There was a long silence between us. Though hindi siya awkward. Yung presence niya speaks elegance and all, but her actions say otherwise
Not saying that she doesn't act elegance, parang wala lang siyang pakialam sa mga tumitingin sakaniya
"So if you don't mind me asking, what happened to your company?" she started after awhile
I looked at her. She really looks like him "Someone decided to use our company name to use for his daughter's custody" I looked at her "Well at least that's what I know po"
She asked more questions about Maison's custody. Although hindi ako nag drop names, I feel like somehow she already knows. Her eyes are so expressive like Elizabeth, Elmo's sister
Wait.. now, I'm remembering EK. I shook my head. Buti nalang at hindi niya ako pinapansin dahil hawak niya ang cellphone niya
Our foods came, but I couldn't eat. She's eating like she's already comfortable.
I cleared my throat "If you don't mind me asking, t-tita. About the Citadelle meet-up, what were you doing there po?" first the middle name, then Citadelle. Could it be na related siya to Elmo?
She shot me a look and smiled genuinely "I was visiting someone, sweetie"
I smiled at her endearment. "So are you single sweetie?" I felt myself blushed. Crap
I don't know how to answer the question "It's complicated po"
She laughed and she touched my hand "Oh sweetie, you're too cute"
I'm not dumb to not know that she's trying to change the subject "So Arroyo po ba ang last name niyo?"
I felt my brain function today. These past few days I feel like its been sleeping
"No, actually it's my middle name" then she winked at me
"So you're married po tita?" I inquired
She looked at me sincerely "I have a loving husband who is now waiting patiently outside and two loving kids" she then took her wine and gulped it. All at once
I was about to ask her a question when her phone rang
Akala ko she'll excuse herself dahil she motioned herself like asking for my opinion if she could answer her phone
"Hello, baby... I'm currently out right now Kait... With San Jose's CEO..." She looked at me. Then my phone beeped "Yeah she's really pretty, noh?..." she chuckled so I took my phone out. It's bad to eavesdrop, pero does the person on the other line know me?
From Elmo:
Hey you haven't texted. Where are you?
I looked up and she's still talking to Kait. Hearing her praise me is such a shame. I feel her sincerity and only I heard that from my family, friends and my two babies so coming from someone else, nakakaflatter
Nagtipa ako ng mensahe
To Elmo:
Currently out right now with Arroyo Companies CEO. Have you eaten?
From Elmo:
Wait, with Antonette Arroyo? Yes I have. What did she say?
I heard her bid goodbye to Kait so I didn't get to reply to Elmo
"Oh how rude of me. You've been asking about me yet I know nothing about you, sweetie"
"What do you want to know po ba, tita?"
