" totoo ba siya? Ba't ang perpekto niya.. " a girl beside me like she's having delulu over him.

He test the mic and smile professionally "Thank you for the warm welcome! It's an honor to be here with all of you today." ang kaninang bubuyog ay napalitan ng tilian. He's intimidating but approachable.

He chuckled still compliment his astonishing aura, he began, his voice smooth and commanding, instantly capturing the attention of the audience. " to share my insights and experiences from my own career journey in the financial industry."

Well hindi mo naman talaga maitatanggi na gwapo siya with  his angelic features and masculine appeal made him a study in contrasts, and it was this duality that made him all the more intriguing. He was a man who embodied both strength and vulnerability, and it was this combination that made him so captivating.

"Indeed, I am," he replied smoothly, his voice holding a detached tone that hinted at a layer of frostiness. "Being single has its advantages, as it allows me to focus on my priorities and pursuits without any distractions." the crowd awww.

Single? hindi ako naniniwala, ang pinsan ko pa ang niloko niya. He flashed a brief smile , almost imperceptible smile, but it held no warmth..

"I find solace in my work and my passions," he continued, his gaze never wavering. "Love is not a priority for me at the moment."His words were precise, measured, and devoid of any emotion. He made it clear that his personal life was not up for discussion. His eyes met mine, parang may pinapahiwatig na hindi ko maintindihan.

Single pa la ha.. Wait kailan pa?

THIRD PERSON POV.

"Thank you, Mr. Aiden Jax Coley , for sharing your valuable insights with us. We greatly appreciate your time and expertise." campsite coordinator said.

Despite the resounding applause, he felt a pang of emptiness. He was used to being in the spotlight, but he also knew that his success and expertise came at the cost of personal sacrifices, including his long-standing solitude. As he made his way out of the room, he reminded himself of his priorities and focused on the next task at hand, keeping his emotions tightly in check.

"Welcome everyone! After the inspiring presentation by our guest speaker, it's time for a networking session to connect with each other and our esteemed speaker. We'll be doing a speed networking activity to make the most of our time. Are you all ready?" our facilitator said with loud annoyance.

Participants nod and express their readiness. "Great! Here's how it will work. You'll have a set amount of time to engage in a conversation with your partner. Introduce yourself, share your background, interests, and goals related to business administration, and ask questions to get to know each other. When the time is up, I'll ring the bell or sound the timer, and you'll move on to the next partner. Ready to give it a try?" napatingin ako sa tabi ko a girl with pretty long shiny hair.

Before nag start is inarrage ang seats namin into circle. Nandito ako sa likod kaya hindi ko makita kung sino ang huli Kong ma ka knowing each other even the coordinator ang guest speaker ay pinasali except sa Mc.

I'm confident na hindi ko makakausap si  aiden baka matunaw lang ako tingin Niya.

Participants express their agreement and readiness."Wonderful! Let's begin!" hindi ko Alam bakit kinakabahan ako. I breath in, breath out.

The facilitator rings the bell or sounds the timer to start the first round of speed networking. Participants engage in conversations with their partners, introducing themselves, sharing information, and getting to know each other. After the set time limit, the facilitator rings the bell or sounds the timer to indicate that it's time to switch partners. The activity continues for several rounds, with participants rotating to different partners.
