ALEX’S POV
I am here at the restaurant where Liz and Gian are having lunch. And bingo! I already saw them.
I went to them as if I did not know they were there.
I was close to their table. “Liz?” I act as if I got shocked from seeing them.
Liz furrowed. “Alex! What are you doing here?”
“Lunch? Is in it obvious?” I said in a sarcastic tone.
Liz’s eyes narrowed at the same time raising her left eyebrow. She seems to know why I am really here.
“Mind if I join you?” I asked Gian.
The shock on his face was obvious. “S-sure.”
He smiled at me but obviously he didn’t want me to join them. As if I care!
“Thanks.”
I immediately sat down next to him. Yes next to him! I actually prefer to be in the front but since Liz’s place is there I am just here sitting next to him. And I saw my bestfriend’s eyebrows rise, I just smiled at her.
I was about to call for the waiter when Gian stopped me.
“Wait. We’re not yet complete.” Then he grin.
I frowned. “What do you mean?” I asked him.
“Since you are here, I have decided to call one of my friends to join us.” Then he smiled at me.
His smile is telling me something. It seems like he is planning something.
This man is really annoying. So he called his friend so I wouldn’t disturb them? Tss but I’m sorry I won’t let me.

BRYAN’S POV
I was about to go to Alex’s office to invite her for lunch but Gian texted me saying that I need to go to a certain restaurant because he is with Liz and Alex and they are having lunch together.
Why is Alex with them? I told him to only help Liz and never get involve with Alex!
I suddenly felt nervous. What if Gian is right? That Alex likes him?! No! I can’t let that happen. She is mine.
That’s why I did my very best to get to the restaurant that Gian is referring to. I saw the three of them having lunch. And they seem to really enjoy each other’s company. And wait why is Alex next to Gian?
“Hey!” I greeted them.
Gian smirked. “Dude its good that you are already here.”
The shock on Liz and Alex’s face was obvious.
“He was the one you called?” Alex asked.
“Yes Alex.” Gian answered him while grinning.
I would like to tell Gian to stop making a move on Alex but I stop my self because I am also ashamed of Liz. I know she haven’t moved on yet. And because of that I can’t court Alex yet.
I just shook my head and went to sit beside Liz. The only good thing was Alex is in front of me.
“Hi Bryan. Long time no see.” Liz greeted me.
“Same here. You look good.” I told her a bit uncomfortable.
“Thanks.” Then she gave me a smile.
“So now that we are all here. Can we order already?” Alex said. She look so pissed.
“Sure.” Gian said to her while giving her a sweet smile.
I glared at Gian but he seems to not care.
While we were waiting for the, Alex is busy talking with Gian. Is she really that interested to my friend?!
“Gian I saw the latest issue of your magazine, I must say you have a really nice review about Sapphire and the exposure is really great!” Alex said.
“Don’t mention it, your brand is really good. The phone that I am using is actually Sapphire.” He said to her.
“Wow really?! That’s great! I’m happy to know that.” Alex looks really happy with what she heard.
This can’t be. Alex didn’t even noticed me. All her attention are with Gian. And its pissing the hell out of me.
The food has arrived so Alex can rest in her speech.

ALEX’S POV
“Bryan I heard about your meeting with Alex yesterday. And I’m glad that finally we already got the deal with SK Telecom. ” Liz said to Bryan while trying to give him a warm smile.
You can really feel the awkwardness with the two of them. And you can still feel that she still has a feeling for Bryan.
I feel sad about it. I really am sad for my best friend.
“I agree with Gian earlier, Sapphire is indeed a great brand. That is why I never had a second thought on carrying Sapphire as our 6th cellphone brand.” Bryan said but he still sounds so awkward.
“Good to hear that. Well to tell you honestly, I kind of expected the result. As if you can reject me?!” Liz said in a teasing tone.
He chuckled. “Of course! I can’t seem to reject you. You really aware about that right?”
I feel a bit hurt with their conversation . Is Bryan still has a feeling for Liz?
Wait Alex why do you sound so depress?! Aren’t you suppose to be happy because there still hope that they will reconcile and be lovers again?
If that happens, Gian will not be able to make a move on her and you don’t need to avoid Bryan.
Everything will go back to how they used to be. But why is there a part of my heart that you do not want it to happen?
“But wait Alex might feel bad about it. Earlier she got mad at me because I seem to claim that we only got the deal of SK Telecom because of you and not because of our brand and their skills.” Liz said while laughing.
She really looked happy. It seems like Bryan was the only one who can make her this happy.
“Really? Are you feeling bad baby girl?” Bryan said teasing me.
“Baby girl?” Gian butt in.
“Oh that? Don’t mind that! That’s our way of teasing each other, right grandpa?!” I explained it to him.
“Grandpa?” Gian frowned.
“grandpa as in grand father!” I explained again.
Gian suddenly laughed so hard.
“Why are you laughing?” Bryan asked a bit pissed.
“Oh so you have a grandpa and granddaughter relationship?!” Gian said still laughing.
“Of course not! We are not like the other cheesy couple thats why.” Bryan defended.
All of us got shocked from what he had said.
“Couple?” Liz asked.
I suddenly felt nervous. Oh no! Liz might misinterpret what he had said.
“Hey grandpa what couple are you talking about? As if!” I said defensively.
Everyone was still quiet so I decided to just change the topic.
“Ahm Gian can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Are dating someone?”
