Gustavo Pocholo Salguero is the eldest grand son of Don Sergio Salguero, the chairman of the multi billion dollar company Salguero Tropic. He is married with Sandrine Avenida for three years. They are the greatest couple of their time, running an em...
He wasn't with me when I woke up. I tried to stop thinking about it but I have this gut wrenching fear on the back of my mind that maybe he said may revelations didn't affect the way he looks at me but it did.
Because I know. I know the way he looked at me when we first met. I know he thinks I'm this gold digging whore who's after Arnie's money. Why he decided to marry me in the first place will always be the biggest mystery of my life. These questions, these feelings... I buried them away for a long time, but when he asked me last night, it all came back like a never ending pandora's box.
My body is still sore from last night's extra curricular activities but I had a job to attend. Mabigat man ang katawan ay bumangon ako at nag-ayos. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na pulutin ang cellphone ko at tawagan siya. Ayokong mag-mukhang clingy nang dahil lang binuksan ko ang sarili ko sa kanya.
I wore a rose pink women's suit with matching pants. I paired it with a white chiffon long sleeved top with a ribbon in the middle. It was a little baggy but I liked how it looked on my body. I checked the time and I realized I was running late for a meeting so I immediately left the house.
I have a lot of thinking to do but I don't have the time. Gustave is not going anywhere anyway, I can just talk to him later after work.
"Madame! You're 8 am is already inside your office. You're coffee's brewing and all the paperworks that you need to sign are on your desk." Salubong sa akin ni Jane.
"Thank you, Jane. Did you ask our guests if they need anything?"
"Yes madame, they asked for some pastries and it's already on the way."
"Good, follow me. Take some notes down."
Pumasok ako sa loob ng opisina habang nakasunod sa akin si Jane. Nilingon ako ng dalawang representative mula sa Diamond Magazine. They usually focus on powerful women and I am their star for this month's issue.
"Good morning ladies, sorry to keep you waiting. Manila traffic is no joke!" Pasimpla kong pinunasan ang pawis sa noo ko.
"Mrs. Salguero! So nice to meet you, I'm Denise. This is Tera. We're in charge for your interview today." Tumayo ang babaeng nagpakilalang Denise at kinamayan ako. Pagkatapos ay kinamayan ko din ang kasama niyang tinawag niyang Tera at sabay na kaming umupo.
Noon ko lang napansin ang isang engrandeng flower arrangement sa coffee table. Hindi ko mabilang kung ilang pirasong rosas ang naroon. I saw the logo of my favorite florist on the box and a small envelope stuck in between some of the roses.

"Are these from you?" Maang na tanong ko sa dalawang bisita.
"No, madame. They were already here when we arrived." Sagot ni Denise.
"Mukhang kay Mr. Salguero po galing ito ah! Nako, nakakainggit naman. You're living the dream po talaga." Ani Tera.
"Would you mind if we take some photos? We want your article as raw as possible." Denise said.
