My Substitute Boyfriend -4-

ROSY caught a glimpse of Gabriel and saw his charming smile. She admitted that his smile makes all women fall for him or make your heart flutter, and it makes you thrilled, but for her, it doesn't reach her heart. Her heart beat was normal. 
"We are here," he said. 
Rosy's attention was provoked by what he said. She looked at the building on her left."F&F Auto Dealer," Rosy read in her mind, "is the boss going to buy a new car?" "Why did he ask her to accompany him if he just bought a car?"
"Yes, I'm buying a car," he said, apparently reading Rosy's mind. 
"Sir, this car is still new, isn't it?" For her, it was really new. 
"Yes, but there is a new car that I wanted to buy."
Rosy just nodded. They are really rich; money is worthless to them even if it is millions. 
When Gabriel's car parked Rosy immediately came down. 
Gabriel shook his head at what she did because he wanted to open the car door for her. 
Matthew sat comfortably in a corner. He was wondering to himself now why he couldn't feel bored at all. Moreover, he was not doing anything; he just watched all the people come and go. And he seems to have no intention of leaving. He took his phone and called his friends. So that he has a preoccupation
"What's up, Matthew?" asked the other line. 
"Are you busy, Carlo?"
"No, I'm still at my house." Why?"
"Nothing; I'm here at the main showroom."
"What are you doing there so early, Matthew? It must be a miracle that you even visited today."
"Well, my mind said I would come here today."
"For what, Matthew?"
"Well, no reason, like what I said I just followed my mind to what it wanted to happen, Carlo."
Carlo laughed at what he said. "That's good, Matthew; I hope your mind tells you that you are going to find a woman and marry her so you follow it too," he joked. 
Matthew also laughed." Silly, but when I meet the woman who makes my heart flutter why not. If my mind is telling me that I will marry her. Definitely I will do it, Carlo."
"Are you sure, Matthew? You're still too picky when it comes to women. I'm not really sure if that day comes," he said because he knew his friend. His heart is too picky for women. 
"I think so, Carlo."
"Yeah, me too. I think so, Matthew. Okay, let's just meet up tonight as usual."
"Sure, but don't you really want to come here even for a moment, Carlo?"
"No, you're still there, aren't you?"
"Okay, see you later, bye." He turned off the cellphone and stood up to look at the newly arrived Rolls Royce Phantom. He also liked this car. He walked towards the car. But suddenly, he stopped walking and looked at the glass door, and he frowned. Because the woman who just entered was so familiar to him.
The manager welcomed their new client. 
Matthew frowned even more because the manager was taking care of the newly arriving customer. Maybe the man always bought a car for them. He looked at the man. He can tell by the way he looks that he has American blood. Well, it seems like he is also from his mother's side. When she married his Filipino father, he stayed in the Philippines and resigned from being a supermodel. He walked near them to get a good look at the face of the woman, who seemed really familiar to him. 
Rosy looked around, only seeing fancy cars. When the eyes fell on a man, that meant that he was looking at her. Wait, maybe not her or him are looking at the car? But she doesn't think he is. and he frowned and looked seriously at their place. But he's handsome, even with a serious look. She turned her gaze to the others; she didn't know him, even though he was super handsome. 
Now Matthew sure knows who's that woman. He can't be wrong. That woman who stole a kiss from him last night—will he ever forget it? No, even on her lips, there was an alcohol taste. He could taste it on her lips; it was sweet. Her lips were good. In this really small world, he ran into her again. Maybe she doesn't remember him because she was so drunk that night. But of course, she can remember that she kissed someone. 
Matthew looked at the man who was with her. And now he realized he knew him. Yes, he was Gabriel. He had seen it at the parties he went to with his mother sometimes. He is curious about why the woman is with him; is she his girlfriend? Oh no she's not, because he sees him with different girls at parties. He can say as a man too that he was a playboy. So, he was a playboy too? For him, no, he's not because he chose a woman to be with him and he didn't have a girlfriend. He walked near them and pretended to look at the car. And he glanced at the woman.
