Hello?

Yeah, I’m on the way.

I won’t stand you up.

I’m excited to see you.

Of course, I’m excited to see you too.

You better be.

Your place is far from Manila.

The distance better be worth it.

Of course.

I’ll definitely make your wait worth it.

I’m in front of the bar already.

Yeah, I’m coming in.

April?

- Hi! Mr. Sanchez? - Hi.

Nice to meet you.

You’re beautiful.

Thank you, sir.

No wonder you chose this place for your resort.

The way the light hits the water is just right.

Especially the pool.

To be honest, I really wanted to go for a swim.

Is swimming your hobby?

Do you like to travel?

Yes.

Then we’ll get along.

I’m very hands-on when it comes to my projects.

That’s why I want to get to know and talk to our business partners.

I also want partners like that.

Someone who's hands-on.

I see.

So, our plan is inspired by French colonial villas.

The likes of those in Hanoi...

But more modern.

That seems...

Too much.

It’s not the vibe that I want.

That’s fine, sir.

There’s always a way to fix things.

What are you doing?

Is this the culture of your firm?

Sir, I’m so sorry. I thought this was what-

Girl... I’m gay.

And I have no interest in you.

I’m not into oysters.

Sir, I’m so sorry. Can you give me a second chance?

I need this.

But I’m not saying that the deal is off.

You're not the one I want to talk to.

I’ll speak directly to your boss.

Sir.

Sir!

Finally, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.

I was only thinking of you.

You know I had to get ready before coming here.

That’s why I’m in such a hurry because I waited for you for so long.

Hey, wait, hold on. Someone might see us.

Shhh...

Stop talking. Just stay here.

Oh shit...

Shit.

Oh shit...

Shit.

There, there...

Love?

- Lily? - Shit, who's that?

Love?

Lily!

I forgot something.

Love?

Lily!

I forgot something, did you see it?

What's this?

I can explain.

Damn it!

Bastard!

Come back here!

Thanks a lot, bro. You saved me.

- Good thing it fits you. - I know.

You're crazy, you know?

Is your order complete, ma'am? Alright then.

Do you have chaser?

I already put one earlier.

Sorry something happened a while ago.

What happened, bro?

Her boyfriend caught me.

That's crazy, bro.

Man, it's a good thing I got away.

Even though I was naked.

Hello?

What did you do?

Why did Mr. Sanchez asked to remove you from the project?

What did he say?

He didn’t say anything.

Then, nothing.

April, just tell me.

I need to explain this to my father.

April!

Sorry, okay? I did something.

What did you do?

He looked bored during my presentation.

So, I tried to convince him.

What did you do?

I tried to seduce him a bit.

But not a lot.

Just a little foot action.

Seriously? You did that?

Mark...

I did it for you.

For the firm.

I want your parents to be proud of me.

I feel that your father is always judging me.

That you only recruited me because I’m your girlfriend.

Because of that...

You proved that they were right all along.

If my father finds out,

he’ll think that you don’t use your head and you’re all looks.

I'm sorry.

I need to think of a strong reason to explain your stupidity.

I’ll call you again once I’m ready.

I don’t know what I might say to you right now.

Waiter!

Bro, I'll handle it.

Okay, thank you.

Yes, ma’am?

Do you have any nuts?

Nuts? We’re all out. But their calamari is the best here.

Okay, calamari then.

Okay.

Alright... Hey, bro.

- Calamari, one order. - Calamari?

Thank you, bro.

I thought you were staff here.

You don't work here?

Ah, no, but my friend owns this place.

And I know the waiters here.

Are you alone? I’ll join you.

Go ahead.

So...

You’re all alone on this table.

Are you going through a break-up?

No.

I came from a business meeting.

But I realized...

I’m not good at it.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Here’s your order.

Thank you, bro.

- Nice, thank you, thank you. - No problem.

Excuse me.

There's no fork?

No, no. It’s fine. We're good, bro.

Do you know the best way to eat calamari?

Like this.

Here.

Wear it like this...

Then bite it.

Whoops. Keep going.

See? I told you it’s the best, right?

