"Chad, are you sure you can continue to do this? It is sunny. Why don't you..."
"Don't worry about me. I can do it" Chad immediately cut her off.
Rachel was so worried that Chad might hurt himself while gathering the sugar canes stick. This was the first time Chad would work on the farm.
"It is sunny. Do you need my hat?"
"Nope, I don't want it" he refused.
"What about water? Should I get it for you?"
"Yes"
She pulled out a bottled water from her lunch pack and gave it to Chad. "Here"
He collected it from her and drank half of it. She brought out a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you" he smiled.
After thirty more minutes of working, the workers took a break to rest. Chad, Rachel, Johanna and Mrs beltran sat on grass under a shade to eat.
"We don't have an extra plate so how will you eat Chad?" Mrs beltran asked Chad.
They did not know that Chad was going to come and they brought bowls for only themselves.
Chad looked around and smiled, "I will eat with Rachel. We will share the same food"
"What? Share food with me? You know how selfish I am when it comes to food and you want to eat with me" she complained bitterly.
Rachel could not believe that Chad would want to eat with the farmworkers
"Rachel, just for once, can you please share your food with me?" Chad pleaded.
"Okay, you can eat"
Rachel gave the food to Chad and watched him eat. Chad ate the food happily. Sometimes Rachel wondered why he was so cold around others and was not cold when he was always with her. Was it because he loved her so much?
Seeing him eat half of the food she grabbed the plate from him.
"Hey, why did you do that?"
"I will eat this half since you have eaten half of the food"
"I thought you gave the whole food to me?"
"Why should i?" she rolled her eyes at him.
"Sir Chad is so handsome. I don't know the reason why he chose Rachel?" one of the workers said.
"She is so lucky to have him. Not all the poor are able to marry a rich husband" the another said.
"Yes" the first one said.
"It's time to go back to work" one of the worker shouted.
The lunch break was already over. The workers had to go back to work.
"Chad, don't tell me you want to go back to the farm?" Rachel asked.
"Yes, why not?"
"You did not go to the company today and as the COO of carpeDiem Torres, you should be at the company"
"My assistant is there working for me. Don't worry, I won't leave until evening" he smiled.
"What if your mom finds out that you came here?"
Rachel had always been worried about Mrs Torres finding out that Chad came to the farm today.
He wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "Don't worry, my mother won't find out"
"What are you doing Chad? People are looking" she said as she tried to pull away from him, but he hung on to her defiantly.
"Let them look" he said as he looked at her lips. At that moment he wanted nothing more than to kiss those perfect lips. He would have stolen a kiss on her lips, but she pulled away gently to smile at him.
"We have to finish our work before sunset" she said and turned to leave.
He was watching her, a smile on his face and an amused twinkle in his eyes.
Chad walked over to Rachel. Celyn who was not looking bumped into him with a tray.
"I am so sorry sir" she apologized.
"Next time you open your eyes when you are walking" he said coldly and left with allowing her to say anything.
Rachel who saw Chad talking with Celyn asked, "Chad, what were the two of you saying?"
"Nothing. She bumped into me and I told her to open her eyes whenever she is walking"
"You are not supposed to say that"
Chad had always been cold and arrogant towards others. He did not care who that person was.
"Should I go and apologize to her or should I invite her for dinner at my house to show her how sorry I am?"
Chad will never ask for forgiveness from someone except Rachel told him to. He was ready to listen to what ever she says. Whether it is good or bad.
"Em..."
"Don't worry, I will tell her to come to my house for dinner tonight" he immediately cut her off.
Rachel felt jealous immediately. She did not tell him to invite her for dinner.
"And I didn't get her name so what should I call her? I will give her baby doll" he said that to only make her jealous
"Baby doll?"
"Yes, she is beautiful and she looks like Barbie and she also got such nice eyes" he smiled.
Rachel face turned red with anger. She couldn't believe that Chad would compliment another girl's beauty.
"I should go and tell her now" he said and turned to leave.
"Don't!" Rachel screamed before she ran and leaped into his back. He stumbled and they fell into the mud with a large 'oof'. The both of them were soaked and covered with mud.
"Look at what you have done" he said with a smile.
"Sorry" she said as she tried to get up. It was slippy and she fell into the mud again.
"Give me your hands" Chad said as he extended his hand towards Rachel. She put her hand in his and he helped her up.
In a Mercedes Maybach.
Mina had been watching Chad and Rachel since. She became crazed with hatred, anger, jealousy and pain. She really didn't understand why Chad could not be hers.
Yet Mina did not weep, or even sigh; but analyn,knowing what she felt exclaimed, "Hey, will you continue to stay here and watch those two? If you do, that won't help you"
"I am watching only Chad. No one else" Mina said.
"I have to go home now and I will take you home too" Chad said and held her hand and led her to the car and the car drove off.
"Can we go home now? Chad has gone already" analyn said.
Mina was silent for few seconds and then she later said, "Let's go home"
At the Torres mansion.
Mrs Torres was on the living room on a call when Chad entered. She saw him and immediately ended the call.
"Chad, where were you? You didn't come to the company today and why are you like this? Did you fall in a mud?"
"Mom, I went to the farm today and I fell into a mud mistakenly" he said.
"What? You went to the farm? To do what?"
"To see Rachel"
"Gosh! How many times will..."
"Mom, I have to bath now" he immediately cut his mother off. He knew his mother would talk to him about Rachel again.
"That girl is something else. My son even went to the farm to visit her. I have to go something to separate the both of them" she said angrily and went to her room.
Later at night at napsan, palawan.
"I don't understand why Chad came to the farm today" Rachel said.
"You really don't understand why Chad chose you of all the girls in the world" Johanna said with her face lowered. She was playing a game on her phone.
"Why did you say that?"
Johanna raised her head and said, "He came to farm because he missed you so much"
Their conversation was interrupted by a knock. Rachel walked to the door and opened it. She was stunned when she saw the person at the door.
"Wh...What are you doing here?"
"I came here to apologize to you Rachel" Mina said with a smile on her face.
"Apologize?" Rachel was confused.
"Can I come in first?" Mina asked.
Rachel was silent for few seconds then she moved away from the entrance for Mina to enter.
