She was so strong that no one could ever break. A woman whose foundation is herself — cold, smart and always ten times ahead, meet a charismatic, logical and impossible to outsmart guy she never imagined.  When people around them find them "perfect imperfect couple" which they were trapped in a wit of game, pride & calling found themselves in a match made in heaven. Not every puzzle is meant to be solved. They are meant to fall in love.

After that discussion, I couldn't help but feel intimidated by his presence.

Kasing edad ko lang siya pero nagawa niya agad maging Senior Operations Manager.

I found myself wondering how lucky he must've been to grow up in a well-off family. Maybe success came easier for someone like him.

Habang dumaraan ako sa operations floor, may mga bulungan akong naririnig.

Matthew was already reviewing a stack of documents, completely focused on his work. There was no reason to tell him I was leaving—he already knew.

Hindi sila nagtatrabaho

Nanonood sila.

Nagbubulungan pa.

Human CCTV.
