NICHOLAS
"Hi. Nice to meet you."
"Hello. It was nice to see you again."
It was a bit funny. That small interaction of us brings back memories. And that was the first and last conversation of us after seeing each other again.
"That’s all?"
Jasmin asked violently and I nod my head.
"It was because somebody showed up. Luke she say."
"Oh, the best friend."
Said Jasper and Jasmin clapped her hands.
"He’s with us when we had lunch, those two were close."
"And no one tells me about this one?"
I look at Jasmin and she grinned.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What? Is it forbidden to look at you?"
“Ugh, leave me alone people.”
"Tch. I didn’t bother telling this to you coz you do not care about her. You won’t get jealous over that man."
"Glad you know."
Jasmin pouted. But then she mumbled something.
“Rosalyn was so pretty that night.”
"I will now go back to work since lunch was almost over."
I said ignoring her words because I might say something.
"You surely are working hard."
"You two should also go back on work."
"Yeah. I don’t want them to shout in front of my face again because I happen to be late for just one minute. I am sure that I will not forgot their name and faces.”
I just laugh at her and the moment I got from our office I already got another work.
"Mr. Jacobs now that you’re here please make a three copies of each document here and after that arranged it and put it on my table."
"All of this?"
"Yes, do it now!"
"Yes, Ma’am."
I sighed and immediately make copies of it. But in the middle of my work, I was surprise when I did see Rosalyn in front of me. What is she doing here?
"Oh! Hi."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, Mr. Monteverde, ahem, want you in his office."
"Oh, is this urgent?"
"I don’t think so. You can just finish that first, then I will go to Mr. Monteverde’s office to tell that you’ll be a bit late."
"Okay, thanks for informing me."
"Architect Deogracia, what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Alparo suddenly showed up and she then glared at me.
"I was just informing him to go into Mr. Monteverde’s office."
"I see, he will be there in a minute Architect."
"Okay, thanks."
"Ah. Miss Architect Deogracia, would you like a coffee or tea?"
She then followed Rosalyn and I can’t help but to laugh because she looks like an idiot trying hard to catch Rosalyn’s attention.
"No, I’m good."
"I heard that there will be a company dinner later, so I’ll just see you there."
If your invited.
"Yes, Ma’am."
"Nico- sorry. Mr. Jacobs."
"Yes, Miss?"
"I will see you later."
"Yes. I’ll be there."
"Okay then."
The moment Rosalyn left, the head of our department then look at me. She is sure trying hard to be scary.
"Go and follow her now, what are you a VIP?"
"Yes, Ma’am."
"When you are done inform me why did the president called you and make sure to go back here and finished your work."
"Yes…"
"Nicholas."
I look at Jean. She was frowning while looking at me, what’s her problem?
"Why?"
"Do you know… Architect Deogracia?"
"Of course, she was the daughter of the Ashton Deogracia the business partner of our company."
"No. Personally. She just called you Nico."
"Ah, that, I-"
"Mr. Jacobs double time! stop making Architect Deogracia and the CEO wait!"
"Yes."
I left Jean there and immediately get out of our office and I was a bit surprise when I saw her waiting outside.
"I thought you already left."
"I was waiting for you. Sorry, I wasn’t thinking right, I guess your girlfriend might get angry."
Rosalyn then look inside and started to walked.
"Who is this girlfriend you were talking about?"
"The girl wearing pink shirt."
After that the elevator opens and I laugh while we get inside.
“What’s funny?”
"She’s just a co-worker."
"No, girlfriend then?"
"Yeah."
"As if you’ll remained single for almost five years."
She look at me smiled before pressing the floor number.
"Why not? I’m focused on my study and now on work. Maybe it was you who’s been in a relationship."
"Excuse me. I’m single."
"Then Luke?"
"My friend. He is a close friend of mine, that’s all."
I just nod my head and after that we remained silent until we’ve reach the top floor. I just followed her until we get inside Uncle’s office. Jasper was there together with Rosalyn’s brother. I was a bit embarrassed when I realized that he was Rosalyn’s brother, since he is the one I thought that was Rosalyn’s crush.
"Good Afternoon."
I said, greeting everyone. Uncle then look at me.
"Oh, glad that you came." 
Then she look at Rosalyn and sighed.
“But Jasmin isn't. I’m sorry for that, Rosalyn.”
Haa, Jasmin must refused to be here. I really can’t read that girl’s mind. She was admiring here then later on she don’t want to see her.
"No, it’s fine Uncle. Let’s now continue the meeting."
"Yes. Nicholas sit down."
They talked so many things and they asked for our opinion, later on they said that there will be company dinner so, Rosalyn and Axel must attend.
"I would like to join but I still have to pick up my girlfriend. Elris will represent the company on our behalf."
"Yes, let’s just meet again next week."
Axel then nod.
"Thank you, Mr. Monteverde.”
"Thank you, too. Mr. Deogracia and Architect Deogracia.”
Rosalyn nod and said her thanks too.
“We would like to excuse ourselves now.”
“Yes, good bye.”
“I’ll see you at the dinner later.”
I then nod at Uncle and beside me was Jasper. We were silently following Rosalyn and her brother.
“Elris call our driver after dinner."
"I’ll just call Luke. He can drive me home."
"Stop bothering him, that kid is already tired. Let him breathe."
"What? He is my personal driver."
"Just do whatever you want, but make sure to text me and father before you left the venue."
"Of course. I'll do inform you on my whereabouts." 
Then Axel suddenly look at us.
"Please look for my sister for a while."
"Yes, please be rest assured."
Said Jasper and smiled and I just agree to it.
"You have such a nice friends. Mary’s circle was no good at all."
"They were nice, so don’t judged my friends. You just don’t like them coz you don’t do parties."
A what? Maybe I heard it wrong.
"Don’t be shock if you see too much changes in Elris. She’s still the same but the fact that she became addict at partying was pretty shocking."
Then Rosalyn’s brother shakes his head.
"We are just talking about calling our driver a while ago and now we head to this topic. You’re embarrassing me in front of them!"
Axel just shrug his shoulders and when we got into the first floor we then followed them to the parking lot. Axel left and Rosalyn told us that she’ll stay in the café nearby since she will finish some sort of report.
"Where do you usually hangout?"
I asked out of the blue and Rosalyn look at me. Her face turned red and her mouth was tightly close. She just shake her head and cover her face.
"I will see you at the dinner later. Bye!"
Then I watch Rosalyn as she ran while wearing those high heels. What if she suddenly tripped?
"Take care. Just walk and don't run!"
I shouted and instead of slowing down her speed increased until I can’t see her anymore.
I was still a bit shock after I heard that information. And the moment she avoid that, means it was true. Is she always on the bar? Did she dance with some random guy? Ugh, Just thinking of it makes my head hurt.
