Prologue
I look at my reflection in the mirror.
Blush on. Check
Lipstick. Check
Eye brows. Check
Powder. Check
High heels. Check
Hair. Check
I stare at my reflection again. "You can do it, Eunice! You can do it" I tell myself. This is the first day of my work of being a housekeeping inspector in a condominium here in Makati. This condominium is pretty famous, there are a lot of foreigners that own a unit here and there are also some celebrity that lives here. I just got promoted two days ago, I used to work here as a Front desk agent but after a year, my prayer have been answer and I got a promotion.
This is my first job and as a 24 year old woman, it is a big achievement for me to be an inspector, I'm the youngest inspector here, and being an inspector needs a lot of experience. That's why a lot of employee roll their eyes on me when they heard that I am promoted to be a housekeeping Inspector. This is my first job, and I've been working here for more than a year.
I turn around at the mirror to see how my ass looks like. I'm about to leave the room when someone slap my butt. My blood immediately goes up to see who it was.
"You don't have to look in the mirror honey. You are already beautiful" Nathan wink as he looks at me from head to toe with a dirty look in his eyes. Nathan is one of the inspectors that I have to obey when I was a front desk agent, but now that I'm in the same position as him, I don't think he has the right to disrespect me anymore.
I straight my body and raise my eyebrows and turn on my b***h mode. "I know," I said with a disgusted look in my face. "and I think you should be the one who needs to look in the mirror" I look at him from head to toe with my poker face. He just chuckles.
I lean down at him because this ugly man is a short guy. I'm a tall women plus I'm wearing a 3-inches heels right now so I have to lean down like I'm talking to a teenager to be in his level. Our face is now only inches away and I can see how ugly this pervert guy is.
"You have a bugger," I said with a bitchy tone, and I roll my eyes at him. I straight my body and look down on him. "Ugh! That's disgusting!" I added.
I can see how piss he is right now. I walk past at him and make my biggest and elegant exit. I even heard him say something but I ignore it.
When I already got out in the room, I breath deeply. I think I forgot how to breathe for a second.
"Nice job Eunice" I mutters.
I'm on the same position as him now, I won't let him disrespect me again just how he always did before.
I enter the elevator and click the ground floor. This condominium is one of the biggest condos in the Philippines. We have 4 building with 40 floors in total, like a normal condominium, we have gyms, restaurant, swimming pool, rooftop, everything that a condominium should have. I also decided to rent a unit here to make it easy for me.
When the elevator hit the ground floor, I immediately wear my smile and walk in the front desk. Some employee greets me and I just smile and bow at them. I check if everything is fine in here and yeah everything is hella fine.
The huge chandelier that hanging from the ceiling will literally catch your eyes, this lobby is very wide that can accommodate hundreds of people, the tiles are gold that matches the color of the ceiling and chandelier. We have three long front desks and wherever you look, you will notice that even the employee looks elegant. The huge automatic entrance is transparent so, you can have a peak if you are outside the building.
"Good morning ma'am! uhm" Abigail greets me as I reach the front desk. I just smile at her.
"Ma'am I just want to remind you that the arrival of the inspectors from New York that book an inquiry last month will be at 9:30 AM to look for a unit" She add.
"Can you please give me their profile?" I say as I extend my hand. She immediately passes me the folder that contains the profiles of the inspectors from New York that plans to stay here for a while and do their thesis. The directors and shareholders of this condominium plans to build a branch in New york. So, there will be some inspectors that sent here to evaluate and make a study about this condominium.
I have been preparing for their arrival since yesterday. This is the first duty that I will handle after being promoted. Sir. Abaja, the head of housekeeping department told me that we should accommodate them well, give them free accommodation and treat them as a VIP guest because the future of this condominium will depends on their evaluation.
I look at my wrist watch. 9:05 AM, I still have 20 minutes to check if everything's fine in housekeeping department.

