Chapter 1
CRIMSON DEL LABIBA's POV
"I want this, baby."
I glanced at my girlfriend. Morry Tsumaga, she's a model. We've been in a relationship for almost three years.
He showed me the signature bag he chose, it's a color red. Well, everything that Morry buys is all signature and will be loved.
We are in ArtPri's boutique today. This is only the 5th floor, the color of the boutique structure is orange, yellow and brown. Many customers shop for clothes here and are still rich kids.
"Okay," I said. In his joy he kissed me on the lips even though many people would see.
"Thank you, babe! You're the best! I love you, babe," she said while smiling from ear to ear.
I caressed her cheek and smiled. "Anything for you, babe," I said.
"I'll just look at the others, ah?" he promised with a smile, I just nodded.
Drimson, my twin brother hates her. He thought that Morry is a gold digger, because all his things are spent with my money. All the stuff he has is mine.
There is no case against me because I only give what my girlfriend wants. Well, I love her.
Is our relationship perfect? I can say that, but of course we are both busy in our works.
It's been four years since Dad turned over his position to me as a CEO. Since then, even though I was still studying in college, I became the COO of our company.
Del Labiba Real Estate Company. We build, housing projects, villages, condominiums, buildings and such.
Drim is an architect, he inherited the firm he runs now from his grandfather. My late grandfather was an architect, my twin inherited from Lolo so Lolo was very happy because Drim inherited from him.
I belong to Dad, all sides of Daddy are really businessman.
My mind came back to reality when I looked at a woman who didn't seem to know what necktie to choose.
He was holding two neckties of different colors. Dark gray and blue.
She's tall, her skin is fair. He was only in side view and not far from where I was standing.
I could clearly see his long and pointed nose and his long, slimy eyelashes.
Her hair, well it's short. He was wearing a yellow long sleeve and black slacks. She's so damn attractive.
I don't know who made me approach the girl. One thing is for sure that he is in front of me.
"Choose the blue," I said and I felt that she was surprised because of my sudden presence.
He looked up at me and my heart is going crazy, I mean, my heart skipped a beat.
She's beautiful, no-- that word is not enough to describe her looks. I have seen many beautiful female models. My girlfriend is beautiful too. But this one looks strange.
It's like a goddess, I'm sure many agencies have offered her to be a model.
Just like my friends, Art and Shin. The agency's wish did not happen because we threw away their calling cards. Besides, they were rejected.
He was still blinking from the shock. She cleared her throat and raised the blue necktie she was holding.
"You think so?" she said, her voice was cold and even her face was emotionless.
She is really amazingly beautiful. The way he stares seems to be judging you. It seems that even your personality is fully explored by him.
My hair stood up at the thought.
"Blue is your favorite color," she said and she even managed to look at me from head to toe.
Hmm, I wore my blue suit and she's right. fortune teller
"Lil brother, have you chosen a gift for Kuya Markus yet?" asked a man who looked a bit like him.
He was only a few inches taller than her.
W-Wait... Lil brother? What?
I parted my lips and looked at what I thought was a woman. Anyone would think she was a woman.
"Michael?"
Freak! Michael? He really is a man! I don't know why I felt disappointed knowing that she's--he's a boy.
Shit! I'm attractive to a boy! It's a bad thing, right? I have never been attracted to a man. But she is really too old to be a woman.
"Oh? I know you," said the newcomer suddenly.
She is already dating someone named Mikael.
"CEO Crimson Del Labiba, right?" he asked me.
I smiled. "Yes and you?" I asked back to him.
"I am Engineer Miko S. Brilliantes, business partner."
I remember. The Brilliantes' Firm is one of our business partners.
"Yeah, nice to see you here, Engineer Miko," I said with a smile and we both shook hands.
