"What the fuck are you doing? This is the men's room." Diego yelled at a young lady who rushed into the restroom like someone being chased.
The lady looked around and suddenly went out to look at the sign on the door and truly it was the men's room.
"I am so sorry." She apologized after going back inside again.
"So, you didn't believe me. That's why you went outside to confirm." Diego said a bit amused by her stupidity.
"I said I am sorry, no need to drag the issue. Men just like arguing about things." Mylar said, irritated by the looks he gave her and Diego cried out suddenly.
"Seriously! What has gender got to do with this."
Mylar hissed at him and walked out. He kept staring at her until she shut the door behind her, he looked into the mirror and asked his image.
"Didn't she recognize you? Is she that oblivious?"
Mylar returned to the table to take her her purse. When Mr. Williams saw her, he went on his knees apologizing for his misbehavior.
"It's fine but I need to leave now please." Mylar said, she picked up her bag and went away leaving him on his knees.
Hello! Ariana said to someone on her phone.
"Dear, why is your voice shaking? How was your date?" Mr. Alfredo voice asked in the receiver.
"Daddy, I just got so insulted today. I don't want to see Diego Wylder ever again." Ariana replied, crying and sniffing like a little child with a cold.
What! Mr. Alfredo yelled.
"How dare Diego insult my precious daughter?" Mr. Alfredo yelled again, he was so furious by what he heard.
"Diego insulted our daughter?" Mrs. Fernandez asked as she ran out of the kitchen. Her husband put the phone on speaker and she stood by his side listening to their daughter as she explained her entire ordeal with Diego.
Mylar got back to Charice house at 7:10 in the evening, she explained what happened to her at the restaurant.
"Although I like Williams from what I have heard about him but kissing a lady against her will is not right." Charice said while patting her friend's back and then commended Mylar.
"But I am glad to know that you defended yourself well. You did a good job."
"I see jerks like him everyday, after all I am a stripper, they always harrass me." Mylar said with a fake smile.
"Hey, don't say that. We both know you do that job for your family and not because you want to." Charice said to cheer her up.
"Thanks, I love you but I need to leave now" Mylar said and Charice asked.
"Why not spend the night here?"
"I can't keep avoiding my wonderful family." Mylar replied with a bit of sarcasm.
"You need to call Mr. Mateo immediately, we can't allow this injustice to happen to our princess." Said Ariana's mom after her daughter finished explaining.
"Dear, come home soon. I will handle things myself." Mr. Alfredo said to his daughter and hung up, then he answered his wife.
"I don't think there's any need to inform Mr. Mateo about this."
"What! But why?" Mrs. Fernandez asked, surprised by her husband's calm judgement. He sighed and replied her.
"Our daughter has been brave enough to teach him a lesson for disrespecting her so why else do we need to anger Mr. Mateo by telling him about his grandson's deeds." His wife stared at him still doubtful about her husband's decision and then, Mr. Alfredo said.
"My dear, let's just tell him that our daughter does not want to marry his son and end the matter there.
I am sure you remember the last incident where Diego bashed the car of the most important shareholder in his granddad's company all because his granddad refused to give him some cash.
Mr. Mateo was hospitalized for the rest of the day and that crazy bastard didn't give a damn, he didn't even check up on him. Do you want the same to happen?" She finally agreed with him and they both explained their decision to their daughter when she got home that day and she did reasoned with them like the smart lady that she was.
Mylar returned the nice dress Charice lent her for the date but Charice insisted she kept it for herself.
Mylar arrived home by 9:30pm and pressed on the door bell, it rang for a while and when she was about to bring out her phone to call her mom, someone opened the door but the person was a stranger.
"Who are you?" The person asked making Mylar speechless and confused because she was certain that this is her apartment.
"Who is at the door?" Mrs. Claire asked coming to the door in a blood red nightie. Her human hair was a curly one, she had lipstick on and heavy eye
makeup.
She was shocked and thrown aback when she saw Mylar, it was obvious from her expression.
"What is happening in my house? Mom! Who is this? Where are my siblings?" Mylar continued asking until she was cut short by what her mom said next.
"Derrick, you need to leave now. Please."