After checking the housekeeping department, I immediately go back in the lobby to greet and give a tour for the inspectors. I'm now in the lobby with Lily and Conan. We are in-charge in accommodating them.
After waiting for a couple of minutes, I can see Abigail leading a lot of white Americans towards us. When they already enter the building, Abigail introduces us to them.
I already saw all of their profiles, and they should be 20 in total, 8 women and 12 men. I count them all but it seems like there's someone missing.
We introduce our self to them and shake their hands. "I think there's someone missing. We are expecting a 20 inspector from New York" I said, wearing my sweetest smile.
They all look at each other trying to find out who is missing. "Uhm, I'm very sorry Ms. Villarico he is in emergency call right now, but don't worry it will be quick" A very tall guy that I can't almost see his mouth because of his mustache and beards speak. He has a black hair and brown eyes which I remember his name is Joe Smith, 37 years old.
Well, I studied their profiles yesterday.
"Oh, No problem sir Smith. May I know the name of the missing one" I asks.
Mr. Smith look surprise when I say his name. He was about to say something. "Well, I review all of your profiles. You don't need to wonder about how did I know all of your name" I said. Some of them laugh, and some of them smile at me.
"His name is Harry Davis" The guy with the chocolate brown eyes, from what I remember he is Mr. Elijah Williams, 25 years old. I look at him from head to toe. He has a broad shoulder, I can see his bicep muscle because he is wearing a polo shirt that shows how sexy he is. His black hair is perfectly matching his light brown skin tone. He has a clean, shaved face which emphasizes his jawline and pale lips that looks so sexy too. I shake my head to remove the dirty thoughts in my mind. What am I thinking?
"Thank you Mr. Williams. So, I guess we just have to wait fo---"
"No need to wait, I'm already here" we all look to the person who just enter the lobby. He walks towards us and aligns his self. I was about to introduce my self to Mr. Davis but my phone suddenly ring. I look at it for a second. My sister is calling, maybe its an emergency. I look at all the inspector and excuse myself.

I comeback after I talk to my sister, its nothing important. She just congratulates me about my promotion. I walk towards them who are about to enter the elevator.
Conan enter the elevator together with a nine inspector, while Lily also accompanies nine of our inspector. We plan to give them a room tour in the 40th floor because there are only few people rent a unit there, so, it is the best floor to let them look and roam around. And I'm one of that few people, I choose to rent a unit in the 40th floor because of the same reason why we'll give a tour.
Mr. Smith, I and the guy that I assume Mr. Davis, the late one earlier, who is now in the middle of the phone call is the only person here. I look at Mr. Smith, and I'm about to say something when "Sorry for making you wait, I just really need to answer this one" Mr. Davis said as he walks towards while looking at Mr. Davis.
I got the chance to stare his face. He has an ocean blue eyes. His dark brown hair gives him a Leonardo di Caprio vibes from Titanic movie because of his hairstyle. His jaw and his red sexy lips are perfectly shaped and his thin pointed nose matches his thick dark brown eyebrows. And I almost drool when I notice his bicep muscles and collarbone. He is wearing a long sleeve polo that perfectly fits on his body, he kept the two button open so, everyone can have a better look on his sexy muscles. What the hell? Where did this man come from?
"I'm sorry, what is your name again?" He asks me, looking directly in my eyes and I almost lose myself, I suddenly forgot my name and I don't know what ro answer.
It takes me a seconds before I speak. "Y-you can call me Ms. Villarico" I stutter.
"I'm Harry Davis, nice to meet you Ms. Villarico" he extends his hand for shake hands but I didn't notice it because I'm busy staring at his blue eyes. I don't know but I feel like I already seen that eyes before. He looks so familiar to me. I just stare at him trying to remember when did I saw that ocean blue eyes before. His nose, his eyes, his lips and the way he talk, I really think I know him. He looks so familiar, I already saw him before, I'm certain about that.
