"What's with them?" Cleo muttered to herself as she noticed Sir Lorenzo, Trace, and Laureen gathered in one place.
"Hello?"
She snapped back to her senses at the sound of her mother's voice from the phone pressed against her ear. Sa wakas, sinagot din ang tawag niya.
"Hello, Mom?" Agad niyang isinantabi ang iniisip tungkol kina Laureen at lumabas ng Oren Bar para mas marinig ang kausap.
Napansin nyang kasunod nyanglumabas si Trace pero pumunta naman ito sa ibang direksyon kaya hindi nya nalang pinansin.
"Mom, you're pissing me off! Grabe na ha! pumayag na nga akong mag-work, tapos pati ba naman yung mga inorder ko online, hindi ko pa makukuha? Yung last money ko pa yung pinangbayad ko doon!"
Napadyak pa siya sa sobrang inis.
Kanina kasi, chineck niya ang orders niya at nakita niyang delivered na raw. Pero wala naman siyang natanggap. Yun pala, nasa mommy niya lahat.
Andoon pa naman ang mga perfume, nail polish, at skincare niya. Eh what if magbreakout sya?
"My gosh! I can't even!"
"Anong pumayag?" sagot ng mommy niya. "Wala ka lang talagang choice kundi mag-work dahil wala ka nang allowance. Remember? You spent all your money on unnecessary things like there's no tomorrow. Hindi ganon kadaling kumita ng pera, Cleo. Kahit mayaman tayo, gusto kong matuto ka."
At bigla na lang nitong ibinaba ang tawag.
Napatigil si Cleo, saka napabuga ng hangin sa sobrang inis.
"So that's it?! Hindi nya sakin ibibigay mga orders ko?!" she muttered. "The heck, Mom! I hate you!" she hissed before shoving her phone into her pocket.
She was about to head back inside when someone suddenly blocked her path.
"So I was right, rich kid ka?"
Cleo frowned as she recognized Yuen, kaya naman napairap sya.
"Oh? You care?" she shot back sarcastically. Hindi nya parin makalimutang nakipag-agawan ito sa kanya ng pag-aapply dito sa bar nung first meet nila.
"Not really. Just curious." A playful grin spread across his face, making her raise a brow. She had to admit, he looked good when he smiled. No wonder customers liked him. Friendly, charming.
But still, Trace was more handsome. Way more! But he barely smiled, unless Laureen was around.
"Are you done? Can I pass now?" she said, clearly losing patience.
"Don't you remember me?"
Cleo frowned. "Should I?" hindi sumagot si Yuen kaya lalo syang nairita. "Move!" Binangga niya ito para makaraan, pero napatawa si Yuen kaya napaharap ulit siya.
