~Third Person~
As soon as Aga recovered from the shock, he blinked his eyes few more times to confirm if it was really the girl who she just bumped into a while ago. Hindi siya makapaniwala na magkikita ulit sila at agad-agad pa ito mangyayari.
He then shifted his gaze towards Lea's dad, "Sir, with all due respect, may I ask if this is your secretary? Or at least employee? If that's the case, you should fire her by now because she cursed me earlier for a sin I did not commit." Then he smirked triumphantly at Lea.
Obviously, Lea's cheeks turned red because she was shamed by this asshole in front of her father and her sister. Also, she couldn't accept that fact that he addressed her as a secretary and worse, employee of a company they own. Nahiya naman ang beauty ni Lea.
Lea arched her eyebrows before bursting into a scornful laugh.
Arthur cleared his throat, "Ah no, Ariel. She is actua-"
"Dad, I'll introduce myself." Lea cut her father off.
Shock was understatement for Ariel because he just heard this secretary called Mr. Suarez, dad. Alam niya na sobrang nakakahiya ang ginawa niya at alam na rin niya ang ibig sabihin nito. He gulped.
Lea looked at Ariel and genuinely smiled at him. "Hi! We meet once again. First of all, to clear things out, I did not say "fuck you" earlier, I cussed because it was my expression whenever I'm pissed off. Okay, let me introduce myself, I am Marie Lea Alexandra V. Suarez, 29 years old. I graduated summa cum laude from ADMU. So, next time, be careful with your words especially saying "tanga" to someone you don't even know. Also, I only have one older sister, Marie Rachel V. Suarez." She pointed at her Ate Dawn. "Lastly, I am the second born daughter of Mr. Arthur Suarez, MY DAD." Emphasizing the last two words then she pointed at her dad. After introducing herself, she smirked at Ariel.
Everyone seemed so confused especially Lea's dad and sister because she talked too much to a stranger and that is very unusual of her. She is only talking too much if she's pissed and that is most likely the reason.
"You two met already?"asked Rachel curiously.
"Yes, Ate, he is the one who bumped into me and refused to replace my broken gadgets. Hay! What a nice man." Then she pouted at her ate.
"And you, be a good man naman next time. Just because you are rich, it doesn't mean that you can look down on a simple employee who is working hard for your company, though I'm not an employee. They work for you and that's why you are rich. You should be grateful to them, goodness." Then Lea rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Alexandra." That is the only thing Ariel can utter to her.
"Call me Lea, Oh God! Stop calling me Alexandra. And, don't say sorry to me just because you knew that we own this company. You should say sorry to all the employee you belittle." Then she sat down again.

~Ariel~
Okay, that was too much embarrassment for this day. What the fuck, Ariel? You called your future in-law's daughter a secretary? What has gotten into my mind? I should've controlled my mouth.
Sa dami nang nalaman ko ngayong araw ay hindi ko man lang natitigan ang babaeng humaling na humaling ako, si Rachel. Sa sobrang pagkapahiya talaga ay kulang na lang ay magpalamon ako sa lupa.
So, what I have been thinking since the other day was all true. She has a sister and damn it she owned a lot of consoles. I knew it. It wasn't Rachel but I think, I am left with no choice anymore. Baka kapag umurong ako sa kasal ay tuluyan nang bumagsak ang kompanya namin, sayang ang hardworks ni dad. I will agree with the marriage for the sake of our company and para makabawi kay tito Arthur. After all, marriage was just a legal process to merge the 2 companies. I can do whatever I want after that fucking marriage.
"Ariel, narinig mo ba ang sinabi ng tito Arthur mo?" dad asked me.
"I'm sorry dad and tito, I spaced out, what was it again po?"then I shyly looked at tito Arthur.
"She's the one you're going to marry." Then he pointed at Lea. Malinaw kong nakita kung sino ang itinuro niya.
I looked at Lea, no, more like stared at her. Ngayon ko lang na-appreciate ang mukha at suot niya. She is actually beautiful but Rachel is more beautiful pa rin 'no? She is actually hot with that oversized flannel and woah there, we have actually matching shoes.
Out of nowhere, I blurted, "Si Rachel po?"
"No, hijo. Si Lea yung tinuro ko." alam ko po tito, nanigurado lang hehe
I looked at Lea once again and bakit parang hindi siya nagulat sa revelation na yon? Baka naman napagdugtong na niya lahat, sabagay matalino nga raw siya, halata naman sa itsura niya. Mukha ring hindi pala-salita kaso nasagad ko ata nang todo kaya nabugahan ako.
Sa totoo lang ay hindi naman ako nangmamaliit ng mga tao or tauhan. I just don't know bakit ko siya inasar kanina. Something in me urged me to do it. Ang cute niya kapag naaasar. No, Ariel! Loyal ka kay Rachel. What the hell is happening to me?
"A-ah kay Lea po?" I stuttered.
"Yes, to me. Is there any problem, mister?" Lea asked me directly with raised eyebrows. Grabe, she has that ability na kaya niyang patahimikin or takutin ang kausap niya sa pamamagitan lang nang pagtaas ng kilay. And I am one of her victims.
"Ah! W-wala n-naman... I-Im sorry again for the things I've said and did earlier." I smiled sincerely at her and she just rolled her eyes to me.
God! What a bitch? Attitude ka ghorl?
I wanted to leave this office as soon as possible because I felt suffocated whenever I see Lea so I signaled my dad to bid his goodbyes. Buti na lang at naintindihan niya agad.
My father stood up, "Pare, since they knew each other na and since may kailangan pa akong gawin, mauuna na kami ha? Girls, nice to meet the both of you." The two girls smiled and nodded at my father.
I also stood up and before we leave tito Arthur's office, "U-uhm Lea, papalitan ko yung iPad at Nintendo Switch mo."
"No need, I can buy more than 10 of those if I want." then she sarcastically smiled at me. Kaya naman pala niyang bumili, pinapapalitan pa sakin kanina, ang gulo talaga ng mga babae. Ang hirap nilang basahin.
I just said sorry one last time then made my way out of tito's office. What a turn of events? That girl is really getting into my nerves.
My dad and I entered the car immediately. He looked at me, "Ariel, first of all, hindi ko gusto ang inasta mo kanina, nakakahiya. Second, if you don't want the marriage to push through, just tell me, I'll understand." He gave me a stern but with a concern look.
"No, dad. It will push through kahit na hindi si Rachel. For the company, dad." I gave him an assuring smile.
"Are you sure? To be honest, mukhang mas bagay sayo si Lea kaysa kay Rachel." At talagang nakuha pa ni dad na mang-asar.
"Dad naman!" he chuckled.
"Nako, ikaw ha Ariel, huwag na huwag kang magloloko kapag mag-asawa na kayo ni Lea." He lightly punched my arms.
Before saying anything, I held his hand, "Dad, nung isang araw ka pa ha. I told you na you can call me Aga, sobrang formal nung Ariel eh."
"And about sa sinabi mo, I can't promise na I can stay loyal kay Lea kapag mag-asawa na kami." I joked.
