The Billionaire's Secret ✓

Chapter Six

Chapter 6

"Hi Miss!" A man greeted and his eyes landed on my name tag.

"Miss Roxanne Taylor, secretary ka ni Garrison?" He asks that made me almost roll my eyes.

"Opo sir, may kailangan po kayo?" I asks politely. He put his palms on his stomach.

"Oh, para namang di tayo magkakilala. Can me Calton, silly!" Saad nito na nagpakunot sa noo ko pero agad din itong natauhan at gulat na napatingin saakin. He gulped that made me even wander. Kilala ko ba siya? Kilala niya ba ako?

"Calton?" I asks trying to remember him. Pero wala, nganga.

"Ah, ano, I'm Garry's friend. Tell him I'm here." Saad niya na naglalakbay ang mga mata. I want to ask him more but he was to distant. Lumayo din ito saakin.

Agad ko namang dinamba ang telepono at tinawagan si Garry.

"Hello sir?" I asked trying to make my voice casual.

"Yes?" He coldly respond.

"Someone named Calton wants to see you." Natahimik siya ng bahagya pero maya-maya ay sumagot.

"Let him in." He said and hang up. Agad akong napa buntong hininga.

"Come on here, this way." I said and send him to Garry's office.

"Pang ilang buntong hininga mo na ba 'yan girl? May problema ba?" Tanong ni Dahlia, mula noong magsimula ako sa pagiging sekretarya ni sir Salamander ay naging close ko na si Dahlia. She is my sister and I trust her more than anything.

"Girl, diba nasabi ko sa'yong nag ka amnesia ako?" Tumango ito.

"Pakiramdam ko may tinatago si Ethan saakin." Kumunot ang noo nito.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I doesn't really remember a thing about our relationship. Alam ko lang na kami dahil iyon ang sinabi ng parents ko at niya."

"So?" Halatang  naguguluhan ito.

I stared on my screen.

"Feeling ko... May mali e. There's this someone who told me that I shouldn't trust Ethan. And yes, honestly I somehow begun to be doubtful." Dahlia massage her temples.

"So you mean naniniwala ka kay someone?" She asks in return. Napabuntong hininga ulit ako.

She's right, why am minding what he have said?

Kasi nga diba... I felt like he has a part of my past. Pakiramdam ko alam niya kung ano ang totoo. But I hate him for being so dominant and I hate that I want his body too.

It's wrong. No pre-marital s*x is right in the first place. Mali ang ginagawa namin. Mali ang nagawa namin.

"Alam mo Rox, more than anyone around you you're heart knows what's best and right. Makalimot man ang isipin ang puso ay hindi. Maybe your heart is influence by your mind but I know even a small amount of feeling, mararamdaman mo. Kasi heart can't lie." And I was stuck by his words.

Paano kung ang nararamdaman ng puso ko ay sundin si Garry? Will it make everything right?

I doubt.

"Man, how does it feel that the person you seek for almost two years is right in front of you?" Calton asks while smoking.

The party music of the bar somehow makes Garry relax.

"Of course, it's happy?" Sabat ni Howard.

"No, I bet it's sad.

I mean, just look at him man. Ang pangit niya na." Nang-aasar na saad ni Travis.

Alam niyang pinapagaan ng mga kaibigan ang kaniyang pakiramdam but no one can ever lit up his mood aside from Roxanne. His love.

Nakakatawang isipin na ang limang taon na sinabi ni Ethan sa kaniya ay hindi totoo. Totoong limang taon ng nasa relasyon si Roxanne but it was with him. He was her first everything. Alam ng mundo kung gaano nila kamahal ang isa't-isa pero dahil lang sa pagtakbo niya sa probinsiya nila noon bilang mayor ay nagkagulo ang lahat.

When her father started to feel na siya ang mananalo ay nagalit ito. Pati ang relasyon nila ay pinakielaman nito, dahil noon paman magkaaway na ang Jones at Taylor. Hindi sila pwedeng magsama dahil puputok ang bulkan.

He can still vividly remember it. The noise of the truck bumping on his love's car. He and she are going to see each other when Roxanne meet an accident along the way. Kinausap siya ng ama nito na hindi na magpapakita sa anak. Tinago nila sa si Roxanne at ginawa niya ang lahat upang mahanap ito. Nahanap niya ito dahil sa kaibigang si Salamander. She works for him. Gustong-gusto niyang hagkan at yakapin ang dalaga ngunit hindi pwede. Masasampal siya. Until he meet her inside a bar. Nahanap niya nga ito sa isang bar at inaaya siya nito sa isang mapusok na gabi. At first he was really hesitant, he loves Roxanne and he respect her from his hair up to his toes. But he can't control his self anymore when Roxanne kissed him. Lalaki lang siya at mahal na mahal niya ang dalaga.

It pains him to know how the accident made their love story tragic. Hindi siya maalala ng dalaga. He did everything to know what happened until sumampal sa kaniya na ikakasal na ito.

"Roxanne is engaged." He said and drank his alcohol.

"What?" Almost of them asked.

"De putang Ethan." Ivo murmured.

"I fvcking want to tell her everything men, pero hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. She is too distant at paniwalang-paniwala siya sa gagong lalaking 'yon. She also said she loves him." Mapait niyang saad.

Ivo, Travis, Calton and Howard knows Roxanne. Malapit ang mga ito sa dalaga lalo't ito lang ang natatanging naglalambot kay Garry. Ito nga rin ang nagpahinto sa halos lahat sa kanila sa bisyo nilang sigarilyo. Roxanne hate the smell of cigarettes and her laughter is made them forget how they want a stick. Roxanne is important to them, lalo na kay Garrison na siyang nobyo nito. They never had a break up, tanging ang mga sinungaling lang na nakapaligid sa kanila ang naghiwalay sa kanila.

"Man, I have a plan. I don't know if this will work but you need to grab a chance." Agad na napatingin si Garry sa kaibigang si Calton. Sa kanila, ito ang hindi makawala sa bisyo at isip bata pa. Pero alam nilang ito ang sumunod na pinaka close kay Roxanne aside from Garrison.

"Ano na naman 'yan Cal? Make sure makukuha ni Garry so Roxanne diyan." Howard said that made Calton smile devilishly.

He move closer to them and discuss his idea. Lahat sila ay sumang-ayon sa ideyang iyon. Alam nila na bantay sarado si Roxanne kay Ethan but if involves work, he can't stop her.

"I'll tell this to her tomorrow. Thanks Cal." Saad ni Garry.
