Hate Me Until You Can't [PSLU #4] [GL]

Sylvia's POV

Elise Olivia Salvador:
Where are you?

Me:
On the way to cafeteria, why?

Elise Olivia Salvador:
Come here now.

Dali dali kong inilagay sa bulsa ang phone matapos kong mabasa ang huling sinabi niya. I don't need to ask where she is because she gave me her schedule without me asking for it. Indirectly man, pero alam kong assurance ang binibigay niya rin.

I admit, I was bewildered at first kung bakit bigla siyang nag bago ng actions pero naisip ko na maybe she is slowly opening up to me, and being able to be comfortable with me, which is I'm glad. She's becoming herself.

Elise Olivia Salvador:
Make it fast.

Atat na atat ka masyado makita ako, Elise.

Saktong pagliko ko nakita ko na agad ang office niya, but just when I was about to twist the doorknob, I heard some familiar voices inside the room.

"You're straight Elise, that's what you told me before. But when Portia came, your sense became crumbled and you became weak!"

"So? Your point is?"

"My point is, bakit pati pinsan tinutuhog mo ha? Balak mo talaga gamitin ang Acozta-Lawson para mabayaran ang utang ng tatay mo?"

"And who's fault why my father got into debt? It was you who introduced that gamble resort to him, and it was never in my mind to used them, they are my friends. I will never came to the point of making them as my toys. I'm not like you, Amelia. Grow up."

"So, this is about me now? At sa tingin mo magugustuhan ka naman ng playgirl na yan? You're out of your mind! Her family even cancelled your engagement because of—"

"Don't even go there, Amelia. I'm warning you. At least hindi ako nagkakagusto sa taong may ka-relasyon na. I know my limits, I know my boundaries. Unlike you, a bitch."

A loud slap and thud came after, dali dali kong binuksan ang pinto nang madatnan ko na balak nang suntukin ni Amelia si Elise. Both of their eyes widen when they saw me standing within the door, my hand turned into fist.

Agad nag init ng ulo ko nang makita ko ang namumulang pisngi ni Elise at namumuong dugo sa gilid ng labi niya.

"Get your filthy hands off her." I ordered her with a firm voice.

"Excuse me filthy?!" Maarteng bigas nito. Really? That's the part where she got upset? Paano ba to naging kaibigan ng pinsan ko. She should be more becareful with this girl.

"Bibitawan mo o uuwi kang walang pera na kahit ni isang centavos?" I warned.

When my cousin said that there would always be a day that we have to use our name in order to protect someone, this is what she meant huh?

"Tsk."

Slowly, binitawan niya ang panga ni Elise. Her breathing then became faster— it alarmed me immediately. She's clearly having a panic attack.

"Leave this university immediately or I'll have to put you into the on-hold list. You know that I can do that even with a snap of my fingers, right?"

"Really? You're protecting that b—" I cut her off immediately, there's no way that I would let her call my person in those explicit words in which she doesn't deserve to hear.

"Don't make me use my last straw card, Amelia." I looked her directly in the eyes. "I can buy you, and all of your assets, company, and everything that your family have just within a one blink and one phone call."
