It says that women who are born under the sign of Libra are quite friendly yet it's not easy to deal with if they get upset.

"Oh really?"  Says Tang shi as she listens to the radio announcer who presently voicing out his own idea towards zodiac signs.

It's the program on the radio about horoscopes!  Her daily routine before going out of their house. Like she bases her everyday life on it, thinking that her fortune for today is beyond her reach.

"It's not easy to go to school knowing that your far away from home?" she shrugged.  It's been three months of schooling and at the same time working after her class in the afternoon. She's got into it, waking up at 4 am prepare food for her relatives to whom she's very thankful, because they let her stay in their not so huge but not also small house. It's her relatives from her mother's side. Her cousins here are very thoughtful and they treat her well but she doesn't like to be a burden to them that's why as long as she could, she will also serve them breakfast as a thank you for their kindness towards her.

At 5 am she's doing her assignments that are supposed to be done at night but because of her night shift schedule from work, it's in no way possible. 6 am she tunes out the radio as she listens to her daily horoscope! This is her routine!  Always on the clock!  When it strikes  06:30 am that's her signal to finally off to School.

"Haysst!!!  Way to go! Walking is good for the body!" She said as she walks down through the alley...

"The air seems so cold today? Maybe the weather is not quite good and rain will be expected to pour down this afternoon she giggled like she is a weather expert!"

"Hahaha!  Too good to be true!"

  Humming sounds of the birds can be heard nearby after all their town is nature friendly. The officials are very responsible for keeping Mother Nature alive!  They preserve every ancestral house beyond the area. Walking on your own is safe here because all the nearby neighborhoods were friendly and always capable of helping each other. So peaceful, Shi smiles as she greeted uncle Ju An good morning!  It's their school janitor whom she happens to help on the other day.

"Good morning little miss shi! You're always early for school little miss!"  Smiles back the old man that she called uncle Ju an!  He nodded, this little miss is not blood-related to him but she's the one who helps him when he escaped from death because of his adopted son's wrongdoings. This little miss shi, he will help her find her true love soon.

"Hey, uncle Ju An?!  Brought you some bread," shi stretch out her arm to hand over the bread to her uncle Ju An, he smiles back and accepts it. She smiles, even more, that her dimple on her left cheek appears.

\================================================================

Meanwhile, Ang's Villa.

The oldest of the Ang family is about to marry someone. Even though it is against his will!

I'll divorce after six months Grandpa, Ethan suddenly burst out his anger.

"You!  How could you talk to me that way!  Marriage is not yet done but you are now talking about divorce!?"  Old man Ang points out his cane to his grandson angrily.

"How could you be so stubborn! You have to marry this young Lad to fulfill your grandma's last will!"

"If not?  All of your inheritance will be vanish all at once!"

"Senior? I beg you to please calm down," the private nurse, upon seeing the angry face of the old man she interrupted their conversation, she's well aware that it's not good for the old man Ang to be angry.

"It's not like that grandpa,  sorry if I upset you regarding divorce, I know that grandma's last will is your priority, but how about me? Knowing that I marry someone I don't even meet?" Ethan explains in a low voice to suppress the anger of the old man. How could he end up like this? A bachelor, girls gone wild crazy over him, for him, love is only a game!  Marriage is not listed on his private dictionary! His grandma?  Her last will!  It's like an arrow!  Stupid cupid does exist!

The only thing that he can recall was the embroidery of his late grandma.

Venus?  Now he realizes, that embroidery is the name of that lady that he will soon be married to.

"Alright! Alright!  As I've said earlier!  Two months after this conversation, you and this lady will tie the knot soon, and that's Final! Now, leave!"  Old man Ang said in an authoritative tone.

Ethan just walk away, he wanted to slam the door but he couldn't.  This lady venus!  He will make her life a living hell once they get married!  Who knows?  Maybe she's just a flirt or something? Like those women who chase after him.

\===============================================================

After her class, Shi is about to begin her daily routine!  Work until midnight!

It's her family that makes her feel active every day.

"Pull yourself!  Go to work!  Work hard!" She yelled out at herself!

"Ugh! Life, for now, it's so dull!" She shrugged.

It's just like yesterday, money is not bothersome to them but all of a sudden, it's been snatched away from them. If they can only foresee the future, her eldest sister's marriage is a trap. She may be the youngest daughter, but, she promises to herself, one day, she will put an end to the misery of her family.

Tears began to cover her eyes.

"You have to be strong!"

"S T R O N G!!!"  She recites every letter of it, as a reminder that there's no time for sentimental stuff like this.

Yesterday must be left behind. What more important now is, the promise of today.

She wiped out her tears!  How could grandma so supportive? She smiles, upon seeing her handkerchief specially embroidered by her grandma, -Venus.

Heading to work!

"Served this one!  VIP upstairs!  Faster!  We have to be more attentive tonight. The big boss is here!" Their manager hand over the liquor to her.

"Big boss? Oh!?  No tip for tonight," she thought.

