For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are tho...

CHAPTER 3: ADJOURNED
LUNA'S POV
Sinipat ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. I'm wearing a dark ensemble of business attire. Instead of a skirt, I opted for slacks. I often wear colors but when I have an important meeting, I always wear black. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon din ay sinisiguro ko na malinis ang pagkaka-bun ng buhok ko. And also darker make-up.
"Wala ka ng magagawa sa baby face mo." Nilingon ko si Alex na komportableng nakahiga sa sofa na nandito sa loob ng opisina ko. "You still look like you're twenty-five, which is not surprising since when you were twenty-five, you looked like a high school student."
I rolled my eyes, but I didn't say anything. He's not wrong, though. Ang sabi ng mga kapatid ko ay ganoon din daw ang nanay namin. And since I look exactly like her except I'm a few inches taller than her, it wasn't surprising that I also inherited her vampire-like ability.
"Most women would love to be in your place." Inilagay niya ang kamay niya sa dibdib niya. "Kahit ang babaeng puso ko gusto kang kurutin."
"It's not that I'm not thankful for my youthful look." I straightened my blazer. "I just hate how some people don't take me seriously because I look young."
"You are young."
I scoffed. "Yeah right."
"Most twenty-five-year-olds still don't know what to do with their lives. Some are in their thirties, and yet they are just starting to make something for themselves. You just turned thirty-one, and you have what? A company that you solely own and a name that is even recognized internationally."
"I'm recognized internationally because I have a lot of enemies there."
"People who deserve to be criticized, and you did that with the finesse that only Luna Alondra Dawson-Aquillan can, and the world loves you for it."
Nangingiting humarap ako sa kaniya. "Thanks for the pep talk." Sumaludo lang siya bilang sagot. "Ikaw ready na ba?"
Nalukot ang ilong niya. "Pwede bang hindi sumama?"
"You're the chief operating officer. What do you think?"
He knows the answer, which is why he could only just sigh. Tinignan niya ang mga kuko niya na kulay pink. The way he dresses and carries himself, no one would have thought that he's batting for a different team. Idagdag pa na mukha talaga siyang football player dahil malaki siyang tao. Minsan ko na siyang makasama na mag-swimming at isa lang ang masasabi ko; his body would be perfect for a book cover.
"I should have taken this off," he mumbled more to himself than to me.
"Why?" Sinipat ko ang naka-gel polish niya na mga kuko. "They look pretty."
