Ford. Guazon. Smith. Chua. Lim. Asio. Monteverde, Schroeder, Lee,  And now a Donovan?

The time he started working as a waiter in a restaurant in California, he always saw the same girl with the same bored expression. She doesn't even look happy with her date.

Why date if you can't have fun?

Saktong dumaan siya sa gilid ng mga ito para ihatid ang order sa malapit na mesa ay narinig niya ang usapan ng dalawa.

"My Dad is very proud of me because at a young age I'm already successful. I'm even richer than the Benjamins." The man infront of her said.

"Yeah." She agree, sounds bored.

Napailing na lang siya at bumaling sa kusina. Saktong nag-usap-usap naman ang mga katrabaho niya.

"She's still a minor but already encounter a countless of date."

"I heard she was force by her Dad to do that. Once she reached 18, she'll get married."

His brows furrowed when he heard that. They're obviously talking about that girl. She looks young but he didn't expect she's still a minor.

Muli siyang lumabas at nagmasid. He feel something off with the man she was dating. Parang may masamang balak.

"Which do you want to stay to night? In my hotel, or maybe in my luxurious condo? I actually owned it and if you wanna ask a unit, I could actually give you one." Mayabang na sabi ng lalaki.

Lihim siyang napaingos. Just one unit?   I thought he's richer than the Benjamins? That what's the guy said earlier. I could even give her a one big hotel.

"I wanna stay at my house tonight." She answered.

Good girl.

Nakita niya kung paano hindi nagustuhan ng lalaki ang sagot ng dalaga.

"The rumors is really true. That you're so boring to talk to. Do you even have a sex life? Or you're just frigid?"

Does he knew that she's still a minor? Nangangati ang kamao niyang suntukin ito. She's not really safe around him. He should take a step forward.

"Hey, brat----"

"The bill, Sir." He interrupted.

And little did he knew that little interruption change his life.

"Elias!"

He puffed his breath before facing her. She has a wide smile on her face. The smile that makes his fay complete without him knowing. It just have been few weeks but he already feel incomplete without her.

"Last duty mo na for today?" Tanong sa kanya ng dalaga.

He can't answer her. Not because he's keeping it ad a secret but he's afraid on what will be her next move.

Cyra Chimera is unpredictable. Iba itong mag-isip, hindi niya masundan at hindi niya malaman-laman. That's why she's always mysterious to him. Mysterious in a way that he wanted to find out what's beneath her mask.

"I'm a Bartender in Russo Bar." He answered.

How ironic, Russo build a bar but still working on someone's bar as bartender. Russo is working under a Benjamin's Bar while he, Hakob,  was working under Russo's Bar.

"Okay! Ingat sa work. And thanks for the day, Elias. I enjoyed it." Nakangiting pasasalamat nito.

Unti-unting sumilay ang ngiti niya sa labi.

"I'm glad you enjoy it, Señorita."

He saw her cheeks blushed as she close the door.

Chim has her own way of thinking. Minsan ay mapapatulala na lang ito at magsabi ng kung ano. She even accused him as gay, now she thought that he accept the indecent proposal?