Serving the big boss means no tip. This is expected because how could this big boss give tips to his own employees?

She glared at the bottle she's holding as if it is their big boss's face that she's looking at.

This big boss maybe some kind of big fat boss! She remembered her fellow employee being bullied by their big boss upon serving in the VIP room. She just doesn't know the entire story but her fellow employee said that he's cruel.

She knocks once, their manager told her that she only needs one knock at the door before she enters.

Nervous, she reaches the knob and twists it open.

"Cold and darkroom? What the hell?  Their big boss is a vampire?" As she thought to herself she suddenly smiles and maintains herself calm to stop her laughter to release. But the dimples on her cheek are no way to hide. The angelic aura that glowing on her face. The beauty that radiates within.

(Myra -E ?)

Sitting at the corner, Ethan stared at the door as he saw it unlocked. "Maybe, this one will satisfy my needs tonight," he taught, then emptied his glass.

Caleb, the manager of the bar that he trusted and hired is also a good friend of him. They grew up together, knowing that Ethan is a bit of a playboy, Caleb only hires beautiful and sexy women that attractive and pleasant to the eyes, which may also be a satisfying factor to his friend Ethan, if? They could meet his standards and taste as well.

Sexual harassment is not on Ethan's dictionary, because he is well aware and confident that women cannot resist his charm. Women chased him and that's a mere fact.

Shi, blinked her eyes and adapt to her surroundings to see the whole room, then spotted something at the corner.

"Awkward?"  She sighed,  "uhm uhm!"  (cleared throat)

"Big boss? My name is Shi,  sir Caleb asked me to bring this?" Then she lifted the bottle that she's holding. The smile on her face a while ago was already gone. She has to be serious about work.

Ethan knew that Caleb hired a month ago a new waitress, a college student.

"I don't bite! Hand over the bottle and stay here beside me!" An authoritative masculine voice suddenly heard, few seconds, sparkling lights suddenly come to glow, just enough to see her path through the corner where their so-called big boss sits.

A feeling of nervousness is now on its way up to her nerves.

She's scared. But she must do her work.

This woman is quite interesting. What a beautiful young lady?  Perfect!  Everything seems good to touch. But wait?  She must be the new girl, the college student.

"Seventeen?" But all in good shapes now.

He can see clearly that she's hesitant to walk in his direction.

"Innocent?"  He gulps his own saliva. Knowing that his manhood is beginning to arouse because of this good sight.

Ethan knew that the innocence of this young lady is real, not like those women who disguised themselves as innocent but in the end it just disgusting lies.

Though she's scared, Shi regains herself to be strong, it's now or never, she thought, Big boss said he don't bite. (Hahaha! Silly girl)

Her hands trembled, but she manages to calm herself and determine to do her work well.

As she hands over the bottle, she felt the Bigboss hand that strokes into the back of her hand feel like there's an electric shock that got into her.

Weird, this feeling, maybe because it's just her first time that someone from the opposite sex did this, a simple hand stroking method.

"Sit."

That masculine voice again from her big boss.

"Uhm?  Pardon Bigboss?  But? Where. Am. I. Gonna. Sit?"

Shi, felt nervous, this Bigboss is not a maniac, isn't he?  She calms herself down.

"Besides me."

That authoritative tone again from her Bigboss.

"Be... Side... You??? Big boss?"  She's now beginning to felt helpless.

Oh my? What to do?

One! Kick his face. Two,  scream. Three,? Runaway?

Well, it's just on her mind anyway.

"Yeah. No questions. Just do as I say.", he said as if there's no way to say No.

"The sofa is for one person capacity only," Shi taught to herself.

But the other side of it, maybe I'll just fit in.

With hesitation, she just followed.

Sitting like suffocating.

Their knees rub.

Then Shi felt a strange feeling of uneasy sensation down to her stomach.

No way!  Am I having my monthly period again?

This can't be happening, it's just five days after my monthly period.?

As she is in a daze, she didn't notice her big boss hands that gently strokes her shoulder.

"This young lady, sitting like a statue? Is she frigid?"

"Ethan, you fool! Stop what you're doing!  This is an innocent young girl!" His innermost angel warning made his senses behave.

"Your name again?"  He asked.

"It's, Shi!"  Bigboss.

"Kindness begets kindness," Shi, thought to herself to calm her nervous nerves.

"Maybe this boss is not like what she taught a while ago."

"Show kindness, have the courage, and be careful."

"Your age?" Husky voice.

"Uhm, seventeen, Bigboss, but,  on my information sheet I did it on purpose to change it to nineteen since I'm still a minor, I told them about it during my interview with manager Caleb.," she explains further, tried to act okay, and let out her best friendly smile, revealing the dimple on her cheek and moisten her lips with the tip of her tongue and bit her lower lip.

"Oh girl, your mistake!"  Ethan gasped, that's the most seductive lips and sweetest smile that he couldn't surpass now. A smile that he could barely see even the lights is somewhat not bright enough.

