Boss

Chapter 3

A/N : Unedited

Natalie's POV

"The nerve of that woman!" gigil kong sabi habang kinukwento ko ang nangyari sa aking bestfriend na si Mia... "And will you please stop laughing." Masungit kong sabi sa kanya...

"Oh my G! I can't believe it... I just can't! So, the same person who propose to you was the same person who kiss you! And take note... She could have kiss you in your lips, but she did not! and instead kiss you in your forehead! What are you a granny?! And she's saying that she'll claim your lips soon." she keeps laughing while holding her tummy. "Ohh my... I would love to meet her!!!" saad pa ng dalaga!

"No!" mabilis kong sabi...

"Ohhh someone's territorial..." Ngisi ni Mady na kasama naming ngayon dito sa bar niya...

"Whatever!" I would have roll my eyes at them kung hindi nga lang nahagip ng panignin ko ang babaeng kanina pa gumugulo sa isip ko.. "What the hell is she doing here?" bulong ko habang sinusundan ng tingin ang babae. She actually looks different... There's something about her tonight that shout danger... I don't know it seems like im looking at a different person... Humarang ang waiter para iabot ang mga drinks naming at ng makaalis ay wala na din ang dalaga...

"Sinong tinitingnan mo diyan Nat?" Tanong ni Mia..

"Nothing I must be mistaken." Sagot ko at binalik na ulit ang tingin sa mga kaibigan... Hindi naman siguro siya mapapadpad sa ganitong lugar... She doesn't look like she have much base on what she wear... and she looks stupid... always smiling like there is nothing wrong in the world... but the lady awhile ago means business... Hindi ko man makita ang brand ng suot niya but I know its expensive.

"Hey gorgeous!" Bati ni Marco samin na nagpakunot ng aking kilay... Tiningnan ko ng masama ang aking mga kaibigan dahil alam nilang ayokong makisalamuha sa kanya but here he is... Flaunting his smug face in front of me! How dare he!

"Im leaving!" Sabay alis sa aking kinauupuan. Hindi pa man ako nakakalayo ay may humawak na sa aking braso..

"Wait babe... Please let's talk.." Tinanggal ko ang pagkakawak niya saking braso at tuloy tuloy na umalis sa bar patungo saking sasakyan.. Alam kong nakasunod sakin si Marco but I don't care...

"Baby... Please hear me out... What I did is wrong I know and Im sorry... Its just one mistake Natalie..." I can hear frustration in his voice... I keep on hearing the word sorry this day... Anong araw ba 'to Sorry day? I get in my car and start my engine. Kinatot pa rin ni Marco ang bintana ko but I didn't even stop and pinaharurot ang sasakyan... I just want to leave... If I could... I want to leave everything behind... But I cant... Sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan nagbalik sa isipan niya ang dalaga...

"Stupid." Bulong ko sa hangin.

"Ugh!!!! Im gonna kill that woman!!" Gigil kong sabi habang tinutusok tusok ng tinidor ang cake na dala ni Mia dito sa office since we should have some coffee date but I totally forgot dahil sa pagkabusy ko na rin... Tapos ilang araw na kong pinagtataguan ng babaeng yun! The nerve!!! Yes pinagtataguan at halatang halata naman dahil sa tuwing magsasalubong ang landas naming singbilis din ang pagtakas at pagtatago niya... Okay lang sana kung hindi ko mahahalata but the hell! "At ikaw kanina ka pa tawa ng tawa... anong nakakatawa???"

"Kasi naman best friend yung itsura mo parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa at saka nakakatawa naman talaga... Yung iba hindi magkanda ugaga lumapit sayo at mapalapit sayo pero siya di magkandaugaga sa pagtatago sayo!" patuloy pa rin siya sa pagtawa na akala mo walang bukas "and beside sobrang nagpapaepekto ka... Uyyy umamin ka nga sakin Nat nat..." Sabi ni Mia na nakakalokong nakatingin sakin... "Gusto mo ba..." Pambibitin niya...

"Gusto mo isubsob kita dito sa cake na dala mo??" Sabi ko... Nawalan na ko ng ganang kainin ung cake... Napapikit akong sumandal sa aking upuan...

"You know... if it bothers you so much why don't you just call her... here... You're the owner of this company... You are still her boss right?" saad ni Mia habang patuloy na kinakain ang cake na dala niya... "who said I'm bothered? And I don't really care she can hide however she wants and I don't give a shit."

