KIDNAPPED BY A MAFIA BOSS (Under Revision)

CHAPTER THREE

While I was getting ready para sa lakad ko, katok agad ni Lucas ang bumungad sa'kin. Kung hindi pa siya kumatok malamang aabutin siya nga siyam-siyam para mapansin ko.

He's leaning on my door's room habang inaantay akong matapos sa ginagawa ko.

"Going somewhere?" Agad niyang tanong.

"Well, sort of. Wala pa naman akong ginagawa ngayon so I decided to tour myself around habang busy pa kayo," I answered while packing some things on my bag.

Bakit hindi pa ako tinatawagan ni Venice simula kahapon at ngayon?

He walks through the door at naupo sa kung saan and nodded his head na parang ina-analyze ang gagawin.

"Since wala naman akong ginagawa sa ngayon, pwede kitang samahan sa lakad mo para 'di ka mahirapang hanapin ang lugar na pupuntahan mo. I can be your tour guide and a driver at the same time," and then ended his line with a wink.

I stopped from what I'm doing and faced Lucas with a sigh. "Lucas, it's fine. I can drive on my own," convincing him.

Ayos lang naman sa'kin na ipag-ldrive ako ng pinsan ko pero ayokong naaabala ang tao ng dahil sa'kin.

"Clarity, I insist. I promise hindi ako mangungulit. I'll just drive for you para naman makabonding tayo. What do you think?"

Kahit na umayaw ako sa pinsan kong ubod ng kulit, he won't accept a 'no' as an answer.

What choice do I have?

Looks like he's waiting for my answer kahit na matagalan pa ako sa pagsagot.

"Oo na, sige na!" I exclaimed.

I saw how his eyes widened. "Talaga? Really? Pumapayag ka?" He asked happily.

See? Ganiyan ka liit ang kasiyahan niya. Parang bata.

I just nodded my head and continue packing my things while Lucas was happily jumping like a kid. Silly.

As what he had promise, tahimik lang siya sa buong byahe at hindi ako kinulit.

Mahabahaba din ang naging byahe namin. Buti nalang talaga at tinanggap ko ang offer ni Lucas sa'kin, kung hindi parang na lantang gulay na talaga ako kapag nakaharap ko ang mga manager ng a-applyan kong trabaho.

Oh, I almost forgot. Yeah, na pagpasiyahan kong maghanap ng trabaho for the meantime para naman may experience ako sa world of business. I want to train myself para in the future, I can handle my own business perfectly. Part of the training narin. I searched about Travis Scott Villacorta and he is a multi-billionaire pala kaya nagdesisyon akong mag-apply sa kompaniya niya to gather informations about him. Easy peasy!

After ng mahabahabang byahe, here we are. Finally.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Lucas asked, worried was written on his face.

I smiled para ipakita sa kaniyang okay lang ako. "Thanks sa concern, Luke. But I'll be fine. I promise."

He smiled back. "Ano pa bang magagawa ko? Basta, if anything happens to you, you already know who to call."

We bid our goodbyes when he started the engine.

Agad akong nakaramdam ng kakaibang excitement nang tignan ko ang building na a-applyan ko ng trabaho.

Villacorta Empire. Not a bad name.

Taas noo kong pinasok ang kay laking building ng mga Villacorta. I'm getting hype!

[ "How's the interview?" ] Ria asked.

Nasa isang café ako malapit sa pinag-applyan kong trabaho since Lucas had an urgent meeting with the stockholders ng company nila.