I don’t taste any difference.

At least you tried it.

I'm Junie, by the way.

April.

That’s almost empty. Do you want more?

I’m drunk.

I’ve been drinking since earlier.

Let’s just go get some air.

Alright.

Hey. Don’t forget your things.

Here.

Brad, put our bill on my tab.

Okay bro, thank you.

- Thank you. - Take care.

Did you come here to pick up girls?

Of course not.

Do I look like a perv to you?

I came here to think.

I'm planning to propose to my girlfriend.

Why do you need to take so long to think

when you only need to propose?

Really?

You think it's easy?

It's hard!

It’s only hard if you’re not sure of the one you’re marrying.

You know what?

With how long we’ve been together, we’re more than sure.

We’ve been together since high school

and my parents have been pressuring me for a long time now.

Because my girlfriend and her family are rich.

They are from Visayas and they own a land in Boracay.

So, even though we often argue and fight

because of the differences in our way of speaking,

well, my family loves her and I love her.

So there, she might grow tired of me because of the long wait.

Anyway...

How about you?

Why are you here?

I’m closing a construction deal.

- I see. - A new resort.

But it didn’t work out.

I’m such an idiot.

I thought our client wanted a bit of flirting.

So, I did.

How?

I seduced him a bit.

How exactly?

Like this.

A bit of foot action.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

He didn’t like it?

That’s the twist.

I’m not his type.

- He likes guys. - Really?

If only I had met you earlier, maybe I could have offered you to him.

Wow.

Maybe the outcome would’ve been better.

Why did you have to do that?

Don’t you think you’re good enough?

I just wanted to close the deal.

I don’t care if they think I’m skilled or not.

You know what?

My boss is my boyfriend.

And his dad is the senior partner of the firm.

I just wanted to impress him.

The question is...

Was he impressed?

I don't know.

My boyfriend said he was going to lie to protect me.

He's so sweet, right?

But maybe...

His dad would be even more impressed

once he sees how good I swim.

Swimming?

Sorry, I’ve been wanting to swim since earlier.

Come on!

[laughing, chattering]

- Sorry. Does it hurt? - Come here.

Hey!

Okay.

Slowly, slowly.

Close your eyes. Don’t peek, okay?

No, I’m not! I’m not peeking.

- Really? - Where are you taking me?

Wait, we're almost there.

Just walk on the right side.

Go straight ahead.

- Really? - Almost there.

- I might trip. - No, I got you.

You know I always catch you, right?

There’s a chair there.

Can you feel it?

Close your eyes. Close your eyes.

- Where? Where? - Right there.

Here, here. Slowly, slowly.

Nice.

- Wait, don’t open your eyes. - Yeah, okay.

Wait, wait. Hold on.

- Are you ready? - Yes, I am.

Open your eyes.

Oh my god.

Actually, babe.

I know we’ve been together for so long, so...

I’ve decided to ask you to...

Will you marry me?

Yes, I do.

Give me your hand.

Wow.

I love you.

- I love you so much. - I love you.

- Babe. - Yes?

I have something to show you.

What is it? Let me see.

Open it.

What is this?

I want you to put that on me too.

It's so beautiful, right?

That’s from my dad.

It’s my mom’s engagement ring.

Don’t you like the one I gave you?

Of course, I like it.

But this is my dream engagement ring.

I see.

It's so pretty, right?

Put it on me.

Okay, sure.

There you go.

See, it looks better.

Yeah right.

Babe.

- Yes? - Aren’t we going to celebrate tonight?

We celebrated already.

What other celebration do you want?

I want you to make me feel how much you love me.

Huh?

Earlier when you proposed,

didn’t you say that you love me?

So, now,

I want you...

To make me feel that you love me.

Take this off.

Hurry up!

Wait.

You’re so slow.

Harder!

Ouch!

Be gentle.

Shit!

It hurts!

Ouch!

Damn you!

What was that?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I was just in a bad mood because of earlier.

It feels like...

You just brushed off my effort.

What the hell, Juny!

It’s just a ring!

Can’t you lower your pride?

My god, Juny.

