CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE: A GAME

"I... didn't..."

"Obviously you didn't,"

Tiningnan niya ulet ako, and I just took a deep breath to calm myself down dahil sa inis.

It's been exactly ten minutes since he fired that disrespectful girl and it's also been nine minutes since I've asked 'kung ano sapagalay niya ang mali sa ginawa 'nung babae sa kanya.

Obviously, this man is naive.

He didn't answer me and sinabi lang sa'kin na may insekto 'raw sa likod niya or sa suit niya 'raw.

And when I told him the truth na baka hinahawakan lang siya because that woman has bad intentions, medyo nabuksan 'yung mga mata niya.

I crossed both of my arms together against my chest and sighed.

"Ares, that woman was disrespectful and she also had bad intentions. She touched you," I said, again, sighing.

"I... know, pero... I didn't know about the last one. Hindi ko talaga alam--"

"OBVIOUSLY," I said, raising my voice, even standing up to face him.

"Hindi mo alam, you're so naive, so oblivious. Paano pa kaya Ares 'kung 'yung iba mo pang mga females models have the same exact intentions towards you," I spoke again as I try to calm myself down.

Goddamnit. Nagagalit ako. No, I know 'kung ano talaga ang nararamdaman ko but that... that!? This is crazy!

How many other female models like her are doing the same exact thing to him?

"I just... I thought she was being nice,"

"Being nice? Walang mabait sa humahawak sa'yo! Sa humuhubad sa suit mo! Sa tie mo 'rin!"

I felt myself getting even more frustrated kaya sinubukan 'kong pakalmahin ang sarili ko.

I know what I can do when I'm mad, that's why Quinten is scared of me.

"Next time, please make sure na hindi ka niya or 'kung sino pang ibang mga babae nang ganyan. That's almost sexual harassment and hindi mo alam na nangyayari pala 'yun sa'yo! You don't know, Ares, hindi--"

"Look, I'm not as naive as you think I am, Genevieve," he interrupts.

"Alam ko if they're doing something with those intentions, okay? Alam ko, she was being nice and bago siyang modelo dito sa agency. So, I didn't know... about it, hindi ko 'rin alam na ganun pala ang intensyon noya sa'kin," he added.

'Yun na lang? Lagi na lang 'didn't know about it'?

"At bakit ka ba ganyan?" bigla niyang tanong.

Natahimik ako for a few seconds before siya tumayo at tinitigaan ako nang mariin with a mysterious small smile on his face.

"You sound mad, angry...?" lalo lang lumaki ang ngiti niya sa sinabi ko.

Tiningnan ko siya with furrowed eyebrows and rolled my eyes so I could compose myself tsaka ko siya tinalikuran.

"Are you perhaps--"

"No,"

I didn't let him finish sa takot.

Sa takot 'kung ano pang sasabihin niya. I don't even want him to think about it, to think about anything.
