A Glimpse Of Us

Chapter 12: Wonders of Wonderbitch

Claudio

They kept replaying the news report as I sighed for the hundredth time. The man to my side who was actually the person I punched, still having to use an ice package for his jaw. Not really pissed, pero it's just me offended in the way he sees in Callum.

"Mr. Vergera this could go controversial" She paused the video.

"Relax, if I release a statement na hindi ako iyan sa video, I'll have that video taken down" Claudio sighs.

"Yeah like the previous issues" The man whispered.

"I've handled my situation for the past couple years Mr. Garcia, and in a snap of my finger, your company goes down" He stood up.

"And be lucky I'm still considerate to help you, meeting dismissed"

Lumabas na si Claudio sa meeting room when he met a frantic and exhausting Callum

"Mr. Hernandez ano ang ginagawa mo-"

"Sir whatever happened kahapon is I am sorry talaga for my behavior. It was either me being messed up or naging lasing lang pero please don't fire me to the point I-"

Claudio just dragged Callum sa kaniyang office and let him sit on the couch.

"I think I should be the one who's sorry" He sighs.

"Pero yung media, papaano mo takpan iyan?" Callum says.

"I can handle anything Mr. Hernandez, and the only person who can debunk a rumor by me is me. So wala kang dapat may abala" Claudio smiles as he sat on the chair.

"Bakit ambait mo sa akin? Kahapon pumunta ka sa apartment ko dahil nagpapacheck up ka tas concern ka sa living space ko? Tapos sabi ni Santi hinatid mo ako pauwi. Bakit?" Callum asks as Claudio sighed.

"I've made some pretty bad mistakes, and I think I was overreacting lang. Well just because you look like someone doesn't mean I should blame you" Claudio says as Callum remembers his backstory.

So the reason he treated Callum like shit is because the mindset ni Claudio is believing na Lucas is the only guy he'll ever look on.

"I'm sorry I reminded you of him" Callum rubs his shoulders.

"It's fine, pero bakit kailangan mong tumakbo dito sa kompanya? Tinawagan mo ako sana kasi" Claudio raises a brow.

"I just want you to hear it from me sir, not through a phone" Callum says.

"Pero, are we okay? Uhmm okay ba tayo?" He points as Callum looks away.

"I think I'd rather not involve myself with someone like you sir" He reasons as Claudio furrows.

"But I-" biglang may tumawag sa phone nito and Claudio sighed.

"It's Jonas, kailangan ko itong sagutin. Would you like some coffee or-"

"No thanks, uuwi lang ako" Claudio could tell he's upset of what happened sa kaniya as Callum walks off.

"Jonas? Napatawag ka?" Claudio answers the phone.

"Kuya, kakanood lang namin ni ate ng balita. May rumor ka naman daw?" He asks.

"Relax Jo, magiging okay ang lahat. Maglalabas ako ng press conference mamaya tas balikan ko kayo" He says.

"Ate is pissed of nga eh, she jokes about getting the lawsuit para sa iyo" He laughs.

"Pabayaan mo ate mo, pero don't worry about me muna. Kamusta kayo jan sa farm?" He asks.

"Iyan nga eh, tita is doing well and the harvest is also doing great. She misses kuya much kada harvest season" Jonas says.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure those harvest are delicious. Even wala ang kuya mo, I hope you can make your tita happy naman" He smiles.
