H&J’s opened early because the equipment were being brought in that day.

Masayang masaya magkasama ang magjowa dahil they can slowly feel their success.

“Galing mo talaga bebe! If it wasn’t for you…”

“If it wasn’t for us…” Heidi emphasized.

James smiled and gave her a tight hug.

Unexpectedly, MM drove to the shop.

As he entered, he removed his shades, brushed up his hair and gave a good look at the place.

Pogi ng dating ano!

But here goes MM, “So eto pala shop niyo? Not bad.”

He brushed his fingers thru the shelves to find a few specks of dust, “and dirty ha?” he laughed.

“Ah! Konting punas lang yan..It was my idea of the design.” James said.

MM nodded agreeing to the style inside, “So walang nacontribute dito girlfriend mo?”

“Ah hindi! Siya nakapagpatayo neto! Kundi dahil sakanya..wala kaming ganito.” James praised his girl.

“It isn’t hard to put a shop, the challenge is keeping it alive.” MM added.

Nagpantig tenga ni Heidi, “This business won’t be going anywhere. Sisiguraduhin kong bebenta kami.”

MM looked at her with an eyebrow raised, “Be sure.”

Alam ni James na nagkakapukinan nanaman ang dalawa kaya he insisted to tour MM nalang inside the kitchen para lang maghiwalay sila ni Heidi ng lugar.

After a few minutes, James was about to leave dahil may work pa din ito.

MM agreed, but wanted to know where the supermarket was.

Sa tagal niyang nawala, ung mga alam niyang mga establishments nagbago na.

Eh wala nang pagkain sa bahay itong si MM.

“May pasok ako Mar.. mamaya nalang! Samahan kita." James gave a pat on MM's back.

"Kaso...wala akong food at home. Alam mo naman siguro na I'm very precise with my food..hindi ako fan ng pagkain labas."

Hearing this, walang nagawa si Heidi, “Ako sasama skanya.”

She remembered what she said, “I promise to take care of your brother while he’s here.”

Kaya no choice, kahit masama pa loob neto.

Hazel and Hayzeline met up.

Nakaformal attire din si Hazel, just in case magka-crash job interview siya sa office.

“Tinalo mo pa ako ha?” Hayzeline commented.

Nag malarampa naman si Hazel just for the moment.

As they entered the building of Gammonel Corporation, namangha si Hazel sa laki neto.

It was an elegant structure, iniwan muna ni Hayzeline ang kaibigan sa lobby.
