Laws of Attraction: 22

They arrived in Subic just around mid-morning. They are waiting for Mr. Tuviera when Cielo and Lhotte came out.

"Oh, Hello Atty. RJ." Cielo greeted.

"Hi Ladies." RJ greeted back.

"Hello Atty RJ!" Lhotte said as she batted her eyelashes. She then turned to Maine and Jing, "Musta Atty. Maine, Ms. Jing?"

"Okay naman. Ah, Lhotte, Cielo I would like to you to meet Atty. Andrew Roberts." Maine answered as she introduces Drei to the two.

Drei extended his arms to shake the hands of both women. "Good Morning Ladies. Please to meet you."

Both Cielo and Lhotte tries to get ahead of each other in shaking Drei's hand. Finally, Cielo was able to hold Drei's extended hand first so Lhotte just reached for Drei's other hand to shake.

Mr. Tuviera walked in at that exact moment he then cleared his throat. "Ahhhhmmm.... Ahhhmmm."

RJ, Maine and Jing stood upright while Cielo and Lhotte dropped Drei's hands like a hot potato.

"Cielo, Lhotte ano yan?" Mr. Tuviera asked as he looks the the people on the receiving area.

"Nothing Uncle."Both ladies immediately responded.

RJ finally spoke, "Mr. Tuviera, Good Morning Sir." He extended his arm for handshake.

"Atty. Good Morning. Okay lang ba sa inyo na sa dagat tayo mag meeting?"

"Sa beach sir? Sa labas?" Jing asked.

"Yeah. Dumating na kase yung yatch na binili ko. Gusto ko sana subukan eh. Sumama na kayo. Para naman makapag relax din kayo. I know you've all been working so hard for this case. This is the only thing I can offer at the moment."

"Naku Sir. You don't have to worry about us. We are just doing our work." RJ said.

"Hay naku. I won't take 'no' for an answer."

"Oh. Okay Sir. Whatever you want." RJ then answered.

"Uncle, medyo over dress sila. I think they need to change into a more comfortable and appropriate clothes for the ride." Cielo pointed out.

"Yes. I agree." Mr. Tuviera said. "Ladies, maybe you can help both Maine and Jing to find something to wear." He then turned to the two men and continued, "Atty, meron din shop don harap ng resort. I'm sure meron kayo dong mapipili."

"Naku Sir, wag na po." RJ answered then he muttered to himself, "Mapapagastos pa ako."

"No RJ. I insist. I own that outlet shop. Just get anything you want. Ako na bahala."

"But, Sir..." RJ was about to argue.

"Go now. Cielo and Lhotte, kayo na ang sumama sa kanila. I'll meet you in an hour sa yatch." Mr. Tuviera said with finality.

"Of course Uncle. Kame na bahala sa kanila." Cielo assured her uncle with a naughty smile.

After an hour, they all boarded the yatch. Mr. Tuviera then said. Oh sabi ko bumili kayo don eh. Bakit ganyan pa din ang mga suot niyo?"

"Uncle, you only gave us an hour to do the shopping. Syempre hindi na sila kapagpalit. I mean yung mga boys were easily able to choose what they will wear. Pero iba sa babae eh. Pressured na nga kame sa 1 hour mo eh."

"Sila ba ang natagalan or kayong dalawa?"

"Well, kasama na din yon. Hahaha... But Uncle we've already asked the guys to go ahead so they can still change."
