I'm His Secretary

🔰Chapter 17🔰

Harmony's POV...

"Sabrina."sabay naming bigkas ni Qiunan at dali-daling tumayo.

"Uh--- it's not what you think. Th--there's a cockroach on the floor that made us jump on the bed. But I lose my balance."paliwanag ni Qiunan.

Tumango naman ako para sang-ayunan siya.
"Ahehe. Qiunan, if you like Harmony, just tell her slowly. Don't--- ano.. Don't be too harsh. Hehe."nakangiting sabi ni Sab.

"Sabrina!"suway ko dito.

"I'll go ahead."sabi naman ni Sab at sinara na ang pinto.

Napatingin naman ako kay Qiunan na nakatingin din pala sa'kin. Shyet! Awkward.

"Uh-- nevermind her."I said and fake a smile.
"I--I'll get the laptop."sabi niya at kinuha ang laptop.

Binigay niya yun sa'kin.
"Ahmm... can you do me a favor after that?"he ask.

Favor? Anong klaseng favor kaya? Hmm... May ideya ako.

"Okay. But first, do you know how to play dama?"I ask.

"Dama? What is that?"he ask.
"Yung ano... it's like playing chess but their actually different."I answer.

"Oh! That one. Yes I know how to play that."he said.

"Okay. If you win, I'll grant your five wishes. Anything that I can capable of. It excludes jumping down a 50 floor building, I will really drag you with me. Also, give you something expensive, I don't have a money so that's excludes also. But if I win, you'll grant my five wish."I stated.

"Do we have a deal?"I ask.
Tumahimik muna siya saglit bago tumikhim.

"Fine, it's a deal."he said.

Napangiti naman ako. Buti nalang dala ko yung chessboard. Naisip ko kasi na baka mabored ako sa trip kaya mas mabuti na yung may pang alis ng boredom.

"Okay. Let's play downstairs after I'm done with this."I said and tap his shoulder then walk out of his room.

Sabrina's POV...

"Hey Sabrina."napangiti ako ng marinig ang boses na yun.
"Oh hey Ivan."I respond.

Ang gwafo niya talaga.

"Can we have a talk?"he ask.
Yeah sure bebelabs! Let's talk about our future. Este, about your probs hehe.

"Yeah sure. What do you want to talk about?"I ask.

Lumabas na muna kami ng bahay at dun nag-usap malapit sa puno. Hindi naman mainit, ang lamig nga ng hangin eh.

"Sabrina, what can you say about us?"he ask.
Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay.

"I mean, between the two of us. What are your perception?"he ask again.

Parang isasabak yata ako neto sa Miss Universe ah. Kalerke naman to kung magtanong. Dinaig pa yung mga judge sa Miss Universe.

Tumikhim muna ako bago nagsalita.
"We're--- friends? I guess."walang kasiguraduhan kong tanong.

He smile and nod.
"Good. I hope you and I won't cross the line."para naman akong nakalunok ng tinik dahil sa sinabi niya.

Awts peyn!

"Let's remain as friends, okay?"he said.
Huhu! Iiyak na ba ako?

Tumango lang ako habang nakangiti ng pilit.
"Of course. Let's remain that way."I said.

Ang unfair mo crush! Crush kita kaya dapat crush mo rin ako! Hmp! Pero it's okay. Basta makakasama pa rin kita. Hihi.

Harmony's POV...

"Okay. It's only Qiunan and I who are playing. No coaching . The four of you better shut up."I said.

Sumenyas naman sila na para bang sini-zip ang bibig.

"Good. Let's start."I said.

Naku lagot! Ano nang gagawin ko? Wala na akong maigalaw. Bwesit! Hindi ako pwedeng matalo.

"Harmony, yu---"

"Hep! No coaching."pagpigil ni Qiunan kay Yuan.

Eer! Kainis! Si Qiunan pa yata makakatalo sa'kin sa dama. Nakakainis talaga tong singkit na to.

"Admit defeat now?"he ask.
Tiningnan ko naman siya ng masama.

"Tsk! No way."I said.
"Harmony won't admit defeat. She hates to be defeated."Sabrina said.

Tiningnan ko naman ng masama si Sab.
"Oops! Sorry. My tongue slipped."she said.

Hindi ako magpapatalo noh. Never!

"What's your wish?"
"Hmm... lemme think about it. You'll know about it later."nakakainis talaga tong singkit na to!

Tinalo ba naman ako sa laro namin?! Kainis!

"First time mong natalo. Sa boss mo pa talaga."panunukso ni Sab.
"Woah! So hindi ka pa natalo nang kahit na sino?"tanong ni Yuan.

"Urgh stop it. I'm not in the mood."I said and go to my room.

Sinara ko yun at humiga sa kama. I can't believe it. Ako yung naghamon tapos ako rin pala ang talo.

Ano kaya ang wish nung singkit na yun?

[7:00 am]

Today is the start of our trip. The first one, is going to Beijing.

"I'll be the one to film everything."Ivan said.

"No need. I have a drone. I've programmed it already. It will track us and it will follow us whenever we go. In that way, none of us will have a hard time filming ourselves."Qiunan said.

"One drone for Harmony and me, one drone for Ashley and Yuan, and one drone for Sabrina and Ivan."he added.

"Okay. Let's gear up, and get ready to go."I added.

Umakyat na kami sa kwarto namin at kinuha ang kanya-kanya naming backpack. Pagkatapos nun ay lumabas na kami ng bahay. Pinalipad na ni Qiunan ang tatlong drone.

"Let's get going."Qiunan said.

Pumasok na kami sa sasakyan. Hiniram ko yung tablet ni Qiunan dahil dun naka-connect ang mga drones. Kitang-kita ko sa tablet ang sasakyan namin.

First stop! The Peninsula Beijing. It's a hotel.

It took us a few minutes to get to the Hotel where we are staying while we're in Beijing. Pagdating namin dun ay agad na akong kumuha ng room. Naghintay naman sina Qiunan dun sa may elevator.

"Good day."bati nung staff ng Hotel.
"Is there a room for 6 people?"I ask.

"Luckily, there's still one. You just need to fill this up."she said and hand me the fill up form.

I fill it up and after that I gave it back to her.
"Thanks for choosing Peninsula Beijing. Here's your key. 10th floor, room 2."inabot ko na yung susi.

"Thanks."I said.

Lalakad na sana ako ng may makabangga ako kaya nalaglag ang susi ko. Hays! Kukunin ko na sana yun ng masagi ito ng ibang tao kaya hinabol ko na naman yun. Para na akong aso neto na naghahanap ng buto. Urgh! Kainis! Nakita ko na yung susi at pupulutin ko na sana ng may makasagi na naman neto kaya napunta na naman ito sa kung saan. Urgh! Di bale na magmukha akong aso, wag lang akong katayin ni Qiunan.

Nakita ko na ang susi kaya pinulot ko na ito. Napakunot-noo naman ako at tiningnan ang taong nakasabay kong pumulot nung susi.

"Leo?"
