บททั้งหมดของ Dare Me, Mr. CEO : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Hans' POV"Uuwi na ba tayo, Sir Hans, o may gagawin ka pa?" Mr. Ladesma asked, my driver."Just take me home, Manong," I replied and heaved a sigh.I didn't know what came into my mind why I offered her another favor. Was I being too nice to her? It was true that my people resided in a compound but to ask her if she would like to occupy the vacant property was another thing. I was being creepy again."Naku, Sir Hans mukhang malala na 'yan."I looked at Mr. Ladesma who looked back at me through the mirror.I remained silent on my seat. I could still feel her presence even if she was gone now. Her sweet scent filled the air that reminded me of a wild rose and lotus flower.She was like a wild rose full of prickles in order to defend herself. Nobody was able to touch her or they would bleed. Yet, she was also a lotus flower that came

Author's Note: ang dami kasing ganap sa life ni Hans at 'di ko masulat 'yong story niya in his perspective so everytime may exposure si Hans, nakathird POV para mas malawak. Sheika's POV is fine with me. Thank you for understanding!Sheika's POV"Okay na po ba, Chef?" Tanong ni Donny sa akin.It's almost four in the afternoon and we were done with the menus. Wala na rin akong magawa kaya gusto ko sanang tumulong sa pagkuha ng orders."Yes, Donny. Marami pa ba tayong customers?""Marami pa po, Chef.""Can I help? Wala na rin akong gagawin eh.""Naku, Chef. Sabi kasi ni Sir Hans kung ano lang 'yong trabaho mo ay 'yon ang gagawin mo.""Gano'n ba?"Bigla akong nalungkot. Bakit ba ang daming rules dito sa restaurant? Para akong nasasakal sa pamamalakad niya.What if I'

Hans stood up beside his father who was waiting for the chef's appearance. Kinakabahan siya sa hindi malamang dahilan. Maybe because he didn't want his father to say ill things against Sheika. Or maybe he had read that his father would kick her out. Kung ano man 'yong bumabagabag sa kaniya ay hindi niya mapigilan.Lumabas si Sheika mula sa kusina at nagtungo sa kinaroroonan ni Hans. Alam na niyang nasa private room na naman ang kanyang boss. Malamang sa malamang nandoon din si Big Boss.When Sheika entered the room, para bang may liwanag na sumilip mula sa kanyang likuran. Hans never left his eyes on her. Pinanood niya itong naglalakad papunta sa kanyang direksyon. Para bang bumagal ang takbo ng mundo at tanging si Sheika lang ang nakikita niya."Good evening, Sir Hans. Good evening, Mr. Estrabo," magalang na bati ni Sheika sabay yuko sa mga bigating tao."You are?" Lans asked, sounding cold.

Hans went back to his seat and fixed his necktie. He was enraged but it didn't show on his face. "Damn it," he cursed mentally.While Hans was like that, Sheika knew something was off but she couldn't tell what was it. Nababasa niya sa facial expression ni Hans na may displeasing na bagay sa kanya."Sir," sambit ni Sheika. Nag-angat kaagad ng masamang tingin si Hans sa kanya na medyo ikinabigla ng dalaga. Hans realized Sheika's discomfort then his monolid eyes softened."I still have things to do, Mr. Fernando. I'm looking forward to seeing you once again," ani Hans at tumayo na. Tumayo rin si Sheika at yumuko sa kanyang boss. Hans walked out without any word which left Sheika dumbfounded and confused.Umikot ang katawan ni Sheika at sinundan niya ng tingin ang kanyang boss. Nang nawala na si Hans, dali-dali siyang lumabas ng silid at sinundan ito. She followed

"This is Chef Fernando and Chef Vito," pormal na pakilala ni Donny sa mga chef kay Vans Estrabo.Ngayon ang unang araw na si Vans ang magpapatakbo ng restaurant. Lahat sila ay nagulat nang malamang hindi na si Sir Hans ang kanilang boss. Ni hindi man lang nagpaalam sa kanila.The chefs bowed at Vans as a sign of respect and greeting. Nag-bow din si Vans sa kanila."I know this is sudden but starting today, I will manage this restaurant and my big brother Hans Estrabo will take over our real estate. My apologies that he did not have a formal farewell to all of you but I assure you that our restaurant will keep going," mahabang speech ni Vans sa kanila.Sheika studied Vans' physical feature. He looked like korean too. Magkahawig sila ng mata ni Hans. Ang pinagkaiba lang nila ay si Hans seryoso. Si Vans medyo playboy. Alam mong go-with-the-flow lang. And Hans was still taller than Vans. Mas maputi nga lang si
