"Trix, have you heard?"
"About?"
"I heard there's this new agency in town and they are very known for this match up and dating chuva chuchu thing. Why don't you give it a try? It wouldn't hurt , right?"
"And besides you are not getting younger. You need to forget that damn guy. Who left you wihout even saying anything. He doesn't deserve you, he doesn't deserve your loneliness, he doesn't deserve your tears. You are pretty sis, and for sure there are lot of guys who will make all these effort just to win your heart. It's time you open your heart sis. Don't lock up yourself in a dark room waiting for that light. When you don't have any idea when it would come or would it really come. I'm here to help you get out of that place. Okay sis?", Angela said, with determination.
"I am lucky to have you as a friend. It's no doubt. And I appreciate all your efforts in this but sis I'm not going to. Sorry."
"But sis....."
"Sweetie, I still have a lot of work to do and another client is coming next week so I'll be busy preparing for the presentation. Yes, I am not getting any younger but I still believe he will come back. There's this little angel who keeps on whispering, he will come back. Not now but at the right time." Trix explained as she hug Angela.
"Whatever sis. But let me know if you change your mind!"
"Not gonna happen! And time to get back to work sis."

"Thank you for calling Elliom, this is Trix how may I help you today?"
"Oh hi Trix this is Mr. Smith. I call to follow up regarding the documents I asked a weeks ago to Mr. Alejandro. Can you check it up? My boss is waiting for it."
"Yes I will Mr. Smith. I'll call you back when I have the info."
"Appreciate that Trix. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Bye."
"Bye."
After the conversation, Trix called Mr. Alejandro's office.
"Hi Isabela, can you please forward my call to Director Alejandro?
"Yes, Trix."
"Thanks!"
"Sir, Mr. Smith called a moment ago regarding a document he requested and is asking if you do you have it now since his boss is waiting for it."
"Oh my! I almost forgot about it. I will call Mr. Smith myself Trix. I'll be sending the files tomorrow. Thank you."
"Alright sir!"
Maybe he is really getting old as he mostly forget things. Important things. Oh my! Anyway, time to get those papers reviewed and for emails to be sent to clients. This will be a busy day. Phew!

"Trix, Mr. Alejandro want to see you at his office right now, " said Isabela, Mr. Alejandro's secretary.
"Did he mention what's it all about?
"He didn't but it seems very important."
"Alright then. I'll head there now with you. Thanks Isabela."
---
Knock....knock...
"Come in.."
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes Trix. This is regarding the new client who is coming next week."
"What about it sir?"
"I heard he is strict and a hard client. I mean he is that kind of person who is difficult to please. He doesn't listen to anyone as he always believes he is right. He is a perfectionist too. I wonder how we are going to handle him. You know me, I hate this kind of people and we might clash."
"I do understand sir. Anything, I will be more than happy to help."
"I actually called VV Company as this client wanted to meet with them too. And we will be having a meeting in an hour. I wanted you to come too with the other staff. I already called them and they're be here any minute. I need everyone's help as this may a tough quest. But I do believe we can win him and have him sign with us."
"Then I'll go prepare sir."
"Yes please. And oh one thing. You can speak Korean, right?"
"A little sir, why'd you ask?"
"Then I'll be needing your help with this. The client is actually a Korean and he would love if someone can talk to him in his language. What a demanding one. According to my resources, it would be a plus since he hates speaking in English."
"Oh, but I only know a little sir. I am not yet fluent."
"Just try it."
"Okay sir."
"Then I'll go and prepare for the meeting."
"Thanks Trix. See you in a minute."

While heading back to her office....
"Why is it everything's becomes blury. And it's getting dark. Is there an out........."
( everything went black )
Trix lose her consciousness in the hallway.
"Call the emergency hotline now, quick!" Alif shouted loudly.
"What happened here?"
"I don't know Anj but we saw her passed out and hurriedly came to her."
"What the hell! She seems okay when we talked earlier. Trix, wake up. We still need to find your Mr. Right, remember? Hang in there! Don't leave me." Angela cried.
"She will be fine, Hon. Maybe she is just stressed." Alif replied.
"I hope she's fine."
---
The next day.....
"Doc, why she's not waking up yet? Angela asked.
"We are still monitoring her. And according to our test, everything seems fine. She just passed due to stress and she didn't even take her proper meals. She should be waking up anytime soon. Let's have her rest for now" Dr. Hudson explained.
"Thank you Doc", said Alif.
"Director, if you need anything I am just in my office. Just let me know."
"I will Doc. Thanks!"
After the doctor went out..
"In fairness, the doctor seems hot and good looking. I would have gone naked and have him examined me."
"Shut the fuck up Isabela. It's not time to joke around you see. Trix isn't waking up yet. I'm going crazy." Angela angrily shouted.
"Oh oh, your heart Hon. We heard what the doctor said. She will anytime soon." Alif explained as he hugged her girlfriend.
"Sorry Angela. I just mentioned it without realizing the situation here. But that was a real talk." Isabela explained.
"That's enough now." Director Alejandro exclaimed.
"I'll have to go back to the office and sort out things. I want to stay here long but I'll be piled up with paper works if I will allow it. Alif and Angela, can I leave you two here? I believe you're the people she needs in times like this. Just update me with her progress and call me as soon as she wakes up."
"Yes sir."
"Thanks! If you don't mind, Isabela let's go."
"We're going now. Bye!"
"Take care, bye!"

