Taming My Ruthless Husband (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 10

Suffer

"Ma'am, someone wanted to see you."

Mula sa binabasang papeles, dumako ang tingin ko sa intercom ng marinig ang boses ni Jenny.

"Wala siyang appointment pero nagmamatigas na pumasok. Should I let her in?"

Humilig ako sa swivel chair bago minasahe and sintido. Ano naman kaya ang kailangan niya?

"Open the door for her, Jenny. And please give us something to drink. Thank you," I answered.

Right after that, I heard the sound of the door opening. Nagtagpo ang tingin namin at nakita ko ang ngisi niya.

"Ang loyal pa rin ng secretary mo. Sa sobrang katapatan sa'yo, nakakairita na! Imagine, kanina pa ako nasa labas at hindi man lang ako pinapasok?!" she ranted.

Dumiretso siya sa couches na nasa gitnang bahagi ng opisina ko at doon sumalampak ng upo.

"Hell! She made me wait for ten minutes! My time is gold but because of your stupid secretary—"

"If you want to be entertained right away, make sure you have set an appointment prior to your visit."

Pagputol ko sa sasabihin niya. I don't want to hear her trash talk Jenny. Hindi magandang pakinggan.

"Naiisturbo mo ang trabaho ko. Pinalagpas ko lang ito sa ngayon pero sa susunod na pupunta ka rito at ganyan ang asal mo, I'll let the guard escort you out of my office."

She looked at me, glaring.

"Boastful,"

I nodded my head calmly.

"Yes, I am boastful. Kaya kung ayaw mong mas lalong mayabangan sa'kin, sabihin mo ang pakay mo. I don't have much time to waste with you Miss Navarro."

Inilahad ko ang kamay sa mga papeles na nakalatag sa lamesa para ipakitang marami pa akong gagawin. Yes, she's Attorney Navarro. The one who's always have a bitter perspective of me. Na hindi ko alam kung bakit at paano nagsimula.

She glanced at my table and her lips formed into a sneering smile.

"Isuko mo ang kasong hinahawakan mo. Kahit anong gawin mo, hindi ka mananalo."

Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Come again?"

"I want you to drop the case of my client against Ryan Valencio."

Napatitig ako sa kaniya ng ilang sandali bago natawa. Her brow's meet and I can already feel her agitation.

"Is that all?" I asked.

"We both know the real stand of your client. A rapist and a crazy stalker. Siya ang magpapalaglag sa'yo kaya hangga't hindi ka pa napapahiya, sumuko ka na." she said with a ghost of smirk.

Bumuntonghininga ako.

"Thanks for the concern but I wouldn't mind the humiliation I'd get.. as long as I fought fairly."

Tumayo siya saka ako nilapitan.

"Just drop the fucking case! You don't know who your enemies are!"

I tilted my head.

"Mali ka riyan. I know very well who they are and that includes you. Now, kung wala kang magandang sasabihin, bukas ang pinto ko makakaalis ka na." I motioned my hand at the door.

Her jaw clenched. "Kung hindi ka makukuha sa matinong usapan, fine then. Name your price and we will gladly pay you. Triple pa."

"Are you that desperate to win against me, Miss Navarro?" patuya kong tanong. I folded both of my arms on the table and leaned against my palm. "Natalo pa lang kita nang nakaraan, kaya ba gagamitin mo na ngayon ang pera para lang.. masabing nanalo ka laban sa akin?"
