Chapter 29
Orpheline ( JENLISA )*LISA'S POV*
"Jennie." I uttered as I saw who was at our table.
"Lisa, it's you." sabi naman niya. Malee looked at us weirdly. "You know each other?" tanong ni Malee.
"Barely." sagot ni Jennie with a straight face. Pero bigla siyang nagchuckle. "Im kidding. She's my childhood bestfriend. Diba Lis?" Jennie said while looking at me. Gosh she's really good at pretending that things are okay whenever she wants it too. Who tells someone they love them and get engaged to another after a couple of days? Jennie Kim. Only Jennie Kim.
"Yun lang ba?" sabi ko while I smirked. "Namiss mo ba ako?" sabi ko as I smirked, feeling a little confident. I don't even know why. This is all messed up.
Anyway.... a few moments before this encounter, Princess Malee asked me to pose as her fiancé. She briefly explained to me just a few minutes ago na even though she got rid of her fiancé, she needed to present one to her dad at baka kung sino-sino pa daw yung ipakilala sakanya, lalo na the convention is on going at madaming mga tagapagmana ang gustong gustong maging asawa si Malee, for business purposes. That's why she almost kneeled as she was begging me earlier and I guess I can't just say no to people these days.
So there's that
"I'm sorry I haven't reached out." sabi ni Jennie as I sat together with them. Our parents were chatting kaya naman kaming mga anak ay nasa kabilang corner ng table. "You're engaged too, right? Busy ka din siguro." sabi ko naman, referring to her engagement with that Kim Khai.
"Ni hindi mo nga nabanggit sakin na engaged ka na." I said sternly, not trying to sound bitter. "Lisa, I wanted to.." sabi niya. "Jennie Kim, you always want something until you don't." I whispered.
"Are you guys fighting or something?" singit ni Malee, dahil hindi niya naintindihan yung iba naming napag-usapan since we were talking in Filipino.
"No." sabay naming sagot. "Just catching up." sabi pa ni Jennie..
"I heard you're engaged with Khai Kim, right?" tanong ni Malee kay Jennie at tumango naman siya. "Arranged marriage or.. real feelings are involved?" Malee propped and I suddenly felt nervous. I mean... they were together before, Jennie and Khai. It's possible na she's in love with him and they just planned the wedding sooner kasi dun din naman mapupunta?
Kaso lang ay bago pa makasagot sa Jennie, bigla namang nakita namin si Khai na pa
