No one is perfect, so the saying goes.
However, you're completely wrong.
Lenard Alfonzo Zabini III, Crown Prince of Clemente, is a perfect human being in every way. He was destined to rule the richest kingdom in Asia, and his intellect and charm we...
"Your Highness, thank heavens you've returned," agad na bungad ni Mr. Domingo, his Personal Secretary, pagpasok pa lang niya sa mansyon. Mabilis ang hakbang nito papunta sa kanya habang hawak ang wireless phone.
Agad itong nilingon ni Lenard. He chuckled, natawa sa ekspresyon ng mukha nito. Mr. Domingo looked pissed and frustrated.
He has been working for him for eight years. Mas matanda ito ng sampung taon sa kanya at itinuturing niya ito na parang nakatatandang kapatid. Mahaba ang pasensya ng sekretarya niya sa trabaho kahit gaano ka hectic at ka toxic man ang sitwasyon. However, there was one thing his secretary couldn't tolerate: Lenard's women.
"What is it this time, Mr. Domingo?" he asked as he removed the golf gloves from his wrists. Katatapos niya lang makipaglaro ng golf kasama ang mga kaibigan. He had specifically told Mr. Domingo not to disturb him since it had been a while since they last had the chance to play the sport.
Magalang na yumuko ito sa kanyang harapan bilang paggalang. He shook his head, letting out a loud, exasperated sigh. "My apologies, Your Majesty, but Miss Olivia Parkinson has been incessantly calling every five minutes, desperate to check on you. And if that weren't enough, nine other women have phoned in, each claiming to be your girlfriend. They're all eagerly demanding to know when you'll grace them with your presence again." Mahaba nitong paliwanag at ngumiti nang tabingi. Halatang aburido.
Napangisi si Lenard. Of course Mr. Domingo can't be mad at him. It's a part of his job. Napabuntong siya. Nah... Women! That's exactly why he avoids getting serious with any of his exes. He finds most women to be annoyingly sentimental and demanding. The ones he's dated are overly dependent, too clingy, and seemingly incapable of handling even the simplest things without his assistance.
He longs for a woman who exudes self-assurance and strength, someone who is kind-hearted yet resilient. A woman who values tradition but also has a spark of spontaneity that makes life vibrant and extraordinary. She should possess the confidence to speak her mind, unafraid to challenge him, and feel at ease in his presence, creating a sense of harmony and excitement.
He'd never encountered anyone quite like her before—well, perhaps he had. The memory of that stubborn and infuriating woman from the market suddenly flashed in his mind. That was the first and only time a woman had hurled insults at him—and a slipper too. She didn't care about his noble lineage or high standing. Her fearless attitude intrigued him, and he couldn't help but find her kind of... cute, especially when she was mad.
Whoa! That's a first—he actually just complimented a girl! Whew!

Confident, free-spirited, and completely unafraid of him? And, well, he can't deny that she's quite attractive. Her face is still etched in his memory, especially those captivating emerald eyes—so rare and utterly mesmerizing.
Nakakatawa dahil minsan pag naiisip niya ito ay napapangiti siya, pinukaw talaga ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang attention. Di niya alam ang dahilan ngunit madalas niya itong naaalala. To be honest, gusto niya ulit itong makita. Napailing siya at napatawa nang mahina sa naisip.
