CHAPTER 36

"You do know I am on vacation right?"

Napangiti ako sa sungit ng pagkakasabi ni Dallas, ang pinsan ni Selene at exclusive interior designer ng Versailles.

"You have efficient people, Dallas. They can do it without you."

"Fine. Whatever. Nakita ko na ang pictures ng place. You have a pretty nice property, Gov."

On my third year as mayor, I bought a cheap piece of land on top of a mountain. Mahirap puntahan iyon at kailangan pang pagawaan ng kalsada. People didn't see the beauty of the location. It was overlooking both the province itself and the wide ocean on the other.

On my second term as the governor, I was able to finish the house that I was building. It was six years in the making. Even my parents didn't know all about it until recently. 

I feel lazy to decorate it yet so it was bare. Ngayon, I had the exact look and feel that I want in my head.

"Don't f*cking tell me it's an all-white house again like that monstrous and boring house of yours."

Natawa ako. "No. I want a different one this time. I want it cozy and warm."

"Lilipat ka na ba finally?"

Tinignan ko si Chinn na nakatulog di kalayuan sa akin. "Yes."

"Alone?"

"No. With someone."

"Damn! If I only knew a woman would change your taste in house interiors I would have pushed Selene to you harder."

I chuckled. "Yes. I finally found someone to make that house into a home."

"You got it bad man."

"I do."

"I'll send my team as soon as your available. Send me the schedule."

"Thanks." 

Bumalik na ako sa opisina ko sa bahay nang makatanggap ako ng tawag kay Erwin.

"Erwin."

"Gov. Kailan po kayo babalik?"

"Next week pa sana. May problema ba?"

"May mga nagrereport po sa amin na hinaharass daw po sila ng mga tauhan ni Formosa. Lalo na po yung staff niyo sa capitol."

Napabuntong-hininga ako. Looks like this old man won't give me a break anytime soon.

"Okay. Babalik na kami bukas agad."

"Ingat po Gov. Tawagan niyo lang po ako kung may kailangan namin kayong sunduin."

When I ended the call, I went down to where Chinn was. Umupo ako sa tabi nito at hinaplos ang buhok nito. Dahil doon ay nagising ito. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Kylo..."

"We might have to go home tomorrow."

"Oh. Is there a problem?"

"The old man is at it again. He's harassing my employees to get information about my whereabouts."

"Why do you not fight back, Kylo?" Tuluyan na itong bumangon.

"Because if we can fix it through diplomacy, why not?"

"He attempted to kill you multiple times. Where's the f*cking diplomacy there?"
