Chapter 91

Jeisen Jee POV

Gareth deserve someone better.

Hindi kagaya ko na maraming issues.

Napatingin si Amil kay Gareth saglit.

"Tss. If only he knows how lucky he is to have Gift. The brainiac Attorney Gift and the country's Philippine Am---"

"Oh! I'm really sorry, Attorney Amil. Medyo natagalan ako. I was with Attorney Debbie Labajo. May papeles lang akong inabot and we were also talking about Attorney Gift. Ah..."

Tumigil ito sa pagsasalita ng mapansin kami. May tinitingnan kasi 'to sa bag niya.

"My bad," napatutup ito sa labi niya.

"No, it's okey Attorney," salita ni Amil. Tumayo ito at may binulong sa kanya.

Nanlalaking mata itong napapatingin sa 'kin. Tumango-tango at lunok pa.

"I-I didn't know," sabi niya at inabot agad ang kamay sa 'kin. Tumayo ako at tinanggap ito. "I'm sorry, pañera. I really don't know that it's you. Ito pala ang sinasabi sa 'kin ni Amil. God law! You are real. Ang bata mo pa pala. I was thinking you were like our age. But nevermind about that. Haha! Age is just a number. Right? And you are with..."

"I'm Gareth Liu Fortel, attorney ," seryosong pakilala ni Gareth dito at nakipagkamay. "I heard our company and family lawyer's name. I'm the acting VP of the Fortel Group of Companies. I'm sure you are familiar with El Grande Mall and El Grande chain of Hotels. I'm with her. My Jeisen."

Psh! Kung makipagkilala akala mo nasa business meeting ito. Ang pormal.

"God law! Of course I know you, Mr. Fortel," sabi niya at ngumiti sa 'min. "Nagtaka lang ako. But, oh ok. I got it. Shocks! Power couple! Genius genes."

"Ah, hello?" agaw atensyon sa 'min ni Eanela. "Pwede naman kayong umupo. I'll just call the waiter for your order, Attorney Bernal. Ano pong gusto niyo?"

"I'm not yet hungry, dear Eanela," sagot nito at umupo na kami. "Coffee well do."

Inusog uli ako ni Gareth sa tabi niya.

"Jeisen," bulong niya. "Kanina ko pa naririnig 'yang pañera. You are not even a lawyer to be called as that. Aish! Studyante ka palang. And who's Gift? Attorney Gift that they are talking?"

Nagkibit balikat ako.

If only I can tell you about me, Gareth.

"Ah, Attorney Gift," salita ni Atty. Bernal.

Mariin akong napapikit.

Basta 'pag mga lawyers na ang kasama mo. Ang dadaldal. Kagaya nitong dalawa.

Ang dami ko rin kasing lihim.

"As a was saying, Attorney Bernal," si Amil na ang nagsalita. "We can trust Gift for this case. You know she's the mighty person that we can front to Attorney Zarte. We can use her expertise from Criminal to Civil Law. Ako, limited lang focus ko. And just for a fair trade, pañera. May ipapakiusap din siya sa 'yo."

Nagtatakang tiningnan naman ako ni Attorney Bernal. Hindi pa pala lahat ng nasa Law Firm namin ang nasabihan nito.

I know Christineangela will not just give way her case to some random lawyers.

We are talking about legal matters and not a simple game that needs substitution just because you are tired playing it.

It's an insult to her profession.
