As he joked around, the guy closed her mouth. "Guess," he said.

"OK, what's going on. Who is this?" she said, growing irritated.

"You have to guess, or I'm not going to open them," he explained.

"All right, give me a hint," she said.

He said, "Simple, your childhood crush."

"Wait, I had two childhood crushes, and I'm not sure if you're one of them," Alyssa said, pausing to think. "One was Kuya Angelo Cole, and the other was Kuya Andrew Lucas. Hmm, I'm guessing by your warm, soft hands, a deep, mature voice, and you're tall, is it Kuya Angelo?" she inquires.

"You're right! It's me," he exclaimed as he opened her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes and turned to face him, asking, "Kuya Angelo, what are you doing here? I thought you were on a business trip to Japan," as she tightly hugged him.

"I had to see you, when they said they'll cancel early about the trip and I got a call from my boss that there was a major problem with our company here," Angelo joked as he explained.

"Ahh, so that's why," Alyssa explains, "but visitors aren't allowed in during class hours, so how did you get in?"

"I have my ways, and besides, I used to be a student here, so the guards and teachers are familiar with me," he explained.

Clydesdale was watching them from afar, envious and curious, as they were talking and laughing about their childhood memories. While asking, he tapped Jordan on the shoulder.

"Jordan, do you see what I see?" Clydesdale asks, his brows raised and his eyes rolling.

Jordan inquires, "Who are you looking at? Because all I see is a tall, handsome, business man standing next to Alyssa," she adds, describing Angelo.

"Yes, that one. Tsk, he isn't that handsome. I'm more handsome than he is" He said, while complaining.

Jordan teased, nudging Clydesdale's elbow, "Looks like someone jealous."

"I'm not jealous, okay," Clydesdale said, rolling his eyes. "Besides, I have a girlfriend. So, what if Alyssa is with another guy? It's not like I'm the only guy she likes."

"Nagseselos nga," Jordan murmured.

"What did you say?" Clydesdale inquires, his brow furrowed.

Jordan laughed awkwardly and said, "Oh, nothing."

While they were conversing in the corridor, Alyssa and Angelo noticed them and approached.

"Hey, guys," Alyssa said as she linked her arms around Angelo. "I'd like you to meet someone, he's very special to me. Say hello kuya."

"Hello, my name is Angelo Cole, and it's great to meet you," Angelo said.

"Hello po, my name is Jordan San Pedro, and I'm a friend of Alyssa's. It's nice meeting you as well," Jordan says politely as he shakes his hand.
