"Synthia, did you give our proposal to Fortunato's Food Company?" I asked my secretary
"Yes ma'am, but they haven't accepted it yet because they want you to give it yourself" I immediately frowned
"What? You mean I'm going to their company to give the contract?"
"Yes ma'am, but maybe the owner isn't there. He's staying in their province"
Maybe my suspicion isn't correct, right? Province ?, I also heard that Fortunato is the last name of the owner, there are many surname like that in the world. That's right, I may have thought that, but I still have a hunch that he is.
"What's the name of their province?" I ask, pretending what I'm thinking isn't true.
"Malvia ma'am" I just sighed and looked at my desk "Jayz Solomon Fortunato is the C.E.O of Fortunato's Food of Companies" suddenly my heart beat fast.
What is this? am I nervous?
'No! It can't be! '
I asked my secretary to go out and called Dad immediately.
"Hello? Dad, is there another choice for me to be Chairman?"
["Sweetie, that's really your only hope. We need their Company for our malls especially since their products are popular"]
"But, you know, don't you?"
["Forget about the past sweetie, be mature enough and be Professional. I thought you moved on hija?"] I heard his laughs on the other line
"Yes I am!, I will also go to Malvia tomorrow"
["Okay, goodbye love you"]
"Bye dad love you too, wish me luck I think?" he still giggles before dropping the call
'Am I going there? again. '
I picked up the phone on the side of my desk and called Synthia. She entered immediately.
"Clear my schedules for 2 weeks"
"2 weeks? That long ma'am?" I looked at her
"I also want to visit my Grandmother, don't expect anything. Don't assume that he's the only one I'm going to! What? He's just a pal-"
"Who is he ma'am? And I didn't even ask" She just gave me an awkward smile
‘You just ask so! and isn't it obvious "he"? '
"Nevermind, my flight is tomorrow. I'm going to take off to get things ready"
"Will you take your car ma'am? Or you will commute in a bus"
"Car, but I need two drivers. It's still 8 hours to get there"
"Okay ma'am noted!" She give me a goodbye smile and left
I immediately went home to my condo. i don't live with my father. I want to be as independent unlike before. I immediately went to my room and went into the walk in closet and chose clothes shoes, sandals, heels. I don't know but I brought heels but maybe I can use them. I also brought my skincare toothbrush, mouthwash and toothpaste. I will take two suitcases.
Then, I immediately just took a shower and did my night routines and slept because I going to be early tomorrow.
I woke up at three in the morning to get ready. we leave at four o'clock.I felt nervous ofcourse! It was ages ago when the last time I had been there. I wonder if much has changed there?
I only wore high waisted jeans and a beige crop top sweater. When I got in my Fortuner car I immediately fell asleep. I just woke up for breakfast with my drivers and went back to sleep.
"Here we are ma'am" I immediately opened my eyes and took off my sunglasses. I can feel the sunrays hitting my face.
"What an expensive car"
"Yeah, is that ma'am Veronica's granddaughter?"
I step out of my car. Many people look at me. I just looked around there are a lot of improvements in Malvia but there are still places where you can easily see other beautiful places
I looked at Grandma’s Modernize Ancestral House. its really big, I immediately entered the gate and gave a sign to my drivers to follow me.
My grandma's house style is a two storey ancestral that was combine with modern two storey house. I entered her large front door and I immediately saw grandma sitting on the sofa and I immediately went to her and hugged her tightly.
"Hi grandma! I miss you so much" I kiss her cheek
"Eshan, you are now a completely woman! Do you already have a boyfriend?" she gave me a teasing smile
"Your joke is ugly grandma! "
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
We went to grandma's dining area to eat lunch because we are kinda hungry for lunch.
I made the drivers sit down to eat as well. Grandma prepared a lot,, tinolang bangus, lechong manok and adobo. Plates and utensils are also prepared and it was ready to use.
"This is too much grandma!"
"I know, because I know you're hungry"
"Ahh okay, thank you I appreciate your effort!" I gave her a kiss in a cheek
We also started eating and grandma and I also talked about whats going on my life recently.. She really can't leave this house of her. Lola and Lolo created wonderful memories in here. It's a pity I never caught up with Grandpa in this world. After we ate I decided to rest first and go to my room.
I remember a lot here ah?
I woke up around four in the afternoon. I decided to take a walk here first. The place here is not new to me. I just took a shower and wore a black crop top and denim shorts. I just paired it with white sneakers. I just applied lip and cheek tint and left my hair loose.
I went down to my room and informed my grandmother that I'll just tour around and took my polaroid to take pictures. I just took a tricycle to Malvia Plaza
When I got there I was already taking pictures around. I decided to go to a convenience store first and buy a biscuit and water.
I sat on a bench in the plaza and ate while looking at the people.
"Hey sexy girl! " someone pointed at me. GHe doesn't look scary like that but creepy rather. He went infront of me.
"Hi Miss !What's your name? "his friends in the back laughed
"Sorry, but I don't talk to strangers" I said and walked away
"She's rude bro" they laughed and I looked at them and was shocked by the voice he released.
"What?" he smiled and I felt scared. he gripped my wrist tightly
"Let go of me you little trash!" I actually withdrew my hand but there's no effect. His friends even laughed
"Because you're naughty Miss, you should just keep up" he was still laughing and holding my hand, I felt like my tears were dripping
"Let him go Lester" I heard some familiar voice that I didn't hear for years
Lester immediately looked behind me
"Don't even bother here Jayz!" said his friend
"Let him go or will you regret?" Lester immediately released my hand
"You have a day with me too!" They immediately ran
'Cowards!'
I immediately looked behind me
"T-thank you"
"Forget it, go home and maybe something else will happen to you" he avoided looking at me
"Yes, goodbye thank you" I walked to wait for the tricycle
“Why are you leaving alone? I came here to fetch you"he frowned
"Huh?" What? Will he deliver me home? Why? I can do it alone!
"Don't ask anything. There are lots of playboys here so please be careful." He looked directly in my eyes.
My hearts is racing again. That was exactly how I felt ages ago! Why do I still have this feelings? Am I not yet still move on?
I don't know what to say so he uttered a word "Have you eaten yet?"
I can't believe after all what happens earlier, He still ask that nonsense question. I smiled and shake my head.While I was smiling, he was till looking at me seriously. I can see that his body is more mature than ever.
His face got mature but it fits him and he looked more handsome. He got tan too unlike before but it really suit him..
"Let's eat before I send you home"
I can feel his hand taking mine. Why is this happening again? I want to move on but I think I can't because of his presence.
Is there a possibility that I'm still inlove with him?
