I WOKE UP directly staring at our room's ceiling. The bed feels empty right now na ako lang ang nakahiga. It feels more comfortable and warm when I opened my eyes seeing Cassy sleeping like a baby beside me. Ngayong wala siya sa tabi ko, pakiramdam ko may kulang.
But the heck I care, I'm still mad at her. And I got more angrier when she just left me after saying sorry last night. She didn't even tried to explain her side after waiting my raging emotions to subside. And stupid me for following her after a while, it just fueled my rage when I saw her hugged Greg in front of our house. How dare them act like that!
Kung hindi ko narinig ang usapan ng ama ko at ng Daddy niya, siguradong parang tangang walang kaide-ideya akong pinaghahanda siya ng agahan ngayon. Poor me for taking care of that liar and spoiled brat.
"Kanina pa ba sila sa opisina?" tanong ko kay Karen, my thirty years old secretary na nakasunod sa akin. Nagmadali akong bumalik sa kompanya galing sa business meeting ko sa labas nang malaman kong bumisita ang aking ama at father-in-law.
"Half an hour ago, Sir. They seemed not urgent to meet you and told me they'll just wait for you."
"Okay. Can you please order and prepare our lunch? I'll be having lunch with my fathers in my office today. What time is our next appointment?"
"We have contract signing with ZR Corporation this one in the afternoon, Sir. That will be an hour and twenty minutes from now."
"We scheduled on-site visit today at our factory, right?"
"Yes, Sir. And after that, you have a dinner meeting with Mr. Gu and Mr. Kim."
"Noted. Go now and order our lunch. Don't forget to include yours."
"Right away, Sir. Thank you."
Agad akong sumakay sa elevator habang nagpaiwan naman sa baba si Karen. She was my father's previous secretary and been serving him for seven years. He trusted her to help me adjust with my position and learn my obligations. Thankfully, she did her job very well.
It's still twenty minutes before lunch break so there's no other passenger in the elevator. Mabilis naman akong lumabas ng bumukas ito. I fixed my coat and tie first before I would enter my office. I was ready to open the door when I heard something that made me stop.
"Yeah! Nagulat nga rin ako when Cassy choose Casper. She picked him herself kaya mas napadali ang kasal nila," Daddy Edward chuckled. "I thought she will not agree with my plan and choose to manage the company instead. Pero siguro ay gustong-gusto niya talaga ang pagmomodelo kaya pumayag siyang magpakasal para ang asawa niya na ang hahawak ng kompanya."
"How did he know my son by the way? As far as I know, they never had a chance to meet."
"I don't know too. Maybe she just randomly choose a bachelor in business society. Your son looks dependable kaya siya ang natipuhan," he chuckled again.
"Ah, no worries about that. My son could surely handle both—"
I stepped back from the door after hearing it. Nasugatan na yata ang palad ko dahil sa higpit ng pagkuyom ng kamao ko. Mabilis akong tumalikod at pumunta pabalik sa elevator. I hardly pushed the down button pero ang tagal bumukas ng pintuan nito. I saw the red text above showing that it stopped on the first floor so I impatiently got my way to the stairs. My steps were loud and fast, wala ng pakialam kahit nasa fifteenth floor pa ako.
My thoughts are getting fuzzy while I'm breathing rapidly. Hindi ko nagustohan ang narinig ko. I felt betrayed and disappointed. Pakiramdam ko hindi ko na kilala si Cassy. My feelings for her before I met her went back. She became a stranger to me again.
