　　How could everyone adore the flavor of wine? Pouring it in a glass of wine and slowly savoring every bit of it, just to perceive the burning sensation in their throat.

　　I sighed and headed into my office. I massaged my temple as I sat in my swivel chair.

　　In every wine I make, there's always been a missing part. For almost 10 years... I still can't get the right recipe for it. Something is missing, the wine is tasteless.

　　How can I make the wine, sweet? How can I make it, if my life is useless?

　　I opened my computer, but memories come flashing throughout my mind. I suddenly felt the pang in my chest, and I hate it.

　　"I just used you, anyway."

　　I closed my eyes and smacked my hands on the keyboard. How come I let myself fall to that gold digger man? I can’t quite imagine the words ‘I just used you’ forming from his lips.

　　How can he say that and broke my heart so easily?

　　Shit! My brows furrowed and glance at the monitor. My recipes got mess again. I shook my head as I crouched.

　　Every time I looked at myself... I cried a lot because of empathy. I felt sorry for myself, I am weak.

　　I hope, I didn't have the guts to like him from the beginning.

　　I hope, I'm not that fool to fall into his actions.

　　I hope, I don't love him anymore.

　　I was overwhelmed by the word 'like', 'infatuation' rather. But, it comes out to be 'love' as time passes by.

　　"I just used you for money. Yeah! I just took advantage of you to have our money back. After all, you are the one to be blamed for why my family is now suffering, aren't you? Damn this life! Fuck that love!"

　　I was stunned by the fact that I could not remember the words he had uttered. I remember everything he said, and suddenly, my tears fell.

　　Confusing... Too much. I thought I forgot about him because it was over ten years. But destiny is manipulating us.

　　My secretary knocked on my door. "Ms. Meradeltas, everyone is ready for the conference. You need to be there, now. Your aunt ordered me to call you because you're two minutes late."

　　And this is why the memories are coming back.

　　Because... He is back. The emotions that I buried a long time ago, come rushing back into my senses. And I hate it, very much.

　　"By the way, is Engineer Planze already there?" I asked as we walked.

　　"Yes, he is present in the meeting."

　　I sighed. Seeing him again will make my headache for a moment. But, I realize that all of the events we had encountered will be remain in our past lives.

　　Now is the present, we must act like strangers.

　　But! What the hell did I do to make him come back to this place? And for Pete's sake! He becomes one of my employees, an engineer. I can't imagine this.

　　I hate to acknowledge, but I'm quite excited to see him.

　　To see the man who left me dumbfounded. And the one who makes me realize that I was a horrible person.

　　My secretary opened the door of the conference room. I cough and shrugged all the emotions I am feeling now.

　　I am Lushiane Meradeltas, I must be confident. I am the owner of the largest winery here in France, and no one can make me feel undeserving.

　　No one.
