Alexandrew's POV
I wasn't able to see her clearly but I'm pretty sure she resembles someone who is dear to me. . I mean, someone I shouldn't be mentioning at all. Jeez.
Talking to my sister in the Philippines who is probably preparing for my grand arrival. Just kidding. She's actually sorting things out for easier review.
"Brother! Gosh. I missed you so much." That's my sister giving me a tight hug.
"Andrea, you act as if we don't call each other every night. I missed you too sis."
She's managing my business here in the Philippines for a while, at the same time she's studying to pass the bar exam. I would like to have a private attorney in the future but I will be happy in whatever she wants to choose as her career.
"So, what do you think of opening up a new branch of restaurant in South Korea? Or let us just expand our restaurants here in the Philippines?" I am still undecided with my next move since I am busy handling our company but nothing that I can't manage.
"Alex, if you will let me manage the one in Korea I will say pass to that. We can improve our utilities here and we'll check for further prospects before we step into a higher ground."
"I could see your point Andrea. I'll think about your proposal. It is already 3:43 in the afternoon, I remembered that you have an appointment with your friends."
"Oh yes! I almost forgot. Well, I'll leave you for now brotha! Let's have dinner later. What do you think?"
"Sure. Bye."
I started to start my rounds to our main restaurant which is located on the center of the Philippines. I really wanted to do more to my restaurants.
When I saw the interior of the restaurant, I decided to change the lighting in some areas and add something chilling that will make costumers admire this place.
I thought of the same things when I checked the rest of my restaurants. Glancing to my watch, I remembered that I have a date with my sister.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bro, meet me up at French Cuisine. You know that place right? If you don't, just tell your driver."
She ended the call right after the last word of her instructions. I thank myself for hiring a Filipino driver who is also the driver of my sister.

After 5 days of my trip, I am back now to business. I mean, my company business. I have settled also that I will have some employees to check the progress in the Philippines. This is a start for progress, whether upgrading my restaurants or building a new one with a twist.
"Welcome back, sir. I am just going to remind you about the social gathering later this evening."
"Thank you Ms. Baek. Don't forget that you are also going with me."
"Of course sir."
I really can't stop admiring her for being hardworking. Don't get me wrong, I see her as a sister but in a professional way. She is in the same age as my sister.
When I entered the hall, I was greeted by different businessmen in London. It is a little bit shocking for me since this is my first time to attend a social gathering. Presenting myself as Alexandrew West which made other people shocked. Others knew me but with a different surname. I'll care to tell you about next time.
Yedin's POV
I am not really used to this kind of social gathering. Very formal. Mr. West, allowed me to socialize on my own but he told me I should be back before the formal dinner starts.
"Ms. Hustens?" She was facing her back and turned to where the voice was coming from. "I knew it. Good evening ma'am."
"Please call me Vale. You're such a darling, don't you know that?" She laughed after giving me a hug. Her laugh, I assure you, can make any guy fall for her.
"Alright. Ms - I mean Vale, my boss is actually here. I think this would be the right time to meet him."
"That would be lovely. I'll just go to the comfort room, I'll look for you afterwards."
I looked for my boss around the area but I didn't spot him. That is why I decided to continue socializing while waiting for Vale to come back.
Few minutes later, I saw my boss approaching me. Is it just me or the lighting around the area, his eyes are speaking of anger and disappointment which I am not pretty sure if what I've seen is right.
"We're leaving. ."
"But sir, I would like you to meet Ms. Vale. . "
"I've had enough for the night. If you want to stay, then you can stay but I'm going."
"Wait sir. I'm going with you."
