Jay pov
(We step into Kuya Angelo's house. The moment we enter, the warmth hits me—smells, voices, the usual bustle.)
Mumma: "Jay! Come here, darling! Tea and breakfast are ready!"
I think: Oh, wow… I'm the star of the day. Love this already.
Tita Gemma: "And I baked your favorite bread! Sit, sit, let us pamper you!"
I think: This is too much… I'm totally soaking it in.
(I start moving toward them, smiling, when I notice Keifer, Percy, and Aries standing by the door, arms crossed, all pretending not to care but clearly simmering.)
Keifer (muttering to Percy and Aries): "She's sitting there… with them. Without us."
Percy: "Yeah… she didn't even say a word to us."
Aries: "Stealing her attention like this? Unacceptable."
I think: Ohhh… jealousy looks really cute on them. I love it.
Me (sweetly, loud enough for them to hear): "Of course! How can I say no to tea and bread?"
I think: Oh yes… see those tiny frowns? Perfection.
Keifer (whispering to Percy and Aries): "I can't believe this. She's enjoying herself without us."
I think: Calm down, Keifer… not so obvious.
Percy: "She's laughing… and not even glancing our way."
I think: He's literally pouting. Hahaha.
Aries: "I'm fine… I'm totally fine…"
I think: Sure you are, eyebrow-raise extraordinaire.
(I sit down with Mumma and Tita Gemma, completely ignoring the trio. They shift awkwardly, trying not to glare.)
Me (playful): "Mumma, your tea is perfect, as always."
I think: Look at their faces… priceless. Keifer's jaw tight, Percy's smirk failing, Aries's glare… love it.
Keifer (crossing arms): "This is unfair."
Me: "Life is unfair sometimes, Keifer. You'll survive."
I think: Try not to choke on your jealousy.
Percy: "I can't believe she's laughing over there."
Me: "Maybe I should save some bread for you three."
I think: And now… their faces just got even redder.
Aries: "I'm not jealous!"
Me: "Oh, sure, totally not."
I think: That glare says otherwise, buddy.
Keifer: "We're being ignored… we're literally standing here!"
Me: "Relax. You're not going anywhere, don't worry."
I think: Look at them… arms crossed, trying to act cool, failing hilariously.
Percy: "I guess we'll sit… but only because you said so."
Me: "Good. Make yourselves comfortable."
I think: Begrudging little seats? Perfect.
Aries: "I'm only observing."
I think: Observing… yeah right. You're planning your revenge in your head.
(Finally, they sit down beside me, still grumbling, arms crossed. I sip my tea, smiling innocently.)
Me: "See? Everyone's happy now."
Keifer: "We're not happy… but fine."
Percy: "We're tolerating it."
Aries: "I'm calm and neutral. Obviously."
I think: Calm and neutral? Look at your faces! Stop lying, it's hilarious.
(All three burst out laughing, realizing their jealousy was way too obvious.)
Me: "Finally! Honesty at last."
Keifer: "We admit it."
Percy: "Still not over it though."
Aries: "Never. But… funny."
I think: Their jealousy just made the moment even sweeter. Can't stop smiling.
(We all step into Kuya Angelo's room. The usual warmth hits me immediately—smells of fresh coffee, the faint scent of Tita Gemma's baked goods, and the calm authority of Kuya Angelo filling the room.)
Kuya Angelo: "Jay, Keifer, Percy, Aries… come here. Sit. We need to discuss Fernandoez Corp."
I think: Ahh… the serious faces are coming out. Time to show them I'm ready for business… and maybe have some fun watching them squirm.
(We all sit at the long table. Keifer crosses his arms, trying to act calm but that little smirk betrays him. Percy and Aries are already throwing competitive glances at me.)
Kuya Angelo: "Jay, Percy, Aries… starting next week, you three will officially join Fernandoez Corp. Keifer will oversee the collaboration from Watson Enterprises. He is helping their company streamline operations, so don't waste time or effort."
Me: "Understood, Kuya."
I think: Okay, Jay… act professional. But also… don't forget to enjoy seeing them jealous.
Aries (grinning, nudging Percy): "Looks like we'll be in the same team. Hope you can keep up, Jay."
I think: Oh honey, keep talking… I'll outshine you before lunch.
Me (smiling sweetly, deadly inside): "Don't worry. I plan to keep up… and maybe even leave you two gasping for air."
I think: Oooh, see those eyebrows? Pure pricelessness.
Percy (rolling his eyes): "I don't need you slowing me down, Jay. I'm not taking it easy."
I think: Aw, Percy… trying to act all professional while glaring at me. Too cute.
Keifer (arms crossed, calm but voice sharp): "I'll handle Watson's side. Make sure the Fernandoez Corp team doesn't make mistakes. I don't want any excuses."
I think: Ohhh, protective Keifer… tiny smirk creeping in. Love it.
