"I don't have a girlfriend," Ricardo replied briefly to Megan.
At the right time, he will tell Megan the truth, because he wants to know her first.
"Do you have a boyfriend? Maybe someone will be angry with me too," Ricardo asked.
Megan suddenly fell silent because of Ricardo's question. Her face became sad.
"Wait, what's wrong? I'm sorry for my question."
It's okay, because I didn't have a good experience. That's why I'm here in Cebu.
"Why?" Ricardo asked thoughtfully. He was curious about what Megan said.
" My fiance and I were supposed to get married, but one day I returned home because I forgot my cell phone. I was shocked when I saw my half-sister and my fiance were kissing," Megan's tears suddenly dropped.
Ricardo hugged her and wiped her tears.
I'm just sad because we were so close growing up.
I left, and since then I have never returned home. I lived with them because I no longer had parents. I don't have a cellphone. I don't want to use any because I don't want to hear anything about her. I knew that she was married to a wealthy man.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.
"Let's not talk about my life, because we might just cry here," Megan smiled and then wiped the tears from her cheeks.
The two did not realize that it was almost midnight.
"Are you going to do anything tomorrow?" Ricardo asked Megan, as he felt that there wasn't enough time tonight. He knew that it was not possible to be with Megan because he was already married, but he couldn't control himself from admiring Megan's beauty.
After he married Audrey, he tried to fall in love with her, but he really felt nothing special for her.
"Ricardo!" Megan calls to grab Ricardo's attention. because he didn't hear what she said that he had no work tomorrow and she had nothing to do all day.
Ricardo drove Megan to his rented apartment near the hotel where she was staying.
"Come in first, let's have coffee," Megan invited.
Ricardo didn't hesitate to come inside.
Megan's apartment is a bit cramped compared to their mansion, and their kitchen is even bigger in its entirety.
Ricardo also saw that she did not have her own living room. When you enter the door, you will immediately see a curtain covering the bed, and across it is the small kitchen, which does not have a dining table.
" I'm sorry about that. It's just small. I'm just starting. When I save up, I will also move to a relatively large apartment, " Megan explained.
"Don't worry, it's okay. The important thing is that you are safe and can rest quietly here," Ricardo replied.
Ricardo wonders how to help Megan, to somehow alleviate his grief, because she is alone in life.
It was midnight when Ricardo returned to the hotel.
As he lay on his bed, he thought of Megan.
Her bed is small. There is no living room set, no TV, and when eating, there is no dining table to place the food.
He wants Megan to be comfortable, so he is thinking of a way to help her.
He is rich, a billionaire, and nothing is impossible for Ricardo.
The next morning, he woke up early to call his bodyguards and give them orders.
He picked up Megan at her apartment. He uses a car that he uses whenever he is here in Cebu.
"Ricardo? Why are you so early?" She smiled at him as she ushered him inside her apartment.
"Why are your suitcases ready? Are you going somewhere?" Ricardo asked, seeing that Megan's belongings were packed.
"No, something will be fixed here. My landlady told me to stay at the hotel for the meantime, and that I would not pay anything while I waited for the apartment to be fixed," Megan replied, as she pulled out her suitcases one by one.
After Ricardo brought Megan to her hotel room, he invited her to his suite.
He asked Megan to cook a delicious meal.
"Wow, the room you took is so big. This is my first time seeing a suite room at this hotel. It's so beautiful," Erra couldn't believe what she saw. It's like a big house. There is a bedroom, a living room with a kitchen, and a balcony that overlooks the whole beach below.
Megan turned and smilingly approached Ricardo.
"Maybe you are a millionaire," she said, as she looked at him and smiled slightly.
"No! I'm not rich," Ricardo laughed. This is not yet the right time for her to know Ricardo's true identity.
"Cook me some kare-kare," Ricardo requested, because this is his favorite food.
Kare-kare is made of pork hocks and pig trotters and some vegetables like string beans, eggplant, and spinach with a thick peanut sauce.
While Megan was cooking, Ricardo watched her with a smile.
This is how he wants a woman: beautiful and good at cooking.
He couldn't help but compare her to Audrey, who suddenly entered his mind.
She is probably at the bar or she is in the mall wasting money.
He gives Audrey a large allowance so she can buy everything she wants.
He was often away from the mansion. As much as possible, he did not want to stay there. He could not stand to be with Audrey for a long time, so what he was doing was making himself busy with his business.
She watches Megan while listening to her favorite love song.
This was his first time feeling such great joy as he watched a woman he had only just seen.
Is this what they call "Love at first sight?"
