"OKAY, you have lunch with Mr. Chris from JY Company, then you have meeting with board of directors at 2 p.m. Ah, don't forget you have dinner with your parents in Manila Hotel tonight," with a small notepad in hand, Nadine explained the schedule to Bret. He sighed heavily after heard and put his chin on the table, his fingers spun the pen between index finger and middle finger.

"Hurm, schedule packed again," his pouty face made she chuckled in amuse and closing the notepad, she quickly added before Bret could say something.

"Ah, you can't cancel any of these meetings," Bret's mouth parted when she seemed know that he was about to ask her to rearrange his schedule, and how could he forgot that she had become his secretary for three years.

"Miss Nadine Lustre, how can you read my mind so easily?" he asked in playfull tone with eyes glued at her beautiful face.

"Mr.Bret, please don't forget that I've known you for five years," her statement made his smile turned wider, and he hit his forehead in embarrassment. They had been known each other in Japan since five years ago, but he still couldn't understand her as much as she understood about him.

"Alright, I got it. You may dismiss now," he straightened his body before leaned against the chair. Nadine pushed a cup of hot coffee that she made just now toward him before left the room. Nadine pushed a cup of coffee in front him before she left his room. After she returned to her place and continued her job, suddenly the two figures appeared in front her while she was busy checking Bret's schedule for tomorrow.

"Miss Nadine,"

"Yes, may I..," Nadine lost her words when she lifted up her face as she surprised saw two persons that she hadn't seen for five years were in front here right now. They were a part of her past that she never could erase it from her mind.

"Tita...Tito...," she stuttered as tears already formed in her eyes and nothing more escaped from her mouth when her slim body was inside Mrs.Tania's embrace. Then the small sobbing from that old woman hit her eardrum, and her sight slowly shifted to Mr.Malcom whom looked at her at that moment.

"Glad to see you again, Nadz," he smiled at her, which made Nadine believed that she wasn't dreaming. Although they were the person that she tried to avoid to meet with, but seeing them once again after five years made her felt really grateful. She was too immerse in that scene until didn't realize Bret had walked out from his room.

"Nadz, I...," Bret lost words watched that scene, especially when Nadine tried to soothe the old woman that cried inside her embrace. Then his eyes landed on old man next to them, which made his forehead creased as he tried to remember that person. Bret had encountered with him before this.

"Mr.Reid, is that you?" he asked as he approached him with slow steps.

"Yes, Bret. Glad you still remember about me,"

"Oh my God! Tito Malcom, it is really you," he said excitedly and quickly hugged him, as they hadn't seen each other for seven years since he pursued the study in Japan.

"Do you guys know each other?" Nadine looked at them dumbly after she broke the hug, causing Bret's smile turned wider when she asked so.

"Of course I know him, Nadz. He is one of my father's friends," the answer from him made her lips parted in surprise, for she didn't know at all that Jackson and Reidknew each other.

"Anyway, what are you guys doing here?" he asked in curious, especially when Mrs.Tania was also here. Mr.Malcom cleared his throat as he glanced at Nadine who already dropped her face.
