"Ate, you were way out of line. We all thought he did something, OA ka lang pala." Nicole's voice filled her entire room. Maine already covered her ears with her pillow but still, she can her younger sister ranting on how she doesn't have respect for their workers.
"Niknik! If you can't shut up please lumabas ka na lang!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. The last thing she wants right now is to engage in a spar of words with someone who she can't stand being around with.
"Is this still because of Evan? Oh my gosh ... walang ginagawa si Tisoy sa'yo. If you can't be nice with him, at least respect him. Yes, he looks a lot like Evan but still, di yun enough para magalit ka sa kaniya."
Fed up with his sister, Maine took a deep breath and told her to just get out of the room before she completely loses her patience.
"Fine." that's all Nicole said before walking out on her. Maine got up and locked the door before she threw herself on top of the bed.
She knows her sister was right. RJ didn't do anything, it's just that she's really annoyed by his mere existence in their house. And not really because he's poor or anything, but because he looks a lot like the guy who broke her heart.
"Ugh Maine, get your shit together please?" the young girl whispered to herself before falling asleep.

RJ went home later that day half mad, half tired. He was warned by Mrs. Mendoza that Maine wouldn't be friendly at all towards him but he never expected she would be that bad. She almost got him fired, and it's only his first day at work.
"Tisoy, kumusta first day?" his mother quickly asked as soon as he stepped inside their house.
"Pagod po , pero okay naman. Di lang po ako pool boy, may binigay pa pong ibang trabaho pandagdag sweldo na rin po." he replied before sitting on the couch. A few minutes later, Bogs came and so he ran out once again.
"Pre! kumusta pers day?"
"Medyo okay naman." he replied before taking his quite sweaty shirt off, revealing an exquisitely toned body underneath.
"Paano yung mga amo mo? May maganda ba?" Bogs asked with a grin on his face. RJ's heart jumped, he smiled and nodded vehemently.
"Totoo?"
"Oo brad! Yung pinaka-amo ko , hot mama. Tapos may anak siyang dalawang babae, yung isa ... solid na solid, as in maganda. Tapos yung isa naman , maganda din sana kaso nuknukan ng pagka-sungit tsaka medyo matapobre."
Bogs clearly gt excited because of what RJ said. He looked at his friend's face and saw how amused his is while probably imagining what the Mendoza family looks like.
"Hot mama? Yun pala brad, may sugar mommy ka na lang."
"Gagu, di naman ako kagaya mo."
"Ulol mo , may type ka dun sa dalawang anak niya?"
"Meron eh." he replied, smirking.
"Sigurado yung masungit."
"Hindi pare, yung mabait." he replied. He and Nicole only spent a day together but they already clicked. He's pretty sure that they have to be friends first but he can't actually wait for the way when they become more than that. He's smitten by her.
"Ba? Himala ... di ba yang junjun mo sa masusungit tumataas?" Bogs asked.
"Kung sikmuraan kaya kita?"
