CHAPTER 19

“SO…” Valerie trailed. “You and Cassiuz Velasquez are dating?” she asked Wynter as she sipped her coffee. Tinaasan niya ng kilay ang kaibigan. “Come on, Wynter. Spill the bean.”

Tumango si Wynter. “Yes.”

“I knew it!” Nahampas ni Valerie ang lamesa. “I saw it from the very first time. I saw how he look at you.” Ngumiti si Valerie. “So, you like him?”

Wynter rolled her eyes. “No.” Umiling siya.

Napatanga si Valerie. “You two are dating and yet you don’t like him?”

Nagkibit lang naman ng balikat si Wynter. “Pwede naman ‘yon hindi ba?”

Valerie sighed. “Hindi ko alam sa ‘yo, Wyn. Ano bang balak mo? And don’t lie to me. You’re dating Cassiuz Velasquez. And I’m telling you, he’s a billionaire. You’re lucky.”

Umismid si Wynter. “Malas kamo.”

Kumunot ang nuo ni Valerie. “Bakit naman malas?” tanong niya.

Wynter sighed. You never knew. Umiling na lang siya saka kumain ng cake. She looked at Valerie. “Do I like him?”

Valerie looked at her friend. “Wynter, you should know the answer by yourself.”
