TLH2: Royal Comeback (Completed) #Wattys2016

TLH2: Chapter 4

WARNING! R18 (Slight)

Erin's POV

"Now that's one heck of a speech, love"

I smiled as Ricky escorted me to go down from the stage. Kahit ako hindi ko ine-expect na magkakaroon ako ng speech na ganu'n. I felt somehow proud to myself. First time ko lang mag-speech sa harap ng maraming tao.

The moment I stepped on the stage, everyone were all eyes on me. Lahat ay nagulat probably they didn't expect that the Great William Ethan Sanders has a twin sister. Hindi ko din sila masisisi. I mean, I just came from nowhere and I just stand up in front of them giving a speech or should I say, accidental speech to those businessmen.

While I was on that stage, pumasok na din sa isip ko na darating ang panahon, everyone will know about me. And that time comes right now. As I stand there with confidence, inihanda ko na din ang sarili ko sa mga susunod pang mga mangyayari.

"Thanks, love." Sabi ko kay Ricky ng makababa ako ng stage.

Ngumiti ito sa akin sabay naman nu'n ang paglapit ng ibang tao sa amin. Here goes nothing.

"Oh, my god, you do really look like him"

Lahat ay napatingin sa nagsalita.

"Erin, this is Camille Fernandez. Camille, this is Erin Sanders."

I smiled at Camille who's eyes are still on mine. I lend my hand at parang du'n lang natauhan ito bago kunin ang kamay ko.

"It's nice meeting you, Camille."

Nahihiyang ngumiti naman ito sa akin. She looks cute. "Likewise, Ms. Erin. I'm very sorry for staring. It's just that you really look like your brother."

I chuckled. "You'll get used to it. And just call me Erin."

Namumulang ngumiti naman sa akin si Camille. As Ricky introduced her, she's the daughter of Pedro Fernandez, the owner of Fern Group of Companies. And if I'm not mistaken, it's one of the leading fuel company in the Philippines. Madami pang pinakilala sa akin si Ricky. And all of them has the same reaction as Camille's. Kulang na nga lang, irecord ko yung sinasabi ko dahil paulit-ulit lang din naman. Nakakapagod din ng paulit-ulit ha.

Out of all the businessmen I've met, pakiramdam ko may isang taong nakatingin sa akin. Kanina pa ako hindi mapakali, Parang bawat galaw ko, tinitignan nito. I looked around the room, all of them are busy talking to each other. I shrugged. Baka guni-guni ko lang yu'n. Nasobrahan siguro ako sa meet and greet.

"Are you okay?"

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita.

"Yeah. Medyo napagod lang."

Napailing ito at ngumiti. "Meet and greet, huh? You're so popular love, I'm starting to get jealous."

Natawa ako dito at pabirong sinuntok sa braso nito. "Whatever, love. But I can't help it. I'm so irresistable!"

He pinched my cheeks. "Conceited much? Ikaw na!"

At sabay kaming natawa.

"You want to grab some fresh air?" Tanong nito.

"Yeah, I think."

Iginaya ako ni Ricky palabas ng function room na pinagdadarausan ng convention. I was surprised to know that may garden pala dito sa gilid. The garden looked like in fairy tales. Nakakamangha ang iba't ibang bulaklak ng tumubo dito. And lights added more attention in the garden. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng maamoy ko ang sariwang hangin sa labas. The cold breeze welcomes my skin with glee. It feels so relaxing.
