DAYS passed like nothing happened, Adler is still sticking with Khayeen. Parang wala lang siya nakita noong nakaraang araw. But Khayeen noticed na halos ang clingy na ni Adler.

Asking where she is and what she is doing, syempre she has to lie pag nasa trabaho siya. He can't know what she is working lalo na iniinbistigahan sila ni Adler.

She were again working and waiting for her target, malayuan ang ibinigay ni Aikros na trabaho niya. Kaya she can relax on the top of the building while waiting.

"Na background check mo na ba yung manliligaw mo?" Aikros started talking to her like normal again. She just shook her head at tinapon ang sigarilyo sa basurahan na nasa tabi lang niya. "Sullivan ang apelyido niya diba?" Tanong ulit niya

Tumango siya and then she looked at him, "paano mo nalaman ang apelyido niya?" Tanong ko pabalik sa kanya, he just chuckled. "Nasa uniform niya eh."

"You background checked him." She stated, "I was curious what's he like, kaya pinabackground check ko siya kay dad."

He then stayed silent when he said that, "just be careful when you are around him." She just nod, I guess hindi maganda ang lumabas sa background check niya but she can't see through him like what she can do sa mga nasa paligid niya.

"Ano ang kinalabasan ng background check mo?" Tanong niya dito, "mas mabuti ng di ko muna sabihin, I want you to know what he is without knowing his background. "

"Is it bad?" Tanong ulit niya pero hindi siya sinagot ng lalaki at tumayo ito. "You will know sooner or later, walang sikretong di nabubunyag."

She became confuse dahil sa sinabi ni Aikros, what does he mean na walang sikretong di nabubunyag. May tinatago ba si Adler sa kanya, she hopes na wala itong tinatago sa kanya.

AFTER her work was done, bumalik siya sa kompanya para tingnan if meron pa siyang trabaho na gagawin.

"You can go home, you have two days off. Masyado ka ng nagtatrabaho" she was shocked when her big boss told her that. She was mesmerized by the lady who was in front of her, ngayon lang niya ito ulit nakita since her big boss was always inside her office doing her work.

Her big boss was moving so awkwardly, "ilagay ko lang po ito sa opisina ko." She said and excused herself at pumunta sa loob ng opisina niya. She put down her bow and arrow at nag change ng outfit niya.

She left the building and rode her motorcycle pabalik sa bahay niya, she just hope na nandun si Adler para may kasama siyang kumain.

SHE ARRIVED at her house, nakita niya ang kotse ni Adler na nasa may garahe ng bahay niya. She also parked her motorcycle, pumasok siya sa loob ng bahay.

"I'm home."

"Nasa kusina ako!" Sabi ng lalaki sa may kusina, lumakad siya papunta sa may kusina and smiled at him. "How's work, love." He leaned towards her and sneaked his hand on her waist.

She told him that she has work but di niya sinasabi kung ano trabaho niya, he don't need to know kung ano ang trabaho niya. Baka lang mapahamak ang mga kasama niya sa trabaho if nalaman ni Adler ang trabaho niya.

Lalo na at iniimbestigahan niya ito, "it's tiring, Addie." She squeezed his arm and smiled, "sit down, food will be ready as soon as possible." Adler squeezed her cheeks a little and put a kiss on her forehead.

Wala pa rin silang label, she never gave him the label kahit ilang months na rin nanliligaw ang lalaki. She needs to hear na mahal siya nito then she will say yes to him.

She sat down and just stared at him making food for them, her heart ache nung naalala niyang hindi siya pwedeng ma inlove sa lalaki. She needs to reject him, not love him.
