Catherine was annoyed checking at her phone in regular interval. She had sent a total of 30 quick messages to John the whole day and in return she only got...whaaat? 5 only? So annoying! How busy is he down there in Zamboanga Del Sur? That he can't even send her a quick reply? As if? Hmmp! Tomorrow she won't send him a single message! She shoved her phone in the pocket of her pants.

She pushed her trolley inside the elevator to deliver her rounds of essentials to the 5th floor. She delivered the requested tissue on suite #4 and 5. She was about to go back to the 4th floor when the door to the suite #3 opened, he saw Mike emerging from the door.

Their eyes met.

He walked towards her. "Nice to see you again Beauty!"

"Hello Sir Mike," she replied with a dry smile.

"So, I heard that your wedding got canceled, may I know the reason why?" he asked with curiosity.

She frowned at his question. "Huh? how did you know, Sir?"

"Because I send somebody to check on your wedding. I'm not sorry that your wedding didn't push through. That means I still have a chance to marry you one day," he winked at her playfully.

She rolled her eyes.

"Look, why don't you go out with me for a date? So that we can get to know each other better," he asked her formally.

"Sir, I told you before I already had a boyfriend. My future husband and I will be rescheduling the civil wedding within three months."

"Ah, I see you are still together with your boyfriend. Do you know what-? I have this strong feeling that you will end up with me in the end. Like I always see us saying our I do's in front of the church's altar. I have dreamed of our wedding a dozen times already that is why I can't let you go. I have a feeling that it will become a reality very soon."

Catherine sighed. 'I think this guy, has a big problem with his head, fantasizing of her who already had a boyfriend and soon going to be married,' she thought to herself.

"Why don't you go with me and visit our house again? The one that I previously brought you along with. Did you still remember that new house that I brought for us?"

Yes, of course, she remembers that particular house. "No. Thanks, Sir! The woman you should bring there with you is your girlfriend," she suggested.

"I don't have a girlfriend. What I want is a wife as beautiful as you that is why I propose marriage to you because you are my type. I am looking forward to spending my life with you if you let me. I'm not gonna force you or something, I just wish that you will go on a date with me. To see how deserving and worthy I am of your love and affection. You still have that calling card that I give you?" he asked.

She shook her head. "I dunno. I haven't seen it and I forgot where did I put it."

He sighed. "No problem. I have some calling card in my wallet." He opened his wallet and took one calling card and gave it to her.


Catherine hesitated to accept it.

"Come on, accept it! It's not that you will die if you accept it. It's just a piece of paper!" he insisted.

Catherine shrugged her shoulders and accepted the piece of paper and put it in her pants pocket.

"I will go now, Sir Mike. I still have to finish my rounds on the 4th floor."

"Okay. Take care, Catherine! See yeah around!" He entered his suite.

Catherine saw that he was already inside his room. She fished out the calling card from her pants and throw it in the thrash can in the corner.

She didn't see that Mike had opened his door and saw her threw the calling card into the trash can. He shook his head thoroughly bothered and dismayed by her action. I will get you one day Catherine! he told himself.

...

Catherine and Sherry were eating lunch in the cafeteria.

"Sir Mike is back! Your prince charming is back!" said Sherry giggling, winking at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Nah. He is not my Prince Charming."

"Remember what I told you before, if you two will do something, just do it outside so that you will be safe." Sherry giggled again like a high school teenager.

She was amused by Sherry's playing cupid between her and Mike. "We won't go out. Besides I already had a boyfriend."

Sherry looked at her in disbelief. "Really? Who is he? I didn't hear you talking openly about him. When are you going to introduce him to me? You're being secretive my friend."

"You will meet him soon!"

Sherry was feeling excited. "I'm looking forward to it. Your boyfriend must be super duper handsome because you are beautiful. If I had your beauty, men will be lining up in front of me. I will only choose the best, the most handsome and the richer the better."

"Are you being materialistic dear?" she asked amused by her friend's preference when it comes to men.

"No. Please don't say that. You have to understand that we women have to give up everything just to serve our husband day in and day out. During day time we do endless household chores then take care of the children. At night when you are already so tired, your husband comes home and you will be serving him at night especially his needs for sex. As you can see, women are very tired, worn out and being used over and over again. That is a huge sacrifice we women have to do if we got married. So what is the point of marrying a poor husband? You will only suffer in poverty for the rest of your life. That is why if you had the beauty and the body to die for, make sure you marry the right guy especially the loaded one. So, as not to waste your God-given beauty."

Catherine stared at Sherry thoroughly amused.

"How about if you meet an ugly but wealthy and generous guy? What will you do?" she asked.

Sherry pondered for a moment. "Hmmm...ugly but wealthy? I'll take that! There's a downside of having a good looking wealthy husband, they might cheat with other women behind your back later on 'coz they had the look to brag and the money to buy any women they like. But for the ugly guy with wealth, I guess they will be much more devoted and loyal to you because they are lacking with good looks, they will be in constant fear that you will go for the handsome ones and leave them behind."

Catherine smiled at her friend and gave her a thumbs up sign. Now he finally understood why John was so possessive of her.
