Meanwhile, back in the Philippines, Koji was stunned and speechless. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He doesn't know if he would accept or not on what Ashley was saying.
However, he decided to just go with the flow and not let his disappointment show on his face that Ashley already has a boyfriend.
He respectfully accepts the hand that Arthur offered and shakes hands. "Nice to meet you! I'm Koji Hanada, you can call me Koji." That's all he said.
After the handshake, he turned around, went back towards Mr. Gusman's side, and sat casually. Once seated, he began speaking with the older man with respect.
A moment later, while they were busy conversing, Ariel told everyone that the food was ready. Every one of them stands up and goes to the dining room.
Ashley and Fely were the last ones to get up, she held Ashley's arms and let others go first. Once everyone was gone, Mrs. Gusman pinched her daughter.
