Mission: Protect Him At All Cost

chapter dyes (10)

"Are you Sandro Marcos?" I asked, he was wearing sunglasses too. Ayoko kong mapahiya ulit, dapat siya na talaga to.

"Yeah it's me, please come join me in my table." Oh thank god, siya na talaga.

I followed him from behind and he motioned me to sit. Now were facing each other.

I take off my mask, while he takes his sunglasses and mask too.

I was stunned.

He looked more handsome than the pictures I've seen.

"Hi again, let me introduce myself formally. Ferdinand Alexander Araneta Marcos is my name, but please call me Sandro." He extend his hand.

"Emmalyn Colin Roberts sir, at your service."

"Nako, Sandro nalang kasi." He let out a small laugh.

"I'm sorry but I must be in formal when I talk to you. You're my client." I explained, okay naman kung Sandro lang but me personally, I address my clients as Maam/Sir. I am more okay with that.

"If you're comfortable with that, then okay. I won't stop you." He smiled, I smiled too. Ano ba wala akong masabi e, ngumiti nalang tayo.

"So, I've already ordered the food ahead is that okay with you?"

"Yes sir okay lang, I eat anything naman po di naman ako maarte." I said.

"So you really can't call me Sandro talaga? Naiilang talaga ako e, di ako sanay." He asked me one more time.

"Mas bet ko po yung Ferdinand." I jokingly said and laughed, good thing at sumabay naman ito, kala ko sobrang seryoso nito e. Nice, di yung basag trip diba?

"Eh that's my grandfather's name e."

"Okay sige, sir nalang ulit." We let out a laugh one more time.

"Anyways, I am supposed to meet you at our house. My father reminded me last night. Kaya lang nagkaroon ng urgent meeting sa office namin, it was really important. I tried to go home yet nadagdagan na naman ako ng schedule. So I apologize Ms. Roberts for meeting you here."

"No need to say sorry sir, that is truly understandable. The important is, we finally met." I said and plastered a smile on my face, while he does too.

We stared each other for seconds, I don't know why. Pero agad naman kaming natigilan when the waiter finally came.

"Here's your food, enjoy." Sabi nito and Sandro said thank you.

"Kain na, let's talk about work when were finish eating." Sabi pa nito at inabutan ako ng kutsara't tinidor.

I smiled, parehas pala silang mga gentlemen noh? Naalala ko lang si Simon kanina.

We started to talk, while we were eating. I thought I'd be intimidated by him but I was wrong. He seem natural and easy to talk to.

We had a normal conversation, like casual friends talking. I talk about myself, while he shares some of his too.

Yung tanong ko kanina kay Simon? I finally got the answer and coming from Sandro na talaga. He told me his hobbies, his experiences as a student from London. I'm glad I got to know him better.

As we were talking I can't help but notice the guy sitting behind him. Kanina pa itong patingin-tingin sa amin. From time to time he'll look at our area pero pag nakatingin ako sa kaniya, babalik na naman ito sa pagseselpon.

"Emma is something wrong?" Napukaw ang attention ko nang tinawag niya ako.

"Ha? no no nothing's wrong. Please continue." I lied, ayoko naman takotin siya diba? good thing nabenta naman sa kaniya yung pagsisinungaling ko, he continued talking naman.