You've known my family since high school, right?

Now you still get angry at me when I want something you can't give?

I want a nice ring.

What's wrong with that?

I've given you all the things you want.

You wanted a restaurant,

so I asked my dad for help so you could get it.

Even though that’s not my dream.

That’s how it works, Juny.

In every relationship,

partners should help each other.

You can’t just hold that against me.

Hold it against you?

It's not like that, Juny.

I’m just telling the truth.

You know what?

I don’t want to fight over this.

Are you almost done?

I have a lot to do.

I’ve talked to dad.

This project in Sampaloc will be perfect for you.

April, listen to me.

I'm listening.

But hearing you order me around, turns me on.

What else?

What else do you want me to do, sir?

These are the plans for Sampaloc.

Oh, is that so?

This is my plan for you.

Here.

Do you like it?

Later, please.

Why later, sir?

April, someone might see us.

If they caught us, then they could have a good time too.

We can't do it here.

Please sir, just this once.

Excuse me, sir.

Babe.

The guard saw us. It's embarrassing.

What will he think? That I use the office as a motel?

So, what?

You own this place.

You can do whatever you want.

Why can't you understand?

My parents worked hard to build this company.

Don't you get it?

Sorry.

Maybe I'm just hungry.

Let's eat.

Do you want to eat?

Go ahead. I still have something to do.

Are you mad?

No.

It's also my fault. I gave in to you again.

Let's just forget about this babe.

Let's just eat something good.

I'm really hungry.

Can't you go ahead? I still have a lot to do.

APRIL: Is there more? Can I get a taste?

JUNY: Restaurant's closed.

JUNY: But I can make some for you. Chef's special.

APRIL: Really? I'm so hungry.

JUNY: Come here. To "Kitchen in the Sky."

JUNY: At One Silverland Tower's rooftop.

APRIL: Oh, we're in the same building. I work at the eight floor!

JUNY: There you go! Come on up!

Is this your restaurant?

It looks great.

It's not mine, technically.

I may be the head chef,

but it's still from her parents.

What are you still doing here, if the restaurant is already closed?

Nothing much.

Just waiting for you.

Joke.

I'm just testing some recipes.

Here, try this.

Try this.

So?

How was it?

Good. What is it?

Chicken wrapped in betel leaves.

Then grilled.

Do you serve this in your restaurant?

I'll order.

It tastes good.

May says it's too exotic.

She finds the betel leaves strange.

She thinks no one has heard of it.

Too bad. I like the taste of it.

Maybe in the future, once I make the decisions in my own restaurant.

But for now,

I should agree with everything May's family says.

Sorry.

I asked you to come here in the middle of the night

to hear my rants.

All my friends are friends with May,

so...

I have no one to talk to who wouldn't judge me.

It's okay.

I also don't have anyone to talk to.

You too. If you need someone to talk to, I'm available anytime.

Joke, I'm not available anytime.

But I will try to make time for you.

Okay?

It's really good.

Here, there's more.

You know where else?

Here, too.

Oh no, what to do?

What about that?

Don't worry, it's been broken for a while now.

Why did you bring me here?

No reason.

This is where I dream.

Do you need to see the stars?

As they say,

you should reach for the stars.

Because even if you fail, you'll still fall on the roof.

I'm scared to dream.

Don't you want your own firm?

It's hard to dream too high.

It will hurt if you fall.

Look there.

It should be like that,

when you're dreaming.

Sky's the limit.

What is your dream, really?

My dream is...

I want to own a building I can be proud of.

It doesn't need to be very high.

As long as it's beautiful.

The kind that's pleasant to the eyes.

After all, not everything is about the size, right?

That's right.

I also want an entire city,

that I designed myself.

I hope I can open a restaurant in one of your buildings.

Hopefully.

Aren't we going to talk about this?

Do you want to talk about this?

I don't want to.

I like this more.

With no expectations,

no one gets hurt.

How about you?

Do you want to talk about it?

I don't want to.

No promises, no chains.

What about your fiancé?

I don't want to talk about her.

Why?

This is the only moment I have for myself.

