Lumipas na ang trenta minutos ay nakatitig pa rin si Valentina sa litrato. Nakatitig s'ya sa mga litrato simula at pagkatapos n'yang kumain.
Hindi talaga pumapasok sa isip n'ya kung kanino ang keychain na 'yon.
"Agh! Nahihilo na ako!" Aniya at kumain ng ice cream para kumalma ang isipan.
Niligpit n'ya ang mga hindi gagamiting dokumento at inilabas lamang ang mga importante.
"Lady Boss, Mr. Mihajlovich wants to talk to you." Inabot ni Lucius ang telepono nito kay Valentina.
Napatigil sa ginagawa si Valentina bago ilagay sa tenga ang cellphone ni Lucius, "yes, Mr. Mihajlovich?"
"I'm sorry to say but our appointment has been canceled." He replied.
"Alright, any valid reasons?" She asks with her nonchalant voice.
"Someone canceled it." He claimed.
"By whom?" She queried.
"By me,"
It was Cain standing behind Valentina for two minutes straight.
Ibinaba ni Cain ang hawak na cellphone ni Valentina at niyakap ito mula sa likuran, "I miss you."
Gustong lumundag ni Valentina sa tuwa pero kailangan n'ya ring panatilihing kalmado ang sarili.
Valentina leans on him and inhales his presence. She closes her eyes and holds his hands wrapped around her.
Cain chuckles. Lumipat s'ya ng pwesto at lumuhod sa tapat ni Valentina. He caresses her cheeks, "Miss me?"
Valentina caressed his hand and kissed his pulse, "Indeed."
"Have a seat." Sambit ni Valentina. Napangiti si Cain at umupo sa upuan na katapat ng dalaga.
"Take a rest, my sweet Valentine." Cain sighs, he's worried.
Tinaasan s'ya ng kanang kilay ni Valentina, "let me eat my ice cream." Umiwas ito ng tingin.
Marahang tumawa ang binata bago dumako ang tingin kay Lucius na nakatalikod mula sa kanila.
'Her secretary...?' He stares at him coldly.
"Have some." Pag-alok ni Valentina ng kinakain n'ya, "anong flavor n'yan?" Tanong ni Cain.
"Hulaan mo." Sagot ni Valentina at kumain isinubo ulit ito bago muling inalok kay Cain.
Cain stood up and goes for her lips, "It is vanilla flavor." He licks his upper lip.
Sumeryoso ang mata ni Valentina at inilapag ang ice cream sa mesa.
"What?" Cain gulped.
'Is she not comfortable after what I did?' Cain looks back at her eyes.
"How dare you to cancel my appointment." Galit na sambit ni Valentina at kinompronta si Cain.
Hindi alam ni Cain kung matatawa ba s'ya o matatakot dahil hindi n'ya inaasahan ang ikinagagalit ni Valentina.
"Same line here, how dare you to lie about what you were planning. Kung hindi sa'kin sinabi ni Gilrei, nasa Moscow ka na ngayon." Kinompronta s'ya pabalik ni Cain.
Umiwas ng tingin si Valentina. Cain leans back in his chair, "Do you think you can handle this alone, Valentina?"
"Yes, kaya ko." Mabilis na sagot ni Valentina.
Huminga nang malalim si Cain at inaayos ang pagkaka-upo nito at nginisian pa ang kasintahan, "so are we gonna argue about this right now, my love?"
Bumuntong hininga si Valentina at niligpit ang mga gamit n'ya bago nagmadaling lumabas sa lounge.
