I Am Even Thinking Of Giving You A Position At The Company

She never wanted anything, but for them to be happy. She saw a white car behind them and she was shocked. She wondered who owns the car. They entered the resturant and Carissa saw her mother staring into space. She hurriedly walked over to her mother and waved her hand on front of her face, but Elvira did not move. Not until she snapped her fingers did Elvira come back down to earth. She was surprised to see her daughter in front of her.

"What are you thinking of?" Carissa asked.

"Where did your brother get that car. I have never seen it with him" she lowered her voice and asked.

Carissa turned back to look at the car her mother was talking about. She raised her eyebrows and turned to her mother. "That car? it belongs to kuya"

Elvira was stunned. She opened her mouth in surprise, then shook her head. "No. I don't believe you"

"If you don't, then ask kuya yourself" Carissa smiled and turned to the direction Leonel was sitting.

Meanwhile...

Leonel spotted a corner at the restaurant and went there to sit with Dyosa. As he sat down, he began to discuss something with Dyosa. They looked happy chatting together. Carissa pulled her mother's hand and walked towards Leonel. Leonel raised his head and saw his mother. He stood up and smiled. "Nay"

"Who owns that car outside?" she asked and pointed at the white BMW parked outside. Leonel looked at the car and said, "It's mine. That's my car. Why did you ask?"

Elvira could not believe what she heard him say. It was his car for real. She looked at her son and asked, "How did you get the car?"

"One of the cars my adopted parents bought for me"

"One of the cars? Elvira was surprised. "Does that mean you have a lots of cars?"

Leonel nodded, "Yes"

Elvira almost fell while standing. Her son is so rich.

"I was actually planning to give you one of my cars, so you can drive it everyday to work" Leonel added.

Elvira ears could not believe what she was hearing. She will soon have a car. She looked at her son with a teary eyes and said, "Thank you anak"

Leonel hugged his mother tightly and said, "It's nothing nay. Don't thank me..." he hesitated. "I am even thinking of giving you and tita(Dyosa's mother) a position at Cabelas corporation"

Elvira pulled away from her son and waved her hands in the air. "No, don't do that. I am not qualified to get a job there"

"In my heart, you are qualified" his sweet words made Elvira cry the more. Leonel pulled his mother closer and wiped her tears. "Don't cry, nay"

She looked at him and said, "They are tears of joy"

Leonel smiled and hugged her again.

Dyosa and Carissa looked at each other and said at the same time. "Awww" Carissa picked up a paper tissue and wiped the tears coming out from her eyes. "These two are making me cry" then she passed the paper tissue to Dyosa. Dyosa collected it, wiped her tears and said, "Me too"

Just then, Isabelle stepped in and saw the four of them crying. "Do you really want to act a drama? Then go and act it somewhere else. This is a restaurant"

Dyosa wiped her tears and walked towards her mother. She hooked her arm around her mother's and said, "Kuya Leonel said he will give you and tita a position at cabelas corporations"

The spoon on Isabel's hand fell making a short deep sound. "Wh... What did you say?" her voice was trembling.

"Now I have to repeat myself again" Dyosa shook her head, frustrated. "I said kuya Leonel will give you and tita a position at cabelas corporations"

"Ah..." Isabelle let out a scream before she realised that she is in a resturant. She immediately rushed to hug Leonel. She started to cry too. Leonel helplessly patted her back gently. "Does that mean I won't work here anymore?" she asked as she pulled away from Leonel.

Leonel nodded and she hugged him back again. "Thank you so much Leonel. You are such a good person" she said, still crying. Leonel smiled and patted her back again.

"Tita, nay, go and get your things. We are going home" leonel said.

"Now? But I have..."

"Nay, listen to kuya, okay? Go and get your things. We are leaving and you should also tell the manager that you are going to resign"

"Not now anak. Can you both please give us some time? We will talk to the manager and resign"

"Fine. Do what ever you want" Carissa said and waved her hands.

They were coming out of the restaurant when they met Marco going inside.

"Elvira, long time no see" Marco smiled as he said so.

"Yes, it's been a long time" Elvira smiled back too.

Ever since Elvira turned him down, she has never heard anything from him. He has also not been coming to the restaurant to eat. Elvira felt guilty, but she had to do that. It's not her fault that she does not want to love any man.

Marco also greeted Carissa, Dyosa and Isabelle.

"What are you doing here Marco?" Elvira asked.

"Em... I came to eat. I miss eating here and you... Where are you going to?"

"Home. I am going home"

"Home? Is it not too early to go home?" he laughed.

"Of course not"

Marco turned to Leonel who was standing beside Elvira. He thought, 'I have seen this face before, but I don't know where' he shifted his gaze towards Elvira and asked, "Who is he?"

"Him? He is my brother" Carissa answered for Elvira and she placed her hand on Leonel's shoulder.

Marco was puzzled. "Your brother?"

"Yes, he is my brother. He is mother's son"

Marco glanced at Leonel, surprised. "You once told me that your brother died fourteen years ago"

"We thought he died, but he was alive. He was saved from the fire and taken abroad for treatment. We got to know that he is Leonel few weeks ago" Carissa explained, still smiling.

Marco looked at Elvira and she nodded.

He now understand why Leonel looks so familiar because he is Leonel and he looks exactly like his father. He has seen Nicolas' photo when he went to their house.

"Nice to meet you Leonel. I am Marco" Marco said and extended his hand towards Leonel. Leonel immediately received his hand and smiled, "Nice to meet you Mr. Marco"

"You look just exactly like your father" Marco said and Leonel smiled. Macro continued. "When I first saw your mother, I fell in love with her and I told her my feelings for her, but do you know what your mother did?" Leonel shook his head. "She turned me down and told me that she can't love any man apart from your dad. I felt sad, but what can I do?"

Leonel turned to look at his mother with a surprised look. He had never expected his mother to turn down a rich man like Marco.

"I admire your mom's love for your father. Even though your father is dead, she still did not marry anybody"

Leonel looked at his mother and smiled.

"Anyways, I will be leaving now. Take good care of your mother, okay?" Marco patted Leonel's back as he walked passed him.

When they got home. Leonel and Carissa went to their grandma to greet her and explained what happened today to her. She smiled and hugged them.
