It has been a dizzying and yet exciting three weeks since Vice and Karylle started seeing each other in secret. Vice had stayed at the Madrigal hotel in Cebu even after the Binibining Pilipinas pageant had ended. His friends were left wondering why Vice suddenly decided to change his plans and stay a few more weeks in Cebu. May mga important business meetings ito sa Manila but Vice decided to let Beshie handle them on his behalf. Vice's beki friends had already left and went back to the main office in Manila to take care of business there.
The new couple had decided na sa hotel mag stay si Vice while Karylle will stay at her mom Isabelle's residence in Cebu para hindi mahalata. They both decided to take things slow muna and find the right time to let their respective families and close friends know about their relationship.
Vice wanted na mapakilala na agad niya sa kanyang nanay si Karylle kaso lumipad na pabalik ng Manila si Aling Rosa. He decided to wait until such time na makabalik na sila pareho ni Kay sa Manila. Now, finding the right moment to let his beki friends know about Karylle is a whole different story. Nahihirapan siya na maghanap ng tiyempo. He is also at a loss kung paano ipapakilala si Kay sa kanila. Matanggap kaya nila si Kay at yung pagbabago sa pagkatao niya?
Karylle, on the other hand, while feeling so giddy and happy because of her new found love, she could not deny that there's that small voice at the deepest recesses of her mind telling her to reconsider and think hard about her situation. After all, she's no longer a lovesick teenager but a grown woman now with big shoes to fill sa Madrigal company na pagmamay-ari ng kanyang pamilya. Siya lang naman ang expected na magiging susunod na Presidente o Chairman ng pinaka-malaking real estate company ng bansa. She was worried about how her family would react once they learn about her relationship with Vice. It is not about her family being "matapobre" but it is expected that she will marry someone within their inner business circle or someone who belongs to a well respected, highly esteemed, ultra rich upper echelon of society. She is tied to a fate wherein she had few choices in life when it comes to marriage. She had tried her luck in delaying and dodging her quite unfortunate circumstance in life but her time is almost up...in her mid-thirties, she's already way past the marrying age. Her mom, Isabelle, had already made it her new mission now to find her a suitable husband 'aka' business partner.
She was standing near the floor length windows of her office overlooking the city on the tenth floor of Madrigal Hotel. She was looking at the distant and yet beautiful sight of city lights below her. It's already seven in the evening. She let out a sigh as she thought about Vice, her love for him and her predicament. Just then, arms encircled her waist as Vice approach her from behind, gently pulled her towards him and gave her a small kiss on her neck.
She knew it was him because of that all too familiar scent he wears which she loves.
Karylle : How was your day?
Vice : Wait...don't I deserve a response to this? (Vice kissed her once more, this time kissing her shoulder.) Bummer, I thought I'd come in as a surprise. I managed to let your secretary, Anne, let me sneak inside your office but darn it, you already knew it was me even without looking. You didn't even act quite surprised. I'm so disappointed at myself. (He then slowly turned her around to face him, took her hand and led her to an office table nearby. He lifted her up and sat her on top of it and gave her his full, undivided attention. Vice gave her a naughty wink and gave her a quick peck on her partly open lips.) I missed you. I kept thinking about you all day today.
Karylle looked intently at Vice's face, gave him a wan smile and without a word hugged him tight burrowing her face on Vice's chest.
Vice : (worried) Kay, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is there something bothering you?
