CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
Babe

I couldn't dare look into his eyes, and he didn't even spare me a glance again.

"Come on, Hayden, introduce yourself."

Nahihiya at kinakabahan akong tumingin sa kanya, nakikita ko kung paano tumingin si Klara sa amin ni Hayden. "I think kilala na naman siguro nila ang isa't isa, Tita."

Cosmos Prime Corporation... si Hayes pala ang may-ari 'nun?!

What was Klara aka his secretary doing at our company? Does Tita know Hayes?!

"Is that so? Saan ba kayo nagkakilala? Akala ko pa naman hindi kayo magkakilala."

Ako sana ang sasagot kaso inunahan na ako ni Hayes, "We go to the same university before."

Mrs. Salazar nodded at Hayes' response, "Same university lang pala kayo, so magkakilala nga kayo?"

"Yes." Hayes and I said in unison, kaya naman napatingin ako sa kanya habang ang titig niya'y na kay Mrs. Salazar. I thought he'd say otherwise, but he didn't.

"No need of introduction na pala!"

"Don't you want to introduce me, babe?" My right hand flew to my chest when a voice startled me from behind.

"Carter!"

Nakita ko nang tumingin si Hayes at ang iba sa kay Carter, may dala-dalang dalawang red wine, sabay bigay sa akin.

"And who is this handsome gentleman with you?"

Hayes' eyes lowered down, focused on Carter's right hand on my waist. "Carter Aguilar, pleasure to meet you..."

Dahan-dahan kong kinalas ang kamay ni Carter sa gilid ko, pero ayaw niyang bumitaw at mas hinihigpitan lamang ang hawak.

Carter shook Klara and Mrs. Salazar hands, pero hindi siya nakipag-shake hands kay Hayes, tumango lamang siya sa kanya sabay sabing, "Hayes, I mean Hayden."

"Carter." Hayes dryly replied.
