Chapter 5 - SUSPICION
I felt Luna’s soft punch on my shoulder when we went inside the car.
“Care to exin what happens after our meeting? What is with you and Mr. Escarrer? Do you guys
know each other?” Luna asked me.
It was very obvious that she was very curious about me and Mr. Escarrer.
I actually asked myself if I will tell her the truth or not. As much as possible I wanted to keep this a
secret.
"I don''t want this project anymore!" I said instead of answering her.
Her eyes widen and I got a soft punch again from her.
“What are you saying?! Are you crazy?! You waited for this project with LHI for so long and now you
are saying that?!” She said in disbelief.
“Yes I wanted it before but now I am not sure.” I softly whispered but enough for her to hear.
She raised her right eyebrow. “Is this because of Mr. Escarrer? You wanted to miss this kind of
opportunity because of him. Tell me the truth, what is with you and Mr. Escarrer?”
I just avoided her gaze and remain silent.
“You really avoiding answering my question. You know that it made me more curious to know what
is with you and him.”
Then her eyes suddenly widen. “Wait, Ellie! OMG! Don’t tell me he was the guy?!” She started to
get hysterical again.
She was still trying to absorb the idea that came to her. She can’t still get over it.
“He was so hot girl! OMG! You are so lucky! Did you know how hard I stop myself from drooling
because of his handsomeness?! Then I will find out that he was the father of your twins! You are the
luckiest girl!”
I am not sure anymore if she was still talking to me or herself because I can’t butt in.
“Girl, don’t you have any reaction?” She suddenly asked after her long dialogue.
I just rolled my eyes. “Of course he was handsome! Do you think that I will choose an ugly guy and
give him my v card?! It’s already given that one of my qualifications on that night was his looks. It''s
my child that we are talking about here! My twin has to have good genes both from me and their
father.” I exined to her.
“Wow! I can’t get over your cockiness girl! But still, you are so lucky! You don’t really want to tell him
about your twins? It’s your chance to get him!”

I was stunned by what she said. I can’t believe what I am hearing from her. Is this really my friend?
“Luna I think you are forgetting something, I am Penelope Quinn Cabello, I never chased nor
seduced any guy?!” I said a bit irritated.
She just rolled her eyes at me. “Oh well you never chased a guy but you got yourself pregnant.”
My eyes widen. “You and your mouth!”
She really doesn’t know when to stop when she was overwhelmed with something. She forgot for a
moment that aside from the OB it was only me and her who knew about my pregnancy.
"Sorry I was carried away."
I just shook my head.
Today is Sunday and I don’t have work, I was just in my penthouse.
If I were to ask I would like to spend my whole day here in the house and sleep more, but my twins
look like they don’t like the idea of just staying home.
I was craving something. I just can’t say what is it. I decided to just go to the mall and do some food
hunting.
I have already gone to all my favorite restaurants but still, I can’t find exactly what I want to eat.
It was almost 2 pm. Twins, what do you want us to eat? It was already past lunch.
While I was walking, I saw a Korean-Japanese buffet. This was the new trend for the millennials
here today. Samgyupsal is what they call it. But this restaurant was also offering Japanese food.
I can''t believe it! For just P550 you''ll be able to eat as much Korean and Japanese food as you
want. But since I don''t have someone to eat with me, I need to pay for two-person.
Fair enough. The cheapest buffet that I went to was worth P1400, the rest were P2,800 to P5,000.
It''s a good thing lunchtime was almost over so I don''t need to wait. I heard that in this kind of buffet
the line was crazily long.
I ordered all the food on the menu. Since it was a buffet, I can taste all of it.
My table looks like a feast with all the food. I can''t wait to eat.
I was already enjoying my food when someone when at my table.
"Can you eat all that?" The man said.
I was pissed when I looked at the person who said that.
"It''s none of your business. Kindly leave me alone!" I hissed.
Instead of following my words, he says down across my chair.
“I am just concerned about you okay? You might get a stomachache from eating all these foods.”
He said.
"Thanks for the concern but I can manage," I told him.
"Do you still think that it‘s all coincidence?" He then asked.
I rolled my eyes. I just wanted to eat, but why is this guy going here and starting talking nonsense.
"Can you just let me eat?" I said almost in tears because I just wanted to eat in peace and I am
getting frustrated thanks to him.
I saw concern in his eyes. Oh,e on!
"Fine fine. But I will not let you eat all this. You were so slim, where will all this food go if you will eat
all these?”
“You can just tell me that you wanted to eat free food you don’t need to tell me that nonsense,” I
said in an irritated voice.
"What? I can pay for this. You haven’t pay this food right?"
"Whatever?! Can I eat now?" I hissed.
I really wanted to just eat but I can’t do that because of this guy in front of me.
Twins why is your father like this?! He is getting on my nerves!
"Fine. Let''s eat."
I smiled because finally, I can eat. I tasted all the food that was on the table.
I was enjoying my food when this guy started to talk again and this time he made me feel nervous.
"You are gaining weight. With your moods and the way you eat, I would really think that you''re
pregnant with my child."
