Cue of secrets

Chapter 1

"Sir, you don't have an appointment later."

"Oh?" He looked at me. Probably asking why I'm telling him this.

"Si Jana Cruz, the model. She asked you to have dinner with her later. What restaurant will I book? Anong flowers bibilhin ko? The usual or do you want to change?"

"Nah. Tell her I'm not available tonight. I'm having dinner with you." He said and went back on reading papers.

"No. I'm booking at the hotel for your dinner, okay? The flowers are on the way. I'm done here." I turned my back against him.

"Hey! 'Di mo ba ako narinig? Sabi ko sabay tayo mag-dinner, e."

"Sir, sila Jia kasama ko. 'Di ka ba nagsasawa saakin? Or do you want me to call your parents so you could eat dinner with them?"

"No. I want to eat dinner with you." He firmly answered.

"Bakit sir? Can't you eat your food by yourself? I promised to Jia and Sinta that I will treat them for dinner." Reklamo ko.

"Fine! But go to my house right after your dinner!"

"After?" I shouted.

"Why?"

"Wala! Sabi ko nga I'll eat dinner faster so I could go to your house. Happy?" I rolled my eyes.

"Dinner na tayo?" Jia asked.

"Tara! Steak," yaya ko.

"Sinta!" Jia called Sinta who is busy arranging papers.

"Ang fresh mo padin, ah! Akala mo hindi na-stress kay sir Alistair." Puna ni Sinta.

"Is that a joke? Parang hindi ko siya boss, para siyang bata." I sighed.

"Almost 5 years ka nang nagta-trabaho kay sir Alistair, 'di ka pa ba nasanay?"

Right after the dinner, I rode a cab to visit the thunder's house. Kulang naman e dito na din ako tumira.

"Alistair!" I shouted.

He went out wearing only a bathrobe. He doesn't care about how he looks in front of me anyway.

"Where are your honorifics?" He arched his brow.

"Wala, tulog, umalis." I rolled my eyes. Alas-dies na ng gabi!

"Pagod ka na ba?" He asked.

"Not really, sir. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. I was waiting for you. I cooked."

"Nagluto ka?" My eyes widened.

"Yes!" He proudly answered. "The mighty Alistair cooks well."

"Let's see." I headed to his kitchen. Makita ko palang ang kalat na ginawa niya ay alam ko nang walang patutunguhan ang niluto niya.

"Nevermind. You know what? Magpa-deliver nalang tayo."

"No! Let me taste this dish. Malay mo naman masarap." I comforted him a little and tasted his food.

"Ano?"

"Oo nga. Magpa-deliver nalang tayo. It's on me, sir! Ako na bahala maglinis niyang kalat mo." I said and called his favorite fast food to order.

"Sige." He laughed a little. Minsan lang din tumawa ang masungit na 'to kaya ngumiti nalang ako.

"Sir, ayusin ko lang 'yung library mo ha. Para mai-deliver nalang rin 'yung bagong sets ng books mo."

"No. You're probably tired. Bukas mo nalang gawin 'yan."
