The Cold Ones

Chapter 3

"HI. Uhm, you need any help?" tanong ko sa isang babae. Ang ganda niya. She looks so innocent and fragile. But her green eyes looks sad "I'm Price by the way. Ice for short."

Nagdadalawang-isip pa siya kung tatanggapin niya ang kamay ko. b
But in the end, she accepted it. "Schatrice. Incidentally, Ice din for short." We shook hands.

Ice din siya? cool!

"Your new here right? Ngayon lang kasi kita nakita. Your year and course?" I asked and took the seat next to her.

"Yes. 4th year Civil Engineering..." coincidence ba to?

"Pareho pala tayo! And seems like, magkaklase tayo. Let's go together nalang." I offered my hand to her. "What do you say?" She smiled at me for the first time. Then took my hand. This time, without hesitation.

"We've known each other for 2 months now, Schatrice. And I think I.. I like you." I held her hands and looked at her in the eyes.

"I... I like you too, Price."

"So, tayo na ba?" kakaibang kaba ang naramdaman ko habang hinihintay amg sagot niya. But i know i wont stop even if she says no.

"I gu-guess so...?"

"Really?! Oh my! Yes! From now on, I'll be your Ice and you'll be my baby Icey. And from now on, we're officially the Ice Couple!" hindi ko mapigilan ang magtatatalon at magsisisigaw. Ang saya ko!

Then I gave her a peck on the lips...

alam kong mabilis ang mga pangyayari but, we feel the same. I like her, she likes me. I want us to be together.

NAPABALIKWAS ako ng bangon when I heard my bedside clock ring. Habang papunta ako sa bathroom, I remembered my dream.

Siya na naman. bulong ng isip ko. halos gabi-gabi ko nalang napapanaginipan ang babaeng ito. Sino ba siya?

***Icey's POV***

THANK God its Saturday! Nagkaroon din ako ng time to relax and free myself from all the drama Imperio is giving me. Finally nagawa ko rin ang gustong-gusto kong ginagawa. Baking!

I'm currently at my café, baking some lovely cakes. Yes I have a café but nobody knew I'm its owner Well, except sa mga friends ko. College palang ako nung pinatayo ko ang main branch nito sa Pilipinas. Then 7 years ago, nung lumago na I decided to branch out here in New York.

I already had this café even before I became well-known. Before I became the Demoniece of the business world, I first became Schatrice of TCI. Kaya kahit gaano pa ako kayaman ngayon, I make sure I have time for this.

Hindi naman mahirap ang trabaho ko sa Imperio. Isa lang naman akong hamak na bidder. Tsss. Pangalan lang yang Vice President chuchu na yan. ang totoo kelangan lang nila ako kapag meron silang gustong iclose na account. Or kung merong mga malalaking tao o kompanyang gusto nilang ipakausap sakin.

I'm the VP of Imperio De Concuerra pero wala akong pakialam sa pagpapatakbo sa kompanyang yun. Basta't nakakapagclose ako ng accounts, I'm good.

I own a lot of company hindi lang sa loob ng Imperio. Gaya ng aviation company ko na naitayo ko a few years ago.

But about 48% of my riches are all hand-me-downs.

Like yung Engineering and Construction Company na Rein binigay sakin ng daddy ni Andrew. It was a graduation gift since i graduated Engineering. its still part of Emperio and I'm proud to say its bringing the biggest part of profit in the company.
