She left her daughter in the house with Ethan she is really comfortable in there already and also with the people.Maine and Ethan wasn't talking to each other for a long time already

Today Maine will meet her partner in work she will be doing a magazine cover. She doesn't have an idea about her partner. She went to the building and the presentation has already started it was really dark she just sat with her team and listen about the magazines theme

"Te Pat,when mag s-start mg shoot?" Maine whispered

"Bukas na siguro"

When the staffs and crew were already told about the theme and some stuffs. The operator opened the light and Maine went to the director to greet .
She was also greeted by the others.

"Im glad you made it,do you like the theme?"

"Just like always Direk,I love working with you" Maine answered

"and,I miss working with you Ms.Maine Mendoza" she hug her fav Director in directing magazines

Maine was all smiling at the people around when she saw Richard her heart drop and eyes widened.

"Maine!"

She heard her name,she then turned back and walk slowly to make it not obvious. But,the host announced her name

"It's been 3 years,but now she will be working with us again! Please welcome Maine Mendoza! na late eh"

She closed her eyes and take a breath deeply. She turned to face the people and wave.

"Alden,si Maine you know each other diba?" The director spoke

Richard was about to say YES bur Maine interrupt

"No,it's actually my first time to meet him. Nice meeting you,Alden" she handed her hand.

Richard touch his hand again after 3 years. He wants to ask her.Hug her.Kiss.her. but he just can't. Richards heart was pinch when Maine said "Alden" and not his real name. And denying that she doesn't know him before he became an artist

"Oo..kay" the director seems to be confused. Maine then pulled her hand away from him

"Excuse me"

Maine run to her team and went outside

"What the hell is this?! Si Rj?!" Maine yelled

"Maine,We're sorry but"

"Okay guys Im sorry,alam kong di niyo kasalan pero, pano ko magagawa ng maayos tong project nato?!"

They were talking outside. Maine excuse herself for a moment and went inside the cr. She bun her hair up and washed her face. She look at the mirror. Why is this happening? She ask herself.

"Maine" someone entered the room and it was Rj

"Alden,nasa kabala yung cr sa boys" Richard then hold her arms gently

"Maine,please stop pretending! Nasasaktan ako" he said. Her eyebrow raise. She slam his arm away and step backward

"Bakit? Ikaw lang ba nasasaktan dito?!" She shouted

"Nagbago na ako Alden at sigurado ako ikaw rin"

"Maine,I don't think so, I can't see it"

"Alden just stop! I want to do this project clean. Ayaw kong may makaalam sa relasyon natin,dati."

"Please,let's just pretend were just strangers, don't you dare flirt with me" she calmly said

"No! Maine! I can't do that!"

"Do it for me,Rj.please" she walk ayaw but before closing the door she spoke

"Ayaw ko ng scandalo. Please let Beatrice know this at i explain mo sakanya ng maayos bago niya ako sugurin,tska tapos na tayo,at matagal na yun,siya na ngayon"

She leave Richard in the cr. Sinabi niya yun lahat alam niyang mali pero mas nagiging madali tangapin ni Rj kung ganon. She left him crying Leysam then pick him up in the room when he noticed Maine went outside alsmot crying
