She is just an ordinary bank employee. He is a multi-millionaire client of the bank.
It all started with one bank transaction...
"I may have tried to forget him, but I can't forget what he did that night..."
"No! That's too much, Ryan!" Ana protested. "My God! What will my colleagues say about me? This is just short of giving up my job!"
"Babe, I'm not making you give up your job. All I'm asking is two weeks off from work."
"No!"
"Ana, you know what I'm capable of."
"No way, Ryan." Ana said nonchalantly. She got tired of arguing with him.
"Suit yourself, baby." Ryan stood up from the couch and head to the door. He was waiting for her to prepare for their date tonight. "Shall we?" He opened the door and waved his hand towards it.
"When are you gonna give up?" She wanted to say.
"Will you please stop calling me 'baby'? Dating you doesn't mean we have a relationship. May I remind you of that. I am just tired of you pestering me everyday. I'm not even your girlfriend."She picked up her purse and walked past him.
"Soon you will be, baby." He whispered to her ear when she passed in front of him. "Goodbye, Tita! See you later!" Ryan called out to Ana's mom. "I'll bring your daughter back in one piece."
"Enjoy guys!" Antonia hollered from the kitchen.
"Your mom loves me." Ryan said to Ana as he opens the car for her.
"I don't!" Ana answered when she sat down. "And she's just being nice to you."
"We'll see about that, babe." He was leaning too close to her as he buckled her seatbelt.

"Ryan, we're late." Ana noticed that the dinner has started when they arrived. They were attending a charity ball on behalf of his mom. That's what she has been informed about, and she was pretty sure the event will be attended by a lot bigwigs in politics and high society.
Ana wore a black off-shoulder lacy short cocktail dress for the night as Ryan was in his coat and tie. It was always Ryan who dresses her up on occasions like this. She objected on his lavish gifts, but Ryan refused to budge on pampering her.

Ryan intertwined their fingers, and led her inside. "No we're not, babe. We're just on time."
All heads turned towards them as they were being ushered to their assigned table in front, just as the master of ceremony announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, let us welcome our guests of honor, Mr. Ryan Anthony Villareal and his girlfriend, Ms. Ana Isabelle Ocampo!"
Ana was stunned. She felt rooted to her place as she stared at the host up on the stage. "Girlfriend???!!!"
She was brought back to her senses when she felt Ryan clutched her hand tightly and heard the applause from the crowd. She was smiling at them but deep inside she is seething. The animal is enjoying the moment. Ana thought as she looked at Ryan waving to the guests who later on continued with their food and constant chatting.
