Sunsets and Broken Promises (SPADE Series #1)

Chapter 47

R-18

I'm finally back in my apartment feeling gross and sticky. Meanwhile, Killian told me that he still needs to attend an important meeting, which is why I'm left alone with Noelle who's currently scolding me. "Engineer! why weren't you picking up my calls last night!?"

"Ah, Noelle quiet down a little, will 'ya?"

Nakita kong namula ang buong pag mumukha niya sa inis at galit sa akin. Tumayo ito sa gilid ng kama ko at parang nanay na pinagmasdan ang itsura ko ngayon. "It's not like you to be this wasted, Engineer. What happened last night? you look so messy and. . . somewhat weird" she said disgustingly.

I let out a loud sigh and closed my eyes. "I met him." I spouted without hesitation.

"Who?"

"My ex boyfriend"

Naramdaman kong gumalaw ang kama kaya naimulat ko ang mga mata ko at nakitang nakaupo na sa tabi si Noelle, halatang gustong malaman ang buong kwento na para bang isang teenager. "Did something happen?" she asked with a smirk plastered on her face.

I rolled eye eyes and shook my head, which disappoints her. "Why would you even ask that? nothing happened, we just exchanged a few words to each other"

"That's it?" she asked, still wanting some more story.

I nodded. "Why would I lie? and besides, he's a busy man. Kaizer doesn't have time to mess around"

Napatango-tango ito tsaka napangiti sa akin. "I see, so your ex's name is Kaizer" nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napaupo agad katulad niya nang ma-realize na nabanggit ko ang pangalan ni Kaizer. "What's his surname? c'mon, let me just check if this guy really deserves a spot in your life" kinurot pa neto ang tagiliran ko.

"Shut up, Noelle. You're just going to stalk him and probably add him on his socials"

Siya naman ngayon ang umirap. "Duh? that's like the point, Engineer. If he's your ex, then that means that guy is beyond unreachable, right?" tanong niya sa akin.

"You're flattering him too much," tumayo na ako mula sa kama at napag-isipan na maligo ulit. "Unreachable is exagerration" kinuha ko ang twalya mula sa side table bago pumasok sa loob ng banyo.

"I'm curious, Engineer! you've never told me directly about your ex's past! won't you mind sharing a little bit of information?" she begs and followed me inside the bathroom.

Hinarap ko ito at nakita na wala siyang balak umalis hangga't walang nalalaman tungkol kay Kaizer. "He was the captain of his basketball team when we were still college students--"

"So he's an athlete now?"

Umiling ako. "He's a doctor" Napanganga si Noelle kaya tinulak ko na ito palabas ng banyo tsaka ngumiti. "Please prepare my clothes. We're going to visit someone"

"W-What-- wait! I need to know his surname--"

Sinarado ko na ang pinto at sinabunutan ang sarili ko. Why did I even managed to mess up in front of Noelle? saying Kaizer's name will get me in trouble. And besides, knowing my assistant, she wouldn't be satisfied without knowing the whole story between me and Kaizer. I spent almost an hour cleaning myself, to the point that Noelle had to knock six times on the door just to make sure that I didn't fell asleep inside.
