Valeria woke up, as she grabbed her phone she read the message that Lexi have sent her. Out of anger and frustration Valeria ignore the message.
She get out of her bed and prepare breakfast for herself. It was a long day for her so she make sure to eat a lot as she needed energy for the day.
"Good morning". Sabay na bati ng mag pinsan na si Maria at Isabella ng maka labas si Valeria.
Bumati naman pabalik si Valeria saka tuluyang lumabas upang mag intay ng sasakyan papasok sa trabaho.
Halata sa mukha ng dalaga ang kalungkutan, pugto ang mga mata nito dahil sa pag iyak, lupaypay ang katawan at tila walang gana sa trabaho.
Sa restaurant ngayon naka pwesto ang dalaga, nag iinspeksyon kagaya ng nakasanayan.
"Madame, y a-t-il quelque chose qui vous dérange ?". (Ma'am is there anything bothering you?) Tanong ng isa sa mga chef ng mapansin ang naka tulalang si Valeria sa gilid.
"Oh, je vais bien ne t'inquiète pas". (Oh, I'm fine don't worry) Sagot naman ni Valeria, iniwan na ito ng chef ngunit maka ilang minuto ay bumalik ito na may dalang pagkain.
"The head chef wants me to hand you this, he said you should take some rest". The man said.
Valeria smile for a little while. She took the food and take a seat at one of the vacant table.
For a moment she forgot about her problem and didn't overthink. She was just there happily eating.
Sa kabilang banda nandoon si Michael patagong tinitignan ang dalaga, walang masyadong gawain sa kusina dahil tapos na din ang rush hour kaya sa kaunting pagkakataon nagkaroon siya ng chance na masilayan ang kagandahan ni Valeria.
" Pourquoi ne viens-tu pas vers elle ?". (Why don't you come to her?) Michael's assistant chef ask."Lui parler".(Talk to her.) Udyok pa nito kay Michael.
"Je ne veux plus être rejeté. Je vais bien en l'admirant de loin." (I don't want to be rejected again. I'm fine by just admiring her from a far.) Michael answered and get back on the kitchen.
Michael seems like a perfect man that every woman would want to have, but no.
Michael was the epitome of perfection in the eyes of many. With his charming smile, impeccable style, and successful career, he seemed to embody the ideal partner that every woman would desire. His wit and charisma drew people to him effortlessly, leaving a trail of admirers in his wake. However, beneath the surface of this seemingly flawless exterior lay a man whose past rejections painted a different picture.
Despite his outward appeal, he had faced numerous rejections from women who, for various reasons, could not see a future with him. Some found him too focused on his career, others felt intimidated by his confidence, and a few simply did not feel a romantic spark. These rejections, though surprising to those who saw him as a catch, had left a mark on Michael's self-esteem and perception of relationships.
In the eyes of those who knew him well, Michael was a man of depth and complexity, far beyond the surface-level perfection he projected. His experiences of rejection had humbled him, teaching him valuable lessons about humility, empathy, and the unpredictability of love. While he may have been turned down by some, those who took the time to truly know him saw a man with flaws, insecurities, and a genuine desire for a meaningful and lasting relationship.