He takes back his hand that is offering a shake hands and he clears his throat that makes me wake up from my thoughts. "Shall we?" Mr. Davis asks while pointing in the elevator that just open.
I feel shy because I know that he notice that I was mesmerized by his eyes, Oh change that, I was mesmerized by his Goddess look.
We are about to enter the elevator when Mr. Smith speak. "I'm sorry can you excuse me for a while? I really need to use a comfort room"
"Sure Mr. Smith, we'll just wait for you" I replied.
"No, no, no, you don't need to wait for me. Both of you should go first" He said. "But si---" He cuts me.
"40th floor, right?" He asks. I just nod then Mr. Smith immediately left us. Oh boy! why does it have to happen? I don't want to be alone with this gorgeous guy. I might forget my job and do weird things.
Mr. Davis gets inside the elevator, and I follow him. I click the 40, and the elevator starts to work.
Harry. Harry. Harry? I'm really sure that I have already met someone named Harry before. I just really can't remember when, where or how. Or maybe I'm just overthinking? Maybe he just resembles some celebrity that's why, or maybe he is just too gorgeous that is why I keep thinking about him although we are together right now.
We are the only person in the elevator right now, he is standing in my left side. The door of the elevator is mirror, so I can see him in the reflection. He is just standing while staring at the floor. I notice that he has a tattoo on the back of his neck, I can't clearly see the words or maybe phrase because it is written vertically and his polo is blocking the tattoo.
When I look at him in the reflection, our eyes met and my knees suddenly shiver. I don't know but the way he stares gives a chill in my whole body.
I immediately remove my eyes at his. I clear my throat because feel awkward, no one's dare to talk or to say something. I want to ask him if he knew me but there's something that stopping me. I don't like his aura, and I don't think we'll get along with each other.
I try to look at him again in the reflection he is still looking at the floor. Ugh! This is awkward. Why is it that no one uses the elevator today?
The elevator stops when it hit the 19th floor. Two teenager girls enter, I feel relief. Thanks God, you heard my prayer.
"Look at this one" The girl said and then she shows her phone to other girl. "He is cute, right? I can't believe that he just like me" she giggles.
"OH MY GOD!! Really? He is damn hot, girl. I'm jealous" The other girl said and pouts her lips. They seem like they don't care even if we're here.
"I told you not to uninstall the app" She says then her roll her eyes.
"I don't want it to uninstall it either but if my boyfriend found out that I'm using a dating app, he'll probably break up with me." She defends.
The two girls get off when the elevator hit the 34th floor. I chuckle as I remember that I also use the dating app before.
Wait.
dating app?
Harry?
S*x?
There's a sudden flashback of my memories to my mind.
"Take it off."
"F*ck! you are so hot."
"Now insert your finger."
I shake my head from the memories that I remember. My knees softened, and I suddenly have difficulty breathing. I remember it now, I remember Harry. My legs are shaking right now.
This can't be happening, of all the people why does it have to be him? I don't want to see him again. I don't want to talk about what happened and what we've done before. It was already in the past, and it was a mistake.
"Ms. Villarico, we're already here. Lets go" My whole body literally shiver as I heard him talk. He looks at me in the eyes, waiting for me to get off in the elevator. I try to step closer to him but my knees became softer and I suddenly slipped.
"ow s**t! My ankle," I mutter. I feel a hand touching my shoulder. I look up to see who it is. Our eyes met, and I feel thousand electricity runs through my body. Those ocean blue eye, how stupid I am to forget him?
"What happen? Are you okay?" I froze at his question. I literally can't move, I feel like I'm paralyze.
Doesn't he remember me? Oh I wish he doesn't.
What a f*cking coincidence.
I remember him very well. Those eyes that watched me while I'm f*cking myself. Those mouth that command me on what to do. I clearly remember him now. He is Harry, the first guy that saw me naked.
The guy that I had s*x online 4 years ago.
