Atty. Yhera is opening now the door of Seigfred’s office room. Seigfred’s Executive Assistant’s face is as pale as flour.
Unfortunately, it was Atty. Yhera who got the biggest surprise in her life. She was totally shocked by what she saw; Rhoda and Seigfred torridly kissing each other.
She wanted to faint; her heart was beating fast. “Seigfred.” She called but her tone was almost whisper-like, none of the two noticed her. She has no strength. She felt her knees shaking.
Without a word, she slowly sat on the nearby couch and looked at shockingly when Rhoda was trying to hold Seigfred’s manhood; Seigfred however with all of his force pushed away Rhoda and slapped her.
With what she saw Atty. Yhera again was too shocked. What is happening? Her mind is shouting but she cannot say any word. It is as if her tongue has left her.
When Seigfred saw his shocked fiancée inside his room, his blood almost left his face. He wanted to slap Rhoda once again.
Rhoda on one hand laughed out loud when she saw the shocked expression of Atty. Yhera.
“Hello Atty. Yhera, you liked what you saw?” Then she laughed again.
Atty. Yhera was awakened upon hearing Rhoda’s loud laughed. Her teeth gritted and suddenly she stood up, faced Rhoda and with sharp eyes said, “Get out of here, you fucking bitch.”
Rhoda however instead of getting out of the room, even moved her face nearer to Atty. Yhera and mockingly insulted Seigfred’s fiancée, “You are too frigid Atty. Yhera, that’s why Seigfred called me.” The she laughed insultingly.
A dark moment flashed through Atty. Yhera’s mind and she forgot that she was a well admired lawyer, writer and speaker. Her left hand at once made an upper cut hitting the chin of Rhoda, almost breaking it. Rhoda fell down and sat on the floor.
Without any warning, Atty. Yhera stepped forward and gave Seigfred a punch on his face. Then without a word, she stormed going out of his office.
Everything has been witnessed by Seigfred’s Executive Assistant who was not able to do anything but to cover her mouth with her hands.
After getting into his senses, Seigfred weakly sat on his executive chair, looked at Rhoda and with a stern voice said, “Get out of here Rhoda! For goodness sake get out of my life!”

Atty. Yhera walked speedily out of the SYS Building. Her limbs are shaking. As she reached her Montero at the car park, she hurriedly climbed inside. Inside her Montero she poured all her tears. How could Seigfred do this to her? She absolutely trusted him but she cheated on her!
Seigfred with a hurried pace, walked out of her room leaving Rhoda there, who seemed to have came to her senses now. He directly went to the car park. She knows that Yhera is still there. He saw it in their CCTV, which he has access in his computer.
When Seigfred saw Yhera’s Montero, he quickly gets there and knocks on her window at the driver’s side. Despite his knocks, Yhera did not open the car. Until after a while, she started the car’s ignition and left, leaving Seigfred there whose face was too worried and disgruntled.
Seigfred called Mommy Lily, Yhera’s Mother. He needs to talk to her. He needs to explain. He did not know how but he knows in his heart he did not cheat on Yhera.
As Mommy Lily picked-up the phone, Seigfred could not find the right words to say.
“Hello Seigfred, are you there?” Mommy Lily asked on the other line.
“Yes, Yes Mom.” The kind woman already told him to call her Mom like Yhera. She considered him already as her own son.
“Yes Seigfred?” Mommy Lily’s voice is soft and encouraging.
“Mom, I intentionally hurt Yhera. I swear I did not mean to. What she saw is not what she thinks. Just, just want you to know that I truly love Yhera and she is the woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life.” Seigfred’s voice almost faltered.
“Seigfred whatever it is, you and Yhera should try to settle it. She is not yet around by the way. Just hang on and be patient. If she felt cheated or whatever, I know, it will take time for her to trust again. You have to explain well and let her feel that she is thinking differently with whatever she has seen.” Mommy Lily’s words are very motherly. She never sides to her daughter automatically. Seigfred can tell that he is very lucky to have her as his soon-to-be mother-in-law.
“I will, I will Mom. Thank you for not judging me right away,” Seigfred sincerely said to Mommy Lily.
The woman on the other line assured Seigfred again that she will talk with her daughter in proper time; meaning if Yhera seemed to be pacified already.
The Executive Assistant of Seigfred approached Rhoda. “Ms. Rhoda, you better leave now please.”
Rhoda who is still inside Seigfred’s office, sitting on the couch suddenly felt the embarrassment she never had in her entire life before. She nodded to Seigfred’s Executive Assistant and left the office head down. She walked quickly to the car parking. When she saw Seigfred from a distance, she hides herself in a parked black SUV. She felt too guilty and embarrass right now to face him.
Seigfred gets inside his red jaguar and decided to drives home directly. He is alone at home. His parents are already divorced. His Mom is already living in Las Vegas while his Dad is here in the Philippines, with a new wife already. All he has right now is Yhera and his old Mayordoma who is treating him as her own son. His Mayordoma was his nanny since birth.
On one hand, Seigfred’s Executive Assistant felt too guilty too for what happened. She could have tried her best to block Ms. Rhoda from entering his boss’ room considering that his boss already instructed her before about her. Also, she should have not allowed Atty. Yhera to get inside his boss’ office outright. She should have made alibis to bring her first to any other place until Ms. Rhoda got out of the office.
Seigfred’s Executive Assistant almost cried out of guilt and desperation. What will happen now to his boss and Atty. Yhera? What will happen to their upcoming wedding?
