Reign Of The Hearts (Reino De Filipinas 1)

Chapter 50

GEN'S POV

Scratch. Crumpled. Dump.

Inis na nasapo ko ang noo't tulalang nakatingin sa nagkalat na papel sa ibabaw ng desk ko.

"Okay, Gen. Last one. Shorter this time," I exhaled, grabbed the pen, and start to scribble some notes on the empty piece of paper.

Sorry, Your Royal Highness. Forgive me. Hindi ko na uulitin. Alam ko namang mali ang ginawa ko't nagsusumamo ako sa'yong kausapin mo na ako.

Ugh! Mali. Ulit. I crossed all the words I have written on the paper, crumpled and tossed it.

"Oh, crap!"

Sorry. Forgive me, Kamahalan. Hindi ko na uulitin.

No. Mali. Inis na nilamukos ko ang papel at inihagis iyon.

"Again."

You're mad, I understand. That's why I am giving you 8 hours para d'yan sa pagtatatmpo mo. I'm done with your cold shoulder shit, Liam.

Folding the paper and tucking it to the roses I bought earlier, a smile ghost on my lips. I'm hoping to put an end into Liam's silent treatment on me. Simula pa iyon kagabi nang ihatid ako nito matapos ang insidente sa jetski. Hindi ko na kayang magtiis pa.

Dalawa lang ang magiging resulta nito. Patatawarin niya ko or papatawarin n'ya ko.

With that, nakangisi akong tumayo't tinungo ang malaking pintuan. With my clammy hand, I gripped the cold metal of the doorknob. Letting out a weary sigh, I willed my thrumming heart to calm down.

"You can do this, self. It's now or never," kausap ko sa sarili bago itinulak pabukas ang pintuan ng opisina ng may topak na nobyo.

I stopped dead on my tracks when dark intense eyes stared at me. Uh-oh! I was rooted on the floor, unsure wether to bolt outside or stay. Siyempre matapang ako, itinuwid ko ang likod saka sinalubong ang mga tingin nito.

He studied my face for a few awkward moments then looked down at my hands. I don't know if he noticed that I slightly tremble because of the indifference his eyes were spitting at the moment. Marahas itong huminga.

"Give that to V. Let the staff arrange that," Liam said firmly, and as quick as lightning, his eyes were back on the pile of papers in front of him.

The nerve! Deadma sa barangay ang lolo niyo. Well, two can play this shit. Steeling my back and raising my chin a fraction, I confidently walked towards his huge mahogany desk. Padabog kong inilapag ang biniling bulaklak mula sa isang sikat na flower shop sa IG na fina-follow ko.

"I don't think the sender will appreciate that, Your Royal Highness," umpisa ko't kuyom ang palad na tinitigan ang binatang bahagyang natigilan dahil sa kapangahasan ko.

"Kabilin-bilinan niya na iabot ko ito sa'yo. Kung ayaw n'yo raw, itapon n'yo sa basurahan. Pake niya ba. For sure 'di naman siya magagalit. O magwawala. Naku sure ako doon. Masyadong chill ang taong 'yon, Your Royal Highness."

"Persistent."

"Oh, middle name niya ho iyon. She's also in the verge of madness. Try avoiding her one more day, who knows anong sapak ang maiisipan niya."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Depends. Do you feel threatened, my liege?"

Sinalo ng kanang kamay nito ang mukha saka ako matiim na tinitigan. Nanuot iyon hanggang sa kahulihulihang atom sa katawan ko. I started to fidget.
