''Thank you for your time. Alton was right, you're good at photography'' The handsome man in front of me said.

''Well yeah. Nagulat nga ako ng inalok niya ako kahapon for photography'' I said as I sipped a juice in the glass. I am here, In one of the billionaire's lair. Sa pagkakaalam ko, he's Sixto Axel Velasquez, one of the billionaires and business mindful, kalat ang pangalan niya sa mundo ng negosyo, lahat naman ata ng kasali sa Billionaires Club ay kilala ng lahat. They are unbelievable in terms of business, they all ruthless that you don't want to mess with.

He chuckled. ''Well... Good for me then, nakakita ako ng magaling na Photographer, Thank you for having our family picture'' sabi niya sa akin. I smiled.

I took their Family Picture and I heard the woman is also married to a billionaire na si Lauro Jay Asteriel but yeah, it's none of my business.

''Mamay, she's so beautiful no? Like you, she looks like a model!'' I heard the little chubby girl.

Napatingin ako sa mag inang nakaupo sa sofa. Pagtingin ko palang ay nagtama na ang mga mata namin ng babaeng nag-ngangalang, Gianna. I can't deny the reason why the two billionaires are crazy about her like she's a goddess! No wonder!

I smiled when I saw the jealousy in her eyes. I know her situation just seeing her face. Sana makapili siya ng maayos. 

''Mama, can I be so beautiful as her when I grow up?'' tanong naman ng isang batang may pagka matamlay. I heard from Alton that she's sick and still fighting, that's our girl. Palaban. And I also heard that Abel is one of her doctors. Ang bibo naman!

''Yes, baby. You can be more beautiful than me when you grow up'' singit ko. Napatingin naman sa akin ang mga bata. They both smiled at me and I was like 'aww! such a cutie patotie!'

''Really po? I really like your eyes, it's so beautiful po and your ilong is so tangos po'' sabi ng batang chubby.

I heard Sixto chuckle. ''Sorry for that, they are just too talkative. By the way, that's Issa and Hazel'' sabi niya pa sabay turo sa dalawang bata sa may couch.

We're here in their sala, sobrang laki ng bahay nila at ang ganda. Iba talaga kapag bilyonaryo ka! Katabi ko si Sixto because we're talking and his children and woman are in front of us, also sitting on the couch.

''Then, I like your long hair po, I like your eyebrow, your body po. You look like a model po, are you model po?'' tanong ni Hazel.

I chuckled a little bit, enjoying their praises. ''I'm not, baby, but I take pictures of models in New York and Spain before but I stopped because I need to come here to the Philippines and start my photography here'' I explained carefully, like humming a song.

Her eyes twinkled. ''I want to become a model'' Hazel said like her life is on it. I smirked. This child will be a model someday...

''And I want to become a businesswoman like Papa'' sabi naman ni Issa. Malapad akong ngumiti, ang ganda naman nila, bata palang alam na ang gusto.

''You can do that, basta aral kayo ng mabuti'' sabi ko sa kanila.

Hazel pouted. ''But, I stop going to school because I'm sick'' she said, sadness is visible in her eyes.

''Anak, you can go to school naman after this'' paliwanag ni Gianna sa anak. Then the kid smiled. 

''Okieee po!'' sagot nito.

''I'm good at school po, and also I always get praises from my teachers because I am beautiful and smart daw po'' sabi naman ng chubby na batang babae.

Buong oras na inilaan ko sa mga anak ni Sixto ay sulit pero kailangan ko ng umuwi kaya napauwi ako ng hapon. 

I am driving my car while talking to Alton on the phone. I was listening to Alton with my earpiece.
