Capítulo 76: The Early Birdie

The workday is yet to be over, but Miguel is already back, but this time, none of the fake beer belly or any of that clowning around. He's the usual debonair, like the more relaxed casual version of Gabriel Tan. Everyone in the office stares at him when he appears by the door, winking at no one else but Bella Xavier. Many of the office girls, bitter over Miguel's lack of attention to them, whisper among themselves not very flattering things about Bella, which she merely shrugs off: none of this matters to her, anyway. It's all part of the game.

"You're too early," she says.

Miguel only grins. "The early birdie catches the worm."

"So you think I'm a worm?"

Miguel laughs. "Oh, no, no, no! It's just an expression, of course."
