Xandro, The Tamed Gambler (DeGuia #3)

CHAPTER EIGHT

CHAPTER EIGHT

XANDRO'S POV:

Hindi pa ako naka bawi sa pagkapahiya sa final draft presentation nila Rachel, kasama ang buong team niya para makilala namin and syempre hindi pinalampas nila Kuya Xander and Xandrei na pumunta.

Obvious naman kung bakit sila pumunta though we already agreed sa meeting namin. They just want to snoop around and tease me, and it did happen.

Bakit ba kasi I lost my focus, not just in front of my brothers but also in front of Rachel and her team!?

But what can I do?

She is really pretty!

I feel like I'm hypnotized, bewitched, enamored, hooked, captivated, and smitten by the simplicity of her beauty!

I mean maganda naman siya the first time we met, but iba talaga ang aura niya kahapon. She's oozing with happiness and nakikita yun sa mata niya, maybe that's why I'm mesmerized, under a spell that makes me in a dreamy state unaware of where we are.

Throughout the presentation, I can sense, see and feel the discomfort of Rachel. Dati pag nagpepresent siya she kept on looking at me to see my reaction kahit wala naman siyang nakukuha, but now, hindi siya makatingin.

When I look at her, she looked away.

Remember Xandro, that guy Jules!

Yes, I know his name before the presentation ipinakilala ni Rachel ang kanyang team. But theres something offbeat to that guy, I just can't point out kung ano.

Pero ang alam kong sure ako is siya yung lalaking biglang nagpa init ng ulo ko.

The one comforting Rachel ... intimately!

The bolt from the blue of jealousy hits me. I wish I was the one comforting her, I wish I was the one beside her but theres nothing to wish for because she's already taken, and the fact that I'm the reason why she is angry.

But little thing she don't know is she's the reason why I'm distracted.

I wonder if I really like her, or I just like her because I'm a sucker of simple beauty.

Yes, madami ako nakakadate at mga nakikilala na mga magaganda talaga, but wala sa kanilang lahat o kahit isa sa kanila ang nagustuhan ko. Yes, maganda but not to the point that I feel that I her, na magiging curious ako sa kanya.

At some point, it did happen. But that was a long time ago. And I wish hindi nangyari yun ...

I groaned nang bigalng tumunog ang alarm ko.

It's already four thirty in the morning; kailangan ko nang magprepare dahil ang departure from Rachels' office is six am.

At the meeting they decided to look for the perfect spot location and shoot some frames for the ad ngayon.

"As in tomorrow? Why?"tanong ni kuya Xander.

"For us, we shouldn't waste time, if we can do it tomorrow, then why not?"sagot ni Rachel.

"Hindi naman kami nagmamadali. You can all have the time and besides we want na maganda ang ad." wika ko.

"We know Mr. De Guia, but to us time is precious and with all properties of DGGC, its better to start early. We have to showcase it all. Hindi lang na basta may ipakita lang or ipagyabang. It is about how you grow as a solid company through the years."Sagot ni Liam ang mainstay director nila.

I know him because of his works na pinag-uusapan and his talent in filming is superb. We tried to convince him to direct one of our shows and offer him a much higher salary than any other directors but he simply declined.
