Today, I am attending a business meeting here in the province.
I am with my driver and 10 bodyguards. And of course, this lady beside me Scarleth Davis.
I hate it when she is with me. She is annoying like hell!
But I don’t have any choice. I need to get along with her
Scarleth Davis is my college sweetheart. Her father and my father are business partners. So, we've known each other since we were kids.
We broke up because she chose to study abroad than to stay with our relationship.
I am so in love with her back then but now, I see her as a friend.
But I don’t think Scarleth sees that because she really acts like my girlfriend again
I don’t like this set-up. She broke me and now she’s back
Roland, why don't we dine first. I am so hungry. Scarleth told me while her right hand touched my left leg.
I move her hand to her side.
I look to the driver.
What's the nearest restaurant, Max? I asked him.
He look to his navigator and after that he look at me and say
The nearest sir is Matutina-Gerry's Seafood and Grill.
Oh! Seafood ok, let’s dine there I know you’d like squid especially fried
Max looked at me in the mirror waiting for my signal
I nod my head signalling Max that we should stop there. I am feeling hungry too.
Scarleth drew closer to me and palce her head at my right shoulder
Damn this girl! I don’t like the idea she’s with me
After 10 minutes of driving, we arrived at the restaurant.
Max, parked the car and stop the engine.
My bodyguards in other car hop out the car and open my car door.
I glance at Scarleth to see her reaction to the restaurant.
Why? You don't like it here? I asked her
She look at me and draw a fake smile.
No, I like it honey. Let's go inside!
She turn her head and hop out the car and I follow her.
The 2 bodyguards stand at the entrance and the other escorted us to the entrance.
Scarleth linger her right hand to my left hand.
I did not protest because I know she will linger it again even if I will away her hand away.
My 2 bodyguards opened the door for us and I noticed that everyone inside the restaurant has eyes on us.
But I noticed this one girl that don't give a damn and continued eating.
I smirk. This girl is new ha! The way she eats her food it feels like she and her food that only exists in this world
I found myself smiling
This girl is funny
One of the waiters approach us
Good morning sir and ma’am. This way
The waiter led us to our table
Our table is located at the back of the girl who don't give a damn.
One of my bodyguards stay near at our table.
Good morning, sir/ma'am. This is the menu. The waiter told us and give us the menu.
I look at the menu and ordered
I look to the waiter and told him
Can I have one order of crabs, kare-kare, fried squid and for my drink uhmmmm..
I almost forgot I am with Scarleth. I look to her side and asked her
What do you want, Scarleth?
She looks at me and told me
One order of Caesar salad, please!
I hate it when girls eating grass! Is she a goat or a horse?
Ok your drink? I asked her
Uhhhmmm, lemonade honey.
I looked to the waiter and told him
Two lemonade.
Is that all sir/ma'am? The waiter asked us
I only nodded my head and he said ok and left.
I am tapping my right hand on the table and I look at that girl.
She is talking to her friend I guess.
She seems different.
She don't give a damn about everything that surrounds her.
She did not notice my presence.
I only experience that for the first time, never in my life girls won't give a glance.
When girls see me around they will giggle and stare at me but for her I got nothing.
I only realized that I am staring at her that long when she looks at her back and to my direction.
I didn't flinch.
I stared back at her.
When she realizes that I am staring at her, her eyes turned big and got shocked.
She turned her head as quickly as possible.
I smirked!
Scarleth called my name and I don't realize that our order was served.
Scarleth and I started eating.
While eating, the girl who don’t give a damn stands up
I can’t stop staring at her
I checked her out
Well at least the girl has nice body
I almost choke when she turns her head towards my direction
I immediately turn my eyes to my food
That’s embarrassing
I hope she didn’t fine I’m checking her out
Third POV
It's already 12 midnight, Issa can't sleep.
She is going left and right side of her bed.
She is getting frustrated about the thought of the gorgeous man in the restaurant.
After the incident, she can't stop thinking about that gorgeous man.
The pair of grey eyes staring at her.
Ughhhh! Issa silent-shout
What did that man do to me? Clear my head. Issa told to herself
If someone saw her acting like that, they will say she is crazy.
Issa get her pillow and throw it to her face and finally she is sent to her Dreamland......
Roland POV
After our lunch, we proceeded to the location of my meeting
Scarleth decided to wait in the car and I’m glad for that
While Mr. Sanchez is discussing the progress of our business, my mind kept thinking about that girl in the restaurant
I can’t absorb what Mr. Sanchez was discussing
Mr. Roland, what do you think?
He asked me
Mr. Roland?
He asked me again
I snapped my thoughts about the girl and looked directly to Mr. Sanchez
Oh, sorry. What are you saying again?
Mr. Sanchez looked confuse but did not ask anything
He told me again the details that I missed……..
Mr. Sanchez and I both stand up
We both shook our hands
Thank you Mr. Roland for coming to my place. It's an honor. I hope I can see your father soon.
I smiled to Mr. Sanchez
Sure! I hope you can visit us in Manila. Thank you, Mr. Sanchez.
Mr. Sanchez walked me to the front yard where my car was park
I hope Scarleth is ok there
I don't know how many hours my meeting is
Probably 3 hours
I said my goodbye to Mr. Sanchez and headed to my car
Scarleth is sleeping
I put her head on my shoulder
But my mind keeps coming back to that girl in the restaurant
