CHAPTER 28
No way.
"I can't agree with that, Eros!" Agad akong tumayo at akmang aalis, pero pinigilan niya ako gamit ang kanyang mga salita.
"I'm talking, Ortaniza."
I rolled my eyes secretly and then umupo ulit sa upuan. Eros is sitting comfortably on his swivel chair, surveying my harsh reaction.
I agreed to talk to him dahil tungkol ito sa business. I just found out that he's the one who picked me as the manager. It means I will go home! Pagtatawanan ako nito ni Kuya kapag ang trabaho ang nagpapa-uwi sa akin. Kahit nga malapit ang kasal nila Kuya at Wei ay hindi ko parin ma fix kung talagang uuwi ako o hindi.
"Why? I wanted to hear your reasonable explanation." He's looking at me intently, while holding his pen.
My brows furrowed. Nakakainis!
"Wow, first Mr. El Vergara, I'm not eligible bilang manager ng project na 'yan. Second, I'm a rookie, bagong salta sa trabaho, what else? Ah, I'm not interested in that project."
Seriously, what he wanted to hear from me?
He nodded, still the stern look was plastered on his face. I looked away for seconds, trying to avoid his gaze. I heard his small laugh.
"Is that all?" He mocked.
I looked at him with my brows still furrowed. I'm starting to get annoyed with this conversation.
"I'm not going." I stood and walked towards his office's door. I want to get out of this office as soon as possible.
"What are you afraid off?" He spoke as I held the door knob.
I keep my hold tight, swallowed hard and exhaled a long breath.
I don't want to talk what happened 2 years ago. I wanted to have a simple life here pero bakit pa siya nandito? Konti na lang at sasabihin kong naghahabol pa rin siya. Of course I won't jump into conclusion and I don't want to assume things that are now complicated.
It took me seconds to answer that dumb question, but still I managed to turn my face to him and smiled.
"I'm not afraid to go home, it's just that it's not the right thing to decide, Eros." For the first time in two years, I've completely heard my mouth saying his name.
My hands were shaking uncontrollably and I felt the nervousness creep into my system.
I saw him grasp. He's now looking intently to me as if I've said something that amazes him.
"I hope it's clear with you." I immediately went off his office.