Kuya Angelo: "Jay, Percy, Aries… professionalism is key. You're representing both your families and Fernandoez Corp. Keifer… no slacking on Watson Enterprises' end. Make sure all operations are smooth."
Me: "Yes, Kuya. We'll be careful."
I think: Careful, huh? I'll be careful… but not boring. Let's spice this up a bit.
Aries (whispering to Percy): "She's smiling like she owns the place."
I think: Oh honey… enjoy your jealousy. This is hilarious.
Percy (whispering to Keifer): "She's clearly enjoying this more than she should."
I think: Oh yes… I'm fully enjoying this. Keep the pouting coming, boys.
Keifer (leaning slightly, smirk in his voice): "Just focus on your work. Jealousy won't help you complete tasks."
I think: Cute… he's trying to stay serious while his little smirk betrays him. Classic Keifer.
Me (innocently aloud): "Of course. I'll focus… but I do enjoy the little competitions already."
I think: Watch them squirm… yes, all three of you… perfect.
Kuya Angelo: "Enough. I don't want excuses or distractions. Jay, Percy, Aries… this project is important. You'll need to report weekly. Keifer… make sure Watson's team fully supports Fernandoez Corp."
Me: "Understood, Kuya Angelo."
Percy: "Got it."
Aries: "Crystal clear."
Keifer: "Affirmative."
I think: Alright… everyone's serious now, but I can already feel the subtle jealousy radiating from the three of them. Keifer protective, Percy competitive, Aries… horoscope-obsessed and plotting.
Kuya Angelo (leaning back): "Good. Now, focus, work hard, and no nonsense. Dismissed."
(We all stand. Keifer gives me a subtle protective nod. Percy and Aries exchange little glances of competitiveness. I can't help smiling.)
Me (thinking as we leave the table): Perfect… Keifer smirking, Percy plotting, Aries overthinking horoscopes… and me? I get to enjoy the show while being fully professional. Business mode: ON.
(Dinner table was set beautifully. The aroma of food made me smile—Tita Gemma had outdone herself again.)
Mumma: "Jay, have some more rice. You barely touched it!"
Me: "Of course, mumma. Can't let your hard work go to waste."
I think: And they wonder why I never get scolded… because I eat like a queen.
Keifer (grumbling, poking at his food): "Seriously… do you always eat that fast?"
I think: Ohhh, jealousy already showing… love it.
Percy (snickering): "Keifer, don't act like you don't enjoy watching her eat."
I think: Oh yes, Percy… I see you, smirking while pretending to be serious.
Aries (rolling eyes): "You two are ridiculous. Focus on your food."
I think: Horoscope-obsessed and still trying to act all mature… hilarious.
Me: "Focus on my food? Sorry, can't hear you over this delicious rice."
I think: Take that, all three of you. Eat your jealousy too.
Keifer (muttering): "I swear she does this on purpose…"
I think: Oh, yes, every move is on purpose, Keifer. Every single bite.
Percy: "If she's distracting you, you're welcome. She's my teammate, remember?"
I think: Percy, sweetie… keep telling yourself that while you're glaring at me every five seconds.
Aries: "Honestly, this is unfair. I shouldn't be this entertained by her eating."
I think: Aries, take a seat… you're basically a kid pouting in an expensive suit.
Me: "Unfair? You're just jealous because I taste the food before you do."
I think: Yes… look at their faces. Pure comedy gold.
(We all laugh at each other's antics. Keifer tries to hide his smirk, Percy throws playful glances, and Aries rolls his eyes but can't hide the amusement.)
Keifer: "I swear, one day she's going to make me lose my cool completely."
I think: Ohhh, I plan to. Slowly… deliciously.
Percy: "I'd pay to see that happen."
I think: Haha… yes, Percy, keep fueling my entertainment.
Aries: "Can we just finish eating before she messes with us more?"
I think: Aries… the calm one… yeah, calm while secretly plotting some petty revenge.
Me (smiling, biting into a piece of bread): "Relax, boys. There's enough mischief for everyone tonight."
I think: And yes… watching them squirm while trying to act serious is the best dessert ever.
(Dinner continues with jokes flying, laughter, playful teasing, and subtle eye rolls from Keifer, Percy, and Aries. Tita Gemma and Mumma laugh along, enjoying the chaos.)
Mumma: "Alright, everyone… I think that's enough for tonight. Time to leave."
Me: "Aww… I was having fun teasing you three."
I think: And yes, the jealousy is palpable… mission accomplished.
Keifer: "Next time… I'm keeping a closer eye on you."
Percy: "Me too."
Aries: "Don't think I won't notice anything."
I think: Haha… keep talking. I'll remember every smirk, every glare, every little pout.
Me: "Noted… I'll be careful… maybe."
I think: Okay, definitely not serious. They love it anyway.
(One by one, everyone leaves. I wave goodbye, smiling, while Keifer, Percy, and Aries follow reluctantly, still looking like tiny kids who didn't get their way. Perfect evening.)
