Chapter 3: Heartbeat

Anak siya ng Chairman?! That only means that he's Justine and Jasper's little brother. Did I forgot to mention that those twin are the Chairman's children? Well If I did, then atleast ngayon alam niyo na.

"Chairman, can I borrow your General manager for a while?" Mr. Strang- I mean the chairman's son said. Pero teka lang bakit parang may kakaiba sa sinabi niya? Did he just said that he'll borrow me?

The chairman looked at his son and shifted his gaze from him to me. Then he nodded after and smiled.

"Sure, I think this is the best way for you to know each other. Mas madali kayong magkakapalagayan ng loob kapag kilala niyo na ang isa't-isa. Am I right, Savannah?" Then the old man gave me a teasing smile na nagpakunot naman sa noo ko. Kung hindi ko lang to boss iisipin ko na binubugaw niya ko sa anak niya eh.

"But Chairman, how about my work?" I protested.

"I already took care of that Savannah. You can go back to work as early as tomorrow. As for now, you have a date with me." Jiro said then he took my hand. Sinubukan kong alisin pero hinigpitan niya ang hawak kaya hindi ko mabawi ang kamay ko sa kanya.

"Chairman-

I tried to reason out again but Jiro dragged me out of the office and the last thing I heard was the Chairman's voice saying 'Enjoy your date!'

What a supportive father right?

Now I'm walking hand in hand with him. His grip already loosen and naturally it's the perfect time to take my hand back but...somehow I feel comfortable with him holding my hand. And I don't wanna pull it out for some reason kaya hinayaan ko na lang din. Though it feels a little awkward since everyone was staring at us- I mean at him especially the girls around here. And those girls? Binibigyan nila ako ng tingin na para bang sinasabi nila na wala akong karapatang hawakan ang kamay ng lalakeng kasama ko ngayon.

"Don't mind them." he said as he stopped and look at me with his smiling face. I just nodded at him.

We continued walking until we reached the parking lot. Doon nakasalubong namin si Justine na nagtatakang nakatingin saming dalawa.

"Nakabalik ka na pala, Jiro." Justine greeted his brother.

"Yeah last week pa actually, kuya." he plainly said.

I'm not sure but I feel that the atmosphere is kind of tensioned around here. Jiro tightening his grip on my hand says so.

"So magkakilala na pala kayo ni Savannah and looking at your hands it seems that your quite close." Justine said as he raised his brow.

Napapikit ng mariin si Jiro matapos magsalita ang kapatid niya. I know, he's not comfortable with talking to Justine. Maybe I should do something.

"Justine can we go now? May pupuntahan pa kasi kami ni Jiro."

"Fine but tell me where you're going first?" Justine asked and I smiled at him.

"It's a date." napansin ko ang pagkunot ng noo niya pati na rin ang pagyukom ng kamao niya. I wonder why?

"Date? Ah sige enjoy." tapos umalis na siya at naiwan kaming dalawa ng kapatid niya.

Jiro is currently driving and I really can't help but to wonder where we'll be going. Kanina pa kasi siya nagdradrive at sa tingin ko medyo malayo na kami sa manila.

"So where are you taking me?" I asked him in curiosity.

"Amusement Park." he plainly said and I chuckled.
