Found Again

“What?”

I could see how shocked and confused Andrew is right now. Who wouldn’t?! Just months ago, I was in the same rage as he is right now and telling him to fire Anne.

I’m disappointed with another lie made by Anne but I’m not surprised anymore. I know that she has feelings for Andrew. I can’t blame her for falling for him.

Andrew was the only person who took her side when everyone was against her.

“You can’t fire her… Yet.” I said to him.

Andrew’s forehead creased. “Why can’t I fire her now?” He asked.

I turned to him and held his hand to calm him. I could still feel the rage in him. He was really angry with Anne.

“Anne was once a simple girl who had a big dream. She had every skill and talent that she needs to fulfill that dream but because of love she was robbed of that dream.” I said with full sympathy for her.

I’m not saying that what Anne did now and in the past is right and valid. I’m just saying that I understand why she did what she did.

I still feel sorry for her whenever I remember her past. I can’t imagine how painful it is for her to let go of her dream because she had no choice but to let it go.

How she tried to fight for it but still failed. How she went through those hardships alone. She had no one to talk to. No one to help her.

I wish I knew met her at that time she was going through hell. I may not be Allison Alonzo at that time but I can still be a friend to her, a friend she can count on, and a friend that will be with her as she was dealing with those shits.

And maybe by now, I already helped her fulfilling her greatest dream.

“What are you saying? How did you know that?” Andrew asked a bit suspicious.

I sighed aloud and squeeze her hand then I smiled at her.

“Anne is just a victim of people greedy for power and money.”

I decided to tell Andrew everything about Liam’s offer and side of the story.

I want Andrew to know what Anne went through that made her do those things.

“I understand and I feel sorry for her. But it doesn’t justify what she did to me. She deceived me!” Andrew said.

He is still pissed with Anne but he’s calmer now compare to a while ago.

“I know that what she went through doesn’t justify all her wrong decisions. But at least learn to understand her. What she went through is not easy. As a friend of hers, let’s be the bigger person here.” I said.

He sighed. “Fine. I will support you and Liam with your plan.”

“Really?! Omg! Thank you, baby! I’m so blessed to have you, my love!” I said while removing my seatbelt to hug him.

A month has passed since we visited my adopted family.

Everything went smoothly. My interview with Liam will be posted on my channel this week and our collaboration with their newest collection will be posted next week.

I will be flying to the US again next month with Liam. It was part of our plan to make Anne think that there was a thing between me and Liam. And we will also use this opportunity to connect Liam with my contacts in the fashion industry in the US as his biggest edge to his rival for the CEO position.

I will be meeting the group today since it’s our rest day and we’ve been so busy with work for the past weeks.

“I miss you, Alli!” It was Iya.

We hugged as soon as she saw me in the garden. She was with Vince as expected.

We are in our usual chilling spot in the mansion. The boys started to grill the meat for our bbq party. While Iya and I went to my room to change clothes.

I wore an open-back one-piece swimsuit and I partner it with a maxi skirt. While Iya wore a white halter bikini paired with a printed pareo.

“When are you planning to tell your cousin about your relationship with Vince? You told me that Vince will talk to him after our US trip but it’s been months and yet Andrew still has no idea about your relationship with Vince.” I asked after we were done changing.

I don’t want to keep a secret from Andrew. That’s why I’m asking Iya for an update. But I still can’t believe that Andrew still has no clue about his cousin and his best friend relationship.

“Vince and I are just finding the right timing,” Iya whispered.

“It’s been months Iya! And you guys are so obvious!” I whispered back.

“Sorry, but we can’t help it. We’ve been hiding our relationship with the public. So now that w is from the public eyes, we wanted to make the most of our time.” She explained.

I rolled my eyes. “If that’s the case then you need to tell it now to your cousin. He’s also as scary as the public eyes.”

I’m not angry with their PDAs. I’m just concerned for them because Andrew might not like the fact that they kept their relationship a secret to him. Andrew might question Vince’s intention on his cousin.

You can never underestimate the protectiveness of Andrew Lopez to his beloved cousin.

We were enjoying our lunch prepared by the boys but my eyes are keep on looking in Iya and Vince’s direction.

Am I the only one getting nervous about them?

I sighed and went back to my food. My paranoia might become a giveaway to Andrew. I have to control myself from overthinking.

Instead of worrying, I chose to spend time with Andrew. I need to make the most out of it because Andrew will not fly with me to the US. He has many commitments that he can’t cancel. And I needed him to be in the Philippines as I will be spending my time in the US with Liam. My time with Liam in the US is enough for Anne to suspect that something is going on between me and Liam.

“I will miss you, my love. I will finish all my commitments and try to follow you in the US.” Andrew said as we cuddle on the lounge chair.

I shook my head before I turned to him. “You can’t follow me in the US, baby. It’s part of the plan.” I reminded him.

He sighed and hug me in the back. He leaned his chin on my shoulder.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I will miss you so much, baby.” He whispered in my ears.

I felt a tingling sensation with what he did.

“I’ll miss you too baby,” I said.

I felt his breath against my neck. He then started kissing me on my shoulder to my neck up to my jaw.

He turned me to him. His hand went on my face and caressed it. He looks at me with so much love and desire. His eyes went down to my lips.

He slowly moves his face closer to mine and gave me a sweet and gentle kiss.

Our kiss is getting intense so I push him a bit to stop him. “We are in public,” I whispered to him.

“We are not. We’re in your house.” He said then he kiss me again.

I pushed him again. “Yes but our friends are also here. He will see us!” I said.

“So what?” He asked still drowning from our kiss.

“I’m not as thick face as you Andrew! Control yourself, baby!” I said.

“Fine. One last.” He said then gave me a quick kiss.

“I just need to go to the washroom.” He excused himself.

I was checking my phone when I heard a commotion. I look at where the commotion is and I saw Andrew in rage. I hurriedly went to his side.

“I’m asking you Vince and Iya! What is the meaning of this?! Why are you guys kissing?!”
