Part 12
Alex's POV

"you can always ask manang for assistance ha Alex." pag papaalala ni ate bago pa man siya makaalis.

I wiped my tears and hugged her tight, It'll surely be different without her.

"oh stop crying na." Dad said at niyakap si Ate.

She left without even turning her back at us, this time sure na ko na sobrang disidido na siyang umalis.

Kinabukasan

"Alex, nakuha mo ba yung sinabi ko sayo? " Dad asked, he was straightly looking at me habang nag b breakfast kaming tatlo.

Umiling ako, masyadong lutang pa yung utak ko at hindi ako sanay na si dad ang nag uutos saken kesa kay ate.

"sorry dad, pakiulit po." I answered and then looked at him.

"I said, I'll pick you up sa bahay nang kuya mo after my board meeting tonight, okay? "

I nodded and then continued eating, sobrang nakakabingi yung katahimikan kaya I chewed fast at bumalik na agad sa kuwarto ko.

0956*** calling...

I answered the call immediately baka kasi school ito or baka si ate na new number from abroad.

"yes hello? "
[Alex? This is Jamie, Jamie Smith. I hope naaalala mo pa]
"ofcourse tita,what made you call po? "
[I just wanted to have some business arrangements with you kase, okay lang ba if we meet here sa shop? ]
"no problem tita, I'll be there in 2 hours po."
[thankyou so much, Alex. Take care.]
End call

I was wondering what made her call and what business arrangement tita wanted to do with me, di naman ako business woman nor selling anything.

I went to fix myself before attending the so called business meeting.

"I'll be meeting Mrs. Smith, did she told you about that, Dad? " I asked.

Dad looked liked he'd be staying here sa bahay at mukhang wala siyang pupuntahang event or meeting. Baka kasi kinausap muna siya ni tita before calling me.

"yup, ingat ka. Are you driving? " Dad asked.

"nope, dalhin ko na lang driver mo po." I answered. He just nodded and kissed me on my cheek.

I left na and texted tita that I'm on my way

After a few hours nakarating narin ako sa Smith's and was surprised na nakita ko yung mom niya sitting with a lot of board members also from our company, di ko alam anong business meeting ito.

"hi, goodevening." bati ko nang tinignan nilang lahat yung paglapit ko sa table nila, tita offered me a seat beside her kaya naman nakapag ayos nako at nakinig na sa mga pinaguusapan nila.

"I've already asked his dad for his approval, he's fine with it he just told me to ask his daughter." sabi ni Tita sa kaharap namin.

"so, have you asked her? "

"not yet, I'd like to ask personally kaso you have moved the meeting that's why she's also here." pagkasabi ni tita noon ay lahat sila nag tinginan saakin.

I smiled at them, sobrang wala akong alam sa mga pinaguusapan nila dito, I know it's about something between business and me and sadly hanggang dun lang ang alam ko.

"I'd like to ask a favor from you." Tita said tas hinawakan niya yung kamay ko. "Gusto ko kasing ikaw ang mag endorse at maging brand ambassador nang Smith's."

I was shookt, hindi naman ako sikat na tao to do this, I don't even know anything about endorsing.

"p-pero, hindi naman po ako sikat." I told her, hindi naman kailangan nang endorser nang Smith's dahil isa na siyang malaking pastry shop and sobrang dinadayo dito sa pinas even sa Europe.

"you don't have to, I just wanted you to pose for some billboard pictures for the entire country up to Europe." she explained. God knows I wasn't prepared for this.

I slowly nodded and smiled "sure tita, anything for you." I said.

Nakipag shake hands nako sakanila and they left. I had to spare some time to talk to tita before leaving, gusto ko lang naman ma clarify bat ako yung napili nila, sa dinami dami ba naman nang connections nila hindi ba sila makakahanap nang mas better saakin.

Nag lagay nang tray si tita na may coffee and pastries sa table.

"I'm sure you'd ask bakit ikaw" she told me before she sat down infront of my chair.

"yes tita, andami niyo po kasing mas alam na sikat at mas better saakin."

"hindi ko naman kailangan nang buyers, I just wanted to show others how innocent face looks like, kumbaga, hindi kita kinuha to attract buyers but to represent my store." she said.
