"Nick, eto na yung bibilhin---" Riley stopped on what she's saying when she saw the guys infront of us. "Uy, Kuya Sander! What's up?"

"I thought you're preparing for your internship?" Viv asked him.


I slowly nodded, that's what I know as well. Kuya Sander is currently in his 4th year, business ad ang course nya, ang alam ko ay naghahanap na sila ng company kung saan nila kukumpletuhin ang internship nila, so why is he here? Naglalakwatsa lang ata tong mokong na to.


"Sup Riley, Viv?" He greeted them while giving them a slight nod. "Actually I still can't choose a company, but I'm glad that Nico here suggested that we can spend our internship together sa family business na lang nila, hindi pa hassle. Astig diba?" He looked proud.


I turn my gaze at the guy beside Kuya, he's still wearing his serious expression while looking at Nick, who's by the way avoiding his gaze. He didn't seem to be bothered by what's happening right now. I studied his face and I'm completely mesmerized again, like the day when I first saw Nicholas Andrada.


They're like a photocopy of each other. The only difference is their expressions, ang cold ng aura ng Kuya nya, mas defined and matured din ang features while Nick on the other hand has soft facial features, with just one look, you can already tell that Nick is the younger one.


"Uh, hello po. I'm Riley." She introduced herself, awkwardly.

"Vivien Sartori, nice to meet you po."

"I-I'm Serena Verol." I plastered a smile on my face even though my lips were trembling.

"Prince Nicholai Andrada." He formally introduced himself and he bowed slightly.

"You guys knew each other?" Kuya shifted his gaze to Nick. "What a small world. I'm Sander, Serena's older brother."


He approached Nick who's still shocked because of what's happening. Kuya offered his hand for a handshake which Nick took shyly. He smiled a little though.


"N-Nicholas Andrada, Nick will do."

"I didn't know that you're working here as a part timer, you guys are damn rich."

"Uhm, about that..." Nick can't find the right words.

"Oy Nico, isn't it cool? Magkakilala na pala mga utol natin." Kuya Sander turned at Nick's brother then laughed. "Nico and I were blockmates, it's now our 4th year as business administration students."


I saw Riley and Viv's eyes widened in surprise, they stared at Kuya Nico for a while, maybe they finally recognized their family resemblance. Same girls, same.


Kuya Nico nodded with a small smile on his face, lumapit sya sa'kin ng kaunti. He studied my face for a while which made me nervous and conscious. Why is he staring at me like that? Ugh.


"Nico," He offered his hand too, I took it quickly. "So you're the great Serena that my brother keeps on blabbing about."


My lips parted, I can't seem to find my tongue. I glanced at Nick but he avoided my gaze. I don't know what to say, is that a good thing that Nick was telling his brother about me? I feel conscious all of a sudden, I'm worried about his first impression on me, what if kung ano-anong kabulastugan ang sinabi ni Nick sa kanya about me? What if he doesn't like me?


"N-Nice to meet you po." I bowed.

He chuckled a bit, "Drop the formalities, just think of me as your older brother."
