Brianna Huangco's POV

Days have been passed since Ashleys debut and Friday came. After playing with Senator Brian in the maze, I spend the rest of the night having fun with Ashley and her friends. I suddenly missed how I make fun with my colleagues way back college.

"Para saan 'yan, Miss Anna?" April asked. I just gave her a small smile and didn't speak.

I am now packing lunch and I'm planning to give it to Senator Brian. Nothing's special. I just thought of giving him a lunch. Besides, my guts can't just be stable and feel like I want to see senator.

"Si Anna may love life na!" akusa sa akin ni Kio.

"Tanga! Nagbaon lang ng lunch, may love life na?" I defended.

After packing lunch, I went down from manager's office to lobby, to meet my bodyguard there and drove a car to senator's office. As we went there, I just leave my bodyguard outside since most of the people here are the highest people in the Philippines so I just thought of they won't bother me.

I asked a help to a lady in the reception area to assist me, way to senator's office. She guided me from the lobby until we reached the 20th floor of the building. She didn't leave the elevator and just pointed sentor's office, just adjucent from the elevator. I went inside his office without knocking and see him busy doing some papers in his table.

"Surprise!" I said to get his attention. I saw how his eyes widened when he saw me and his lips partially dropped.

"What are you doing here?" he asked still in shock.

"Hindi ba 'ko pwede dito?" I said, acting innocent.

"Oh, no! Sorry, come in," he panicked.

"Lunch?" I said and raise the pack lunch I made.

I saw him smile as she cupped his face with his one hand with a ballpen. That made me smile and go near him. I put on his desk the pack lunch as I went beside him.

"You made this?" He asked and lick his lips, hiding his smirk.

"Yup, does it made you flutter?" I teased.

"This is the first time someone made me a pack lunch," he explained. I cross my arms over my chest and lean my back on his table, watching him unlatching the lunch box. He took the utensils I put and start eating.

The pack lunch I made is just like a traditional bento that holds rice, meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables. The only special thing there is that I made that myself.

"Kumain ka na?" he suddenly asked and looked at me. I smile and shook my head.

He put down the utensils for a moment, to pull an ottoman under his table and tap it for me to sit. He move the lunch box towards me and continue doing his papers, so as I start eating.

"Ahh," I muttered and place a spoon with a rice and meat in front of him. He look at me first with confusion on his face before he bite what I gave to him.

"You cook that?" he asked while his eyes are still on papers. I just answered him a hum since there's a food inside my mouth. "Masarap."

"Ha?" I asked as if I didn't hear him but I really did hear him. I just want him to repeat it.

"Masarap," he said again.

"Ha?" I asked again, grinning. He look at me with bored eyes.

"I said masarap. Yung pagkain, masarap," he said a bit annoyed. I laugh to his reaction before I continue eating.

"Ano 'yan?" I garble him again by asking what he's doing with the papers.

"Confidential," he simply answered. "Why did you make a lunch for me, anyway?"
