VENGE // heejake au [completed]

Chapter 3

I haven't been in the company for a week but I'm already annoyed with my boss's cousin. Wala ba 'tong sariling kompanya at lagi ng nakatambay to dito? And he even dare na utusan akong gumawa ng kape niya lang what the fuck is wrong with him? 

" Hey, I need more coffee." I rolled my eye and stop myself working bago tumayo at magtimpla ng kape niya. My boss is attending meeting and he asked me to stay here since he can't leave his office empty why do i need to stay here kung isang kupal ang narito? 

I don't know why but my guts telling me how annoying and epal he is , like what the hell? I'm working and he's just here to annoy the hell out of me? Wala naman siyang appointment sa boss ko ah? Wala ding nabanggit ang boss ko na darating ang lalaking to dito tapos ngayon uutus-utusan lang ako? Wala naman siyang ginagawa kundi ang tumabay at ngisian lang ako.

After i finished making his coffee, i immedediately gave it to him pero akmang babalik ako ng narinig ko ang pagkasamid niya kaya kunot noo akong tumingin sa kaniya.

" Fuck?Sobrang pangit ng lasa!wala pang asukal!"I raised an eyebrow while looking at him.

" Pangit ka din naman nagreklamo ba ako?" He stopped and looked at me with eyebrows furrowed.

" What?"

" Ang sabi ko hindi mo naman po kasi sinabing ayaw mo ng matapang na kape edi sana nilagyan ko ng gatas at asukal." I said with sarcasm, he just played his tongue inside his mouth and smirk. What the hell is he smirking at? 

" Alam mo na dapat ang kapeng gusto ko."

" Ah? sino ka? Boss ba kita?" Masungit na saad ko that made him chuckled and lick his lower lip while slowly shaking his head.

" well, I'm your boss's cousin. You should atleast serve me right." panunumbat niya, i rolled my eyes and crossed my arms before letting out a mock laugh.

" You're just the cousin not my boss. Boss's dad and my Dad are business partners and he only person who'll i served is the only Lawrence Sin Montenegro and not his cousin." He looked at me with his amused eyes as he chuckled and leaned his body on the sofa.

" But you're serving me right now?"

"I should've put a poison in your coffee." I sighed and went back to my table not minding him and all i can feel was his stare kaya hindi ko nalang yun pinansin ay sinawalang bahala nalang. The heck is wrong with him? Hindi ko din alam pero asar na asar ako sakniya. Kabadtrip.

Tumunog ang cellphone ko kaya agad ko yung sinagot ng makitang si Dad ang tumawag.

" Yes dad?"

I've set you on a blind date. I already excused you to Montenegro's son, you can meet him at the restaurant I reccommended you to go.

" Okay, What time dad?"

You can atleast be there at 2:50 before he arrives. Don't worry son, if he's not into your liking I can still chose another Alpha for you.

" Okay."

Make sure to be there , Shua.

" Yes dad." 

Dad really set me on a blind dates, kala ko biro lang pero bakit naman tinotoo? Akala ko ba pinapunta mo ako dito para maka alala pero bakit feel ko nagpunta lang ako dito para hanapan mo ng asawa?

I sighed and just waited for Lawrence to finished his meeting before leaving the company and meet up my blind date. I came at the restaurant earlier and ordered myself a drink while waiting for my blind date justa  couple of minutes before he arrives. He even asked if I'm Shua Salvador, making sure if he went tot he right table and I just nodded as answer.

" So ummm, I'm Jeron Casabuena, 28, first son. I have a little brother he's managing the ice rink right now. You?" As usual, It will start with introduction before getting to know each other.

" Shua Salvador, 26, Only son." he smiled and nodded before ordering as a food. We stayed quiet until our food came.

I managed a polite smile, trying to suppress my unease. We began conversing, or rather, Jeron began an enthusiastic monologue about his extreme sports adventures, seemingly unaware of my polite attempts to interject. He's so madaldal.

"Once, I climbed Mount Everest with nothing but a spoon and a rubber band! Can you believe that?" Jeron exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with what he thought was charm.

"Wow, that's quite an achievement," I replied, secretly wondering if his idea of a conversation involved just him talking.

The night continued, with Himd ominating the conversation and failing to notice my being subtle hints that I had interests and opinions too. He seemed oblivious to my obvious disinterest in extreme sports or his self-absorbed anecdotes. Should I call my father that he's not into my liking.

I  attempted to steer the conversation towards more neutral territory. He's really madaldal and believe it or not I'm trying to talk too about myself but goshh!

 "So, do you like books? I run a small bookstore nearby," I mentioned, hoping to find some common ground.

But he keep quiet and  shrugged, "Books? Nah, not really my thing. I prefer living life to the fullest, you know?"

My heart sank a little, realizing that our interests couldn't be more different.He doesn't like books but I'm into books? And I want someone who's same interest with me. So I decided to endure the rest of the evening gracefully, not wanting to cause a scene in the crowded cafe.

As the night progressed,I just  found myself daydreaming of escaping from this one-sided ordeal.I glanced at my watch, hoping it was time to say my goodbyes. Unfortunately, Jeron seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, completely oblivious to my discomfort. Can't he feel the atmosphere?

Finally,Gosh! after what it felt like an eternity, the evening finally came to an end. He walked me to my car while talking about his plans for a thrilling bungee jump the next weekend. I almost rolled my eyes because of that, he's really annoying. He only talks about himself, can't even let me talk too.

"Thanks for a great time! We should totally do this again," he said with a wide grin. No thanks

I smiled politely, knowing deep down that I would never want a repeat of this peculiar experience .

 "Sure, I'll let you know," I replied, already formulating a polite rejection in my mind.

I drive home and I couldn't help but to chuckle at the absurdity of the evening. While it might have been an unsuccessful blind date, I  knew it would undoubtedly make a fantastic story to share it with my Father. Not worth it, I just wasted my time into nothing. He's not into my liking, not my type, he only talks about himself, How high person he was. I felt about about his next blind date or even his future mate.

We're different. His interests and my interest are totally different. And I don't like his vibe.So immediately called my father and told him that he's not my type and i don't like him. He just sigh and told me to wait for his another text for another blind date. 

I'm omega, and dad knows it. So he's setting me up with his business partners. My dad called again so i answered it while fixing my bathrobe.

" dad?"

How about Vanguard? I heard you went to same highschool with him?

what?
