"Ricardo, darling..." She smiled and approached her husband to hug him.
But Ricardo stood up and took the large suitcase and then pulled it out the door.
"Where are you going?" Audrey asked.
"In Cebu, I have to take care of business," Ricardo replied.
Then he hurried to get into the car and started the engine.
Audrey sadly returned inside the house.
She assumes that when there is a lot of money, she will never be sad, but she is wrong because money is not enough to make a person happy.
Ricardo stayed at a 5-star hotel in Cebu. Here he often stays even then.
He really liked the hotel because it was right in front of the wide beach.
So the air is fresh and, moreover, quiet and clean.
Ricardo was meticulous. He wanted everything around him to be clean and pleasant.
He chose the most expensive suite in the hotel. He wanted to be comfortable while he stayed there.
She took a mini apple tablet from her leather bag to watch her son on CCTV.
He secretly attached it to his son's room, so that he could always see his condition.
So he is safe every time he leaves the mansion because he always sees the child on the CCTV monitor on his mini apple tablet.
He always sees the babysitters taking care of Nicholas and
He rarely sees Audrey enter their son's room.
He suddenly looked outside. It was getting dark, so he thought of taking a walk on the beach.
He was wearing denim shorts, a white t-shirt, and simple leather sandals.
Ricardo's two hands were tucked in the pockets of his shorts as he walked around.
He was enjoying the view of the sunset when he suddenly heard something.
It sounds like someone is crying, and it sounds like a woman.
So he walks fast to find where it comes from.
In the distance, he saw the beautiful woman sitting on the sand, crying.
He looked around to find out who was with her. But no one was there and they were the only two on the beach at this time.
He approached the woman.
"M-miss are you okay?"
She looked at him, and then he saw that the woman's cheek was wet because of the tears that flowed from her eyes.
He handed her a white handkerchief. The woman immediately took it and wiped away her tears.
"Thank you," she said modestly to him.
Then she stood up to leave him.
As she walks away, Ricardo's gaze follows her.
He could not understand why he suddenly could not speak in front of her.
This was the very first time that he felt something inside him.
He regretted that he didn't ask for her name, so he sadly walked back to his suite room.
He could not sleep. He still couldn't get the woman's face out of his mind.
He could not understand why he seemed affected and pitied the woman.
The next day, Ricardo woke up early.
He went to the beach. He is very excited to see the woman again.
He was desperate to find the woman and see her again. He thinks that she needs help.
He waited two hours for the woman, but he did not see her.
So again, he took the elevator back to his suite room.
He was silent as he stared at the elevator floor indicator while waiting.
A faint voice he heard coming from behind him said, "Sir, thank you very much for the handkerchief."
He turned around, and his eyes widened when he saw that the woman he had been looking for this morning was standing beside him.
"You're welcome," he replied. Even though he was nervous, He dared to ask for its name.
"What is your name?" Ricardo asked.
"My name is Megan, sir." was her short answer.
"Don't call me sir, just call me Ricardo," Ricardo replied with a smile.
Erra smiled.
"What are you doing here at the hotel?" he asked.
But suddenly, the elevator door opened. And Megan needs to come out.
"Later on the beach at 7pm," Ricardo said loudly.
But he did not hear Megan's answer.
He was smiling as he entered the suite and was excited to finish that day to see Megan again.
Meanwhile, while at the party, he was with his business partners.
"Ricardo, why don't you build a mall here in Cebu?" was the suggestion of another billionaire, Mr, Go.
"You know, Mr, Go, I've been thinking about it for a long time." Ricardo replied.
He has a reason to come back here. Megan is the reason
why it is forming in his mind to continue the construction of a big
mall in Cebu City.
Ricardo is a little bit drunk. He looked at his watch; it was close to seven o'clock and he had to go to the beach.
The party started at three o'clock and there were a lot of people, so maybe his colleagues won't notice if he leaves without letting them know, because
He knows that Mr. Go, the oldest of them all, will stop him.
Lots of people on the beach. He takes a walk while looking for Megan.
He feels like he's a teenager who's going to have a date with his crush because of
How he feels right now.
He looked at his watch again. It was close to eight o'clock, but Megan was not there yet.
Maybe she is not coming anymore.
"Ricardo!"
It was Megan, standing near the beach while smiling at him.
She wore a simple floral dress and simple flip-flops.
He happily approached Megan.
"Sorry, I'm late. I just finished my duty in the kitchen."
"Kitchen?" Ricardo was surprised.
"Yes, I am a chef at this hotel's restaurant."
"Wow, you mean you cook delicious food in the restaurant? That's why the food here is delicious because of you," he smiled.
"Come over there. I reserved an area here on the beach, so we can have a good talk." Then they walked together to the other side of the beach.
"Wow, this is a private beach area. It's expensive. Maybe you are rich," Megan asked jokingly.
"No I'm not rich," Ricardo smiled, even though he knew in himself that he was a billionaire. He didn't want Megan to think he was arrogant.
He wants Megan to think that he is just a simple man, because it might be misleading to him when he finds out that
He is a billionaire.
A baked stuffed lobster is on the table, and there is also paella seafood and a few pieces of cold beer.
"Wow, the food looks great! Is it a date?" Megan asked while smiling.
"I don't know if you'll like it. If you have an allergy to seafood, I'll replace it," Ricardo said.
"You are so sweet, but if you have a girlfriend, please stop doing this, because I don't want any trouble."
Ricardo saw how serious her face was when she asked about that matter.
