Sitter

19

It was 2 weeks after the banquet and everything went back to normal.

Well, almost everything.

"Please?"

Dara lifted her head up to stare at the man in front of her. Hindi niya alam kung paano nalaman ng lalake kung saan siya nagtatrabaho but she was still irked by the fact that a person from her past was in front of her face, begging.

"Seungri. I said no. Ba't ba ang kulit mo?"  She sighed and closed the document she was reading.

"Dara naman. Please? Isang beses lang. Just have dinner with us once. I promise, it'd be with just me, Chae, and the others walang anino ni Jiyong ang makikita."

Seungri - after the banquet, noticed that his fiancee was acting quite gloomy. Pati din sina TOP at Youngbae - na nakikipagkita na sa kanila once in a while, had always looked sad whenever they met up.

Kung titingnan talagang mabuti, one would think that Seungri was the Doctor and the three people with him were his depressed patients.

"I'm busy." Tanging sagot ni Dara sabay buklat ng isa pang folder.

"Ba't ka pa ba nagtatrabaho? You're rich!"

"Being rich doesn't mean I don't have to work. Besides, I enjoy my job."

"Dar, sige naman na oh. Just once."

Dara sighed as she looked at Seungri. Noon pa man, the man has always been persistent.

Alam naman niya na he was doing it for CL and she would do anything for the woman but she really couldn't do it.

Kung magkikita silang lahat, word would eventually reach Jiyong's ears and it would be a disaster for her, lalo na't hindi pa siya totally nakaka get over sa lalake.

"I really am busy Seungri. I would love to have dinner with you pero busy lang talaga ako. You chose the worst time ever."

With that said, Dara's secretary knocked on the door and seeing her, Dara pressed the button on her table to let her in.

"Ma'am. Eto na po yung files na ni request ninyo and Mr. Yoo had already approved your leave."

Dara sighed and looked at the woman helplessly.

Sa lahat ba naman ng oras na sasabihin niyang na approve na ang leave nito, talagang ginawa niya while Seungri was there?

She then made a mental note to brief the young woman again as she was still new to the job and was just a temporary substitute for her actual secretary who was on a maternal leave.

"Oh? Nag leave ka naman pala eh! Dar, it's just one night. Sige naman na oh."

He was prepared to give up pero buti nalang talaga at nakapagsalita agad ang secretary ni Dara.

He would've went back to CL with slumped shoulders if not.

"I always file for leave just weeks after my birthday." Dara said with a helpless sigh as she dismissed her secretary.

"That's great!"

"But it's because of my family. Nakaschedule na iyon since and I will be on leave for a month. See? I really am busy Ri, sorry talaga. Maybe next time."

Seungri sighed.

"It can't be helped then."

Knowing Dara's status, he knew her schedule would be packed and it would be something inevitable so he gave up.

"But at least leave me your number. Mayaman ako pero hindi ako kasing yaman mo Dar. Flying from one City to another still costs me money you know."
