Quest Of Elites (HU's Book 2)

Chapter 11: The Limbo Of Bad Luck

~ADIRA'S POV

I don't actually know what power does Natte hold, I just know that he had some strong and unfathomable connection to the higher ups council and faculties.

Thinking he might had pulled many strings, I scoffed inwardly. Great deal has great price in return. But well, he only asked for a date, twice a month. He must've ask for something heavier.

I can clearly remember what we did three days ago. He fell asleep on my shoulder for almost half an hour and if I didn't purposely shook my shoulders, he won't wake up.

"I supposed you had other plan in mind than sleep, right?" I spat. "You had two hours left, 'walang extension kaya bilisan mo."

He blinked to probably clear his eyesight, licking his dry lips coolly and fixing his disheveled hair for sleeping.

Clearing his throat, he mumbled, "May plano pero sa susunod na. I got drained in the afternoon so we better eat then. Five star hotel next to this establishment."

"We can eat dinner at home," I contradicted.

"Let's just try," he countered with a smirk. "My treat don't worry, and besides, my decision."

I gritted my teeth inwardly. Hindi na ako sumalungat at binigyan na lang siya ng nang-iinsultong ngisi. Habang may mapaglarong inis at tawa sa mata.

"Now you're flexing your power because we're on a deal. Kapag wala, wala kang magagawa."

"Kaya nga sasagarin ko na," banat niya. "At sa susunod pa. Wala kang magagawa, Adi. Kahit kapag sabihin kong maging sunod-sunuran ka sa 'kin, wala kang magagawa."