"If her smile is sweet, how about the lips?"  He put his thought into action, grab her waist, and captured her lips like a hungry lion eating his prey. Sliding his tongue to elope with her tongue.

"Oh, taste so sweet!  No wonder, she's only ..... seventeen!??! "****! ****! ****! Ethan, she's a minor" he hissed.

The thought of it made him stop, like a frozen thing splashed on his face. The splashed is so real,

The bucket of ice been poured on him,

This young lady, it's her reflexes and instinct that made her do it,

Not only that, she released a hard slap that made him wake up from his devilish desire.

"You!"  "That's my first kiss!" She yelled.

"It's for my husband in the future. You ruined it! My first kiss!!! huhuhuhu!"  Shi, burst out her tears, reaching for the handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Ethan felt a bit of guilt. But the slap made him get angry again,

"It's just a kiss young lady! Not your virginity!"  Ethan grabs her wrist as he stood up and stared at her angrily.

"The ice, that poured on me, it's okay."

"But,  the slap my dear?  I think I get my revenge for the slap!"

Ethan holds up her wrist, ready to get her slap revenge, but this lady quickly bites his hand and runs towards the door without taking any glances.

Ethan grabs his phone ready to call Caleb to give his restraining order but his eye caught something!  The handkerchief embroidery design, Venus!  Like the one that it's in his pocket!

The name Venus is also embroidered in this handkerchief. The style is like the one in his possession.

Caleb, about to go upstairs to his office, when he caught on his sight their new waitress, "Shi!!?"

"What's wrong?"

"Does Ethan yell at her?  Oh no, not again."

His friend doesn't like bragging about women, what Shi did? He sends Shi to Ethan because he knew that Shi is the shy, innocent type and also a hard-working one, serious about her work, not like her fellow waitress, willing to showcase their body for Ethan. She sends Shi because this young lady is not like those. This one is pure, innocent!

"But why is she crying?"

Shi, also saw Manager Caleb, she burst out everything that happened between her and the Bigboss, manager Caleb is nice to her, that's why she kinda trusts him regarding the scheme upstairs.

Caleb, wave up his hands, like he's trying to say, go home, I'll handle this.

Shi, understand it very well.

"Thank you, Manager Caleb,"  she bows down with respect also to his gestures.

Knocking once,  Caleb gently pushes the door to the VIP room.

"What have you done?"

"Is sexual harassment is not in your private dictionary?  But what did you do with the schoolgirl?"

Caleb explains Ethan's behavior.

Ethan glared at him.

"Her complete address. I want to know everything, about her."

"Oh come on man,??? she's just a schoolgirl, trying to make a living,  let her go. Don't play silly games with her."  Caleb ignored his orders.

"Her real name is Venus!  Isn't she?"

"Huh?  Venus?  Of course, not, Tang Shi is her full name, maybe she's from a Chinese family," Caleb exclaimed.

"Chinese? With that pair of big brown eyes?  You fool!  How could you be so fooled so easily now Caleb?"

"Big brown eyes?  Yeah,  I must've fooled by her., just like you now,  Hahaha!"  Caleb  Laugh at Ethan's glaring looks.

\==============================================================

Heading home,

Outside the bar.

She felt the cold outside.

She can also hear out the whistling of the wind.

"The heck, I forgot, the typhoon will landfall tonight", she thought, as she pulled her backpack.

She's like -Dora the explorer, all her things were inside this backpack, school uniform, school things, and also her uniform at work.

"No Cab yet, it's getting late already."

"If I'll walk through the avenue street, then pass the bridge, take the Reyes street, then the heritage houses. Well?  Home is not far from here, though," it's just a positive thought to regain her strength.

She is well aware that, taking those routes, means, she has to move faster, at least an hour of walking, "not bad at all, but the weather!?" she gasped.

Shi,  walk fast as she could, she must hurry, the weather forecast says that this typhoon could be the stronger typhoon to hit the country.

Luckily, she manages to send out some money the other day for their grocery supplies.

Now, she remembered her conversation with her eldest sister over the phone.

"Sis, I have to stock some groceries, we have to be prepared at times like this," her eldest sister on the other line explained.

Because she's in a hurry that day, shi, just kept on talking "yes," "I understand," "alright."  "Take care."

"Haixxt!"  Shi exhaled out.

Now, at the bridge.

"I've to walk real fast huh?  Yehey! To myself!" Shi, giving some word of encouragement to her own.

Lights suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Wait?!" she panicked.

"A car?!"

"Ahh!!  This one beeping at me?" she gasped.

She heard a beeping of a car awhile ago, but she dare not to stop, she just moves on the side, as if she's giving a wide space for the car driver.

A tall figure came out at the car,

She felt that all the colors on her body has been pulled out of her system...

"Shoot! I'm done."  She thought, Her knees are trembling.

"This devilishly oozing handsome creature followed me?" Venus thought, gulping her own saliva.

She knew how to fight, close combat but it's not the right time to showcase what she got under her sleeves.

And she felt also that every time he got so close to her, her knees trembled, becomes weak.
