Their lips immediately parted and they turned around in shock and recognized the person who entered.
They saw the sadness in Karen's eyes, while her mouth was hanging open and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"W-what is the meaning of this...
It's been one week since I stayed with Tim and one week since I accepted this job. I know it's not easy because I admit that my heart is slowly falling for his daughter. I felt fear in my heart. That I might fall into the trap. Especially now and it seems that Tim's treatment of me is not the same as before. I noticed that he often talks to me and annoys me. Before, he didn't care about me, but now he always pay attention to me. Well maybe because I also live with them.
I went home my parents because I had nothing else to do at Tim's house and I was alone. Because Sophie is at school and Tim is at work. Maybe I'll come back on a pleasant afternoon. Have I told you the rest of my story in life Well not yet right?
I grew up as a loner kid. My parents always busy in businesses, which is the ultimate problem I'm going through, they don't pay much attention to. Just like when Tim and I got a divorce, They doesn't have care at all. They don't say hi to me, asking if I'm okay. I don't have a siblings because I am their only child.
It's sad to think that I'm just like air in front of them. But I endure all of that! even though it hurts to think that they don't care about how I feel. When I looked at them, it was as if they had forgotten that they had a daughter.
I smiled bitterly as I arrived at the house.
As usual, I'm with maids again because my parents are always busy and sometimes it takes a long time before they come home from their business trip.
"Thank God you're finally here ma'am Karen."
Sisa one of our maids greeted me.
"What's up Sisa?"
I said.
"You have a visitor ma'am. It's been two days since he came back here and he's inside."
I frowned.
"Huh? who and what does he need from me?"
I said in confused.
"His name is John, ma'am."
My eyes widened in shock.
John? he's here in the Philippines?
I followed Sisa to the living room and there was a man with his back sitting on the sofa.

"John?"
I called his name causing him to turn.
"Rena?"
John said happily, he immediately came to me and hugged me.
Only John calls me Rena since my real name is Karena.
"How did you find my address?"
He grinned at me.
"I've told you that I can really find you in the Philippines no matter where you hide."
I blinked
John is my close friend in the states and we live next door there. He's not just a man! He comes from a rich family and John is a famous Racer in the states.
"What are you doing here in the Philippines?"
I asked.
"I'm here for vacation and I'm surprised that people here are so kind."
"And I'm here to find you."
He added.
"Wh-what?"
I stammered
"The reason why I came here Rena. It's because of you."
He said seriously.
John flirted with me once in the states but I didn't mind him. I know that he is a playboy and he is also known as a womanizer.
"What do you mean?"
I rolled my eyeballs.
"I want to be a man. I like you Rena."
My jaw dropped at what he said.
John is pure American.
"What the hell John? Don't fool me, I know you."
I said laughing
"No, I'm serious Rena since you left I can't get you out of my mind."
He looked me in the eye.
"John I don't have time to joke with you."
He hold my hands.
"Please consider my feelings for you. I have changed. I'm now yours Rena."
I see the sincerity of his blue eyes.
"I'll think about it John."
I said and I didn't want our conversation to go longer. I know that he will not stop.
Should I give him a chance?
Honestly, John is really handsome. Of course He is American blood plus His body is well built just like Tim.
John stayed at our house for a while. I tried to change the topic every time he started talking about it again.
He rented an apartment in Manila because he is having a vacation here for a month.
It was afternoon when I decided to return to Tim's House. John volunteer to take me home. He also rented a car and there's no a problem with him because he's a billionaire.
But I'm not after of his wealth.
I gave him the direction and the location of the house and we used google map. His car stopped when we were in front of Tim's house.
When I got out of the car, I was surprised when John also got out.
"Is this your grandma's house?"
I lied to him because he shouldn't know my job.
"Yes, you can leave John."
I tried to pushed him a lil bit.
"What? don't you want to let me in?"
John said.
I was nervous that Tim might come suddenly.
I looked at my wrist watch and it was past five o'clock! Sophie is definitely inside.
I bit my lip and closed my eyes.
"John please you need to go now. I'll message you."
John shrugged and nodded
"Okay, I'll call you on Viber once I get back to the apartment."
He said and I was stunned when he suddenly kissed me on the cheek.
He winked at me before he entered the car.
John disappeared from my sight but I couldn't move and I was still standing.
"You."
I jumped in shock when I heard Tim's voice behind me.
