Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 31

Ugly thoughts filled me. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that I'm hurting because he's hurting, tol. It was all clear in my head now.

He didn't told me because he knew how I hated my father so much. Alam niyang masasaktan ako kapag sinabi niya sa akin. I opened up too much that he knew how will I feel.

But still, I don't want to buy that. If he's honest and serious about me, he would have told me that even if it will hurt me.

His face flashed in my mind the time that when I ran away from him. Puno ng takot ang mata niya habang pinapanood akong iwanan siya sa malamig na dalampasigan sa gitna ng gabi. I ran just like a coward woman. Takot na harapin ang totoo.

Maaga akong nagising dahil sa tawag ni Reign. I didn't had enough sleep and my eyes is puffy. I have an early appointment today. Tumakbo ako sa shower at minadali ang pagbihis dahil galit na ang manager ko sa akin.

I wore a white lingerie as a top, a black tight jeans, a leather jacket and a pump. Nakasampay sa balikat ko ang leather jacket at wala akong planong isuot iyon ng maayos dahil maiinitan ako. I combed my hair, wore a nude lipstick and I'm good to go.

Bumaba ako at kaagad napahinto nang makitang may ibang tao sa bahay. My eyes flew at Rashid who's standing and fixing the buttons of his polo shirt. A woman wearing a spaghetti dress with her back fully seen is sitting on my couch.

Tumaas ang kilay ko. Rashid surveyed my body and I saw annoyance for a while. Umangat ang tingin niya sa akin.

"She's Ms. Ramos, my client." he said even if I didn't ask.

My eyes flew at the woman. She's like years younger than Rashid, kaedad ko siguro. Her breast is almost showing and the way she sit, I can easily peek at her butt. Humugot ako ng buntong hininga.

Client, huh? Bakit mukhang mga bigatin yata ang mga kliyente niya? To the point that she doesn't look client to me.

"You must be Gian Bryn." she stood up and smiled at me. "I hope you don't mind me visiting Atty. Añonuevo. I really have to rush an errand, hindi na ako nakapaghintay kaya dumiretso na ako dito."

I smiled a bit and nodded. Nilingon ko si Rashid at nanlisik ang mata sa kaniya. What errand is it, huh? Hindi makapaghintay? Client mo mukha mo, Añonuevo.

"I have to go." paalam ko sabay ngiti.

"Where?" Rashid asked, making me stop walking.

Nilingon ko siya. "Photoshoot."

"You didn't eat your breakfast?"

Bakit ba siya nagtatanong? The client will think something between us! Baka maudlot ang gagawin nila!

"I'll eat somewhere." matalim ko siyang tinignan.

"In your shooting venue?"

"Yes."

"Where exactly?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. The woman was pursing her lips and didn't want to meddle our conversation.

"I believe that's not your concerns anymore, Mr. Añonuevo." I smiled lightly. "I need to go."

After our talk, I don't know how to act whenever he's around. I'm still mad and not okay with him but somehow I understood him. At least.

I was surely drunk last night but his face near mine couldn't get away from my brain. His lips.. I stopped the car immediately. Muntik na akong mauntog sa wheel sa biglaang paghinto sa parking lot. Suminghap ako at kumunot ang noo ko.

This is stupid. I moved on. Kung may nararamdaman man ako para sa kaniya ngayon, galit nalang 'yon. Sigurado ako.

"Gianna!" Reign called me. Lumapit ako doon at nakipag-ngitian sa mga taong nasa paligid.