Gabriel noticed the man who was standing near them. He took a glance at a man. and he saw that he was looking at his companion. as if he knew that kind of stare. But he can't blame him if he attracted that fast to the woman with him. He takes a look at Rosy. Well, he can say that she is so simple that she takes care of herself as well as her clothes. Her outfit now was so cute; she was wearing a denim skirt that was fitted past the knee and had a slit on the side. It was worn with a white bakuna-style blouse that was taped in the front. And her foot was in a white sneaker. And her hair passed until her shoulders, which she let loose. It's perfect for her—simple but so gorgeous to look at. Even he. He was attached to her when he saw her earlier. And she was different from all the women he had dated. Yeah, maybe he will ask her to date him if the right time comes. He came close to her—so close that even a wind could not pass—to show the man that don't stare at her because she's my woman. Well, he can because she was with him. 
Rosy was surprised at what the boss did, and she backed away. Well, she'll be able to smell all his nice scent if they're that close to each other. 
Gabriel's approach is constant every time Rosy retreats. He smiled secretly at what they were doing, even though his eyes were on the car. He knew she was moving backward, so he followed her step by step. 
The manager smiled at what he saw. It's like the two are dancing cha-cha. He didn't want to ask his client if he wanted to test drive the car. He didn't want to distract the two. Then he was sure that his client would buy the car because he buys a new car every year. especially if it's the latest model. 
As Rosy backed away, she didn't realize there was someone behind her. 
Matthew didn't move at all when it seemed like the woman was moving backwards.
As Rosy retreated again, she felt someone's back. 
Matthew didn't even move away, even though he knew the woman would hit him. Intentionally, he held the woman's shoulder and said, "Be careful, Miss."
Oh, my goodness, she didn't know what to do, even though he still had her clothes on. She could feel the warmth of the palm of the person holding her shoulder. She suddenly faced this person. Her eyes widened because it turned out to be the handsome man with the serious look. 
"Are you okay, Miss?" Matthew asked the woman. 
Rosy just looked at the man. If her boss Gabriel's voice is a baritone, well, is this man even more baritone than that, which makes you fall in love? 
Gabriel quickly moved to rescue her from the man. "Are you okay, Rosy?" He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her carefully."Are you hurt?"
Rosy didn't know who to answer to. She just looked at the two handsome men. She feels like Rapunzel at this moment. 
Gabriel looked at the man. His eyes seem to say. Stop flirting with her, because she's my woman. That's what he saw earlier when he held Rosy. 
Matthew looked at the man staring at him. He's not stupid; he knows what he means by his gaze. Is that woman his girlfriend? He thinks not. If she's his girlfriend, why is she keeping a distance from him just now?
The manager approached Gabriel because he thought there would be tension between the boss and their client. "Sir, by the way, I want you to meet my boss, the president of F&F Auto Dealer," he said. 
"Oh, he's?" He pulled Rosy and put her behind his back, like he was trying to hide her. Then he stepped closer to Matthew."Nice meeting you; I'm Gabriel Magno." He extended his hand to him. 
Well, Matthew knows him even though they didn't meet at a businessman. He took his hand."Matthew Montefiore, nice to meet you too, Gabriel." 
The two men shook hands tightly. They seem to be groping each other. 
"Ah, sir, you want to talk about the car, and if you want to buy it, you can drive it first," the manager interpreted them. That's why their attention turned to the man. 
"Sure," Gabriel responded. 
"Martin, assist him nicely, okay," Matthew said to the manager. 
"Absolutely, sir," he replied. 
"Rosy, hop in." Gabriel opened the car door. 
Rosy was reluctant; in fact, she didn't want to go with him. He just test-drove the car. Also, it's tiring to ride, even if you're just sitting. "Sir, I will stay here."
Because what Matthew heard, he smiled secretly. It's good that she didn't want to come with him. Because he wanted to talk or recall what she did to him at the bar last night. If she can't remember.
No, you must come with me. Get in the car now, Rosy!" he authoritative command.
Rosy suddenly looked at the boss. And her boss looked at her seriously. Whoa, why does she act like he's her father? But she just obeyed what he said, and she rode because she might go to work on Monday. And she won't be allowed to go inside anymore because she's fired already, possibly because he's the president of the company. 
Matthew was secretly cursed. He knew something wasn't right with him like he was a jealous boyfriend at this moment. He cursed silently. For him, this is something new. And he just followed them as he looked at the car going away. e
