I felt a familiar white Audi stopped in front if me. Ngunit natinag lang ako sa aking kinatatayuan nang makita ang bulto ni Spencer na lumabas galing doon.

Katrice went back inside the company after handing me their wedding invitation, and saying that she's expecting me on the day where the two of them will marry each other.

While I was still here, rooted at the same place when Katrice left me, holding their elegant invitation.

Kung hindi pa dumating si Spencer ay hindi pa ako matatauhan.

"Rylli!" He stopped in front on me. His keen eyes were on me, scanning my expression. Ilang sandali ay kumunot ang kanyang noo. "What happened?" He asked but my eyes were fixed at the side of his lips.

Bahagya akong lumapit upang makita iyong mabuti. "What happened?" My lips pursed, pointing the side of his lips when I saw its a bruise.

Parang hindi ko iyon napansin kanina? Or maybe I'm too preoccupied earlier.

"Wala. Ikaw ang tinatanong ko."

I shrugged my shoulders off. I placed my purse in between the side part of my torso and my arm as I held the paperbag and the invitation in one hand.

"Nothing," sagot ko bago binuksan ang pinto ng passenger's seat ng kotse niya ngunit agad na napigilan ito ng kanyang kamay, dahilan para muling sumara iyon.

Hinanap ko ang kanyang mga mata. His eyes were fixed on my hand who's holding the invitation and the paperbag.

He quickly snatched the envelope I'm holding. Wala na akong nagawa nang makuha niya iyon. I glared at him but he ignored it. He opened the envelope in his not very careful way.

My brow raised at how he hastily grabbed the invitation out of the envelope.

Hindi ko pa nabubuksan ang invitation na galing kay Katrice kaya't hindi ko pa nakita iyon. Ngunit hindi na ako nag-abalang silipin pa, ngayon na nasa kamay iyon ni Spencer. Besides, I already know what's inside.

Spence's eyes went back on me before turning to the invitation again. Bahagyang kumunot ang kanyang noo at hindi makuha kung ano ang pinanggalingan ng tila wala sa sariling reaksyon ko.

I watched him returned the invitation inside the elegant envelope before looking up at me. "Wanna talk inside?" He asked as he handed it back.

Hindi na ako sumagot at basta na lamang binuksan ang pinto ng kanyang kotse sa tapat ng passenger seat. Inalalayan niya ang pinto hanggang sa makapasok ako at saka iyon isinara nang makitang maayos na akong nakaupo.

I slid the invitation in my purse as I let the paperbag rest in my lap.

Naramdaman ko ang pagpasok ni Spencer ngunit hindi na ako nag-abalang lingunin pa siya. He started the engine of his car but didn't drive it. I felt him glanced at me. Kaya naman napabaling ako sa direksyon niya.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked. Ngayon ay wala ang mapaglarong ngisi sa kanyang mga labi.

"Have you eaten lunch already?"

His jaw clenched. Siguro ay sinagot ko ng tanong ang tanong niya. "No. Have you?"

"No. I have a lunch here, sa office na lang tayo. Let's share?"

Unti-unting nawala ang kunot ng kanyang noo bago bumaba iyon sa paperbag na nakapatong sa aking kandungan. Agad na napalitan ang kanyang mga ekspresyon. Amusement is evident in his eyes. Matapos ay isang sarkastikong ngisi ang ipinakita niya.
