Chapter 7
THIS was my first time to get overtime for work. Maaga kasi ako laging umuuwi pero ngayon parang ayoko ng lumabas ng opisina. I can't face him right now and I know that he's still outside doing some paper works.
Tumitig ako sa monitor ng desktop ko. Since I don't have something to do, I will just watch my agents who are under my care. All of them are doing well these past few months. No complications that I needed to clean and hide from my father.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras akong nakatingin sa monitor ko dahil natanggal lang nag tingin ko sa dito nang may kumatok sa pinto.
"Ma'am, aren't you going home?" Tanong sakin ni Haven mula sa labas.
"I will. You can go home now." Wika ko rito at hindi naman na ito nagsalita.
I sighed and locked my computer and put every important documents in a vault that is made by me. Inayos ko ang gamit ko saka ko lumbs ng opisina ko.
"Oh? I thought you will go with him later." Napatingin naman ako sa taong nagsalita sa likod ko.
God! I didn't even hear his footsteps or even his breathing!
"I will go home whenever I want." Wika ko sa kanya saka diretsong naglakad sa elevator matapos i-lock ang opisina.
Napakunot ang noo ko nang makita kong nasa likod ko si Haven. I was trained to hear footsteps but I am now bothered because I can't actually hear his footsteps. Hindi ko alam kung may diperensya ba ngayon nag tenga ko o sadyang tahimik lang talaga maglakad si Haven.
Nang bumukas na ang elevator ay pumasok na ako sa loob and I know na nakasunod naman sakin si Haven and I am trying to hear his footsteps but I can just hear a faint sound of the sole of his shoes. A normal person can't even hear his footsteps!
"Do you have a car with you?" I asked him to break the silence between us.
"None but I can commute through jeep." Maagap na sagot nito.
"You've been doing for three months?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"Uh... Yes?" Nagtatakang sagot nito.
"But there are no vehicles that you can commute at this time." Nakakunot kong wika. Paano to nakakauwi.
"It was just today that I will be coming home late. I usually go home at 10 or 11 o'clock." Napatango tango naman ako.
Did he wait for me? It's already 1 in the morning.
"I can hitch you. It's already midnight, wala ng sasakyan na dadaan diyan sa labas." Wika ko.
"Don't bother, Ma'am. I can handle myself." Magalang na pagtanggi nito.
"I have a car. I can drive you to your house." I told him.
"Nah. It's okay. I can walk to the terminal and just ride a bus." Pagtanggi nito.
"Come on. Minsan lang ako maging mabait. Just take it as my payment for defending me to those assholes." I told him kaya nang bumukas ang elevator sa lobby, I pressed the closed button.
Hindi na din naman nakatanggi si Haven nang makarating kami sa parking lot. Nauuna akong maglakad sa kanya ngunit nang makarating kami sa kotse and unlocked the car, he opened the door for me.
"Thank you." At pumasok na ako sa loob. I started the engine and waited for Haven to get in the car.
"You have a nice car." Sabi niya.
"Yeah. I got this from my first payment on my work." I proudly told him.
I got this from my first pay on being an agent. I told to myself that I will get a gift for myself when I get my pay because I worked hard for that money. Even if we have aa company of cars, I bought a car from our company and dad let me when I told him my reason.

Action"A wolf in a sheep's clothing," I called myself like that but they never found out because they were all deceived by my angelic features. People are easily deceived by my face and my action but they won't ever see the hidden wolf in me except for on...
