Designed Mischief ( Vallejo Series #1 )

Prologue

"Alis na'ko." paalam ko sa sa mga kapatid ko na nagkalat sa living room, nanunood ng TV.

"Aalis ka? Eh, diba Sunday ngayon? Bonding day natin ngayon ah?" Tanong ni Kizie na nakaupo ng maayos at may unan pa sa hita.

"Pupunta ngayon si Ms. Lopez sa boutique ko." aniko. "Titignan na daw niya yung gown niya. But don't worry, uuwi agad ako pagkatapos na pagkatapos ni Ms. Lopez."

"Hm okay! Ingat 'bal!"

I nodded at Kizie.

"Ingat, ate." Tiana smiled at me while holding a popcorn.

I gave her a small smile.

"Pasalubong ah!" hiyaw ni Xy habang nakatutok pa din sa TV.

I rolled my eyes.

"Sa trabaho ako pupunta, Xyrriana, hindi sa ibang bansa."

"Oo nga naman!" singit ni Flay.

Nahulaan ko na anong susunod na mangyayari. Tsk.

"Wala kang pakialam."

"Duh! You're always asking for pasalubong. Don't you have money ba?"

"Don't you have money ba?" Xy mocked. "Arte."

"Hey! I don't sound like that!"

"Yes, you do!"

"No, I don't!"

"Mama mo dont

Sabi na eh. Tss.

I sighed, "Batsi na'ko," 'di ko na sila hinintay sumagot agad nako lumabas ng bahay.

"Tophy, wala pa ba si Ms. Lopez?" I asked my assistant.

"Waley pa, mother," he answered.

Linapag ko ang bag ko sa sofa at sumalampak ng upo sa swivel chair ko. I massage my head ang sighed. Today was supposed to be my rest day. But that Lopez lady just ruined it.

I took my sketchbook on my drawer and start sketching some designs.

I stopped when someone knocked. "Come in." I put down my pencil and fixed my coat.

"Ma'am, andito na po si Ms. Lopez," I nodded at tophy.

"Let her in."

"Oh my god! I can't wait to see my wedding dress!" she exclaimed. Napangiwi ako sa lakas ng tili niya.

Ano siya sa tingin niya? Teenager? God! She's 34 for god's sake! She should acted like one! But I can understand her though. Getting married is actually...exciting.

Tsk. Bakit ko ba iniisip yang mga ganyan?

"Um.." I cleared my throat and took my design for her wedding dress. "Here. " I handed it to her. She excitedly accepted it and giggled.

"Ang ganda! I like it!" she smiled. I smiled back.

Magsasalita pa sana ako nang may biglang nahulog na piraso ng papel galing sa sketchbook na hawak ni Ms. Lopez.

Nang makita ko kung ano yung...nan laki ang mata ko.

A-akala ko na tapon ko na yan?

"What is this?" Ms. Lopez picked it up. "Ano to-oh my gosh!" napaiktad ako sa biglang pagtili niya "Ito! Ito!" tinuro-turo niya ang wedding dress na naka sketch dun. "ito ang gusto ko! Perfect na perfect!"

I sighed "Um.." I gave her a small smile "Sorry, Ms. Lopez but that Wedding dress is not for sale,"

"H-huh? But why?"