Every corner of my life,

she's always there.

That's why whatever we have here,

she shouldn't be a part of it.

This is the only thing I have for myself.

Okay.

For this hospital project in Tanauan,

project lead will be Engineer Ibanez and Architect Mateo.

For San Pablo project,

lead engineer will be Mark, architect will be Architect Bobot.

Brother, April closed that deal.

Dad talked to the client.

He chose the staff.

If you want to change it, talk to dad.

Do you have any other questions?

None?

Then let's check on the blueprints.

Thank you.

What happened, Mark?

I thought that was mine.

There's nothing I can do.

Dad wants someone who's been longer in the industry.

But it's impossible that your brother had nothing to do with it.

You didn't speak up either.

I thought you wanted to stand on your own feet.

And now you're asking me to do something?

What is it that you want?

You're still part of the project, just not the lead.

You always want to come first.

But I'm the one who dealt with this client.

- I was the one who convinced him. - Well, thank you.

Thank you for doing your job.

You even got a bonus for it, right?

But this isn't about the money.

My god, April.

Can you get over yourself?

Think about the company that pays you.

Learn to wait.

Not everything can be dealt through flirting.

Where are you going?

It's none of your business.

April!

I'm so sick of you, Mark.

What drama is this?

Why does it seem like I'm the one at fault?

Am I the one who messed up?

Was I the one who seduced that gay man?

All of that was you.

Who will trust you after all that you showed?

My only idiocy was to trust you.

I wish that brain of yours finally catches up to your ego.

Damn you!

You only have a career because your dad owns the company.

Without him, we're both just losers.

But you're only here thanks to me.

And I'm also leaving because of you.

I'd rather starve than see your face again.

Jerk!

Move!

APRIL: Can we meet?

Chef.

Yes?

I checked the inventory yesterday,

and it seems we're missing a few kilos of rice and meat.

Alright, I'll check it later.

I just need to go somewhere, okay?

Yes, chef.

JUNY: Ok.

Are you okay?

I read your message earlier.

What am I supposed to do now?

I'm so stupid.

Should I just go back?

And apologize to Mark and his dad?

Hey, come on.

They are not the only architecture firm here in the Philippines.

Besides...

Just because you were rejected before,

doesn't mean you'll get rejected again.

I also broke up with Mark.

Okay, but why?

He doesn't believe in me.

That's fine.

Good morning, ma'am.

Where's chef?

He left.

Ah, okay. How are you guys?

Any problems in the kitchen?

I already told chef, but I'll tell you too.

We're missing certain supplies like rice and meat.

Hold on.

Didn't you check the CCTV?

Ma'am, that's been broken for a while now.

I've had that fixed.

Haven't I told you?

No, ma'am.

- Is it really fixed? - Yes, for a while now.

Long story short,

you haven't checked it because you think it's still broken.

Sorry, ma'am.

Alright, then let's check the CCTV.

Check the date.

Yes, ma'am.

Who's that?

Do you know her?

- No, ma'am. - No, ma'am.

Play it.

Excuse me.

Babe.

What are you doing here?

Damn you, Juny!

You used this restaurant as some kind of motel.

Don't you have any shame?

What are you talking about?

Don't treat me like an idiot.

Your disgusting affair was all caught in the CCTV.

How could you do this to me?

Babe, I know I did wrong, but…

But what?

Damn it, Juny!

Why would you propose to me if you were just going to mess around?

Babe, I love you so much, but…

You're already a grown-up,

but you still think like a child.

That's why you can't achieve anything in life.

You have so many dreams,

but you're weak-willed.

You don't have discipline.

Unlike me.

You've wasted a good opportunity.

I thought we're good.

Babe, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Apologize to yourself.

You just ruined your future,

because of lust.

Babe.

Babe, I'm sorry.

Babe!

What if...

The world brought us together to...

To be each other's comfort.

To console each other because of the problems we also made.

Doesn't that make us look like idiots?

It makes sense, right?

I mean, why would we meet if the universe didn't have a plan for us?

Do you want to stay here?

I don't have anywhere else to go to.

Did we make a mistake?
