cHAPTER 2

1st Person's POV

2 days had passed and I still couldn't move on from the call on Irah's birthday. The party ended smoothly and I gave him my gift. he knew I answered the call and he called the man again, and while they were calling he was laughing at me. Apparently the man was telling her something about me and they seemed to be laughing at me while I was just sucking on him.

after a day I am now here and will check up with my bestfriend Renee Suarez.

"Do I really have to try all the tests? Also the Pregnancy test?" I complain to him.

"Natural! You can't get pregnant when you're pregnant." Did I heard redanduncy on that?

"Obviously! I won't go into this if I'm pregnant. That's right! People are oh-oh,"

"That is what you call safety first Z, don't be ignorant," I just rolled my eyes at her. Tss.

Renee Suarez is my 'since highschool' bestfriend. He was a witness to all my suffering. how I got into desperation to get in here and how indebted I was to those demuhong chinese couples. And I am so grateful and happy for having her in my life even though we talk like this, and I know she is like that too.

"Oh my gosh !if that really turns out to be positive I will follow you to your parents! ”She warns, still pointing.

"Your O.A., even if it's negative, I'll still get pregnant in the end if I'm approved,"

"Who says I'll let you ?I can cheat, just for your honor, "He said as I kept quiet. He was right and there was still a part of me that wanted to drop everything I passed and let him cheat on everyone. Because I was scared.

It took us almost 3 hours to test what I had and I was able to stop even though I could not pay the patient's fee. I didn't even ask because maybe it was done by the company.

"Do you know who the breeder is?" i suddenly ask as we eat at a fast food chain.

"What breeder?" He asked with a frown, as if I had grown pimples.

"Y-what .. I don't know what to call him but what .. who is Daddy ?then you also mentioned to me that you seem to be the owner of one of the big companies. "

"Ahh, I thought so. Didn't I, I said I don't know? Over and over? And I just suspected that because it was directed at the big boss of our company. We rarely see our female bossing, do we?" Renee and I used to be together with the company she says, that's why I resigned because of the incident that happened last week. It's because our Head executive has a lot of people and something has happened so I don't want to. But I found a new job with another company. and that is, in the afternoon is waitress, in the morning is in the office.

"Isn't that gay?" my eyes narrowed in question.

"Hmmn, maybe? But I've heard rumors that it's 'filthy rich and hot', but isn't it? It's weird then."

"So that's it. Maybe he's handsome, but there's something hidden.That's how it always is, isn't it? "

"So what, are you going to continue? You're going to get pregnant gay?" He says laughing.

"Ui, don't. Maybe he'll be my gay bestfriend if I happen to be the mother of his child hahaha!" I laughed in response.

at two o'clock I went home to get ready for my duty at the Restaurant. As usual there are a lot of people on the weekends and even before dinner the Resto is full.

"Corvado," I heard the manager call me when the crowd was getting a little crowded because it was about seven o'clock.

"Yes please?"

"Set a table for four person at the V.I.P room. We have guests." She smiled in response.

"Noted. But, would you mind if I asked who?" I was hesitant to respond.

"The Ruego's." I had a short goosebumps hearing that family name. Of course I heard of them. They own the biggest Villa in Pasay. they own hotels too, if I know. "I actually didn't expect it. It's their first time here, so be ready. Bigtime is our customer now."

exactly 7 pm when I finished arranging the room at V.I.P and when I passed the front door of the Resto I met Irah entering as if looking for someone and when she saw me her smile widened and she greeted me.

"Ate Z! Oh my, I knew it..This is where you work, do you know how hard it is to find your Resto? "

"Ah, haha. You're still really busy looking for where I t-work." After I said that, I only noticed his two other female companions. they were like Charlie's Angels because they were three beautiful to enter. One was just my age and I noticed her eyebrow rising as I watched. It looks like a model wearing a black backless dress and it is tall. the other looks to be in the mid 50’s and has no visible wrinkles on the face. And here I am now in front of them shrinking and looking like a scourge.

"Good evening ma'am," I greeted the two, who only answered me with a small smile. I would have asked Irah when our manager came in.

"Good evening ladies! Welcome to The Golden Resto. Your private room for dinner has been set. And all you have to do is just take your order, but before that please follow me po. Dito po tayo." singit ng manager namin together with the other two staffs. Astonished I looked at Irah, giving me a knowing smile. Is he a Ruego? How the hell didn't I even know that ?! My room mate is a Ruego and I didn't have a slightest clue about it! because his last name is different and he also didn't tell the story of his life. Yes and we are pretty close but the only thing he tells me is what is happening to him at his school.

They passed in front of me while I was still staring at their backs. I was just surprised there, because of Irah.

"Ruegos?" I looked up and saw Klein standing next to me and also watching the Ruegos walk away. "Did you close the boy?" Only then did he look down and meet my gaze.

"My room mate is him in the apartment,"

“Wow,” He cooly implied. "Why is that in the apartment? Evicted?"

"I don't know either. He didn't tell the story to his family." I looked back at what they had gone through earlier and I knew they were inside now.

"Hmmn," he didn't answer well and we went back to our respective jobs.

When the manager returned he called me to get a Menu list and serve in the V.I.P room. And when I entered, I immediately smelled a mixture of their perfumes.

"May I take your order ma'am?" i ask them.

"Mom, that's what I'm telling your room mate," Instead of answering that was Irah's response with a smile.

I smiled at the dog she called 'Mom' and raised her eyebrows with a smile that seemed to be glaring.

"What's your name hija?" its question with a somewhat british accent.

"The name's Ziaren Corvado, ma'am. Nice to meet you," I smiled in response.

"Hmmn, is my daughter doing good? I mean, in every terms?"

"Your daughter is so lovely and she's doing great." I confidently replied that he answered with a nod.

"See ?I’m a good girl mom, ”Irah implied confidently.

"Just take your food and stop talking. Give me some carbonated shrimp, miss." Irah’s ‘Mom’ said I didn’t ask the name. And it seems like he has no intention of letting me know.

"Oh, you know my favorite right?" he smiled and told me that I just smiled and turned my attention to the woman who looked like a model.

"Anything without carbs please," was his only answer.

"Oh come on Lindsay, you're boring," Irah teased her.

"Shut up, that's all for now," she dismissed.

Cont.

when I got their orders and got back, I was not able to enter V.I.P again because of the large number of customers and the Resto was quite large and people needed it. There are others there who serve there somehow.

after a few minutes the customers calmed down a bit again and I was cleaning the table when I felt the sudden silence around me, I wondered if I just ignored it and continued to wipe the table when I felt an elbow on the side. ko. I confronted Grace who was my companion and someone was chasing me from behind.

And when I turned around I was amazed to see a few people staring at a tall man in slacks and a black polo that he was rolling up to his elbows. he walks with his back to me and I also feel like he is a high class person that you will rarely see in your whole life.

It happened quickly for me because he disappeared from my sight just a few steps away and turned around. that I'm late for checking on men because my job is my priority and not the handsome ones who come to Resto. Well, until it disappeared I heard the accent scream of Grace next to me.

"Hmmp! Did you see that? Oh my ghad! Oh my! Hoo!" She exclaimed fanning herself.

"Who's that?" my curious question.

"He's just familiar to me and I'm sure he's one of our Ruego Guests. He's a Ruego!"

I don't know but after he told me that, something came to my mind about Irah's last birthday that I talked to the man on the cellphone.

Is there a possibility that he is?
