"Stop being so lame, Jadiana Syra Wainwright!"

Kuya Sage gritted his teeth.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not lame, Kuya!"

"Really? So, it's not lame to hire someone because he is good looking?"

Lalo pang uminit ang ulo ni Kuya.

I chuckled.

Kinilig ako nang maalala ko ang mukha ng lalaking nihire ko kahapon. It's his first day nga pala.

"He's not only good looking but hot also."

Kuya glared at me. "Stop messing up with me, Jade. Hindi ako natutuwa!"

"I'm not even joking for you to laugh, Kuya!" pang-aasar ko pa.

Mariin na siyang napapikit at hinilot na ang sintindo niya.

Okay! The tiger is fuming mad already.

"Jade, can you please take things seriously? Hindi ka na bata! Grow up!"

Pinagkrus ko ang mga braso ko. "Coming from you who still treated me like a child?"

"I'm just protecting you!"

"Blah blah blah!" I made face. "Iba 'yong pinoprotektahan sa pinapakialaman, Kuya. You're always messing up with my lovelife kaya laging nauudlot!"

He rolled her eyes. "Bahala ka!" iritadong sabi niya tsaka lumabas na ng office ko.

Finally!

Imbes na intindihin ko si Kuya ay nagretouch na lang ako ng make up ko.

"Perfect!" Ngumiti pa ako sa salamin.

I'm planning to visit the hotel restaurant with my own hidden agenda.

I'm the HR Director of Wainwright Group of Hotels. My Dad wants me to be the COO but I refused, not that I don't want to help him and my brother but because I'm not ready yet. I'm still young to hold a big responsibility, although Kuya is still young too for holding the position of CEO but me and my brother is totally different.

Halos mapunit pa ang labi ko nang maalala ang una naming pagkikita kahapon dito sa office ko.

Bored na bored na ako at gusto ko na umuwi kaya lang ay may kailangan pa akong interviewhin. Kuya wants me to do the job interview since Chef position ang inapplyan ng isang 'to and Kuya trusted it to me.

"Come on in," maawtoridad na sabi ko nang marinig na may kumatok.

"Good Afternoon, Ms. Wainwright! The candidate for Sous Chef position is already here."

I nodded. "Please let him in."

Sabi ko kay Alyssa, my secretary.

Napatayo ako nang makita kung sino ang iniluwa ng pinto.

With those jet black oval shaped eyes, thick brows, greek nose and thin pinkish lips.

I will never forget his perfect face.

Tall, moreno and super handsome.

"Keener Lewis Zamonte."

He chuckled. "Jadiana Syra Wainwright."

Parang gusto kong magtitili sa tuwa.

Damn it! He looks so gorgeous as ever!

Sumandal ako sa swivel chair ko. Hindi ko maalis ang mga mata ko sa napakagwapong mukha ni Keener.

"So are we not going to start yet?" He smirked.

I cleared my throat. "Let's start."

He smiled at me.

Ano ba, Keener Lewis!

Wag kang pangiti-ngiti jan at gusto kong sugurin ng halik ang labi mo!

"So, do you have a girlfriend?" derechong tanong ko.

He laughed and here I'am, mesmerized by his laugh.

Keener is a fucking Greek God! Damn!

I want him so bad!

"Is this a job interview or what?" natatawang tanong niya.

I pouted. "Just answer me!"

"What if I don't have? Tanggap na ba ako?"

I bite my lower lip and nodded.

"Are you serious?"

This time ay mas buo ang tawa niya.

"Ayaw mo ba? And besides natikman ko na ang luto mo noon. Hindi ko nga nakalimutan, e."

Nagkatitigan kami ni Keener at parehong natawa.

After 3 years, I'm still crazy over him!

Paalis na si Keener nang tawagin ko siya.

"Keener."

I'm smiling from ear to ear.

He smiled too. "Hmm?"

"We met again. So this time, maybe it's destiny?" malanding sabi ko.

"We'll see, Jade." He chuckled

I bite my lower lip.

It's destiny for sure, Keener Lewis Zamonte.
