Kissing Her Flaws (Doomed Series #1) | Revising

Kabanata 14

Embarrassed

Tahimik ang buong byaheng 'yon. His brows are into forrow the whole time. Hindi ko na sinubukan mag salita dahil alam kong baka ikainis ko na naman ang maging takbo ng usapan now that he looks grumpy, angry or what? And I don't have any say with it I'm just a secretary here at baka pag nagtanong at umimik pa ako ay matanggal pa ako sa trabaho.

Their conversation in front of me earlier is a kind of rude. Ang pagsagot ni Revelion Kay Mr. Cenon ay pambabato. Well, That's a part of business. Ganoon talaga minsan ang sistema ng negosyo. I suddenly got curious... ganoon ba talaga makipag usap si Revelion sa mga nakaka meeting nya? Sa mga investors? He really are so dangerous when it comes to dealing?

How he acts infront of Mr. Cenon is like a business man that you shouldn't compete with.

Nakarating kami agad sa TDCF. May mga ilang bumati at ang iba ay kita kong may mga matang nagsisiyasat. Who wouldn't be? I'm an interior designer then suddenly I'm here as a secretary? Kahit na sabihin nating kailan pa nung nag umpisa ako ay malaking question mark parin 'yon sa kanila.

Bumuntong hininga ako ng makapasok kami sa elevator. The familiar air and feelings are invading me again just like when we are in this kind of tiny space. And I feel like I'm starting to used into that feelings but still confused. Ganoon palagi kaya minsan ay naiisip kong normal lang na maramdaman 'yon ng sino mang malapit sa kanya. Kase he has that air e. The mixture of scary, annoying and he has the air that could weakened the both of your knees.

That's what I thought.

Or the inner me... do I really?

"Who called you?"

Napaangat ako ng tingin kay Revelion sa biglaan nyang tanong. Umawang ang labi ko ang mata nya ay nasa akin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nya yon natanong. Tinikom ko ang bibig at tumikim. I don't know but I felt like it's my obligation to answer him. Nagiwas ako ng tingin

"A-ah," I stuttered. "A-ano my friend si Elly."

"Uh-huh." Sa kanyang tono ay parang kasinungalingan ang sinagot ko. It's like he's speculating that there is something suspicious on that call!

Naniningkit ang mata kong tumingin sa kanya. He's making me irritated! Always! Nang makita nya ang nabubuong inis sa akin ay niluwagan nya ang kanyang necktai at ngumisi. Oh boy god knows how I really want to kill you right now. I suddenly have this urge to smugly cast what's he just said to me about privacy. What is it again Revelion?

"Is it your business to ask your employee on her privacy? I thought you know what privacy means?" With narrowing eyes I asked.

Binasa nya ang kanyang labi. I looked at it and when his smirk grew into more annoying way nagising ako sa sarili. The hell how that mannerism could quickly distract me! Really somber? Kung mahahalata ka ay magmumukha kang tigang sa labi. Thirsty? Really?

"I'm not asking to feed the curiousity you are assuming that I have Ms. Trinidad. You are a secretary so expected na may tatawag sayo na kliyente."

Laglag ang panga ko. Agad nilukob ng kahihiyan. Nakakahiya! Hindi ka lang tigang ngayon assumera ka narin somber?

Lumunok ako at pairap na nag iwas ng tingin. At least to look I'm not embarrassed. Masyado na akong madaming nagagawang kahihiyan. And I will not admit that I was assuming. No. Never. Nagkamali lang ako ng pagkakaintindi!

The passing minutes felt awkward and irritating lalo na't alam kong kahiya hiya nga naman ang pagiging assumera ko. Hindi na sya nagsalita pa hanggang sa bumukas na ang elevator hudyat nasa tamang palapag na kami.

Pumasok sya sa office nya habang ako naman ay sa akin. I started to do what I had left habang ang inis sa akin ay naroroon padin.

Nang matapos sa trabaho at makauwi ay sa labas palang ng unit ko at rinig ko na agad ang boses ng aking mga kaibigan.
