CHAPTER 25
SM WAS looking at the man sitting in front of her. Maybe in his early thirties. Isang lalaking hindi niya kilala na hinanap siya sa Café niya at gusto siyang nakausap. Kapagkuwan ay pinakita nito sa kaniya kaparehong sulat na pinakita sa kaniya ni Jacques nuong unang dating nito.
The Letter of Order to be her butler.
And this one is a well-known Businessman in France.
SM took a deep breath and smile. "I'm sorry that you have to came all the way to the Philippines for this, Mr. Ricafort."
"No." Anito na umiling, "this is an honor for me and my family, milady."
Her smile remains, "unfortunately, I cannot accept you. I already have Marquess Jacques Sotelo as my Butler."
Kumunot ang noo ni Mr. Ricafort. "But there has been no announcement that you already accepted someone as your Butler. That means, you haven't yet signed his Letter of Order."
Tumango siya. "Yes, I still haven't, but I'm planning to. He already grows on me. I apologize."
Bahagyan namang yumukod ang kaharap. "If it is your decision, I'll respect it." Tumayo na ito saka nagpaalam, "I will take my leave now, milady."
May ngiti pa rin sa mga labi niya, "take care."
"Thank you, milady."
Pinagmasdan niya ang paglalakad ni Mr. Ricafort palabas ng Café niya kung saan nakasalubong nito ang Marquess sa labas ng pintuan.
And she saw how Jacques' face paled when he saw Mr. Ricafort. Kaagad itong nagmamadaling pumasok saka halos takbuhin ang pagitan nilang dalawa.
He looks worried and sad. "Please tell me you didn't accept him?"
Sa halip na sagutin ito, inilahad niya ang kamay dito. "Give me your Letter of Order."
And Jacques was like a boy scout, always ready. Inilabas nito mula sa wallet ang letter of order nito saka inabot sa kaniya. Siya naman ay walang imik na dinala iyon sa counter, kinuha ang ballpen na naroon saka pinirmahan 'yon bago ibinalik kay Jacques.
"Oh, heto."
Jacques was gaping at her. "Y-you're really accepting me?"
Tumango siya saka nginitian ang binata. "Yes. You're my only butler, right?"
"Yes!" He exclaimed before smiling widely. "Thank you, milady. I shall call my parents now. They'll be very happy."
Jacques was beaming with happiness as he steps outside the café to call his parents. Nakangiti naman siya habang nakatingin sa binata na may kausap na sa cellphone nito.
She knew she made the right decision. Jacques is a nice person.
And he can tolerate Knight weirdness and craziness... so that's a plus for her.
Akmang hahakbang na siya patungo sa opisina niya ng makita ang dalawang lalaki na nakasakay sa motorsiklo na dumaan sa harapan ng café at may ihinagis sa café niya.
Namilog ang mga mata niya ng makita kung ano 'yon.
A grenade!
Jacques!
But she got worried over nothing. Someone throws a knife at the grenade making it explode before it reached halfway.
Ang nangyari, ang nagtapon ng granada ang nasabugan.
