Chapter 3 Engagement Party

"Ready bro?" Christian asked me.

I furrowed. Ready for what?

He then laughed. "Ready for her drama?"

I gave him a death glare.

They laughed while we went inside the venue which made me pissed. I really am praying that Samantha will not make a scene simply because I'm still single. Sometimes that girl crazy antics is so hard to understand.

I saw my mom the moment I entered the venue. She's talking to a lady, I think she's younger than me by a year or two. She's beautiful with her navy blue A-line deep V-neck and strap cross back knee length dress and an open toe silver heels. She reminds me of someone.

"Son I'm glad that you are already here." My mom said.

"Hi Mom!" I greeted her and kissed her cheek.

"Hi Auntie!" My friends said their greetings to my mom.

"Hi boys!" My mom greeted them back.

"Aubree, I'd like you to meet my son and the new CEO of Inarez group of companies Gavin and his friends Christian, Vince and Drake. Boys this is Aubree Custodio, the sales head of Geurero Ad Agency." My mom said as she introduced us to the girl she was talking to.

"You look familiar." Christian butted in.

I agree. I told myself.

"I second the motion. I think we've met you before" Drake added.

"Yes. We were schoolmates during high school. I'm Ms. Chad remember?" she said.

My eyes widen. Yes its her! "M-ms Chad?"

"Yes. Mr. Korea right?" She said while smiling at me.

I felt myself blushed. "Y-yes."

"Wait boys what's with Ms. Chad and Mr. Korea?" My mom asked curiously.

"Auntie let me explain it to you. Remember during high school we always joined the United Nation event in our school?" Christian started his speech.

My mom nodded.

"Gav was Mr. Korea while Aubree was Ms. Chad. Since we don't know her name at that time and I guess she also don't know our names we call each other by the country we are representing." Christian explained.

"Oh I see. Small world." My mom said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Indeed." That's the only thing that I can say.

I still can't believe that Ms. Chad is right in front of me.

"Boys I need to excuse myself I need to talk to my friends. You guys catch up with Aubree. Bye Aubree." and my mom left us.

"How are you Ms. Chad I mean Aubree?" Christian started to asked her. They are kind of close then.

"I'm good. I see that you guys are still together." She commented.

She were really fun to talked with. Well that is based on how she talked with Christian when we were in high school.

"You knew us?" I curiously asked.

"Of course! Who wouldn't?! Your group is the most popular during my freshmen and sophomore years. Almost all my classmates has a crush in one of you." She explained.

I suddenly smiled from her answer. I'm just happy to know that she knew our group. Though I'm very aware of our popularity back then but I really don't care about it. But now I want to be thankful because of that Ms. Chad knew me even though it was just my name.

"And what about you? Who was your crush among us?" Drake asked while looking at me.

I suddenly got nervous. Does she had a crush on one of us?

"So cocky! I think the air conditioner is too cold here." Aubree teased back.

We all laughed from her statement.

"You said earlier that almost all your classmates had a crush on one of us, so I was wondering if you are also one of them." Drake explained.

She smirked. "Sorry to disappoint you Mr. China but I never had a crush in anyone of you."

I am not shocked with her answer. As I said, she's different. She's not the kind of girl that easily got attracted with looks.

"Ouch. But its okay maybe someday?" Drake flirty hint.

She just rolled her eyes. "Whatever Drake."

We were in the middle of catching up when Sam went to us together with her fiancé. I saw Ms. Chad shocked reaction upon seeing them that made me furrowed.

"Gav!" Sam greeted me then she kiss me on my cheek.

She also greeted the group and she kiss them on their cheek.

"Guys I like you to meet my fiancee Sebastian Dela Rama." Sam introduced the guy beside her.

"Hi." He greeted us.

"So guys how are you? What about you Gav? Don't tell me until now you still don't have a girlfriend?" Sam said.

She started showing me her guilt face. Oh no she's starting again.

"No Sam. I already have a girlfriend." Sam got shocked from what I said.

Even my friends were shocked.

I got panic when she started to show me her guilt face, tears welled up on her eyes.

Sometimes I'm wondering why didn't she became an actress. She is really good at that.

"R-really? That's great. Wait don't tell me she is your girlfriend?" I looked at the girl Sam is referring to.

It was Aubree.

"Yes." Then I hold Aubree's hand.

"What?" Aubree said, shocked is visible on her face.

I ignore her reaction. "Sam meet my girlfriend Aubree Custodio, baby meet Sam and his fiancee Sebastian."

I saw her swallowed hard. I suddenly got nervous because she might spoiled my acts.

I hope not.

"Really Bree he is your boyfriend?" Sebastian butted in.

I saw her swallowed hard again and she looks pale.

I furrowed.

I knew it! They knew each other. I told myself.

"Y-yes." Aubree answered.

I sighed in relief. Good thing that she just go with the flow. But my forehead still creased.

They knew each other. I'm bothered by their reaction. What is her relationship with this Sebastian guy?
