A WEEK LATER…
EDEN ESTATES.
SAINT VILLA.
Aaron Saint walked out of his room to the hall and saw August Maijune in the lab and went in. He saw August Maijune looking at the test bottles and spoke ''I almost thought you were Mai?'' August Maijune turned and looked at him smiling as he walked closer ''what are you looking at?''
''I was just looking at these bottles. Mai really did make a lot of perfumes. Look, she even wrote our names on them''.
August Maijune picked the bottle with her name on it ''she made perfumes for us, Maijune and me''.
''I didn't know she was a scientist. I was totally surprised''.
''I bet you were. Whoa. This must have cost a fortune''.
''It was nothing. Whether is August, Mai or Maijune, you are the same person to me and I don't mind spending on you''
''I'm sorry'' August Maijune sat on the stool.
''For what?''
''For everything. You definitely didn't bargain for this?''
''Silly girl. So, what are you going to do today?''
''I want to go on a date with you''. August Maijune said and threw Aaron Saint a wink while leaning closer towards him.
''What?''
''I missed you''. August Maijune attempted to touch his chest and he moved backwards.
''There you go again; I'm getting late for you. Bye''.
Aaron Saint turned hurriedly towards the door and August Maijune followed him speaking ''I will visit you today when I finish reading the dairy Mai left me''
Aaron Saint turned to her ''Mai left you a diary?''
''Yes, I found it in my room. I guess she wants me to continue with her work for her or something''.
"'Do you know how to do her work?''
''Of course, I know but I prefer reading comic books. You go, I will call you before going out''.
''Okay'' August Maijune stepped closer to her and kissed her forehead before going out.
August Maijune smiled and returned to her room.
AUGUST/MAI/MAIJUNE'S ROOM.
August Maijune sat on the bed and opened the diary and started reading it.
From Mai, your junior sister,
''You must have been surprised when me and Maijune showed up right? I wrote this to let you in on somethings Maijune and I did when you were not around.
First, don't hate Maijune too much, she loves us and is trying her best to protect us. There is something I must report to you so that you would not get confused about how things were during the time you were not here.
Mr. Saint is a good man, he set up a laboratory for me and thanks to him I was happy. Now, back to serious matters. There are three men you must never forget, their names are Josh Saint, Lorca Don Marco and Sebastian. I will introduce them and write more about them but you must avoid them as much as possible in order not to raise suspicions.
They are not good people and you can't deal with them by yourself. I have written down their information on Maijune's dairy''.
August Maijune read the diary to the last page and understood everything Mai had to say to her. She was grateful to Mai for always trying to warn her of dangers. Through the diary, August Maijune searched for the information of Josh Saint, Lorca and Sebastian. She didn't find anything on the third name but she was able to get little information about Lorca and Josh Saint
Those names rang a bell in her subconscious mind but sadly she couldn't remember them yet. August Maijune put the diary down and looked at the time.
She didn't even know time had passed by quickly and it was now getting to evening time.
She had promised Aaron Saint she would go to the company, so she quickly changed into a shirt and a skirt and ignored her growling stomach and ran out of the villa and bumped into a boy at the main gate of the estates.
August Maijune immediately recognised him as Sebastian that Mai warned her about.
August Maijune stepped back and almost tripped and Sebastian held her hand and steadied her before letting go.
August looked at his face and murmured ''he is really handsome''.
Sebastian heard her and got a little confused. August Maijune stepped closer to him and looked at him closely making him blush as she continued ''Mai should have warned me at least twice. I have a tender spot for beautiful men''.
August Maijune smiled and looked at the flowers in his hand saying 'Is that supposed to be mine?'' Sebastian blinked and looked at the flowers before replying.
''Yes, I bought them for you August Maijune''.
''Okay, thanks''. August Maijune snatched the flowers from his hand ''then, I guess we are done here?''
August Maijune turned to walk away and he stopped her ''wait. Is that it?''
''Yes, do you have anything else to say to me apart from giving me the flowers? Say it quick, I have to go and meet someone':
''Who? Who are you meeting?''
''An extremely sexy man. If you have nothing to say, then, let's go our separate ways here. I hate to keep him waiting, it will break my heart, you see''.
''You're going to meet Aaron Saint?''
''Oh, yes, how did you know?''
''Is he not supposed to be your guardian? Do you two have a different relationship?''
''Hush, you ask too many questions is beginning to annoy me. What's the matter with you? Why do you keep pestering me? Do you like me?':
''Yes, I like you''.
''Sorry, but you are not my type''.
''You said pretty boys are your weakness''.
''Yes, I did, but your kind of pretty isn't my cup of coffee''
Sebastian looked at her impatiently, she was proving a lot stubborn than he thought and he was really running out of his patience.
Sebastian looked at August Maijune from head to toe and couldn't help but noticed how her skin was a little tanned making her look beautiful. Her clothes fitted her in the right ways and her curves were shown perfectly. Her minimal makeup and light-pink lip gloss made her lips look kissable.
August Maijune licked and bit her lips casually making the lip gloss to smear a little, an action she does when she is losing her patience. She didnt even know that little act of hers sparked a fire in the lower part of the man before her.
Sebastian looked at her hair style and noticed the difference in them from the other time. This style looked chic.
He was confused and the subtle change didn't escape August Maijune. August Maijune knew he was surprised and confused but she had to leave there before his suspicion grew any stronger. August Maijune smiled and walked away.
Before Sebastian could react and get his mind together, August Maijune had gotten into a taxi.
Sebastian watched the taxi disappear gradually from his view and he murmured ''I'm sure her eyes weren't brown the last time I saw her''.
Meanwhile, August Maijune touched her beating heart and murmured as she sat in the taxi ''wow, that was close. Did he really notice something?''
SAINT GROUP.
RECEPTION.
Rowena Myers walked to the reception of Saint Group. She was dressed in a new satire flowery straight dress, a new collection from Fashion Lyah.
The moment she walked to the reception, the workers erupted into mumbling.
Rowena Myers was well aware of the attention she got and enjoyed it. She walked to the reception and spoke to the two ladies at the counter ''hi, I am here to see Aaron Saint. He is inside, right?''
''Yes, do you have an appointment with him?'' One of the ladies asked.
''Appointment? Do I need to have an appointment in order to see him? He said I could come here anytime I wanted?''
''Really? Then, you can go. The office is in the last floor. You will find his secretary at the desk''
''Okay, thank you''. Rowena Myers smiled at them and went inside. The two ladies started murmuring among themselves.
''What relationship does she have with the president? He even told her to visit anytime?''
''I know, right? Could it be…they are in a relationship?''
''Then, what about that mystery girl who comes to the company?''
''Oh her? I heard our boss is acting as her guardian. There is nothing more to it''
''I see, but, she is really strange':
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.
Morris entered the office and spoke to Aaron Saint as he looked over some documents.
''Boss, there is someone here to see you''.
Aaron Saint looked at surprised and asked ''who?''
''Is the actress, Rowena Myers. She said you know who she is''
"Rowena Myers…" Aaron scanned through his mind and finally remember her ''Did she make an appointment with the front office? I can't remember having a meeting with her''
''She told the reception that you know her and personally told her to come here anytime she wanted''.
''Really? I haven't seen her in 6 years and she still hasn't changed one bit? Let her in but those at the front desk, I think they are slacking off lately''
