Hachiro's POV

People are trying to approach us, but none of them manage to stay. These guys are literally chasing them off, and I can only shake my head in resignation as I watch individuals—whether they're young or old—walk away with slumped shoulders and disappointed expressions. It's quite the spectacle.

Well, no one can really blame them. These people are only interested in connections, and we don't let just anyone into our lives. Tanging yung mga taong mapagkakatiwalaan lang namin at taong alam naming walang balak na gawin kaming kalaban. Our circle is tight, and we guard it fiercely.

Jason approaches and stands beside me, breaking through the buzz. "Yow, dude. It's been a while since we've seen you, Hachi. How's life treating you?" he asks, a grin on his face.

"Nothing much happening," I respond nonchalantly.

Dylan, ever the mischief-maker, claps me on the back with a hearty laugh. "Pfft. Nothing much daw pero may babaeng kasama yan kanina, mga erps. Quite the catch, wasn't she?" He teases, his eyes glinting with curiosity. I keep my face neutral, choosing not to react. I know better than to give them any clues—they'd only pester me more if I did. Gusto ko lang siyang maging kaibigan.

The truth is, despite my reputation and connections, I've always been deeply passionate about cooking. My real field of study was culinary arts. I pursued it before switching to business, ultimately graduating in both disciplines. I put my culinary dreams on hold to focus on growing the Electronics Company, which has now become my primary business focus.

Anong kinalaman ng Electronics sa pagkain, di ba? It seems like such a distant connection, and that's why I had to set aside my love for cooking. However, my love for cooking never faded, and it often brings me back to where my true passion lies.

But then, hearing about Kamala's background, her passion as a chef reignited my own desires. Damn, I found myself longing to return to that path. It's like a part of me that's been dormant suddenly awakened.

I thought about giving the CEO position back to my dad, but I knew he'd scold me to no end. So that option's out. And passing the position to my younger sister? She would refuse without a second thought, and honestly, I don't want to deal with that kind of confrontation.

So, it looks like I'm stuck in this role. But damn, I'm tempted. I want to return to what I truly love.

They were about to pry more into my personal life when Kevs intervened. I'm not ready to reveal my interest in Kamala. These guys would only make a spectacle out of it, and I'm sure it would annoy her as well. They have a habit of meddling in each other's affairs, both personal and professional. It's just their way.

"Broooo!" tumingin ako sa gilid. Si Kevin na papalapit habang may hawak na pagkain.

"Dude, hindi ka ba kumain sa bahay niyo? Sobrang dami yata niyan?" tanong ni Jason ay Kevs habang naiiling.

"Bro! Sobrang sarap ng pagkain! Exquisite!" Kevin looked genuinely amazed by the dishes.

"Pfft. Totoo ba yan? Ikaw na masyadong mahal ang abs ay tuwang tuwa sa pagkain?" Dylan teased him, laughing.

I couldn't help but smile. I expected nothing less from her. She really impressed the guests, especially these guys. She's truly amazing.

"He's telling the truth. Try it, dude." dumating si Dave na may dala ding plato ng pagkain.
