Three boys loved me in three different ways; the first one who saw me as someone who can play fire with him, the second one, whose heart was pure, obey and respected me. And lastly, the one who saw me inside and out yet accepted me despite my flaws...

Wearing a floral surplice neck belted slip dress and my favorite flat sandals, completing my accessories with a simple satchel white bag I am ready to go with Simon that early morning. Nagkasundo kami ni Simon na roon siya mag-stay sa abroad kasama ko, kaya ang naiisip ko nalang ay sabihin kay Johannes na babalik ako matapos ko lang ang business ko rito sa Pilipinas.
Hindi naman siguro masama na malaman niya ang ginagawa ko rito at makilala kung sino ang kasama ko. Besides, my indefinite leave was legal with papers and agreed with his father.
Simon was in his corporate attire.
I've seen him before wearing one but now in his prime age, he looked dashing and matured. Even coated with fabrics, the muscles on his chest, shoulder, and thigh were impeccably noticeable.
Gaya ng madalas niyang gawin nasa likod ko ang kanyang kamay, iginagaya sa akin ang kanyang sasakyan. Huminto ako sa pag-aakalang nasa kaparehas na building lang si Johannes. Bakit kailangang sumakay pa?
He noticed my puzzled glare. "About Jo, he will participate in the meeting."
"Participate? May sarili siyang kompanya."
"I had a collaboration project with him somewhere in New Jersey."
My eyes widened. I've heard about that from Johnny. He didn't tell me about this. My design was already approved last month and he was just checking the site. I wasn't informed about a collaboration. All I know was that it was a huge project!
Panay ang sulyap sa akin ni Simon, habang ako'y tahimik na iniisip ang trabahong naiwan. Did I miss something here? I think there was but I can't remember what it was!
Nagtindigan ang balahibo ko ng matanaw sa hindi kalayuan ang building ng Double Dragon. The drastic design of it was like a literal dragon and the symbol flashing on the huge monitor screamed it was a time two bigger than Lazarde! It was a group of companies just like Vixie Empire, but I didn't know that it was this big in reality.
Sa palagian naming pagbisita noon dito, hindi ko matandaan na narito na ito noon pa. O baka nagkaroon ng renovation?
Now that we entered the Lobby, I think my choice of outfit was a mistake.
Sana pala ay nagdala ako ng coat para magmukhang corporate. Anyway, I don't remember I will join the meeting as if I am part of this company but the moment everyone greeted the man beside me, I regret joining him. Sana pala ay naghintay nalang ako sa kotse niya para makausap si Johannes o naghintay nalang ako sa isang café habang may meeting sila!
"Engineer Gerollana, this way," a woman on her corporate suit assisted us.
I tried to look for a restaurant or a place where I can wait for him but Simon kept on pushing me until we ride an elevator. I held my breath when a familiar sophisticated woman ride with us. Her eyes quickly scanned me, I tried to be friendly and smiled at her but she just ignored it and stood on my left side.
