"Courting a girl without her knowing?" Someone speak out from Sancho's behind.

"What are you doing in my house Raphael?" Sandro asks his 5-year younger brother after closing his laptop in a matter of seconds and turns around with that signature poker face of his.

"Wow! How is that even possible?" Raphael said astonished instead of answering his question.

"Are you somewhat acting like a creepy stalker brother. You're weird, you know." He said as a matter-of-fact rather than as a question.

" And here I am thinking of you to be someone who's better than that." He continues with a teasing tone in his voice.

Raphael has been the ball of sunshine of the three brothers. The well-known mama's boy by family and relatives and known by many as the "Hot-Chef Montague". He is a prominent chef who owns the grand restaurants all over the globe. He got his excellent cooking from his mother.

"What are you really doing here Raphael?" Sancho asks again with that seriousness in his voice to conceal the embarrassment he feels. Raphael, on the other hand, sense his brother's humorless voice answers earnestly.

"Well, I was just supposed to be here to convey mom's message for you. She wants you to come home for dinner this Friday. She misses you so much you know. You barely come home and even gives out unnecessary reasons just not to eat dinner with us."  Raphael said with that a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"And guess what, to my surprise I discover something way more interesting than just seeing your boring face brother." He continues with that cheerful attitude back again.

"Searching how to court a girl without her knowing it. Such a lousy move you've got there brother." He said then laughing loudly afterwards.

Sancho who can't stop his brother from teasing him just stand there looking at him with a master plan going on his mind on how to assassinate his sneaky little brother.

"I'm not going Raphael. I have a flight this coming Friday." Sancho said after awhile.

"Okay." He said immediately while shrugging his shoulder as if he already expected that from him.
Raphael has understand his brothers' behavior not to eat with them. It's because of his father who never stops pestering him about him helping their older brother Nicholas in managing their empire.

"So if you're really not coming and there is nothing I can do to make you change your mind, then fine. Now it gives me the honor of sharing this interesting dirty little secret of yours brother to the whole family. I'm pretty sure mom would be so ecstatic to learn about this. Then you'll gonna be the laughingstock of the family for the coming next generations since you know, mom just can't stop her mouth when it comes to sharing this kind of things to our relatives in every party."

Just at that instant Sancho run-over Raphael and they both feel on his carpeted floor. Raphael instead of feeling fear towards Sancho just laugh out loud as if he's enjoying every inch of the situation. He feels so happy that finally he got a reaction from Sancho which is a rare thing from him, which makes him known by everyone as the "Stiff-secluded Montague".

"Oh come on brother, why won't you come to dinner just this once and I promise not to tell a single soul about that secret of ours. We just miss you okay especially I. I miss you big brother." Raphael state with defeats in his voice. Sancho immediately stands up and turn his back from his brother.

"I'm coming."

Then walks away to his room without caring about Raphael who has now a huge grin on his face for successfully letting his brother come home for dinner.

Sancho is now heading to the airport for his 1300hr flight to Madrid, Spain. He stops his car cause it's red light when he notices a small store that says "Florence Flowers". After the traffic light turns green, he park his car on the side and goes to the flower shop that caught his attention. When he opens the door, the door bell chimed. He saw an old woman who seems to be so engross with what she's doing that she never notice him coming in, she's standing directly from him with her back turning away from him.

He clears his throat to caught the old woman's attention. She turns around slowly quite unsure if she hears exactly right.

"Oh! What a good-looking soul we have here. What can I do for you son?” the old woman exclaims with delight in her eyes.

"I am just wondering if you could deliver a flower to this particular place?" Sancho explains while giving her the exact address.

"Of course, I can. Is that all you need?"

"Yes please." He answers with a small smile on his lips and gives the payment and started to walk away when he hears the old woman speak.

"Son, just a little advice from an old folk. I hope the next time you come here, it would be in the morning and not on the middle of the day. Girls tend to love receiving flowers early in the morning as a sign of a great day ahead." She said with that beautiful smile on her face.

Sancho just nodded and leave with the idea imprinted in his mind; morning, perfect time for sending flowers.

"Wow, white roses and white lilies in a high peak of the day." Diana utters when she instantly saw the well-arranged white roses and white lilies in a glass pot on Camilla's table.

"Oh, shut up Diana. Not now." Camilla answers while rolling her eyes.

"What? What a weird admirer you have here. No message? Weirder." Diana mutter when she did not see any message attached to the flowers.

"Let's go Diana." Camilla said while dragging Diana out of her office.

"Alex can you please put that flowers on the side table in my office and take your lunch afterwards. Thank you." Camilla instructed with a small smile on her face before going out.

"Noted doc."

"Who might have sent you that beautiful flowers?"

"I really don't know Diana and I'm just not in the mood to care."

"Oh, quite in a bad mood huh. What's wrong Lil' sis?"

"Nothing really. I'm just starving so can we just please hurry now."

"Okay, let's go." Diana answers with that unconvinced look on her face. There must be something bothering her best friend at the moment and she'll gonna find out soon.
