They walked along the pavement down the street, walking aimlessly.

The street had become busier and there was many sights of couples walking around with a smile, hands held and touched in one pocket. Whispering to themselves without a care of who was watching.

Niko peaked at Rapheal's finger and she wondered if they still held the warmth from the night before.

There was a guy playing a guitar at one side of the street and a small crowd had gathered.

The experience was novel, Niko stopped, taking notes with interest. Rapheal stood protectively by her left shielding her from the rush of people.

The song was valentine themed and the guitarist played beautifully. At the end everyone clapped enthusiastically and some sincere ones dropped some money in his hat.

Taking a turn around a corner they walked into an open space. They were much people, with stalls set up neatly at the side.

A large expense of ice spread out in a circle, barricaded around the edge. It was an outdoor ice rink.

    Meanwhile Ethan had not been doing well since he was promoted to the headquarters.Currently he was standing outside the senior executive of the Hr department's door, waiting to be received.He let out a sigh when the door creaked open, a lady in a black, tight pencil skirt walked out, her voluminous hair fell behind her reaching her waist.Ethan offered her a polite smile but she just walked pass after a single glance, as if she didn't see him. The smile on his lips faltered and he clenched his fist, almost forgetting what he was there for until a voice shouted angrily from inside the office."What are you waiting for? If you are just going to stand there then just close the door and leave.""I am sorry sir." Ethan hurriedly apologized, pulling himself together.When he first arrived at his new post he was very excited and had thought this was just the beginning of his journey to a new height. However just a few days into it and he realised that he might have willingly walked into h

    The moment he returned from the short trip Rapheal was thrown into a web of work.While monitoring the ongoing construction for the mall in progress he noticed something wrong with the materials that was been supplied.He had personally reviewed the contract with the supplier and indeed the first batch was exactly what they had agreed on, but the batch after that consisted of substandard materials.This was brought to his attention by the project manager he put in charge. Rapheal frowned. Such a thing was not only dangerous but could also cause a lot of trouble if it was to be brought up in the future.As his first real project he had taken extra caution with everything yet something like this happened.There was a knock on the door and a man with a slightly hunched posture walked in stiffly."Good afternoon Mr Rapheal." He greeted with a weary smile. "I wasn't in when you called my assistant requesting to see me. I apologize for the delay."Rapheal didn't reply, instead he gestured

    The next day the weather was bright and sunny. It showed signs of a good day to play outdoor.Rapheal woke up in a good mood, it was one of those morning he had nothing planned to do and he was a bit lost on how to spend it.After lying around in bed for a bit more, he stood up and walked to the room next door.At the second knock, the door was thrown open and he was greeted by Niko dressed in her favorite fluffy SpongeBob pyjamas."Bold choice." Rapheal eyes her then commented.Niko frooze, realizing that she had been exposed. Embarrassed but unable to retreat, she could only put on an unimpressed look as she asked."Is there something I can help you with?" Rapheal coughed, resisting the urge to poke on her secret side even more. He said naturally. "I wanted to go out for breakfast, would you like to join?" "Where?" As an introvert who loved lounging in dark places the most, Niko's answer was a 'no' but then she remembered she was on the trip to find an inspiration for her new nove

    Rapheal eyes darken and he excused himself before walking over. Unknown to him, Mr Edward and his wife were right behind him."What happened?" He asked Niko, but before she could respond the other girl suddenly reacted."I am sorry. I am sorry, I didn't mean to. I just saw you and wanted to talk to you, but I dont know how I tripped!" She looked in her early teens, fifteen or so. Her face was red from lack of breath as she apologized repeatedly. The sincerity in her voice was hard to ignore."It's okay." Niko replied indifferently. Her tone seemed to make the girl panic even more.She looked at the empty glass in her hand, lamenting how she managed to trip when there was nothing in the way. "How about I compensate you for the dress? I will do anything, just don't dislike me."Surprised by her words, Niko frowned. "I didn't say I dislike you.""You don't?" Her eyes widen with hope, stuttering as she said. "I...I am a big fan of you, I read 'ss top up levelling' and I really love the bo

    Niko unconsciously retreated behind Rapheal as they stepped out the car and he stepped forward to shield her from the paparazzi's camera that kept flashy non stop.Of course he knew that the attention in him was not in a good way.Considering his reputation as a trash-son-law that was being kept and his recent success in his publishing company everyone was anxious to get a whiff of information from him. Afterall he hardly showed himself in public.His eyes browsed through the crowd of photographers with a cold gaze and they subconsciously stepped back and stoped shoving the cameras at their face.Without wasting time, he took Niko by the hand and lead her into the hall.They weren't early so the event was already in full swing. Their seat wasn't at the front but not far off either."Rapheal. Didn't expect to see you here." He turned around and saw a familiar face walking towards him.No, two familiar faces.Riley stood besides Austen, his hand resting on the small of her back. She loo
