Avaricious Hearts

Chapter 15: The Million Pesos Worth of Date

CLEO'S POV

"Shot, Saskia?" Margaux offered me a shot. She's one of my co-stars in my newest TV drama.

Because I am so frustrated with Matthew, I accepted the offer to take the lead role of a TV series. And we're celebrating tonight for the contract signing this afternoon. We're on a high-end bar. I don't want to go, but I don't want to be a party pooper.

"Sure" I smiled at her and take the shot of tequila. I winced as I drank it and grimace when I took the lemon.

"Let's dance, ladies" yaya ni Paxton at nagpatiuna na patungo sa dance floor.

Ininom ko na muna ang order ko na bloody mary na kababa lamang ng waiter sa mesa bago ako nagpahila kay Margaux. Medyo FC siya pero okay na din.

I fake a big smile and dance with them at the dance floor. Places like this reminds me so much of Matthew. I closed my eyes and swayed my body with the crowd. I closed my eyes and remember what happened.

"After four days, ngayon ka pa nagparamdam" masungit na sabi ko sa kanya

He sighed and sat on the couch. "I'm too tired for an argument, Cleo"

I crossed my arms and raised a brow on him. "Then why are you here? You have your own house, why are you in my unit?"

"Have you forgotten that I bought this unit?" he asked in an irritated tone. "Please, Cleo. Just shut up!" He shouted and massage his temple.

So ako pa ang may kasalanan?

Inirapan ko na lamang siya at tinalikuran. Pumasok na ako sa kwarto ko at nagbihis. Aalis na lamang ako. Pagod na din ako sa maghapong trabaho, para makipagtalo pa sa kanya. I am too drained for this.

Nang lumabas ako ay naka-simpleng jeans at white tee na ako. I get my bag from the coffee table and walks towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" he asked in a strict tone. Tumayo na din siya mula sa pagkakaupo niya
