August Gazanto | BBS #1

CHAPTER TWO

LATE

***

Nakatingin lang ng diretso si Seraphira sa bakanteng lote na pagtatayuan ng hotel. Pilit naman siyang ngumiti sa mga kasama sabay tingin sa blueprint. Kanina niya pa napapansin ang titig ng head engineer na si August. Kung kilala niya lang ang may ari ng Gazanto ay kanina niya pa ito inireklamo.

Sa kadahilanang wala siyang pake kung sino ang mga famous na nilalang sa industriya nila ay mas lalo siyang nawalan ng interes nang marinig na lalaki ito. Papanig ito sa head engineer nito na ka uri niya kaya kahit na anong reklamo na ipataw ni Serpahira dito.

"Ah, August how long do you think this will take?" Eros Villasero asked, the owner of the hotel they're going to build.

"Hmm? About two years or three." Ani August sabay tabi kay Seraphira.

Eros eyes landed on them before smiling. "Your blueprint sure is wonderful, Architect." Puri ni Eros sabay ngiti, iyong mabait na ngiti.

Serpahira forced a smile. She's been sorrounded by men so it's natural for her to have this urge to hit them so that they will know personal space!

"Thank you," Seraphira can only uttered those words and walked even faster than those women thirst men.

They are having a groundbreaking so they are many people in the land that the hotel will be in. Eros Villasero came with them, of course he is the owner he had to be in the ground breaking at least but Eros Villasero is known for not being in every event of his business due to his busy schedule not just in the Philippines but also in abroad. Maybe he's here to supervise Seraphira that made her swallow her own saliva.

Serpahira knew about this since the day she recieved an email about the project. She visited the land of course in order to design the hotel well but it still feel surreal because she didn't expect for Eros to praise her work.

"This is a good land for the hotel," komento niya sabay tingin sa kalsada. Malapit sa kalsada at sa main road ng Tagaytay so it's a good spot to build a business.

"Yes, I have my connections you know." Ani Eros sabay ngiti. Seraphira smiled to him and continued on walking.

'Di ba sumasakit ang panga niya sa kakangiti?' Serpahira thought but she diregarded that and focused on her job.

"GOODBYE," paalam ni Serpahira sa mga katrabaho bago naglakad papunta sa sasakyan niya. Natapos na ang ground breaking nang wala siyang masyadong ginagawa except sa pagpapaicture kasama sina Eros at August at iilang mga tao and what she meant by tao is men.

She click her keys to make her car sound. Agad naman siyang naglakad doon at bubuksan sana ang pintuan nang may mapansin siyang pigura na nasa likuran niya, nakatingin sakanya.

She took a deep breath and readied herself. She may not look like it but she's a black belt taekwando so that she can protect herself against men who had this bad thoughts and wanted to harmed her.

When she turn around she saw the head engineer, August leaning on his car while his arms are crossed and he's staring at her.

"Hey, Architect." He greeted and smile.

Serpahira took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Hey, Engineer." She greeted back and was about to open the door of her car but he stop her.

"I would like to invite you for a dinner. We often held parties whenever we had a new project." Ani ni August sabay tayo ng matuwid.
