Protecting What's Hers

Katherine Pov

I took a seat besides my cousin on the sofa and took a piece of fashion magazine sa taas ng coffee table while crossing my legs as I scan through the pages.

Chastity's browsing silently on the social media while glancing on me from time to time. Probably want to thoroughly chismis the deal between me and Brendan. Knowing her, hindi talaga ako tatantanan neto hangga't sa di niya makuha ang gusto.

I let out a deep breath and close the magazine sa taas ng lap ko atsaka siya tiningnan. "Spill it. What do you want to know?"

She shut her phone off, placing them on her side and faced me. "Just wondering lang kung ano talaga nangyari kanina".

"Brendan threatened me". I suddenly said kung saan na ubo ang babae sa gilid ko.

She wiped her lips at hinarap ako. "What? Why? Kanina lang eh nagtutukaan pa kayo pag dating ko".

"For goodness sake Chastity, hindi kami naghahalikan and I will never let my lips get stained with his dirty soul".

It's true. That bastard cornered me in my desk. Talagang desperado na itong masagip ang company nila. He'll do anything just to save it from bankruptcy.

"You know I can have my hand stained just to have what I want Katherine. Hindi pweding mawala ang kompanyang pinaghirapan nina papa ".

Napayukom ang mga palad ko when I remembered exactly what he have said. Nakakahiya dahil naabutan pa kami ng pinsan ko at ni Felicity na sa ganoong position. Knowing that my cousin has a false assumption about our position, ano pa kaya yung nasa isip ng isa.

"The kid".

"What about her?" Napadako ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"Alam ko yung mga ganung tinginan Katherine. I never saw you been this amazed with someone who talked back to you".

"You're out of your mind if you think that I'm interested with my student Cha".

She took a sip on the tea that I have my assistant poured earlier paglabas ni Felicity ng office. Yung babaeng yun. The way her tongue rolled just to talked back with me is very amusing.

I never like people who doesn't listen at lalong lalo na yung sumasagot. That girl should learn how to treat her superior with respect lalong lalo na inside the university.

"You sure hindi ka interesado? Baka kainin mo yang sinabi mo".

Napatingin ako sa kanya. "You know how professional I' am when it comes to my career. Never underestimate that".

"Yeah sure cousin but is she single? What's her name?"

"Her name and relationship status is non of your concern. Wag mo siyang idagdag sa collection mo Chastity".

Knowing her, madami-dami naring babae ang pumupunta sa bahay nila at yun ang inirireklamo ni tita sa akin. Girl's will go there, beg for the presence of this babaerong cousin of mine.

"Hindi ka pa nga umaamin pinagdadamot mo na". She shrug her shoulder at ibinaling ang attention sa phone. "Pero samahan mo nga ako sa cafeteria. Wala pa akong kain eh".
