MY SECRET CRUSH

MY SECRET CRUSH

"The Familiar Man"

Hi, my name is Ashley Smith, Half Pilipina/ Half Canadian. I am 17 years old from Philippines but currently living in Alta Vista of Ottawa Canada together with my dad (Radnor Smith). We've been here for about 5 years? I'm not really sure but I guess it is. My mom (Reese Smith) and my brother (Rocky Smith) are both living in the Philippines. My mom owned a university in the Philippines and my dad is currently managing our company he inherited from my grandparents here in Ottawa Canada.

My dad keeps on reminding me every day to study hard so that I can take over some of our businesses. But as of now, my mindset is to enjoy, just like other 17 years old girls out there. So, here I am right now at the mall buying some stuffs like branded clothes, bags and shoes.

"Are you done ma'am?” Ashley's private chauffeur asked.

“Wait a minute po. I forgot to buy something” Ashley responded.

*Addressing elders and authority figures in Filipino culture requires using honorifics like ‘po’ and ‘opo’ to show respect. This is a sign of respect deeply ingrained in Filipino society*

“You can take your time Ma'am” Ashley's private chauffeur responded and took all the paper bags on her hands." l will bring these to the car. Just let me know once you're done ma'am" he added.

"Thank you, you can go ahead now. l'll send you a message once I'm done." Ashley responded.

*Ashley's private chauffuer left*

*Ashley POV* While I am roaming around the mall looking for something\, someone caught my attention. At first\, I ignored it but when I pass by he looked at me and our eyes meet for a minute I guess. After a few steps away from him\, I remember someone who's similar with that guy. I think I've seen him before but I can't remember when and where.
