Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: The accident

Ivy worked at a famous and popular cafè where only the rich were attended to. This was as a result of intending to raise money since her aunt was no longer around to see to her needs.

The pay at the cafe was exceptionally high so she couldn't miss it and put up with the proud and arrogant rich people.

Since her school was on break, she had the opportunity of working full time. That way, she would be able to pay for her studies without hindrance.

While working, her mind suddenly flashed back to the time she woke up at the hospital. Why couldn't she just remember before then? Her head ached!

Just as she was lost in thoughts, the news about Damien Sun came up.

He was the CEO of the the Sun group and a business guru at such a young age. Plus, he was every girls dream man.

Ivy admired him, not just because he was rich and handsome, she admired him for his talents in business. He was her role model! Her muse! Her bias! He was the person she looked up to with all her heart.

"Ahhh!" Addly, her fellow worker, a young and carefree girl, squeezed with dreamy eyes. "He's so handsome!" She exclaimed!

"I know, right?" Cleo, another fellow worker but unlike Addy, she was the serious type. "It's gonna take at least a decade before I can meet him." Although she was the serious type, they both had one thing in common. That was a love for handsome men!

"You girls admire his looks and not his do's. You'd be like the tenth million girl to want to meet him in person." Ivy stated and laughed. They laughed along with her. "Come on, we still have customers to serve." She beaconed on them with a tray of lathe.

Just then, three familiar faces entered the cafe. Ivy immediately recognized the one in the middle to be Damain from Sun's company. She was so thrilled at seeing him and didn't know she was taking steps towards his table.

The other two, whom she could point out to be his close associates, Jones and Clark, followed him steadily.

Ivy got to their table to ask for their orders with the tray of lathe still in her hands.

They simply ignored the waitress standing before them and with an embarrassed feeling, she decided to let someone else take their order. But in the course of leaving, she accidently tripped over something and her whole tray fell on Damain.

Everyone gasped with wide and shocked eyes. Ivy had not seen where the tray had fallen but she was on the floor. She quickly got up to avoid more form of embarrassment.

She stood up to see the shock on everyone's faces and wondered why they were shocked. She looked at Damain, only to see her entire tray's content on him. She gasped with fright.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, it was an accident. I didn't mean to." She tried to calm him down even if he didn't look angry. He looked down and didn't look up.

"Do you know what happens to people who try to humiliate me in public?" He asked with a terrifying voice. There was suddenly a cold aura around him.

"I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I'll clean it up immediately." She got a napkin from her dress to help clean him up but he stood up angrily.

"You…" Damien raised his head and as soon as he saw who it was, his eyes widened. She was… He was completely dumbfounded. How was she here?

"I'm sorry, sir! I didn't mean to. I swear, it wasn't my intention." Ivy kept apologizing with lowered head, unaware of the way Damien was looking at her. 'What should I do? I really didn't mean to drop it on him' she thought.

"Flora?" Damien exclaimed.

Ively raised her head. Was he talking to her? The look in his eyes were unrecognizable and bewildered.

"Excuse me, who?" She looked back to see if there was anyone standing behind her but there was none.

"You're Flora!" He said which confused her.

"I'm sorry but, my name isn't Flora, it's Ivy!" She said, almost forgetting the incident that just occured.

Damien was confused. Flora was never certified dead but they never found her body either. Was this girl a lookalike? No, she's too similar!

He would've noticed if she was a mere lookalike but this girl wasn't. She had a tiny mole on her ear lube, the exact same spot as Flora.

'Whats going on?' He thought and turned to Clark, who also looked shocked and gave him a signal.

"Ahem!" Clark cleared his throat. "You've humiliated Mr Sun so you'll have to pay for it." He stated.

"Pay? But it wasn't my intention. Besides, I already apologized." She protested.

"That's not an apology." Jones added.

"What?!" She exclaimed. "I'm sorry is an apology." She claimed.

"Take her!" Damain ordrerd and they took hold of her.

"What do you want? I already apologized." She said while struggling to free herself from his guards, who suddenly took hold of her. "What's going on?"

"I don't accept simple apologies." Damien said. "You'll have to pay me with something else." He added and they took her out.

He looked at all the staring eyes, took off his coat and dumped it in the waste bin on his way out.
