The Beauty Of Paeoniaceae (Untamed Heart #1) ☑

Chapter 26

I was busy making Carbonara in Crodore Cuisine's kitchen when I saw Allen entering inside the kitchen. She's one of my workers here in Crodore Cuisine.

"Pasensya na po ma'am pero may naghahanap po sa inyo sa labas." Sabi niya sa'kin. Kumunot naman ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

Tumango ako sa kanya at saglit iniwan ang aking gawain para puntahan ang taong naghahanap sa'kin.

I smiled when I saw Lila sitting in the waiting area. She also smiled at me when she saw me approaching her.

"Hi, I'm glad that you came here again." Masayang sabi ko sa kanya. Tumango naman siya doon at masiglang ngumiti sa'kin.

"Well, who shouldn't come back here if your foods always whispering in my ear. My God! Did you put magic in your food?" Napatawa ako dahil doon.

"Well, maybe."

"Hmm, can you share it with me? I promise I'll keep it a secret." I was ready to answer her when someone's entered inside of my restaurant that made us look there.

My eyes widened when I saw who was entered. He was looking at me and Lila na para bang kami talaga ang sadya dito.

My heart fluttered when he started to walk towards us. I looked at Lila, who was also looking at me now, she smiled at me gave me peace sign.

"Sorry, Peony hehehe. My cousin really needs to talk with you." Hindi makapaniwalang tiningnan ko siya. So, she planned it, huh.

Tiningnan ko ulit si Thaddeus na nakalapit na sa'min at nakatingin lang siya sa'kin.

"Ahm, Maybe I should go na, babosh." Tapos iniwan kaming dalawa ni Thaddeus.

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin gayon nandito na siya sa harap ko. It's been years, but his effect on me still the same as before and it was never changed.

I licked my lower lips to calm myself. I don't want to show him that I'd still have an effect on him. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla itong pumunta dito.

Tiningnan ko ulit siya at nakatingin parin siya sa'kin. He raised his brow as he waited for me to talk with him.

I give him a menu so he can choose what he want to eat. Maybe he's here to eat not to talk with me dahil wala naman kaming pag-uusapan.

"Two Carbonara with mango shake." Tumango ako sa kanya at nilista ang order niya. Umalis siya sa harap ko upang humanap ng pwesto.

I served his order on him, nakatingin lang siya sa'kin habang ginagawa ko iyon sa kanya.

"Sit" Napatingin ako sa kanya ng bigla itong nagsalita.

"W-what?" Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang narinig ko mula sa kanya pero ayaw kung mag-assume kaagad, maybe I misheard it.

"I said sit!" Matigas na sabi niya.

"F-for what, sir? You're our costumer kaya hindi naman tama na makikisabay ako sa'yo and I still had a work." Lakas loob na sabi ko sa kanya. Nakita ko naman ang pagtaas ng isang kilay niya.

"I don't care if you still had a work! All I want is you sit here so we can talk properly!" Umawang saglit ang aking labi dahil sa sinabi niya. Talk? Bakit naman kami mag-uusap?

Ay oo nga pala ito nga pala ang isa sa mga rason ko kung bakit ako umuwi dito sa Pilipinas.

Wala akong nagawa kundi ang umupo sa harap niya. Ayaw kong mag eksena siya dito sa restaurant ko just because of his childish attitude.