"Talaga lang? So its ok if I have her? You know she's kinda my type... She's gorgeous, she's bubbly, she's smart since siya ung nakatulong na maayos ung security ng company niyo if she wants she can sell those ideas but she didn't and let someone take the credits. And I heard she's a good kisser..." tiningnan niya ko ng nakakaloko habang tinataas baba ang kilay...

"Ang dami mong naririnig at pano mo naman nasabi na maganda siya? For all you know she's ugly wears a big old eye glass, old and san mo nakuha yang chissmiss na magaling siyang humalik aber??" Sagot ko habang tinitingnan siya ng masama...

"Well first I met her already an---"

"WHAT??" sigaw ko... I don't know but I don't like that idea...

"Easy tiger.." Tatawa tawang sabi ni Mia... "I saw her kasama mga guards niyo nakikipaglaro ng baraha and since alam kong nasa meeting ka pa I joined them awhile ago... just for fun you know and found out she's the great Ashley the one who turned my friend gay..." tatawa tawa pa ring sagot nito...

"excuse me.. Im straight as a ruler remember and kakabreak ko lang kay Marco... and kelan ka pa natutong magbaraha??"

"tinuruan niya ko..." Ngisi niyang sagot sakin... "Whatever you say Natalie... Ohh wanna play a game?" Saad ulit ni Mia habang my dinadial sa phone

"Yes Ms. Sy?" Sagot ng secretary ko sa kabilang linya...

"Ohh hi Jenny this is Mia... May you please call Ms. Ashley Montalban from IT here in Nat's office?" tiningnan ko lang ng masama si Mia...

"Yes now." Pinapakinggan ko lang siyang makipagusap...

"What are you doing??" tanong ko ng matapos siyang makipagusap sa secretary ko...

"Well... I just want to ask her something... Don't worry its about work.." Sabay kindat sakin...

"Ms. Sy & Ms. Lee. Nandito na po si Ms. Montalban.." Sabi ng secretary ko at umalis na pagkahatid sa dalaga... Nakataas lang ang kilay na pinagmasdan ko siya... habang hindi siya makatangin ng diretso samin... correction sakin... Dahil Nakita kong nginitian niya pa si Mia...

"Hi Ash!" Masiglang bati ni Mia... "Come sit here beside me." Nalalakad na sana ang dalaga palapit kay Mia ng bigla akong tumayo at umupo sa tabi ni Mia na kinataas lang ng kilay ng dalaga. Walang nagawa si Ashley kundi umupo sa tapat ng dalawang naggagandahang dalaga...

"So ano pong maipaglilingkod ko?" Tanong ni Ashley habang nakatingin sa magazine sa table...

"Rude." Sabi ko habang nakacross arm pa.. "Its common courtesy to look at the person you're talking too. Do we look like a magazine to you???" Mataray kong sabi. I saw her gulp and she seems very nervous...

"Huh.. Ah – Eh naku hindi naman po kayo mukhang magazine mas maganda naman po kayong di hamak sa magazine..." Nabubulol pa netong sabi na nagpakunot lalo sa noo ko...

"Then tell me what's so interesting that you can't even remove your eyes from that magazine??" sabay hampas ko sa lamesa

"Boobs!" nabigla niyang sagot na nagpalaki ng mata ko at siya namang lakas ng tawa ni Mia.

"Pervert!" Saad ko at hinablot ko ung magazine at tinapon sa gilid.

"Mia!" May pagbabanta sa boses ko ng hindi pa rin siya tumigil sa pagtawa...

"That was epic!" Naginhale exhale pa ang bruha.. "Sorry Besh & Ash... can't help it your cute..." Sabi pa ng kaibigan ko na lalong kinataas ng kilay ko... abat... "anyway pinatawag kita dito para sana humingin ng tulong its nothing much and a personal request if you can... Free ka ba sa Sabado? Baka pwede mo kameng matulungang maglipat ng mga gamit you see my friend here bought a new condo and we need a hand..."

"What! MIA!" nahintatakutan kong sabi ng marinig ang suggestion ng kaibigan. "You don't need to come! We have movers for that." Sabi ko...

"Its ok... Im free.... I would love to help..." saad ni Ali may sasabihin pa sana siya pero nagring ang phone ni Ali at nagpaalam na kelangan ng bumaba... But before she left, I heard a lady shouting darling on the other line... Seriously.... Darling??
