This was not happening.
Anong ginagawa niya dito?
Amelie, the Queen... Shit!
Feeling ko aatakehin ako ng altapresyon kahit na wala naman akong sakit na highblood. Gusto kong manakit. I wanted to throw something and smash it into Daxton and Amelie's head and maybe Caden's head. Kasalanan niya 'to lahat. Biglaang naresign ang junior architect niya pero sa lahat ba naman ng pwede ipalit bakit si Amelie pa?
Ang ganda ganda pa ng mood ko kanina pagdating ko dahil sa bilis ng progress ng trabaho namin. Ang dami na naming natapos sa tatlong linggo pa lamang simula ng mapili kami as designers ng DSI. Pag ganoon ng ganoon kaya naman matapos lahat ng designs and layouts in three months time kaysa sa orihinal na anim na buwan. At pag nangyari iyon, makakalaya na rin ako kay Daxton. I could have restored the peace of mind and inner calm that I always had before meeting him. Every time I saw him, it drove me to like him more, and I had to make it stop before it escalated to something like... love.
Well, let's get back to what happened a while ago. Ang dahilan bat nasira ang araw ko.
I was having a marvelous day, preparing for my 3D presentations when I heard the door of the conference room snap open. I got up from my seat, shuffled, and my eyes grew wide upon seeing Amelie walk in, followed by Daxton and Caden.
Ilang segundo akong di nakagalaw sa sobrang pagkabigla.
What the hell was she doing here?
Tinanguan ako ni Caden at lahat sila ay naupo while I was busy struggling to pacify myself.
Control, I need you now. I did breathing exercises. Deep, slow, rhythmic breaths to slow my heart rate and reduce my skyrocketing blood pressure.
Their gazes drifted to me. Caden looked at me oddly, lifting his brow, and looked at me like-what-are-you-doing?
Tiningnan ko siya pabalik. Well, glared actually, lifted an eyebrow, and curled my arms across my chest. It was my Bitch Mode Effect. I took a glance at Amelie (who's eyeing Daxton like a candy) then back at him, silently asking—'what-is-she-doing-here?' Sinulyapan nito si Amelie at doon na lamang niya nagets ang ibig sabihin ng masamang titig ko sa kanya.
"Oh Arch. Savanna, this is Arch. Amelie, my new assistant."
"Asan si Luke?" mataray kong tanong.
"He resigned for personal reasons."
"It's nice meeting you, Arch." Nilingon ko si Amelie at sumilay ang matamis na ngiti sa kanyang labi. Plastik ka, girl? Gusto kong masuka habang pinapanood siya. She never, as in never, smiled at me before. Even at GMM's and conventions, she never did. May instances na nagkasalubong ang mga titig namin dati pero irap lamang ang ibinalik nito sa akin.
I noticed Daxton in the corner of my eyes, watching me. Baka isipin pa niya na maldita ako kaya inabot ko ang nakalahad na kamay ni Amelie at binigyan siya ng pekeng ngiti. Pagkatapos noon ay ibinalik ko na ang atensyon ko sa laptop ko at sinimulan ang presentasyon ko.
Heck, what could I do? I was just being professional.
However, after thirty minutes of my presentation, I was starting to see red. Gusto kong mambalibag, hindi ng gamit... kundi ng tao. I couldn't finish my presentation because of that girl. Tuwing nag-eexplain ako ay lagi siyang sumasabat na akala mo naman siya ang nagprepara ng mga yun.
"Arch Savanna, what if we utilize the blue aluminum composite panel on the walls for the ground floor? I think it will be more elegant."
Huminga ko ng malalim.
