Special Chapter 7 - King Azure & Queen Deniz

King Azure Adriano-Kingsley POV

Being the CEO of Kingsley global is a serious job for King Azure. It's not a tough job for him since he was trained by his Father at an early age. Mostly, he takes every work seriously. It's their family's legacy to make Kingsley Global stand high and mighty in the Corporate World.

Just like the usual days that passed, Azure spent almost all his time working his ass off in the company. And this is how he enjoys his life. And this day is no different with the other days that passed.

Still busy reviewing the reports, someone knocked on his office door.

"Come in."

"Sir King, Mr. Santillan is here."

He sighed as he clicked the save button of the reports on his laptop that he needs to review again later. Because he's sure of one thing. He won't be able to focus on work when his love sick fool cousin is around.

"Let him in." He said while still focusing on his laptop as he organized the files he needs to review again.

"King."

Agad na nalukot ang mukha nya dahil sa pinsan na halata pa rin sa boses ang pagkalungkot. And that's the only time he looked at his cousin who looks so hopeless.

"What now Vincent?"

Vincent chuckled, "Geez! No good afternoon, have a seat?"

"None."

At pabagsak itong naupo sa visitor's couch kaya't napailing nalang sya. His cousin really looks so cast down.

"Seriously Bud, does my office looks like a place for you to sulk each and every fuckin' day?"

Vincent sighed heavily, "What can I do? I might go insane when I'm alone at my office."

"And you want me to drag in your loneliness?"

"Can't you just sympathize with me?"

"What for?"

Napatitig sa kanya si Vincent at napailing. "Oo nga pala. Hindi mo pa pala kasi nararanasang mainlove. Your life revolves around your work."

King didn't bother answering his love sick fool cousin. Ang pinaka-ayaw nya sa lahat, iyong nag-eexplain ng sarili nya ng paulit-ulit. But he can't changed the fact that his cousin is somehow right. Well, muntik naman na talaga syang ma-inlove. Good thing he got his emotions controlled.

He believes that commitment and relationship can ruin oneself if not taken care properly. With how his mind works right now, he'll surely will take someone for granted. That's why, he doesn't want to fall inlove...

For now.

"I'm enjoying it. Less stress. No hassle. No overthinking."

Vincent laughed at him, "The reason why I want to hang out with you is because your ways of thinking are somehow cool."

He looked at his cousin flatly, "Should I thank you then?"

"Then welcome Bud?"

And since his cousin needs some words of encouragement, he has to say something to him to make him feel optimistic.

"Kapag ayaw na sayo, sumuko ka na."

But first, mess with him.

Vicent gave him a dagger look, "Easy for you to say since you're not in my shoes."

"Couz." Vincent didn't answered so he continued. "Instead of sulking here, why don't you go woo the one you love?"

Vincent looked at him in disbelief, "Ano ba talaga King?"
