Irritation and frustration are the feelings I felt as soon as I left that building. Sobrang nalilito na ako sa pinaggagawa niya. Ano ba talagang plano niya? Bakit niya pa ako iniistorbo sa sinasabi niyang ligawan niya ako?

Clearly he has his woman. Ano na naman 'to? Another scandal for me again? Third party? Is he really that determined to make me a home wrecker? To ruined my image? For what? For his own satisfaction?

That bastard!

Why would he do this? I am so confused. Is this has something to do with our past? Trying to get back at me? For leaving him? Diba dapat maging masaya siya kasi bumitaw na nga ako sa kanya?... or he's not happy because as soon as I left, he was force to be with Fritzie.

Damn it! All the thoughts that crept inside my head are all irrational and unreasonable. It's like it doesn't correlate at all. Definitely he's not being unreasonable over something as petty as this right?

I sighed heavily. Once again, he's messing with my mind. Pagkauwi ko sa araw na iyon, I tried to distract myself from doing the blue print of the house of Nathan instead.

Paulit ulit kasi na pumapasok sa isip ko ang mukha nong babae at ang mukha nong asungot na sobrang saya tingnan habang tumatawa sila. I closed my eyes tightly. Why is this staying in my head?!

Kinabukasan naman ay na-disappoint ako kasi wala na ang driver kasi nga sinabi ko na hindi ko kailangan. Magpapahatid nalang sana ako kasi sinilip ko kanina at tama nga ang hinala ko, nasa labas na naman ang gago.

"Akala ko ba ayaw mo kumuha ng driver? Bakit naghahanap ka ngayon?" Si Mommy na lumabas ng bahay kasunod sa akin.

Umiling nalang ako.

"Nevermind mom. Aalis na po ako," at kiniss siya sa cheek bago humugot ng malalim na hininga at lumabas.

Pagkalabas ko, just like yesterday, Cade is leaning on his Tesla while crossing his arms on his chest with his now white button down shirt with three button open revealing his chest a bit and black sleek slacks with black shoes.

Umirap ako ng magpang-abot ang aming titig. His stares are so dark, the usual but more intense now. Busangot ang mukha niya ngayon. Kita ko ring umiigting ang panga niya habang tumayo siya ng maayos. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya dahil parang nangangatog ang tuhod ko.

Gaya kahapon, inignora ko na naman siya at nagsimulang maglakad palabas ng subdivision. I regret so many things now. Why I didn't learn to drive and why I told the driver yesterday that he doesn't need to drive me anymore.

Sumabay na naman siya at tinawag ako sa masuyong boses pero hindi ko ito binalingan. Sumakay na rin ako ng taxi at dumiretso sa building. In the building, a bouquet of flowers was on my desk as I arrive and I saw a letter.

I'm sorry. It's not what you think. Let's talk baby, please.

-Cade

Napairap na naman ako. It's not what you think? Sinong niloloko niya. Hindi na ako magpapadala sa kanya.

Sa tanghali, I joined my team for lunch and I didn't expect what happened. Cade joined us too and I can sense all my teammates are surprised and tense. Who wouldn't? The CEO decided to joined lunch with his employees.

Napasapo ako sa noo ko. He didn't brought me a lunch now. Glad he understood me but this, this is not okay for me. The whole lunch, pormal na nag-uusap ang mga teammates ko habang ako ay tahimik. Ramdam kong limitado ang galaw nila at ang pag-uusap marahil ay dahil sa kasama namin ngayon. I've heard some of my teammates opinion of him, medyo mainitin ang ulo at strict na CEO daw ito.
