The Playboy's Pursuit

26: Liam as the boss

SUZY'S POV

"G-Good morning, sir!"

"Good morning, sir!"

Everyone instantly greeted him when they've recovered from their curiosities saka nagmamadali ng nagsilabasan ang mga ito sa elevator, leaving Klent and I inside.

"K-kayo na po ang maunang pumasok, sir." Paubaya pa ng mga ito sa kanya na para bang bigla nalang sinaniban ng kung anong masasamang elemento ang mga ito just because nandito ang gagong 'to.

Letting out a groan, marahan na'kong humarap rito and then his grinning face greeted me. He was in his navy blue suit again habang nakapamulsa naman ang mga kamay nito sa gilid.

Oh God.. Why does he have to be here this early?

"G-Good morning, sir?"

I almost punch myself when that greeting came out like a question.

Shit!

And I couldn't help but glare at him when his grin widened more while his eyes were now dancing in mirth right now.

"Mr. Montero!"

I felt relieved when Klent suddenly called that behind me, snapping everyone's attention to him na nakangiti ng lumapit sa bagong dating. Excitement was visible in his face.

And I felt relieved na ginawa niya 'yon dahil nagagawa ko ng makahinga ng maayos ngayon.

Oh thank God I was saved!

Pagkakita nito kay Klent, the stupid grin in his face was gone in a second. A hint of displeasure was visible in his face now before he throw me a glare from behind Klent.

"We've met again, Mr. Montero. How are you?" Klent uttered in amazement sabay lahad ng kamay nito sa gago. Sa gago na pinukulan muna ng masamang tingin ang nakalahad nitong kamay before he received it na halata namang napipilitan lang ito.

"Yes. We've met again and I wonder why you're here? Do you have any business here today?"

"Ah no. I was actually here for my internship. Alam ko kasing maganda ang hotel na'to to gain some experience from and besides, Suzy's here as well so it'd be great kung dito na rin ako." He cheerfully replied while giving me a side glance pagkabitaw ng mga kamay nito.

At hindi ko mapigilang kiligin nang sabihin niya 'yon. Oh no. Mukhang may nararamdaman na rin ito para sa'kin. Ang haba naman ng buhok mo, Suzy..

When my mind teases that, hindi ko na mapigilang mapangiti dahil dun.

"Oh.. So you're here for internships with, Suzy.." he uttered while slowly nodding his head in understanding sabay tapon ng masamang tingin sa gawi ko.

"Well, then.. Good luck to your internships with her then. Sana naman hindi kayo mahirapan rito na tingin ko naman malabong mangyayari 'yon."

I frowned when he added that. I swear I could detect sarcasms in that statement!

"Yes. Sana nga." Klent agreed with a nod. Too innocent to catch the sarcasms on it.

Dahil halos lagi ko na itong kasa-kasama nitong mga huling linggo, I can already tell kung kalian ito may binabalak na kalokohan! And I'm starting to worry about it now.

Dahil sa pagiging boss niya rito, talagang magagawa na nito ang kahit anong gusto nitong gawin sa'min. If he'll tell us to mop the whole damn building na kami lang ni Klent, talagang mapipilitan kaming gawin 'yon if we want an excellent evaluation from him after the internships. Oh God!

This time, inis ko ng pinukulan ito ng matalim na tingin. A glare that I hope would kill him.

"Everyone.."
