Still Into You

Chapter 2

"Goodness Sei!" Gail exclaimed with matching pagtayo pa. Shocked was written all over her face nang makwento ko yung nangyari kanina.

"What I am worried about is hindi ko alam kung sino yung nasa likod niya or sa tabi niya Gail, what if it's Nithael?"

Goodness I should really stop thinking about it, mababaliw ako nito eh.
"Shunga ka kasi Sei eh! Ang shunga shunga mo"

Naghuhugas na nga nang pingga't lahat-lahat di padin matigil sa kaka-dada yung bibig niya "Kung tumitingin ka lang kasi sa daan sana 'di-".

Hindi ko na pinatapos ang dinasabi niya at pumunta nalang sa kwarto ko. I heard her shouting from the kitchen about me being rude to her for leaving her there.

When I'm about to enter my room my phone suddenly rang, I picked it from my pocket, It says that "Kelly" is calling. She is my branch manager in my restaurant here in the Philippines.

"Kelly..." I answered.
"Ma'am I just want to remind you that tomorrow is our Branch Opening incase you've forgotten. "

She said in full respect manner. How stupid I am to forget my branch opening here in the Philippines. I have 5 branches in U.S and 1 here in the Philippines.
"Yes yes Kelly thank you for informing me. I'll be coming over tomorrow" I said as I enter my room.

"Okay ma'am"
With that I ended the call and dropped my body in the soft mattress. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow. I sighed and drifted into deep slumber not minding Gail who's still shouting.

I was in the middle of wearing my dress for the branch opening of my restau when I heard a knock on the door.
"Who's that?" I asked as I zipper my dress. "Hija, ako to si Nana Tessa"

 Dali dali akong lumabas nang marinig ko yun.

"Nana!" Agad kong sigaw nang makita ko siya sa labas nang aking pintuan. I hugged her so tight and she just laughed at my reaction. It's been too long since the last time we've seen each other.

"Ay itong batang to oh! Miss na miss si Nana"
Tawa lang ako nang tawa sa mga pinagsasabi ni Nana, totoo naman kasing miss na miss ko siya. Siya yung tagapagtanggol ko noon sa t'wing napapagalitan ako ni mama.
"O siya sige ipagpatuloy mo na yung pagbibihis mo at magluluto pako nang agahan" Sabi ni Nana habang dahan dahan akong tinutulak papasok sa kwarto ko. Natawa nalang ako at pumasok na sa kwarto para maipagpatuloy ang pagbibihis ko.

I applied my nude shade lipstick at nag apply nang light na make up at kinuha ang heeled sandals ko then I'm done. I'm about to put my accessories when my phone beeped. It's a text message from Kelly.

Kelly.

"Ma'am the owner of LGC is coming to our branch opening."

I was caught off guard with the message. Nithael's surname is Lopez and I constructed my restaurant in LM .Last time I checked the owner of LGC is his father, I just don't know kung sino na ngayon.

Me.

"Okay." I replied.

I hurriedly put my accessories on. Kinuha ko yung pouch ko at bumaba na para magpaalam kay Nana.

"Na I'll get going"
Saad ko kay nana nang makababa nako.

"Ingat Sei! May iniwang note pala dito si Gail na magkita nalang daw kayo mamaya sa restaurant mo!" Sigaw ni nana mula sa kusina. I replied okay at lumabas na sa bahay agad na sumalubong sa akin ang kotse ko kaya sumakay nako kaagad at pinaharurot ito.

"Ingat po ma'am " Magalang na sambit ni Kuya Joel, ang guard ko dito sa bahay. "Salamat kuya" I smiled lightly and drove away.

Nung nakarating nako sa mall ay agad akong naghanap nang ma pa parkingan and gladly, ay nakahanap naman ako kaagad. Dali-dali akong lumabas nang kotse at nilakad takbo ang mall papuntang restaurant, hindi naman gaanong kadami yung tao sa mall kaya nakarating ako kaagad.

Napapalibutang nang kristal na dingding ang cafe kaya makikita kung sino yung nasa loob. Gail and Kelly were already there, I can see some of my employees too. I was about to enter when A veined arm crossed my eyes. I looked back and my knees turn to jelly when I saw if who is this guy. His eyes are piercing, his lips is so luscious, jaw locked and messy hair he is so tall na hanggang balikat niya lang ako, his well toned body. Goodness! He's perfect! Silly you sei, nakuha mo pa siyang i complement when he's already shutting you daggers through his eyes.

"Done eye raping me Ms.Zamora?" He asked sarcastically and entered the cafe leaving me dumbfounded. Did I what?! Eye raped him?! How dare he!
Pero yun naman talaga ang ginawa mo Seheiah Danielle said the other part of my mind. Gosh I'm going crazy.

I proceeded entering MY cafe goodness did he just insulted me infront of my cafe? But admit it Sei he looks deym hot earlier. Hindi na ako grabe ka gulat kanina dahil lagi ko naman siyang nakikitang fini feature nang samo't saring magazines.

"Sei! Magkasunod lang kayong pumasok!"

Yung bunganga nito kailangan din i staple minsan eh, makasigaw naman parang wala sa likod niya si Nithael
"I know Gail okay? You don't have to shout and besides, he's just behind you" 
I said with a voice that she'll be able to hear. Agad niyang tinakpan ang bibig niya at nanalaki ang mata na para bang gulat na gulat sa sinabi ko, dahan dahan niyang nilingon ang ulo niya at yun nga, nakatingin sa amin si Nithael na para bang pinag uusapan namin siya, which is true. Pinag uusapan naman talaga namin siya. I sighed and went inside my office not minding Nithael who's still looking at us and Gail who's still covering her mouth and eyes wide open.

Kelly immediately approached me. I admit that she looks stunning with her bodycon red off shoulder dress and black heels, Gail is wearing a grey tank top, black bandage skirt and black stiletto while I was wearing a overflowing nude dress and a nude heels.

The employees are in their uniform. It's like a Chinese dress with both slit at the sides and hair in a perfect bun and light make up. We all look amazing here. And oh! Nithael is wearing a black tuxedo and black topsider, he looks extremely hot talking to some bachelors whom I invited also.

I entered my office and Kelly and Gail followed " Gail you remove your palm on your mouth, you look stupid" I said annoyingly. She faced me with a shocked face
"Did you just told me stupid?!" She asked still shocked. I don't really mean it I just want to piss her, I love my bestie, (goodness sooo cheesy ).I didn't mind her and signalled Kelly to come over . She is biting her lip maybe to suppress her laugh.
"Tell the visitors that we'll start in a few minutes "
She just nod her head and went out of the office " Are you ready to face him Sei?" Asked Gail, maybe she had already moved on about me telling her 'stupid' I laughed at that thought. I faced her.

"I should be Gail, I should be."
