"Do you remember the guy who harassed me when we were in Maldives?" I asked Kean. Nasa loob kami ng sasakyan at hinihintay na mag- go iyong traffic lights.
"Andrei." he simply answered.
"You personally know him?" he sighed first before answering.
"Kapatid siya noong ex ko."
I didn't answer. Confirmed na kapatid nga iyon ni Gabrielle Andrea. Kean didn't know I already met his ex.
Mom sent me the case files regarding Andrei's case. Hindi lang pala isang babae ang biktima niya pero lahat iyon ay ibinabasura ng Korte dahil sa daddy niya.
I figured that meeting Indira about this will only be a waste of time since hindi siya maniniwala at iisipin lang niya na tampered ang mga ipakikita ko sa kanya so I decided to meet his brother later. 3rd year law student pala siya kaya matutulungan niya ako.
I really want to save Indira.
Hindi ulit kami sabay pumasok ni Kean sa loob. Nauna akong sumakay ng elevator bago siya. Hindi pwedeng malaman na magkarelasyon kami dahil isa iyon sa rules. Baka mapalipat sa ibang department ang isa sa amin.
"Kylie!" bati agad ni Cassey pagkapasok ko.
"Tara sa coffee shop, hindi pa ako nagbe- breakfast." pagyayaya ko sa kanya. Medyo nagulat siya kasi first time raw na ako ang nagyaya.
"Alam mo ba yung bagong intern?" she asked habang nasa loob kami ng elevator.
"Intern?"
"Ay off ka nga pala kahapon. Hay nako! nakaka- stress siya kaloka! Napaharot, nilandi na lahat ng lalaki sa office eh,"
"Really?" I asked. To be honest, I am afraid that she'll find Kean attractive. Knowing my insecurities, baka pag- awayan namin iyon kahit na wala naman siyang kasalanan.
"Oo! Tapos di ba may group photo tayo sa conference room, nako, tanong nang tanong tungkol kay Kean, napakapogi raw nun tsaka kung may jowa raw!"
I didn't answer. Nag- order na lang kami ng coffee tsaka dumaan doon sa tindahan ng burger. Pagkatapos ay bumalik na kami sa office.
"Ms. Alessandra, introduce yourself again. These four news producers don't know you since yesterday was their day- off."
Agad tumayo iyong intern. She was wearing a sleeveless and mini- skirt. I have nothing to say with regards to what she is wearing since women can wear whatever they want. I saw that Kean looked at the floor when Alessandra walked passed him.
"Good morning! I am Alessandra Sandoval, an intern assigned to the News Department of TVM Broadcasting Station. It is my pleasure to work with you. By the way, Mr. Kean Medina, are you single?" tanong niya at nagulat ako pati na rin ang news chief.
Kean didn't answer as he glanced at me.
"Why is the news chief not saying anything?" bulong ko kay Cassey.
"So ito, I asked Ivan to look into her kase hindi pinapansin iyong suot niya. I mean okay lang naman pero nasa work kasi at against iyan sa clothing rules ng station pero pinapayagan pa rin. And guess what? pamangkin pala siya ng CEO." bulong niya pabalik.
My mouth formed an 'o'. Kaya pala kahit ang news chief ay hindi siya sinasaway.
"Are you that amazed with my beauty Mr. Kean kaya hindi ka makasagot? Are you single?" Kean looked at me first. Umiwas ako ng tingin.
"No."
Napatingin sa kanya lahat ng nasa loob except me. I expected him to say that kasi syempre hindi naman niya ide- deny ang relationship namin. I bit the inside of my cheeks to prevent myself from smiling.
