10 AM, when Elisha arrived in Palawan. There, when she got off the van Brent met him who had arrived in Palawan early. Brent is one of her co-workers who has a secret crush of her there, but she just ignores it.

"How's your trip? Did you get tired? Hungry? If you're hungry, I had prepared food for you." Brent asked Elisha. They are currently in the elevator going up to their room on the 4Th floor.

"No thanks," Elisha answered frankly and cross her arm while stamping her feet on the floor. She does this when she doesn't want to talk to the person. But she has no choice now because she was sent here for this job with Brent. She sighed silently.

"Ah, by the way, our client will arrive here tomorrow afternoon. So do you wanna-- ah wander around? I know some famous restaurants here. Wanna try their food? My treat."

There was a brief silence.

"Wanna?" Brent asked her again.

Elisha just shrugged her shoulder, lazy to speak out. Brent was waiting for her to answer but he doesn't hear any word from Elisha. Brent was already aware that from the start Elisha doesn't like him. He'd been rejected for how many times also, still he doesn't give up. Because the first time he saw Elisha, it has captured his heart, not because she's beautiful but because Elisha's attitudes are different from the other girls that he'd encounter. Creative, talented and Elisha was the only woman who ignores his good looking face.

*ting*

The elevator opens.

Elisha walked outside first until they reached its assigned room.

"Thanks. You can go now." Elisha said coldly to him after he puts her suitcase over her bed.

Brent sighed loudly. He badly wanted to eat outside with Elisha, because he knows tomorrow they will be busy for work, but he didn't want to upset her.

"Sure. Ah. Just call me if you need something or you want to go somewhere, I will just in downstairs." Brent tries to smile at her. Elisha just nodded. "Sige. Rest well." He went outside.

Elisha sighed as Brent goes out to her room. She sat on her bed and lay down and sighed again. She watched the ceiling for a few seconds, without blinking her eyes. Unexpectedly, Galacio's face appears on her mind. It's the broad and high forehead, high-bridge nose, brown eyes, thick eyebrows, long but little bit curly eyelashes, it's wide and broad muscular shoulder and even it's kissable heart-shaped lips. It's been 3 years since Galacio left, and the whole face of that man was still intact on her mind. She's really in love with that man. She did not change her feelings for that man by even one percent.

"Where are you? Why did you suddenly disappear like a bubble?" Elisha shed a tearful sigh as he took a deep breath. She slowly closed her eyes, to remember and remember again the memory that Galacio had left her. Although she was hurt, still it brings her happiness. And she's hoping that someday, they will meet again.

She stood up from lying, opened her suitcase but stopped for a moment. There is a weird sound coming out of nowhere. She rubbed her stomach which begging for food.

'Uh. I'm hungry. Yeah, I haven't eaten breakfast before I left.'

She remembered.

She closed the zipper of her suitcase again and get her phone to send Brent a call. But as she looked at the open sliding door, she saw Brent standing at the sea side with a girl. She lowered her cellphone and threw it over the drawer.

"Boys nowadays are a fucking jerk." She closed the sliding door. She came out of her room, took the elevator to the ground floor.

The elevator sounded as it reached the ground floor. A hotel staff member greeted her as she goes out, she just gave her a smile and kept walking until she left the hotel.

Brent's position wasn't too far away so he noticed her immediately. "Hey!" Brent's voice calling Elisha from a distance. Elisha turned her head as her hair was waving because of the fierceness of the wind that overshadowed her. The young man waved at him but she just ignores it and walked away.

"Hey. Elisha. I thought you're not coming out?" Brent asked her as he was following her. Elisha felt irritated as Brent follows her but she doesn't make it obvious

She also didn't want Brent to feel like he was a shadow. Because at least, Elisha has a soft side.

"I suddenly feel hungry." She shrugged and walked slowly, gazing at the gentle waves of sea water.

"See? I told you to call me if you're hungry. I had a meal for you at the hotel."

Elisha turned her head and looked straight at him. "It seems like you're busy talking to someone. I don't want to bother you, Brent."

A wide smile form Brent's lips on what he heard. Is she jealous? A question he made in his mind.

Elisha noticed it immediately.

"It's not what you think, okay? I don't care who you want to talk to here. And besides, I don't like hotel meals."

Brent laughed. "I'm not thinking anything."

Elisha rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"So, where do you want to eat? Just tell me. I'll bring you there."

Elisha shrugged her shoulder and Shook her head as an answer.

"Can I decide?"

Elisha looked at him in an unpuzzled way. "Make sure that their food is delicious."

Brent chuckled silently. "You will not regret it. " he winked.

REEF CAFE

Burger, Bacon and Eggs, Philly Cheese steak, Chilli cheese fries, Fried Rice, Shrimp soup and a bottle of wine.

Those are the goods presented in her front. Her eyes make closed because of the sweet smell of the food in front of her. This isn't the first time she has eaten at an American restaurant but he prefers this one. He took a spoon to taste the soup.

"Mmm. Wow!" A smile drew on her thin red lips.

'This soup is damn delicious. I like this.'

"How's the taste?" Brent asked her a question and smiled knowing that Elisha liked the restaurant he shared.

Elisha stares at him, raising her eyebrow. "What? You're giving me now a victory smile?" She gave him a short smile.

Brent chuckled. "I guess, I am."

"Tsh. Let's eat before it will get cold."

"Yeah. Uh.let's have a toss first."

Brent took the wine and opened it. He put some wine on Elisha's glass.

"Cheers?" Brent leads and raised his glass that has wine.

"Cheers"