"Sis, why did u do that? You need to wake up now. I already sign you up for the dating match. If you don't want it hurry up and wake up now and cancel it."
"You did what Hon?"
"Just shut up Hon. I am convincing her to wake up."
"And you think that threatening her like that would wake her up?"
"I'm going crazy Hon. I can't take it if Trix will be gone."
"Hon, relax. She'll be fine. She'll wake up anytime soon. Okay? Let's trust what the doctor said", Alif comforted while patting Angela's head.
Knock...knock...
"Happy Couple Deluxe delivery for Trixxie Fuentebella!"
"What are you talking about?"
(normal reaction of people after hearing it)
"My apologies sir. This is the name of package deal ordered to us", the delivery boy explained as he handed big bouquets of flowers and a basket set of fruits to Alif.
"And may I know who sent all these?"
"I am sorry sir but the sender wanted his identity unknown. If you don't mind, can you please sign here sir?"
"Alright!"
"Thank you sir. I'll head back now. Hoping for Miss Trixxie's recovery."
"Oh, thank you again!"

"What was that about?"
"It's a delivery for Trix."
"Hurry check from where it came from."
"Oh there's a card. It says here: "It's never too late to be what we might have been." ♡
"And what does that exactly mean?" Angela curiosly asked facing Alif.
"I don't have any idea Hon. Dare to arrange the flowers for Trix?"
"Of course. Angela doesn't says no when it comes to flowers. You know me".
Giving her boyfriend a sweet kiss as he head to the table where the flowers are.
"A big! No A huge bouquet of red tulips and white rose. How lovely!"
"You are more lovelier than those flowers Hon. But you know what those flowers mean?
"True Love!"
"I love you Hon!" Alif burst out loudly as he approach Angela, giving her those warmest backhug and kissed her hair.
"I love you too Hon!" facing him as her face getting closer to his. Touching his soft lips.
He caressed her waist, pulling her body towards him and gently kisses her.

"No! Come back here!" Trix soft voice aired the room.
"Oh my God! Trix you are finally awake!"
"Where am I, what happened? The meeting?..."
"Relax girl. You're in the hospital. You passed out. How many times do I have to tell you. Health first. Don't push yourself too hard. Work is just there. You need to prioritize yourself and health first.
"Sorry to disturb you and for making you all worry."
"That's alright dear. But you bad girl! So we really have to kiss in front of you for you to wake up huh?!" the two blushing.
"I really don't know that. Not really! I actually dreamed of something.. a weird dream...I saw a guy's back..He handed me flower. 2 kinds of flower and what's weird is my name is written on each of the stems. So I shouted asking him not to leave but he did. Then I saw a note saying,
"It's never too late to be what we might have been." the three said in chorus.
"Huh, how did you know?" Trix oddly asked.
"Earlier there's a delivery for you. It's a Happy Couple Deluxe."
"What?"
"It's the name of the package he said. And that was what is written on the notes." Alif and Angela explained.
"Wait, why don't we check the flowers?" Angela bursted.
"What do you mean checked?" Alif asked.
"Trix mentioned her name carved on the stem. I just wonder if it's possible coz it's not just 2 stems. It's 2 big bouquets!" said Angela
"It won't hurt us to check, right? Can we do the honor Trix?" Alif smilingly asked.
"I don't mind at all."
The two hurriedly went to the table where the flowers are and checked it one by one...
"Oh my goodness!" Angela shouted still amazed with what she saw.
(Trix name and a heart shape on it.)
"This is my first time seeing this. There's really your name written on each steam", as she handed the two stems to Trix.
"But who sent the flowers?"
"That is what we are going to find out."
