The Billionaire's Wicked Dare

Chapter 34

"YOU SEEMED so stiff, Miss Villasanta," Sir Gresena commented.

I heaved a deep sigh as I reclined on my seat. Nandito na ako ngayon sa suite niya dahil sa napag-usapan na pag-kape kasama niya.

"Why I wouldn't be?" tanong ko pabalik bago sumimsim sa kapeng nasa harap ko.

Sir Gresena chuckled lightly. "Parang hindi naman tayo magkakilala."

"Kilala kita, Sir, but I don't remember that we're that close enough for me not to be stiff on your presence," mahabang lintaya ko.

He raised an eyebrow. "Mas tumaray ka."

"Is that a compliment?" I asked as I smirked. "Well, a compliment it is."

He chuckled as he shook his head as if he couldn't believe what he was currently facing. He also took a sip on his coffee and he looked like he was thinking of a topic we could talk about.

Wala rin naman akong sasabihin sa kaniya kaya tahimik lang ako at paunti-unting sumisim sa tasa ng aking kape. Kung tutuusin ay ayaw kong humarap sa kaniya. Pakiramdam ko rin ay mabubunyag ang kinalalagyan ko nang dahil sa kaniya.

I'm not yet ready... and I don't know when would I be ready to face them again. Hindi ko pa alam kung kaya ko na ba silang harapin nang hindi nasasaktan ng nakaraan.

"He's been waiting for you, Miss Villasanta." Sir Gresena broke the silence between us.

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him blankly. "Be specific."

He smirked. "Hinihintay ka niyang bumalik, Sean. Theodore's been waiting for you."

Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya nang marinig mula sa bibig niya ang pangalan ni Theodore.

"We already broke up," I nonchalantly replied.

"Really?" Sir Gresena chuckled. Nanatili namang nakaiwas ang paningin ko sa kaniya. Pinagkasya ko na lang ang aking mga mata sa hitsura ng suite. "That's not what he said to me."

"Hiwalay na kami. That's just it," I replied.

"You ghosted him," he pointed out.

My brows furrowed as I looked back at Sir Gresena who was intently looking at me now. Gone with the Sir Gresena who was a playful and a teasing one.

"I didn't," sagot ko.

"You just left, Sean," mariing sambit niya. "Bigla ka na lang umalis. Theodore believed that you fucking ghosted him."

"Theo and I were already over, Sir Gresena." I looked at him, making sure that he won't read my expression on my face nor my eyes. "Hiwalay na kami. Wala nang kami. He's not my boyfriend anymore. And lastly, tapos na ang dare namin."

He just chuckled as he shook his head. "He wanted you back."

"Stop bullshiting me, Sir Gresena," I firmly said as I closed my fists who were now resting on my thighs. "I'm sure that he's enjoying Lailah's company, and he doesn't want me back."

"Lailah?" he asked sarcastically. "Damn, woman. You didn't trust Theodore enough, did you?"

I became silent. Hindi agad ako makasagot sa tanong niyang 'yon. Pero sa nakalipas na taon ay pinaniwala ko ang aking sarili na pinagkatiwalaan ko siya pero sinira niya 'yon! He lied to me!

"I trusted him..." I whispered as I silently gritted my teeth.

"But not enough," he rebutted.

I looked straight into his eyes. "I came here as a respect for you, Sir Gresena, but this talk seems really not necessary. Should I take my leave already?"
