The Hired Wedding Intruder

Intruder 10

SIDNEY

The VIP rooms are spacious. Sabi ni Andrew, balak pa nilang lagyan ito ng jacuzzi. May terrace pa at kitang-kita ang maalon na dagat at ibang magagandang tanawin. Right now, Andrew is acting like a professional. He's not teasing me. He is answering my questions seriously.

"Gusto ba talaga ng mga mayayaman ang magarbong silid?" takang tanong ko. I am taking photographs of every part of the room.

"Not really," he answered with a bored look on his face.

"Ha? Eh, ano ang gusto ng mga mayayaman?" takang tanong ko. I'm glad I can finally speak to him naturally. Hindi na ako kinakabahan katulad ng dati. Mabuti na lang professional si Andrew.

"Why are you asking me that? Tao rin sila. You should know what they want," he said as he looked at me like I'm the weirdest person in the world that he ever met.

I frowned. "Maybe, that's a stupid question. But they're different. Madalas mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ng mga average na tao. Ayos na sa kanila kahit magtampisaw lang sila sa dagat. Masaya na sila. But for rich people, it's quite different, right? They need luxurious things around them," I stated. I'm not against rich people. That's just what I thought. Halatang hindi nagustuhan ni Andrew ang sinabi ko. Sumeryoso ang mukha niya. Kinabahan ako.

"You're wrong. Do you think money and those luxurious things can really make them happy? Mababaw rin silang tao. Most of the time, they just need love," he answered seriously. "They need peace. They need more time to enjoy themselves. Madalas wala na silang oras sa sarili at sa pamilya nila. Do you really think this room is too much for them?" tanong niya sa 'kin.

I bit my lips. He got a point. Maybe I'm really wrong. "Sorry," apologetic na sabi ko. Lumambot ang ekspresiyon ng mukha niya. He sighed.

"What are you planning to do in this room?" tanong ni Andrew sa 'kin.

"I want to consider the things you said earlier. A design where they can feel love, peace, happiness and enjoyment. They will stay here to enjoy themselves," sagot ko.

"Is that so? Then I forgot something. They also need sex. You must put love seats, too," he grinned.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Ramdam ko ang biglang pamumula ng mukha ko.

"What are you talking about? Is this a honeymoon suite?" naiinis na tanong ko. I am trying to hide my embarrassment.

"Yes. Couples will probably go here for honeymoon. You should know that. And don't blush like that. It tempts me to tease you more," he grinned. "Oh. Sorry. I almost forgot that you don't have any experience on that field. Don't worry. I'll teach you. It might help you with your designs," he teased.

"Thanks but no thanks. Just go back to Manila. Mas kailangan ko roon," I said and glared at him. Agad akong naglakad palayo sa kanya. Hindi ko dapat siya pagkatiwalaan kahit sa oras ng trabaho. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang tumatakbo sa utak niya.

He just followed me silently. Hindi na siya nagkomento sa sinabi ko. It is lunch time. Sabay-sabay na kaming kumain. Nakakatakam ang mga seafoods na nakahain sa hapag-kainan.

Kasama ko pa rin si Andrew. Lumapit sa 'min si Ayden.

"Did you finish checking every room?" nakangiting tanong ni Ayden.

Nakangiting tumango ako. I think, I can work on the design's drafts this evening. Tatapusin ko rin ang ibang designs para sa ibang kliyente ko.

"Good. Hindi ka naman binigyan ng problema ng pinsan ko?" nakangising tanong niya sa 'kin. Napansin ko na napatingin siya sa kiss mark na nasa leeg ko. He smiled mischievously. For sure, he came up with a malicious conclusion.
