"where's my other clothes?"
She asked, head down.
Shooot!! Maria feel her face is on fire. She can't even look at him in the eyes!
Spell EMBARRASSING.
Tobias smiled. This girl never failed to amaze him.
Maria look up when she got nothing in response. She saw him smiling widely and her face blushed even more!
"its in my car"
he informed her, not breaking an eye contact with her.
" but how? "
her eyes became wide when an idea hit her. No way!
Tobias smile became bigger as he watched her reactions change.
"did we... did ----"
she can't able to finish her question. She can't!
"we what? "
he asked her, acting innocent.
Maria look at him, she saw the mischievous glint in his eyes.
"would you stop smiling?!"
she said irritatedly
She really want to slap that face of his! She stood up but her body aches due to her actions, specially down there.
Then realization hit her.
Oh dear, did she just lost her virginity to the man she doesn't know, excluding his name?
Her eyes sting and tears starts to pour.
She pitied herself again.
She lost everything and now, the only thing she had is lost.
The only thing she can proudly give to her groom to be. She cried even more.
Tobias on the other hand, feel guilty. He exactly knew why she's crying. He was her first, which he silently thanking but he knew how it is very important for girls their virginity.
He walked towards her but
"go away!"
she shouted not looking at him.
"I'm sorry."
he said guiltily
"is your sorry can take back what's been taken?!"
she said angrily.
"just shut up! I know I'm partly to blame but---i wanna go home."
she demanded
"okay, I'll just get your clothes."
After Maria got dressed up she decided to go home.
She went downstairs not wanting to bid goodbye to him. When she's about to open the door Tobias called.
"wait! you forgot your bag"
he speak as he held out her bag towards her.
Maria accept it using her left hand.
Tobias see that she had a bracelet in her left wrist. He never seen it last night, or maybe he did but never had cared about it.
It looks familiar to the one he remembered.
Tobias want to ask her but she already turn to leave.
"thanks"
she said shyly and went out.
He remained rooted in his spot while looking at her retreating back. He felt something weird in his chest but he just shrugged it off.

"Sir, here's the folder for the new secretarial applicants."
his secretary informed him
"just left it there."
he replied, not taking his eyes away from his laptop.
" okay sir, I'll take my leave now."
Tobias look up from his laptop and rub his eyes with his thumb.
He placed his laptop aside and scan the folder.
He needs to find a new secretary, because Riza is going to retire because of her age.
Some people asked him why he refers to have an older women to be his secretary, he just simply answered 'to avoid problems'.
He doesn't want younger ones because he knew what will happen. He was too weak for temptations.
Tobias, at the age of 25, owned his own business. Its not like from his family business which is construction supply but he was very proud of it.
He managed his glass and aluminum supply very well. He built this 3 years ago, and now its running way too good.
The CHIU Glass and Aluminum Supply is his masterpiece.
Tobias continue to scan the résumés when the fifth resume caught his attention.
"it's her!"
