Capítulo 14: The Offer
Cassie looks at her schedule before looking at Aiden with an exasperated expression. She sighs as she picks up her bag before walking out of her room.
"Today is the only day that I am free from our classes. It is also a perfect time to get screwed."
Aiden bites his nail after hearing Cassie's statement. He completely forgets that his sister knows both of their schedules.
"Cassie, I am scared."
Cassie looks at Aiden with a frown.
"I am too, Young master. But there is nothing we can do about it. Miss Jasmine is calling for us to report."
Aiden sighs and follows Cassie out of their apartment. He looks down to the parking lot and sees a familiar car at the gates of their dormitory.
He taps on Cassie's shoulder and points at the car parked in front of their gates. Cassie frowns and immediately locks the door of their apartment.
"Stay here and let look who is it, okay?"
Aiden nods at Cassie while she grabs her weapon in case that someone might hurt her. She looks closer towards the gate and gapes when she sees who it is.
She looks at Aiden and mouthed, "It's your Prince Charming."
Aiden's ears turn red and show Cassie his middle finger before hiding his face away from his friend.
Cassie quietly chuckles before approaching the man outside of their dormitory gates. She wears a formal smile. It is somewhat similar to a business smile that she learned from her father and her Head master.
She clears her throat and greets the person that is clearly waiting for Aiden outside of their dormitory.
"Good morning, Mr. Santoro."
The man looks at Cassie and smiles to her charmingly. He is with someone unfamiliar with her but none of that matter. What matter is his purpose for being here.
"Good morning, Miss Johansenn."
Cassie bows at him in respect while the other bows alongside her, acknowledging her presence. Cassie smiles to the man who is with Mr. Santoro before looking back at him.
"What brings you here, Sir?"
It is a simple question but the man who is with Primo finds it quite bold for Cassie to ask, especially her tone that she used to asked the question.
Primo clears his throat before nudging the man beside him who snickers a laugh behind him.
The man clears his throat as Primo asks Cassie about Aiden.
"How is Aiden?"
Cassie looks at him as if asking if he is for real. Like if he just came here to ask if Aiden is okay. Cassie also knows that is not the only reason why he is here.
"He is fine. We are just going out because his sister wants to see him."
Primo frowns at Cassie's answer. He never knew that Aiden had a sister. He always thought that he is an only child by the way he acts.
"Oh, is that right? Well, it's a good thing that Aiden is okay."
Silence fills the whole place after Primo's statement. Cassie is getting awkward as time passes and decides to give Primo some leeway about Aiden.
"If you want to ask him out on a date, today is not the day since we will be visiting his sister. Maybe tomorrow after class or something."
Drax almost chokes on his own saliva after what Cassie had just suggested. He didn't know that they are that obvious about coming in here.
Drax only came along because he wants to see what Aiden looks like and that's it. But he never knew that his friend will be the one welcoming them.
"But you can always leave a good impression to his sister by taking us there since we don't have any car to ride with."
Aiden gawks at Cassie's suggestion, making him jump from where he is and stomps to Cassie's way as he screams her name.
"Cassie!"
Primo looks at the source of the voice, and his mind immediately went blank. Aiden looks good at the clothes he is wearing now.
A loosen plaided long sleeves blouse with a slim fit pants and white shoes, Aiden looks like he is going on a date rather than visiting his sister.
Primo snickers a tiny laugh that Aiden could only hear and when Aiden looks at him with a glare, Aiden gawks at how amazing their professor looks like. With the way he dressed, anyone will fall for someone like him.
Aiden looks away and shakes his head. He shifts his gaze to Cassie, who is looking away from Aiden and waits for Primo's answer about the free ride.
Moments later, Primo clears his throat. He looks at Cassie with a tiny smile on his face. Aiden widens his eyes and is about to retort when Primo speaks up.
"Hop on. I'll give you a ride to your destination."
Drax smiles and opens the door for them. Cassie smiles alongside him and grabs Aiden inside the vehicle. Aiden whines but there is nothing he can do anymore.
Primo is the one who offered the ride but technically, it is Cassie's fault because she pushes the idea straight to Primo's mind and now they are riding to his sister.
"If ever my sister will ask us, I will drag your name straight to the mud."
Cassie doesn't know if she will laugh or beg Aiden for forgiveness, thus, she did not say anything. She looks out of the window while Primo drives to their location.
It is not that far from their university but the place is filled with different natives other than the natives here in Pampanga. Cassie tells Primo which side he can park the car while she and Aiden greets Aiden's sister's maids and butlers.
"Miss Ruby! Mr. Terry!"
Both of the owners of the names look at the source of the voice and smiles when they see Aiden waving at them. Their smiles fade when they see who they are with.
In a flash, Mr. Terry runs to Aiden's sister's office and tells her who they are with. Jasmine Matautia looks at Mr. Terry with a blank expression and stands up from her chair.
She goes out of her office and goes straight to the gates to see if what Mr. Terry has said is true.
Ocean blue eyes and hazelnut eyes meet in a distance, making the atmosphere a bit heavy and tense.
For all of the people who know the history between the Santoros and the Matautias, hope that this one will not turn into something that will cause the greatest war in history.
