Never in Kelsey Alena Sanchez's dream did she ever imagine herself being forced into an arranged marriage. Who would've thought that Benjamin Antonio Donovan―a man she has a cat and dog relationship with―will now be her soon-to-be husband?

Plan
Three years came like a blur. On my twenty-fourth birthday, I received the most beautiful compliment I've ever heard in my entire life.
"I'm seeing how significant you are in this company, Kelsey. The projects are non-stop and other companies are very much amazed with our designs. Pati sila ay nagbibigay na ng kanilang shares dito sa kompanya," ani Mr. Tan. Tumango ang ibang board members upang sumangayon sa sinabi niya.
I smiled and bit my lower lip. I never thought I will receive a compliment like this on my birthday! I feel like this is the best birthday ever! Hindi napunta sa wala ang lahat ng pinaghirapan at pinagpaguran ko!
Ever since I entered our company, iisa lang ang nais kong makamit. That is to get our board members' trust. Dahil noong una ay nangangamba pa sila kung magiging maayos pa ba ang kompanya kung sakaling hindi na si Daddy ang mamamahala. Tapos ngayon makakatanggap ako ng papuring ganito!
This only means one thing... panatag sila na kahit hindi na si Daddy ang nagpapatakbo nito, magiging maayos parin ang lahat. They are now seeing my worth in this company.
"Your designs are amazing! Even the people behind you are working really hard!" dagdag naman ni Mr. Cordova.
I smiled again. "Of course, everyone on the design team are extremely talented. It's really hard to choose the right design lalo na't lahat ng pinapasa nila ay karapatdapat. That's why I really have to double check it or make a design myself na pasok rin sa mga preferences niyo po."
Napangiti silang lahat sa akin. Kahit si Mommy at Daddy ay kitang kita rin ang pagkatuwa para sa akin. I gave a thumbs up to Wilbert and Kate, isa sa mga miyembro ng design team. Magagaling sila at mapapagkatiwalaan. Ngumiti silang dalawa pabalik sa akin.
"Sabi ko sa'yo, Ma'am, e!" Kate mouthed at me at tsaka ako tinuro. I chuckled lightly.
Kahapon pa kasi ako kinakabahan para sa meeting na 'to. Paano ba naman kasi, this is the time the company is going to deliberate. Paano kung mapagtanto nilang wala naman akong magandang naidulot sa kompanya?
Paano kung isipin nila na isa lang akong palamuti dito? Na nandidito lang ako dahil anak ako ng may ari ng kompanyang 'to? Ayoko naman ng ganon. I want them to see me as someone whose worth of their trust. Dahil hindi rin magtatagal ay ako na ang mamamahala nito.
Kaya ngayong naririnig ko na ganito ang sinasabi nila tungkol sa akin ay sobrang natutuwa talaga ako!
"That's great, Kelsey. Mas lalo tuloy akong napanatag na magiging maganda ang kalalabasan ng bagong proyekto!" ngumiti sa akin si Mrs. Dimagiba. "And mind you, this is another high end project. And note that, Kelsey is very good with that."
I swear I couldn't stop smiling. Hindi ko akalain na ganito ang matatanggap kong papuri sa kaarawan ko!
I laughed a little. "Oh! Thank you, Mrs. Dimagiba! I'm really excited with this project and I'm also planning to go to Barcelona to get some inspirations for my design."
