Chapter 45
“Really?” Thea shouted, exasperated.
“I did not!” Grayson denied.
His ears and face were red while looking at his plate. He looks embarrassed by what his friends unveiled.
“Cute.” I muttered.
I thought I was the only one who heard what I muttered but it turns out, they all heard it including Thea as they look at me, shock.
“I thought you weren’t interested with the C.E.O, huh? Why are you saying he’s cute?” Thea smirked.
I blushed and stepped my friends feet under the table to make her stop from uttering words that could embarrass me.
“Cute, huh! You told me you’re not interested with man!” She continued.
“Oh! She’s the same as Grayson! He told me he’s not interested with watching beauty pageants but he attended it several times in the Phili— what the fuck?! It hurts, Grumpson!” Jason complained.
He attended?
“Shut the fuck up.” Grayson whispered but I heard him.
“What did Grayson shouted while watching the Miss Universe pageant?” Haley asked, teasing.
“Go Philippines! Go Philippines! Wohh! Philippines will win! Go my baby! Go my baby! Go Philippines!” Lia and Jason shouted in chorus as if cheerleading and laughed.
What the— he did that?!
“Liar!” Grayson whispered although he was as red as the apple.
“So you like, Ms. Philippines?” Thea asked.
“I just like the country.” He shrugged.
“Just the country? Oh, really.” Lia said, teasing.
I don’t know why Lia’s suddenly teasing him with me since I can still remember the last time we met were she shouted at me.
“Nothing more. Just the country.” He confirmed and ate the food on the plate.
Rhiana beside him whispered something so he leaned in to listen to it.
“Are you both a couple? I’m really curious since the last time you appeared to us was you were with her in the airport.” Haley can’t help but to ask Grayson.
“Soon.” Rhiana answered and smiled at her.
Haley nodded and looked at me so I avoided her eyes.
“How about the two of you?” She was referring to me and Justine.
“Soon.” Justine answered.
I stepped at Justine’s feet under the table but he ignored it and put a food on my plate.
“How sweet! You, girl. Now that you’re the Miss Universe, answer the man! He’s always been with you you know.” Thea supported.
“He’s courting her?” Haley asked.
“It's obvious. He liked her! She’s just numb!”
What the—?!
I looked at Thea with disbelief but she just flipped her hair.
Looking down to my plate, there’s already my favorite soup, sinigang, served by Justine. I looked at Justine but he smiled and shrugged.
I wish he didn’t. I’d feel bad for using him if he did really like me.
