Mica. I hope you get Mr. Edward Tyron's approval right away." She smiled and said as if challenging.
Seriously? Is she my aunt or not? Where is her side? To me or Edward?
Just trust, Mica. Just trust.
"Well, of course, auntie. I'll get Mr. Edward Tyron's approval right away, me too." I smiled in response to her.
"Then, let see, if you do that."
I really can. I know Edward, weaknesses. If I am lucky again.
