Because I fell asleep early in the morning so I woke up late. And i was not able to eat my breakfast.
When she arrived at the workstation, Kathy immediately approached her.
"We have new Engineers, and they're all good looking, guys." She told me.
"Wow! Good looking. And it really came from you Kathy, huh?" I reacted to her.
"I thought you don't like men?" Janice said.
"In a relationship but I know how to appreciate the creation of god." She defended herself.
"I thought only Koreans in a drama appreciates you?" Said Thalia.
"They're also handsome! What will i do? If they captured my delicate heart?" She said passionately.
"You are so corny" I replied. "The time is so long." I complained while looking at my watch. "I'm hungry huhuhu".
"That's what happen to late comers . You should take me for ecamples, even if I'm pregnant i'm always early. I'm always 1hour ahead of time." said Janice.
"It's 9:30am still. You should ask your stomach worms to wait more longer." Thalia laughed.
"You don't want to take a break?" She asked them.
"I'm full". Janice complained holding her stomach. They just looked at Janice and they didn't comment anymore. Because it is obvious that it is still full. Actually full even more.
At 10 am she was one of those who hurried out to the canteen. She hurriedly walk because they only had a 10mins break.
She needs to eat rice. Bread alone can not satisfy his hunger and their lunchbreak is 12 noon.
She was distracted by groups of engineers sitting at the far end. Because they laugh so hard and they maybe think they are the only people.
She would have ignored them when he heard one of them mention the name James.
She turned to them.
She stopped walking and her eyes widened staring at the person he was referring to.
She was dazzled.
'Why is he here and why is he with our engineers ?. She just ignore it afterwards. And didin't pay more attention with him.
She tried to ignore what she saw and continued to get food. She only have 6mins more so she had to hurry.
"I heard that one of our new engineers are from the states" said Thalia.
"And where did you heard those gossips?" Kathy asked.
"I heard the HR people talking about them." Thalia said.
"Wow really? I'm excited to meet him."Kathy said.
I just quietly listened to them. I still absurb everything. I can't imagine that we will meet here again. After all these years that I was quietly inside, he suddenly appeared.
After 5 years we meet again. How ironically, I am an HM grad but I work in a production and he is an engineer but in this feild.
"Why are you silent now?" Kathy commented.
"I'm just sleepy" she reasoned.
"Do you still not want to talk about the guy, last Monday?". Janice asked.
"I don't want to keep secrets from you guys but I still don't want to talk about him" she explained.
"We will wait until you are ready to talk about that". Thalia said.
"Thank you" was her short answer.
The day passed quickly it's been 1 week already since the last time I saw him.
"Listen guys" their TL calls attention to them. "Today our engineers will do rounds and to show our new engineers this work area. And those who are assigned in machines please, don't ever make mistakes. No talking no roaming arounds, is that clear?"
"Yes TL" they all answered.
She stand up straight when they entered. She was nervous trying to focus. Why did she has to be assigned to the machine today.
Even though the aircon was strong, she was still sweating profusely. Maybe he won't notice me, because she is wearing a bunnysuit that only his eyes can see.
When they were near with her, she just focused on the machine. She did not even look back when they passed by.
She was thankful that she was not asked to do a demo and their engineer just explain it to him, whatever it was for.
When she thought they were gone she turned around. Which is a wrong move. She met his stares. He looked at her intently. In a serious way.
She immediately turned her gaze to her machine.
She became alert when they're about to leave from work. Those stares of him earlier are telling her something. She guess that he might be outside the company, waiting. But she's afraid to met him. Her heart might betray her.
And she made no mistake, he was outside the gate and leaning on his car.
She immediately pulled his friends to the other side of the road.
The pregnant woman immediately complained. "Elle it's hot on this side. Why won't we just stay there on the other side".
"It's not too hot," she excused herself. "And then it's over crowded on that side so we'll stay here" she excused.
"I have an umbrella here Janice, if you want" Kathy offered.
"No thanks, i'm too tired to hold it."
She secretly glanced at the other side. And he does not notice them.

Meanwhile.

'It's been more than an hour but Shane still hasn't left the company' James thought. I'll just wait for her the next day. I still have a lot of times, he reminded himself.
When he arrived home, his Mom Sherie greeted him immediately. He was adopted by her so he was very grateful to them. He was 15 years old when the couple adopted him.
And he will do everything to at least reciprocate everything it has given him.
"How's the company?" She asked immediately.
"Doing good and everything is perfect. I was able to inspect everything and roam every department as their new engineer of course" he said proudly here.
"You know that you can do more than that. You can have the company if you wanted, and not their engineers only." she reminded.
"Mom" he softly hugged her. "You know that i want to do it on my own. I want them to acknowledge my capability not because I'm your son but because I can."
"If that's what you want. By the way your father keeps on reminding me about this coming holiday, he wants us to be there".
"I'm not sure if i can. We're kind of busy this coming weekend. We have a new model orders and i need to be there."
"That's what i said before. Once you start your job in the company, you'll start to forget me. You know how important this is to your father".
"He'll understand. I'll talk to him."
"Ok if that's what you want." She surrendered.
After their small talked. He went upstairs.
5 years have passed. Still, Shane is still the one he wants. She is the only one that he wants after all those years. And now that he's back, he'll make sure to make her fall again. He made mistake once and he already paid for it by losing her. And now by hook or by crook he is going to have her no matter what.
'Is she still single?'. He asked himself.
I hope so, because I can't see her with anyone else.
He and his mother returned to their hometown. They want him to take over their business. They are the owners of one of the largest camera manufacturing companies.
He wants to study all the ins and outs first before accepting his father's offer.
But he never thought that Shane was working for their company. He thought that she'll be managing one of those biggest hotels in their town once they'll met again. But fate brings him to her.
He wanted to know everything about her since they separated. He was just embarrassed to ask her older brother because of what had happened before. And he knows that Anton already knew what he did to his sister......
