“Oh, ano na pare? Kayo na ba nung Cassandra mo?” Tanong ni Ezekiel. “Eh kasi naman brod, yung pustahan natin ang tagal ng lumipas mga 2 weeks na siguro, pare,” Dagdag pa nito.

“Oo nga, James. I really thought na mapapasagot mo yun within 2 weeks. She looks like she has an eye into you anyway,” Dagdag na pressure ni Theodore kay James.

“I can’t wait to get a million each on you guys. I wanted to buy the a lot that I saw in Pagudpod without using any of my Father’s money,” sabi naman ni Elliot.

“You think you’re gonna win the bet, Elliot? Remember we’re seperated in two teams here, so the team that wins should share the price,” Hirit naman ni Sean. “And I’m on your team, El and we bet that this guy will make that Cassandra fall for him,”

“Shut up, you guys!” rinding sita niya sa mga kaibigan. “I never agreed to this bet. So, Don’t pressure me because you can’t wait to win. Binubuwag ko muna yung mataas na dipensa ni Cassandra then I’ll make my move,”

“Atta Boy!” Sigaw nang mga JESTER members sa sinabi niya.

“You don’t have to place a bet. Just do what you want and we will enjoy ourselves betting on what will happen to both of you,” Tatawa-tawang sabi ni Sean.

“Thanks guys. You’re a real friend,” sarkastikong sabi ni James na idiniin pa ang salitang real. “Well gotta go. I need to make my secretary fall for me. Within a week, I will get her sweetest ‘YES’” at umalis na sa harap nang ka-brod niya. “Crazy Guys..,” naibulong na lang niya.

Bago pa siya makalabas ay narinig niyang nagsigawan ang mga ito ng, “Oh hell, YEAH!”

“Hello, Margaret? Yes, it’s me James. I want you to deliver flowers to my office. I’ll give you the details,” sabi ni James sa kausap sa telepono.

Tumawa pa si James nang marinig ang sagot sa telepono. “No. No. I won’t use your flowers to make a lady cry again. Its for a special friend,” sabi niya habang papalapit siya sa kotse niya. “Ok. Ok. Please deliver it as fast as you can. Yes, thank you, Marge. You’re really my wee angel,” At tinapos na niya ang kwentuhan sa kaibigan.

“Delivery po, Miss Cassandra Valdez? Paki-sign na lang po ito,” sabi nang delivery boy na may hawak na bulaklak. Takang-taka man  ay kinuha na niya ang bulaklak at pinirmahan ang papel.

“Para sa akin?” naitanong pa niya sa delivery boy. “Sure kang hindi ka nagkamali nang pinagdalhan na floor ha?” pagsisiguro pa niya.

“Sigurado pong kay Cassandra Valdez po ang bulaklak. Ang hindi ko lang po sigurado e kung kayo nga si Cassandra Valdez,” sabi pa nang delivery boy.

“Ako nga si Cassandra. Sige kuya, maraming salamat sito sa pagdeliver,” Nakangiti at kumaway pa si KC sa papaalis na delivery man. “Kanino naman kaya ito? Wala naman akong suitors,” Takang tanong niyasa sarili. “Card... Card... I’m sure na may nakalagay na dedication card dito. Nasan na kaya iyon?” pinaikot-ikot pa ni Cassandra ang Boquet nang red roses. “Ayun!” Biniklat niya ito at binasa.
