Arthur arrived bringing the papers for the baby's birth certificate. And since he is already here, Elle can now go to the restaurant to monitor and back to her regular duties.
Sandro offered to drive her to the restaurant which she agreed.
"Ingat kayo langga ha? Wag na busangot mukha. Nakakawala ng poise. Magkita nalang tayo sa bahay mamaya." Cheska said.
"Hindi naman po tita." She hug and kiss her. "Sige po tita. Sainyo ko nalang po ipapadala yung bag ko. Diretso kasi ako ngayon sa resto. Tito Arth, we'll go na po." Elle said.
"Okay, no problem." It was Cheska.
"Alis po muna kami tita. Sir, Arthur? We'll go na po." Sandro.
"Sige Sandro, drive safely ha?" It's Cheska.
"Okay dears, take care. Thank you for visiting." Arthur.
They go out and walk towards the parking lot of the hospital, still having a dead air. When they arrived at the parking and get inside the car, Elle talk to Sandro before he could drive.
"Okay, explain. Who is she?"
"You mean Caroline?"
"Yes. Who is she...sa buhay mo?"
"Well, Cars is just a good friend love."
"Close kayo? Ang clingy eh..."
"Slight. Business partners kasi ng pinsan ni Mom ang Dad niya, si Sir Arguilles."
"Talaga? Kaya pala may pa hawak sa braso."
"Come on, love. Don't get angry na please. Ganon lang talaga siya."
"Hindi naman ako galit. It's just that I uhhmm...nevermind."
"Hindi ka galit pero ano yang mukha na yan, parang kakainin mo na ako."
"Kakainin? Ano ako, canibal? Magtigil ka Sandro ha!"
"Sorry. It's just a coincidence lang talaga kanina na nagkita kami. I actually didn't know na she's back from London na."
"Okay, let's go then. Hinihintay na ako ng mga staffs sa resto."
Sandro then drive her to the restaurant. Elle was just silent while on the road but Sandro's phone that continously recieving message notifications, bothered her
"I'm sorry..." Sandro said as he noticed that Elle's brows lifted while looking at his phone.
Elle look out at the windows and didn't make any reactions. She is thinking that maybe she crossed the line already. She became angry and judging Sandro without even knowing the whole story, it's a big slap of conscience to her.
After several minutes, they arrived at the restaurant. Before he could drop her off, Elle talk to him nicely and apologize.
"Sands, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way earlier."
"No. It's okay. I understand. Ang cute mo nga din palang magselos." Sandro giggled.
"Hmm, enjoy na enjoy ka naman. Eh kasi first time kong makita kang may kasamang ibang babae other than me. Kaya parang there's strange feeling din akong naramdaman bilang girlfriend mo no...."
"That's fine. I really understand. Nakakatuwa din naman seeing you jealous, for me to know na mahal mo pa din naman ako kahit ang busy na natin pareho."
"Sira! Sa selos talaga nakikita ang pagmamahal?"
"Hmm, in some other scenario, yes."
"Ang dami mong sinabi. I'm going na. Thanks for dropping me here."
"You're welcome love." Sandro kissed her cheek.
"I love you Sands."
"I love you too. I'll go ahead na."
Elle get out from the car and wave him bye. She look at his car going away before she finally get into the building.
When Sandro saw her inside the restaurant already, he stopped the car because it bothered him now. He knows that he messed up for lying Elle. He opened his messages and it was all coming from Caroline. She was inviting him for a dinner tonight.
He was so certain about what is Caroline's motive for coming back to the Philippines and meet him. To somehow ease the guilt, he then replied and say yes to the invitation. He thought that it is also his chance to tell her that he's already in a relationship now.
He went home first to change clothes and get ready for the dinner. He drive to Mandaluyong, based on the address that Caroline sent him.
Sandro entered the said restaurant. The venue is at the second floor of which a club is located. When he entered to the VIP room, he was shocked seeing his friends in there, together with Caroline. They are all sitting at the dinner table waiting for him.