Derrick look surprised but wore a smile on his face and went to Mylar's mom, he wrapped his hand around her waist and asked lovingly.
"Babe, why are you chasing me out of your apartment because of that girl? Who is she?" Mylar gasped at what she heard, her mom was dating a guy who is obviously even younger than her.
"Derrick, I will explain it to you over the phone. For now, please leave." Mrs. Claire replied pushing at him with her elbow.
After he left, Mylar went in and sat on the couch shaking her head still surprised.
"I didn't know that you would be back today." Mrs. Claire said to her daughter with a false smile.
"Do I need to tell you before coming back to my own house?" Mylar asked raising her voice in the process and Mrs. Claire quickly shook her head in response to the question.
"Where are my siblings? Where are Jenny and Mike?" Mylar asked looking around.
Hmmm! Mrs. Claire said biting her lips.
"Mom! What did you do?" Mylar asked getting a little bit nervous and her mom said, to her surprise.
"I asked them to spend some time at your neighbor's house."
"You did what?" Mylar thundered and continued speaking.
"You don't even know my neighbor and you allowed my siblings to stay there? How could you?"
"I'll go get them quickly, let me just clean off this makeup and put on something decent." Mrs. Claire said but Mylar stopped her.
"I will get them myself." She got up, left her house and headed to her neighbors house.
"Sir! You have a call." Martinez Gonzalez, a short man with a cute face and a tiny moustache that contrasted exceptionally to his cuteness said to his boss. He was somewhat in his early thirties and has been working for Mr. Mateo as a P.A for the past eleven years, with diligence and loyalty.
He was in the hallway when he heard Mr. Mateo's phone ringing, on picking the call, it was Mr. Alfredo Fernandez and he sounded a bit distressed, he told Martinez that he wanted to speak with Mr. Mateo urgently.
"Can't you see that I am in a meeting Martinez?" Mr. Mateo whispered as he didn't want to raise his voice before his board members who were staring intensely and earnestly at him.
"I am so sorry sir." Martinez apologize and then explained why he interrupted the meeting.
After hearing what he had to say, Mr. Mateo excused himself and went outside with Martinez, who called up Mr. Alfredo and handed his boss the cell phone.
They greeted each other calmly and Mr. Alfredo cooked up a reason why his daughter could not marry Mr. Mateo's grandson even though he sounded a bit angry and his words were sounding untrue and flattered.
"Yes, thank you for informing me about your decision. If not marriage, I hope we can continue to have a strong relationship between us?" Mr. Mateo asked to be sure if his relationship with Mr. Alfredo was still intact.
"Offcourse and it will be so forever. Have a great day, sir." Mr. Alfredo replied and ended the call.
"I think he is lying. Diego must have surely done something terrible, that boy is trying to play a fast one on me and I won't allow it." Mr. Mateo said to himself and went back in, to continue his meeting.
Mylar hit the door bell of her neighbor's for a long while before she finally heard someone's movement inside the house and then, the person opened the door.
"Good evening." Mylar greeted and the young man who was lost in thoughts as he stared at the most beautiful woman he's ever seen.
He was quite a tall man, with body like that of an heavyweight lifter, she could tell because he had no shirt on. His very black skin was shining under the bright light of the electric bulb in his well furnished living room.
"Who is at the door? Who is that person ruining all our fun?" She heard her brother's voice asking and he came out from a corner in the house.
Mylar! Mike called and smiled.
"When did you get back? Mom said we were going to spend the night here but thank God you are back now, although it wouldn't have been bad to spend the night here too, this guy's amazing." Mike explained and the man gave him a knuckle up with a smile on his face while he said.
"Thanks blood."
"Well, whatever, umm, where's your sister?" Mylar asked ignoring the man's charming smile.
"She's inside watching all kinds of girls movies." Mike replied looking behind him and Mylar said to him.
"Go get your sister and let's go home."
"My name is Jaden even if you didn't ask. Won't you come in?" The man asked but she shooked her head and said.
"I am just here to take my siblings not to get entertained or look around your house and thanks for looking after them when my mom abandoned them to you."
"My pleasure." He wanted to say something else but Mylar's siblings came out, they all thanked him for his hospitality, Mike was the most thankful of them all because he played video games with him.
