Chapter 36

"You're too early, Mr. Velasquez." Puna ko pagpasok ko ng office nang makita si Dion na nakatayo habang nakasandal sa desk niya, naka-krus pa ang mga braso nito sa harapan.

He smiled back, then walked towards me. 

"I'm not early, Miss Secretary, you're just late," He said strictly and sexily, then stopped in front of me. His arms quickly snaked around my waist.

"It's just 7:45 a.m. I'm not yet late, Sir." I defended myself. May fifteen minutes pa nga, e. Masyadong exaggerated 'tong lalaki na 'to!

"You're five minutes late, so you need to give your boss a five-minute kiss." Kondisyon niya.

What is that? A sweet punishment?

"Five-minute kiss? Hindi ba pwedeng i-deduct mo na lang po sa sweldo ko ang mga oras na na-late ako?"

"I want kiss." He smirked. "I cannot reduce the amount of your salary. Dadagdagan ko na lang."

"Hindi ko naman kailangan ng dagdag." Ngumuso ako.

"But," his eyes lowered down to my lips. "I need what I said to start my day."

Nilagpasan ko siya upang tunguhin ang lamesa ko pero walang pasabi niyang hinigit ang aking pala-pulsuhan sabay patak ng halik sa labi ko.

Damn. That's so territorial!

I grinned at him and that made him stop. He's holding both of my elbows, staring at my bright smile.

"Anong nangyayari sayo?" I asked, chortling.

"Nothing. I just ... missed you." Lambing niya.

"At kailan ka pa ulit naging clingy?" Naramdaman kong inaamoy niya na ang leeg ko. Hindi naman talaga obvious na miss na miss niya 'ko, ha?

"Noong bumalik ka sa'kin ulit." saad niya. Ngumiti ako ng palihim.

I held on to his shoulder when he sucked my neck.

Umawang ang labi ko.

"A-Andrius," Hindi pa rin siya tumitigil sa paghalik sa leeg ko. "M-May meeting k-ka pa ngayon. Ano ba..." Hirap na saad ko.

Hindi niya ako pinakinggan at pinagpatuloy lang ang ginagawa niya. I slightly pushed him away from me when I felt my knees start to weaken.

Damn.

"You should resign as my secretary. As in. Right now." He muttered.

"Why?" I asked.

"And apply as my wife." He replied, nibbling on my neck.

"I repeat. May meeting ka pa ngayon, Mr. Velasquez. It's already 8:05 a.m. We're damn five minutes late, they're probably waiting for you at this moment." I reminded him and I couldn't really just avoid smiling just to show him that I'm not in a good mood to even mutter a joke.

Nakanguso siya na parang hindi pa siya kontento sa ginawa niya.

"Let's go?" He then offered his hand.

I laughed.

"Nasa office lang tayo, hindi na kailangan magholding-hands, okay?" Pagsusungit ko.

I must be professional.

Kalat na rin sa buong kompanya na may namamagitan sa amin ng CEO. I don't want them to build a bad impression of me. So I should not distract him from his job.

Kapag nasa office, trabaho, hindi landi. Easy, Thalia.

Bumuntong-hininga siya at tamad na binaba ang kamay niya. My mouth formed an 'o' when he rolled his eyes at me then he continued to walk outside.
