I knew I have to start my day with a positive outlook in life. But something unpleasant welcomed me today. Something dragging and uncomfortable.

"So, what brings you here?" It was the jerk named Cotton Rain Velasquez.

I looked around if his name is present on the coffee shop where I am currently in. I returned my gaze to him and said, "didn't see your name anywhere. Why do you care?"

Cotton chuckled and crossed his arms over his chest and looked closer into my eyes. I have to step back since he is becoming too close for comfort.

"In case you didn't know, Soft Brews is named after me." He declared raising an eyebrow. He was at the counter top and I was seated on the stool.

"Okay. In case you don't know, I am meeting my client, Lionel —" I said and he cut me off by continuing my sentence.

"— Lionel Sun Velasquez. My brother." He said and winked at me. I blinked and true enough, a spitting image of him, walked from the stairs to my side.

"You must be Brittany Sandejas. Nice meeting you, finally." The guy, who looks a lot like Cotton, gave me a smile and I almost gaped at the truth in front of me.

Cotton has a twin!

Not just a twin!

An identical one, to be exact!

"Caramel Macchiato for Brittany." The waitress said and placed my order on top of the counter. "Good evening, Sirs Cotton and Lionel."

"Told you so." Cotton chortled and I refrained from making rude remarks with his twin brother around.

In only a few moments, the waitress returned with their usual coffee. It's enough to say that they are indeed the owners of this coffee shop I am in.

"So, shall we begin?" Lionel asked and sat on the stool across mine. With his mustard long-sleeved shirt and slacks, he looks so debonaire in it.

Cotton, on the other hand, in his blue polo shirt and black denims, looks so laid-back and casual.

It must really be true that even how identical twins can be, they can be as different as night and day.

"Yes. So, we have new pairs of leather shoes and running shoes that are bound to be released in two months. May I ask if you can be the endorser of our products?" I said without hesitation.

Sipping on his coffee, Lionel lifted his eyes and I almost held my breath at how expressive they were.

"Sure. But, I will only do it with my brother tagging along." He said which made me raised a curious eyebrow.

"Why? I mean, you can already sell the brand with your charming and dashing looks. Why do you even need his help?" I couldn't help asking. I sipped on my macchiato as well.

The presence of Cotton alone is too much to take in. How much more if he will be spending half the day with me?

"Me and Cotton are a package. Where I am, he goes. Where he travels, I go along too. So, if I am to take this endorsement, better if you take him too." Lionel simply said. "Besides, it's a win-win situation. Twins in one frame. Isn't that amazing?" He exclaimed mimicking the voice of Kim Chiu from her famous movie. "What do you think, bro?"

I have to give it to Lionel. He has an undoubted sense of humor in him.

Cotton only chuckled in response. He drank a bit of the coffee and forked the tiramisu cake their waitress gave him.

"Mukhang ayaw ni Brittany. Never mind, bro. " he said and I stopped him.

"Fine. Okay. The two of you will be on the TVC in two months time." I said, with no choice, and the twins grinned triumphantly at each other. They even gave each other high-fives.

"Where's the contract? Will sign them now." Lionel said and I sighed.

Luckily, I was able to print four copies, just in case.

I moved the macchiato and they did the same to their coffees and dessert. I handed them the pen and contract and soon, found ourselves sealing the deal with a handshake.

"Looking forward to working with you soon, Brit." Cotton said when his brother bid goodbye to us as he was in a hurry for his meeting.

I only nodded and gave him a polite smile. I tend to be professional at times like this.

"Thank you. Will let you know the shooting schedule of TVC and launching of the brand." I said and stood up too.

I smoothed my pink corporate blazer terno and grabbed my attache case where the contracts and important stuff are.

The guard opened the door for me and I went inside my car.

Yes, for almost two years, I learned how to drive and the company provided me my very own car as the CEO.

I manuevered the car to where I found comfort and sanity.

The comforts of home.

3rd Person's POV

As Brittany drove away from the coffee shop and as Cotton went to his office at the second floor, then came Damon and Alyanna.

The couple seemed to be enjoying their 1st anniversary as Damon chose the private spot at the back of the shop.

It was decorated with fancy pink and red hearts as he spend their special day together.

While someone's love seem to have died with the cheating heart of her lover.
