Badly Hurt (Tyrant Series #1)

Chapter 33

*6 years later*

"Miss Reeve, I'll just have you sign something."

Grace, my secretary, and a Filipino also, walked inside my office and walked towards my table. She put down the paper that I will be going to sign. I read it first before signing it. After that, she walked out and went to her table outside my office.

I leaned back in my chair and sighed. It's been six years since I went back here to London. I was with my mom and Kuya. We left dad in the Philippines, but after a month, he followed us. Nag-usap na sila ni mom and after nun, naging okay na sila bigla. 

Sumunod naman niya ako kinausap and he also say sorry. He explained to me everything pero parang may kulang. Parang may gusto pa siya sabihin pero pinipigilan niyang sabihin. Honestly, his reason doesn't make sense. He told me that it was not his intention to cheat on mom because that woman is just his college friend. But what's with the holding hands? I'm not questioning the part that they were alone together, but the part that they are holding each other's hands? What is that? Even though I'm not satisfied with his reasons, wala na akong nagawa. I saw how my mom got so happy after they talked, and I'm okay with that. As long as they're happy.

Sa loob ng anim na taon, naging tahimik ang buhay ko. Napag-desisyonan nila dad na ako ang maghahandle ng company dito sa London while si Kuya naman ang naghahandle ng company namin si Philippines. I became an intern here in our company and I also took a seminar. It's very hard at first, pero nasanay din ako. My dad and my brother was there to guide me and I'm very thankful for that.

My friends  that I left in the Philippines, Rae and Arya, alam nila lahat ang nangyari and before ako umalis ay nasabi ko din sa kanila iyon. Iyak kami nang iyak noon habang naka video call. Until now we're still keeping it touch. Minsan ay nagtatawagan kaming tatlo para kamustahin ang isa't-isa. 

"Ree Ree!"

Naputol ang aking pag-iisip nang biglang pumasok si Elisha sa office ko. She's one of my friend way back in high school. Tumakbo siya palapit sa table ko kahit naka-heels pa ito. 

"Why didn't you attent the party last night?" hinihingal pa ito at napaupo sa isang upuan sa tapat ng table ko.

"I told you that I'm busy." sabi ko habang nakatingin sa mga paper sa table ko.

"Don't you have any free time? You've been working for like a year already!"

"You know my position in the company, Elisha. Where's Nikko?" pag-iiba ko nang usapan.

Sakto namang bumukas ang pintuan at dumungaw doon si Nikko. Nang makita niya kami ni Elisha at tuluyan na siyang pumasok at lumapit sa amin.

"I have been noticing that you two are just casually walking inside my office. Have you forgotten that I'm still your boss?" I glared at them.

Sabay naman silang umiling at ngumiti ng hilaw.
