11:55 A.M."Magandang araw ma'am! Sir! Nandito na pala kayo."
"Hi manang Linda."
Sumunod lang si Sander kay Diane, dala niya ang kanyang mga gamit pati na rin sa kanyang boss.
"Thanks, Alex." Sabi ni Diane nang nasa pinto na sila. "Pasok ka muna."
Tahimik lang sila buong biyahe at ngayon lang sila nagkausap ulit kahit magkasama naman sila the whole time. Since the incident last night, madalang na silang nagkaroon ng conversation. Siguro hindi naman kailangan nilang pag-usapan pa ang nangyari kagabi. Tumango lang si Sander at pumasok na sila sa loob.
"Diane! Kumusta?"
Agad siyang sinalubong ni Regina ng mahigpit na yakap pagdating nila sa living room.
"OA naman."
"Ito naman, na-miss ko lang ang dragon boss ng Martinez." Biro pa ni Regina, making Diane frown at her remarks.
First time makapasok ni Sander sa bahay ng amo niya. Mansion. Natigilan siya sa pagmamasid-masid niya sa paligid nang tinawag ni Regina ang kanyang atensyon.
"Grabe si bagets oh, nakapag-VIP suite pa sa Nicolas. Nainggit sayo lahat ng trabahante ng Martinez. Kumusta doon?"
"Alam mo Regina kararating lang namin tapos may pa-interview ka na. Wala ka bang ibang isasalubong sa amin?" Bored na tanong ni Diane.
"Ah oo nga pala nandito nga pala sina-"
"Hey babe!" That familiar French accent.
"Claude?" Hindi niya alam kung bakit nagulat siyang makita ang kanyang boyfriend. Oo nga pala may boyfriend siya. Not surprised in a good way. Plainly gulat lang. But before she could say further words, nilapitan na agad siya ni Claude at hinalikan sa labi habang niyayakap rin ng mahigpit.
Sander awkwardly stands behind Diane and tries to look somewhere else.
"Well, I guess my part is done here." Says Regina. "Pupuntahan ko nalang si René sa dining table. Come on, Castante, let's have lunch altogether." Pagyaya ni Regina saka umalis na.
After a not-so-appropriate-long-kiss, Claude asks Diane, who was still unable to process what just happened. "Are you hungry, Diane?"
"For food, yes." Plain niyang sagot.
"What's that dude doing here?" Claude asks Diane like Sander wasn't there at all, as usual.
"To help me with my stuffs."
"Uhm.." Sander clears his throat. "Aalis na po, ako. Kita nalang tayo sa office bu-"
"Kumain muna tayo." Diane cuts him off, but not looking directly at him.
"Wag na Miss D, sa labas nalang ako kaka-"
"Hindi mo ba ako narinig?"
"Hey look.." Claude tries to interfere. "I don't understand what you guys are talking about, but babe, if he wants to go, then let him. I don't see the point of him staying here."
Diane sighs and practically rolls her eyes. "Come on, let's just eat. I'm starving."

"Hahahahaha! And you know what melts my heart even more? René here is taking English lessons so he could express his love for me in words aside from I love you."
