Los Solteros 1: Irresistible Sensation

Chapter Nine

"ANO ang mapaglilingkod ko sa inyo, Mahal na Prinsipe?" Tanong ko sa binata pagkapasok ko palang ng kotse nito na nakaparada sa tapat mismo ng main entrance ng unibersidad na pinapasukan ko.

The car revved up and it moved when he gave a nod to his driver. I scoffed from what's happening.

"Uy, bakit umaandar ang kotse?" Medyo natataranra ko nang tanong rito.

I have two more freakin' classes!

"Kasi may gasolina?" Pilosopong tugon nito sa akin na kinabusangot ko.

"Tanga, Diesel. Anong gasolina?" I interjected. "Hindi pa tapos ang klase ko, Monterverde! Kapag ako na-late!"

"Just don't attend or finish your classes, Serena. I need your help." He seriously replied while still looking outside of his window.

Medyo natigilan ako sa paraan ng pagsagot sa akin ng binata. It seems like he just cracked a joke to lighten up the mood or patched it with his true mood.

Ano kayang nangyari? Bago naman ako umalis kanina sa opisina niya ay nakita ko pa itong okay naman. What I meant would be he's serious in terms of his work. Halos hindi na nga lumalabas para mag-lunch man lang. He's busy having meeting with his marketing team for their proposal to the International export group. Kung seryoso siya sa mga ganoong pagkakataon, nakakapagtaka lang na tila mas may iseseryoso pa pala ito.

"What kind of help?" I asked instead while still looking at him. I waited for him to answer, rejecting the fact that he would look at me but it never happened.

I supposed that he didn't hear what I have just asked. I pursed my lips then I just looked away as well.

If it's something about business, I can help. Pero if tungkol sa sarili nitong lovelife ay aba, wala akong matutulong sa kanya. I know he's still on the transition of being single again from being taken away with her ex-girlfriend— Yvonne.

"My sister..." napagawi bigla ang aking tingin sa binata. "... she's in the office."

Iyon lamang ang sinabi nito na waring may gustong ipahiwatig. Hindi ko malamang kung ano'ng trip niya but I remained silent.

"Your sister? Who?"

"Adrianna." He replied.

Hindi ko napansin na nanlaki ang aking mata sa narinig. "Adrianna? As in The Adrianna Monteverde-Smith?!" Hindi ko napigilan ang hindi mapataas ang boses sa excitement.

"Seems like you idolize her." He therefore concluded the sudden jolt of enthusiasm from me.

"Who wouldn't!" I retorted back as if he's not proud with her sister.

Her sister is a well-known idol in the Fashion Industry. Siya kaya ang tinitingala kong modelo in the fashion world at sino rin ang hindi matutuwa? A Filipina who has been a permanent model in a well-known fashion magazine and famous botique based in America. Kahit na lumipas na ang mga taon, her timeless beauty brought her stardom on its peak even until now.

And she would be having a chance to finally meet her, like oh my god!

"Me." Troy replied that caused me to stop from imagining things how would I greet her without showing my fangirl side.

Troy's face is screaming disgust and hatred.

"Why?" I couldn't help myself but to ask. Hindi sa pagiging tsismosa ano? I just want to know the depth of his stone-cold reaction towards her sister.

"To summarize? She's a monster. Don't ask more."

Naumid ang dila ko sa sinagot nito. Hindi ko alam kung sinisiraan niya ba ang kapatid nito pero his reaction and current mood states otherwise.
