Chapter 27

I really can't wait to see you later. I love you so much, Ney ❤️

Napailing ng ulo si Karylle. He prepared so much. Siguro hindi natulog yun. She finds it very cute as well kasi kung makasabi siya ng "prepare" akala mo naman kung anong niluto niya. He only cooked spam and what seemed to be a very dry and overcooked scrambled egg but nonetheless she knew this was purely effort from him since hindi naman talaga siya nagluluto.

And she hope the kids would appreciate his efforts as well, just for them to forgive him. Di pa rin kasi pinapansin ng anim si Vice. Kahit yung mga girls ay iniiwasan pa rin siya at lalo naman sila Daniel. Medyo may tampo pa nga sila sa Ate nila nang malaman nilang nakipagbalikan agad siya kay Vice, but since they can see how happy Karylle actually is ay hinahayaan na lang nila. But with Vice, they are still distant.

From: My Queen
Did you even sleep last night?

She texted him.

From: My Pogi
I was with you last night. You should know;)

He replied quick.

From: My Queen
Flirt! Did you even sleep at all? It's your first day in office, baka inaantok ka diyan! Hmp.

From: My Pogi
Kasalanan mo! Masiyado akong in love sa'yo! 😘😍❤️ I have to go, Ney. Vhong is eyeing me! Malapit na akong mapuno dito sa payatot na to. 😡 I love you!

Natawa si Karylle sa reply ni Vice. Her grumpy Vice. It was his first day as a full-time CEO in his dad's company, buti na lang at sila ang may ari ng malalaking mall chains sa buong bansa kaya kahit humina man ang marketing strategy nila matapos ang nangyari sa Daddy niya, hindi pa rin naapektuhan ang sales ng kumpanya. The only problem Vice has to face ay kung saan at paano mababawi ang mga nagpull-out ng shares sa company nila.

Bago lumabas ng pintuan si Karylle ay may nakita nanaman siyang isa pang bulaklak at may note ulit itong kasama, this time it also came with a car key in it.

Who told you to ride a cab by yourself?

Bungad ng note ni Vice, at natawa si Karylle because she really planned to ride a cab kasi hindi naman niya dala ang kotse niya. Yung kotse niyang nabubulok na.

I have a car sa basement, use that. Wag kang makulit. Ask manong guard to help you find it, he knows. ;)

See you later, mon amour! I love you, Ney❤️

She need not to ask the guard downstairs, pagkita pa lang sa kaniya ay tinulungan na agad siya papunta sa basement. After a few steps out ay binuksan ng guard ang isa sa mga personal garage ng mga VIP tenants. When it opened ay nanlaki ang mga mata ni Karylle.

This was the mini cooper she was talking about the other day, the red 2016 hardtop, two-door model that she has been researching for the past months and is actually planning to buy, tinutulungan na nga siya ni Billy to look through it. She just can't believe that it is right in front of her.

Although still shocked, nakita niya pa rin ang isang stem ng bulaklak at note na nakaipit sa windshield nito.

Surprise!
