CHAPTER 3

SELENE'S POV

"

SELENE, UNA NA KAMI." Paalam nina Vino at Gigi pagkatapos naming maglinis at mag-ayos ng café.

Nakangiti ko silang tinanguan. "Ingat kayo."

Naiwan akong mag-isa sa loob ng staff room. Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay lumabas na ako mula roon at tinungo ang gawi ng kaibigan ko na mahimbing ng natutulog. Napagod yata sa maghapong pagkakaupo habang hinihintay ang pagdating ng may-ari ng cafe na hindi naman dumating.

Hinawakan ko si Nadia sa balikat at maingat na niyugyog iyon para gisingin siya. "Nads. Gising na, uuwi na tayo."

She groaned and got up from bed, her eyes half-open. "What time is it now?" she asked, sounding still sleepy.

I checked my phone before answering, "It's eight twenty-five."

She stretched her body and complained, "My back hurts. Has your boss arrived yet?"

I shook my head in response.

She sighed and stand up. "Sumakit lang pala ang likod ko kakahintay sa wala." Maktol niya.

"Ang tigas ng ulo mo e. Sinabing ako na ang bahalang kumausap sa Boss ko."

Inginusuan niya lang ako.

Tahimik kaming lumabas ng cafe at nagtungo palapit sa sasakyan ko. Pagkasakay naming dalawa ay agad kong pinaandar ang sasakyan at minaneho paalis. Tahimik lang kami pareho habang nasa biyahe. Siya na abala sa kung ano mang kinakalikot niya sa cellphone at ako na naka focus sa pagmamaneho.

I opened the window beside me to breathe in the cold, fresh air of the night. I took a deep breath and exhaled smoothly. The night air was truly refreshing, especially when there weren't many cars on the road.

My gaze was drawn to a large billboard, and I stopped in my tracks when I recognized who was on it. It was the most well-known bachelor billionaire, Czairex Deandre Vergara. It looked like he had built another new hotel and resort, which was now leading as the most popular tourist destination amongst travelers.

I couldn't help but stare at his face. It had been more than two months since he and I did that thing, and I had to admit that he never left my mind during those two months. He always popped up in my thoughts, and I felt like I was going crazy because of it. I had a crush on him in high school. He was dangerously handsome, and lots of students liked him. Besides his good looks and wealth, he was also incredibly intelligent and a gentleman. Any girl would want to be his girlfriend.

Back then, he was the most influential and richest student in our school because his father was a multi-millionaire.

At ngayong siya na ang pumalit sa pwesto ng ama niya ay lalo pang sumikat ang kompanya nila. Naririnig ko rin madalas sa mga customers sa cafe na maraming kompanya ang gustong makisusyo sa kanya dahil sa talino at galing siya sa pagdiskarte.

Ang balita ko pa ay simula nang siya ang pumalit sa ama niya ay nagsimulang kumalat ang branches nila sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo dahilan para lalong maging maimpluwensya siya.

I wish I can be like him someday. As a successful woman.

"Ang gwapo niya 'no?" Naibaling kay Nadia ang atensyon ko nang bigla siyang magsalita.

"Huh?"

Inginuso niya yung billboard kung saan si Czairex ang nakalagay doon. Sandali kong sinilip ang traffic light kung naka-red na ba. Nang hindi pa ay nilingon ko ulit si Nadia.
