Tinitigan ko ng maigi ang mga bagong dating sa harap namin and I can say na they are good looking naman. Even that Carlo Ville, he looks handsome.
Lumingon ako kay Zion as I stared at his face then looked back to the two man in front of us. Zion's is way more handsome than this Ville cousins in front of us.
"Pogi naman itong katabi ko kaysa sa mukha niyo," mahinang bulong ko.
I heard Zion cough a little kaya napalingon tuloy ako sa kaniya.
He's staring at me with his dark eyes as he furrowed his brows.
"Bakit?" ani ko.
Umiling ito at binalik ang atensyon nito sa harap namin.
"I didn't expect you to get married so early, Mr. Cartridge," rinig kong sambit ni Carlo.
I roll my eyes kahit hindi niya naman ako nakita and I look back at them. Lalo na doon sa babaeng nakahawak ang braso nito sa braso ni Carlo.
"Psh! This man in front of us is married!? I haven't heard of this Zion Cartridge before!" hambog na sambit ni Jake.
Gusto ko tuloy manapak na tao ngayon. If only I can make a scene right here, right now pero I held back myself kasi gusto ko pag malaman ang pangalan ng babae sa tabi ni Carlo Ville.
"He's famous on the business world, Jake. Don't make trouble," bulong ni Carlo kay Jake na rinig ko naman lalong-lalo na kay Zion, I bet.
"But seriously, Mr. Cartridge, I can't believe you're married," ani Carlo, "You both look.. young."
His voice sounds so sarcastic and there's a deep meaning behind it. Baka alam na nitong ako si Ally Cole. His ex.
"I don't think that's any of your concern," I can feel Zion's hand wrapped around my waist.
Kinakabahan tuloy ako as I feel my heart beats faster. Ano ba itong nararamdaman ko!?
"Is it, Mr. Ville?" dagdag pa ni Zion as he wrapped me tightly.
The woman in Carlo's arms is staring at me kaya tinitigan ko rin ito.
I don't know who she is pero if ever she's Lily then this explains na nagbago na ang istorya or hindi ito nagbago at sadyang hindi pa lamang nagsimula ang plot?
"I'm sorry if my boyfriend and I offended you, Mr. and Mrs. Cartridge," biglang sambit sa babae kaya hinigpitan ko ang hawak ko sa braso ni Zion.
Why does this woman sound sweet and speak as if that's what she says but there's a deep meaning behind her words?
Hindi kami umimik ni Zion kaya napayuko tuloy ang babae sa kahihiyan.
"I forgot to introduce my woman, Mr. and Mrs. Cartridge, I deeply apologize."
Bumuntong huminga ako as I waited for them to speak again. Ano na naman kaya ang plano nila?
"I'm Lily Sanchez, Mr. and Mrs. Cartridge," pakilala nung babae.
Napatango tuloy ako. So this girl in front of us is the female lead of the online story 'My Lily' that I read before I died. Sanchez pala ang apelyido niya. Now I know.
I stare at her from head to toe and I can say na she deserves to be the female lead. She's beautiful, she looks like a college student as her aura looks youthful.
"Carlo naman! Do you know them?" sabat nung Jake Ville.
"I.." I can feel my heart beats fast as Carlo stared at us, preferably at me. "I know, Mr. Cartridge."
Naramdaman ko tuloy na humigpit na naman ang yakap ni Zion sa akin.
"Don't mind my cousin for a while ago, Mr. Cartridge. He's just a newbie in this business industry and still has a lot to learn. I hope he didn't cause you trouble,"
Naramdaman kong nakatingin na sa amin ang mga tao kaya I grip my hands at Zion's arms. Kilala pa naman si Zion Cartridge bilang may matalim na dila.
Don't speak rudely here Zion or you'll receive a backlash from the group of people in this hall. Mga businessman pa naman ang nandito.
"Yeah," iyon lang ang sabi ni Zion.
As I feel his other hand put the wine glass in the table beside us kaya binitawan ko ang kamay ko sa braso nito while his other arm is around my waist.
"I see you've met Mr. Zion Cartridge already, Carlo!" biglang sambit nung bagong dating.
The CEO of Vilacorp.
"Yes, Chairman. I didn't expect we can talk to the great Zion Cartridge here," nakangiting sambit ni Carlo but I can sense his sarcasm on his voice.
The CEO of Vilacorp chuckles, "This man is so hard to invite. I send my invitation letter a month ago and I didn't receive a reply so I thought you won't come."
Tinutukoy nito si Zion kaya huminga ako ng malalim.
A month ago pa siya nagbigay ng invitation letter kay Zion pero kanina pa namin natanggap. What is this old man talking about?
"I seriously can't send a reply to you as we received the letter this morning, Mr. Vilacorp," walang emosyon na sambit ni Zion kaya gusto kong tumawa pero hindi ko magawa.
Carlo, the male lead's face became stiff while the female lead, Lily held her breath.
"I-Is that so..?" I can feel Mr. Vilacorp's voice sounds a little off. He sounds embarrassed.
Hindi kami umimik but I can hear some whispers around the hall.
"Kaya pala hindi dumaan si Mr. Cartridge sa red carpet!"
"I heard he brought his wife here so that woman beside him is probably his wife!"
"What does Mr. Cartridge means? He just received his invitation letter today?"
"Who would do such a thing!?" biglang sambit ni Mr. Vilacorp.
Kinakabahan ito. I can feel it.
Zion's blow a breath at naramdaman ko ito sa tenga ko which gives me a tingling sensation as I feel my cheeks burning hot.
Ano bang ginagawa mo Zion Cartridge? I can feel my heart beats faster again!
"I deeply apologize for this, Mr. Cartridge. My men are so careless I must punish them," dagdag pa ni Mr. Vilacorp.
Ngumisi tuloy ako when Lily and Carlo stared at us again as their faces became stiff. Sila lang naman ang rason, psh. They look so scared.
"I'll help you with that, Mr. Vilacorp," malamig na sambit ni Zion.
Akala ko walang tinatakutan itong male and female lead as per the online story I read but as I see the main characters right in front of me now.. takot naman pala sila.
But I still have a question about how I ended up being here at bakit related si Carlo Ville sa nangyari sa akin?
He seems to recognize me but he didn't say a word about me kaya I hold myself back.
I want to know the motive this male and female lead right in front of me and Zion.
