Chapter Forty Five

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE: THROW

Ang dami kong tanong sa utak ko. It's just too much for me to handle right now.

Kaba, galit, frustration, at kaba ulet... ang dami kong naiisip.

I just don't know how am I going to do this. How am I going to handle someone I haven't fully had a conversation with for years?

How am I going to handle someone like him? It's just too much right now. I want to calm myself pero 'di ko yata kaya.

I already told myself that this is just business and nothing else.

I really had to tell myself this several types as if I'm trying to hypnotize myself pero kinakabahan pa rin ako.

Kinakabahan ba ako dahil sa kanya or dahil lang sa nakaraan?

The moment we met again during that party, alam ko... alam ko na agad na 'di ko magugustuhan ang mararamdaman ko. I just knew it, and now that this is happening... 'di ko na alam kung kakayanin ko ba.

'Di ko inaakalang i-seset up ako nang mismo kong kapatid for this!

It's either him, Rina, or Alexander.

I wasn't expecting this at all.

I wanted to refuse this project too, I wanted to tell Quinten to just give it to someone else.

But I didn't want to be unprofessional.

Imagine, Genevieve Diamante rejecting to be part of this collaboration because the CEO of Cardoza Angels is her ex-boyfriend... like... can you even imagine that? It's so unprofessional!

Imposible ring 'di alam ni Quinten ang totoo, he's setting me up for sure. It could've been fucking Alexander for God's sake, pero si Ares talaga?

Why do I have to set up an appointment with a modeling agency? It could've been the designer or the team who is involved with this kaya bakit 'yung modeling agency pa?

It all makes sense... they're really trying to set me up.

"Miss Diamante..."

I woke up from my own thoughts when some employee called me, tinapik 'din ako. Tiningnan ko 'yung babae at nginitian ko na lang siya to hide my nervousness.

"Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea?" mabait na tanong nang babae.

Honestly, none of those choices. Ang kailangan ko ay sabunutin si Quinten at si Alexander.

They were planning this for sure!

Do they think this is funny?

I'm literally going to have a panic attack at this point dahil sa kaba!

Jesus, I shouldn't be even thinking about this.

"Get her an Iced Caramel Coffee." nanigas ako from a familiar voice behind me, I also heard the way the door opened and footsteps too.

It's a familiar voice pero it's deeper than before.

Deeper than that time, when we met again accidentally during their graduation day too.

Tumayo ako agad and hinarap siya, he's now inside together with his assistant.

Meron 'din siyang kasamang mga empleyado niya. Like three of them, kasama na 'yung empleyado niyang nag-tanong kung may kailangan ba ako.
