TWENTY TWO

Mrs. Park Nam Cheol's POV

I was busy browsing the catalogue of one of our mall's stores when I heard some mall-goers gushing cute praises over some random kids.

"Grabe! Ang cute ng kambal no?" A lady remarked while casually searching for some clothes on a particular clothing line.

"Sa true, sissy! Ang pogi pa ng kambal nyang lalaki. Naku! Sigurado, gwapo din ang daddy nila! Ang ganda nung nanay eh!" Her companion agreed. She was scrolling on her phone and showed it to her friend.

"Teka sissy, pansin mo, parang may dark spot sa binti ang kambal?" The lady who first commented said and stopped looking out for clothes.

I saw how her friend frowned and seemed to zoom in on her phone, maybe to check if what she said was right.

"Dark spot? Like balat?" Her friend asked and she nodded.

I discretely observed them as she bent down to her friend's level and sat on the chair beside her.

Together, they took a look at the picture on her phone.

"Hala, besh! Oo nga! Atsaka, tingnan mo oh, parang korteng dahon na faded lang?" Her companion said and her friend also nodded in agreement.

"Trulaloo beshy sissy! Both are on the right ankles, tama?" She asked as if to confirm.

I immediately stood up. I was sitting in front of them and I can tell that they were surprised at my reaction.

Ignoring their looks, I marched towards them and grabbed her phone.

"Hala, lola! Akin po 'yan!" The lady who was in possession of her phone tried to fight back but I was quick to took it from her.

True enough, I saw the leaf-like shaped birthmark on the twins' right ankles.

The picture was captured on a stolen mode.

The girl twin was checking her pink dress on a mirror inside a fitting room while her twin brother was eyeing her beside her.

Their mother's back was turned from my direction and I was taken aback.

I remember these kids! I know I saw them and met them already!

Hastily, I returned the phone back to the woman.

"Pakipasa sa cellphone ko yan. " I ordered her.

She and her friend's mouth hung open.

"Luis! Pakipasa sa cellphone ko ang picture na nasa cellphone nya ngayon din." I instructed one of my bodyguards and he instantly did so.

The lady and her friend obediently cooperated with him.

A saleslady approached us and assisted my needs.

"Paki-asikaso ang magkaibigang yan. Get them the clothes they want and charged them to me." I ordered, still dazed from what I had recently found out.

As soon as I got the picture saved on my phone, I was the one who returned it to them.

"Thank you for the picture. Tell the saleslady whatever you need. It's on the house." I said and looked them in their eyes. "And, it's madame. Not lola."

I left them both surprised yet amazed at my words when the saleslady approached them.

I stormed out of the store with my two bodyguards tailing behind me and my lips turned into a winning smile.

I have to talk to my boys.

I finally have grandchildren!!

I'll have them open up to me the quickest way possible.

I'll give them the best of both worlds!

My heirs!

Back to Olivia's POV

I was more than aware of Mr. Park's ongoing fiasco over an investment deal that occurred recently.

I have nothing more to say to comfort him because both of us are already tired from a series of board meetings we attended.

Being his secretary in a corporate setting is a lot difficult to handle.

I would rather choose to be his secretary back in the resort where I can choose to breathe some fresh air than spend time in the city.

Unfortunately, the past seems to haunt me there. I'd choose to get away from now.

"Hey, Oli. Take some time off. Undertime ka na today. You deserve a break. " Mr. Park said and I let out a sigh.

"P'ano ka? Baka may kailangan ka pang gawin? You need to breathe too." I said.

We were seating on his couch instead of our respective places inside his office.

We were too stressed to care about professionalism today. Apart from that, he became a friend. A trusted and reliable one, in fact.

"Uuwi din ako mamaya-maya. Papahinga ko lang paa ko. Magda-drive pa ako eh. " He said and shooed me away. "Sige na. Pahinga ka na din. Say hi to the kids for me. "

I gave up and nodded. I stood up and went to my table to shut down the computer and get my bag.

"See you bukas, Boss. Ingat sa pagdrive. " I said and waved at him.

As soon as I reached the elevator, I let out an exasperated sigh. When it stopped at 10th floor, I stepped aside and was surprised when I saw the owner of the restaurant, Miss Leni and a friend of hers, who seems gay to me, entered the elevator.

"Uy! Leni?" I asked to confirm.

Leni looked at me and grinned in recognition. She tugged at her friend.
" Olivia! Wow! Small world!" She exclaimed and introduced her friend. "Si Jess aka Jessica nga pala, beshy ko to. Officemate din naten. "

I smiled at him and observed how manly his looks are.

"Uy, sis! Wag umasa! Pareho tayo ng hanap!" Jessica remarked in his surprisingly cheery voice.

I giggled while Leni let out a laugh.
"Nice meeting you, bakla!" I said but was quick to silence.

I saw both of them kept quiet then erupted into fits of laughter.

"Hala! Sorry, sorry! Naoffend 'ata kita!" I apologized while they were still laughing.

"Luh sya! Oks lang yun, bakla! Basta quiet ka lang pag may others ha. Pag tayo, keriboom boom lang. Alam mo na mga madlang pipol ditey, mga mema. " Jessica said and made a face.

I sighed in relief. I nodded and gave them both my genuine smile.

I heard a beep and realized we have reached the ground floor.

We all stepped outside and bid our goodbyes.

"Una na ko, mga bakla. I have errands to do. See you around!" I said immediately.

They nodded and told me to hang out with them some time.
I agreed and we exchanged social media accounts and separated ways.

I think I really have something to look forward to everyday.

Making and meeting newfound friends.
