"Goodmorning!" I saw lola and mama eating breakfast together. They both looked at me with confussion

"Why are you looking me like that?"

"You're early. Are you all right?" Mama asked.

"Of course I am"

"And what's on the corporate attire honey?" Lola took a bite of her bread and glanced at me from head to foot.

"Ahm yeah, I'm going to work"

"Work??" They both responsed.

"Yeah, daddy offered me again the project and I grabbed it. "

"But how about your contract with Mr. Jimenez?"

"Kinausap ko na si Tristan ma siya na bahala kay tito. Isa pa, gusto kong makatulong kay daddy"

"Totoo ba yan anak? Baka manggulo ka lang doon. O baka naman may sakit ka hindi mo lang sinasabi sa amin. May pinagdadaanan ka ba.? Tara paggamot kita?" Lola and her laughed as loud as they can to piss me off.

"Ha-ha funny!? God ma.. Hindi ko alam na ganyan ang tingin nyo sakin. I'm trying my best to be a good girl here. I'm making you proud but this is all I can get to you. Thankyou, really appreciate it " I rolled my eyes and pouted my lips

"Yeah, we know...we're sorry.. it just that.. you look good. You look different"

"Well, thanks though. By the way ma, dad told me you had a date last night? Is that true?" This time ako naman ang mang-aasar. I Saw lola glared at her

"Ahm, you know what, you should go. You're gonna be late. First day of work should be great" She glared at me. Lola and I wiggled as she pushed me to door.

"Haha. Okay, see you later beautiful old ladies. haha"

"We're not old""

"Yeah , yeah whatever you say" I kissed them goodbye and drove off.

"Hi ma'am Valerie" Everyone's greeting me and it so nice to be back. I throw them the most nicest smile I can give. Sayang naman kasi ang mala dalagang bukid kong pusod at skirt na aabot sa tuhod kung magdedemonyita ako. I want to look presentable. Gusto kong maging mabait ako sa paningin nilang lahat though mabait naman talaga ako.

"Honey... I'm glad you're here" Dad's welcomed me with warm embraced and I smiled like a virgin 16 years old and I want to laugh. Working here like this would be hard.

"Tamang tama ang dating mo. Liam just arrived. Let's go to my office" I nodded. Geez! I'm starting to shake. After six years magkakausap ulit kami and I don't know what to say. Ayokong mag break down sa harap nilang lahat kaya magpapakatatag ako.

Dad opened the door and we slipped together. Nakatingin lamang ako sa mga paa ko nang makapasok kami sa office niya. I need to calm myself. I need to think of how I should treat him. I need to look like nothing happened between us. I'm starting to convince myself when suddenly someone bumped to me and we both fell to the ground. I felt the pain in my ass and a head in my boobs. He looked up at me and smiled widely.

"Hi, I'm Mathew" He said still on top of me. I just stared at him. He's so handsome and familiar but I can't figured out where did I saw this kid.
