MARK WINSTON'S POV
Here I stand outside Dad's office AGAIN. Because he wanted to discuss something with me.
"Dad???" I asked while knocking.
"Come in" I heard Dad's voice for the inside.
"Dad, bakit po??" I asked.
"Well, Mr. Cortez contacted me this morning about his daughter's decision about the arrangement" Dad said.
"And??" I asked patiently
"She accepted the offer" Dad said smiling.
"Really???" I asked surprisedly.
"Yes, and I think that we should invite her over dinner next weekend for formalities and introduction. That's why I told Mr. Cortez to tell his daughter that you will be fetching her in her condominium by Saturday night next week...... And also, you two can plan your engagement party already" Dad said teasingly.
"Dad don't you think we're rushing too much. I have to meet her in person first...you know... just the two of us like... on a date. Before I invite her over to meet you guys" I said seriously.
" Of course son, Sorry I got excited" Dad said laughing.
"It's okay Dad, I understand, it's not everyday that your son thinks on dating someone" I shrugged.
*MONDAY*
KIMMY'S POV
(G.A.U.)
Autumn and I are seated at our table here in the cafeteria.
"So, anong napagdesisyonan mo?" She asked.
"I accepted it" I said simply.
"At least, nakatulong ka sa parents mo para sa company niyo" She said positively.
"I'm just worried what would happen if we meet in person. Sabi ni Dad I should meet him tonight for a fancy dinner " I said nervously.
"Give it a shot. Di natin alam, baka you are destined for each other" she said smiling.
"Autumn, destiny are only for hopeless romantic kind of person. And I'm not one of those kinds" I said seriously.
" I know that, but it is you who accepted that arrangement, therefore you should give it a try" She said seriously.
"Okay fine, but you will help me look for a nice dress, not that I want to impress him, I just want to look presentable" I said.
"Sure" she responded.
TIME SKIP
Classes are done for the day. Autumn and I are here in my room and choosing or I rather say debating on what I should wear.
"Don't you think that's too fancy??"
I asked her while pointing at the dress she's holding out for me.
"No, would you rather be dressed in pants and crop top for this 'fancy dinner'??" She countered.
"Well no, but-" I tried to reason but she cutted me off.
"Just put on the dress already" she commanded.
I just heave a deep sigh.
"Okay" I complied.
I take the dress from her and went to the bathroom. I put it on and look myself at the mirror.
Okay, I admit that I really look nice in this dress
