Till The End

Chapter 4

Drew's POV Part 2

I wasn't looking for forgiveness.
Wasn't laid up by my pride.
Shocked by her attention.

But she looks different.

She have black circles in her eyes.

She looks thinner the last time I saw her.

"Y-your help, I-is it still u-up?"

I motioned her to enter my house.

I roam my eyes to her.

"Yes, but-"

I was shook on what she did.

She strips in front of me.

Leaving nothing.

I gulped. Shit. I'm a man here. How can I resist a beautiful lady standing naked in front of me? God! This is temptation!

Before I lose my self control, I remove my coat and put it in her shoulder.

"You don't have to do this."

She kneels in front of me, and hug my right leg.

"Please Drew, I need your help... P-please help me." she said with a broken voice.

She's crying.

Fuck!

I knelt and hugged her.

"okay. Okay honey. Please stop crying."

I caressed her back like a child trying to calm her.

I hold her shoulder to see her face. I wipe the tears that until now were still falling in her beautiful eyes.

" I promise to help you. But you need to fix yourself first, they might think I exploited you." (I said in Filipino)

Shock that's all I can read in her expression.

"Yes, I'm a Filipino."

She hugs me as she was thanking me. I let her change clothes. I discovered that she was a victim of robbery that's why her baggage are gone. I also learned that she still has an empty stomach since she didn't eat yet and she was sleeping in the sidewalk for more than a month already after she left on her friend's house.

I have a lot of things to ask her, but it's not the right time to throw to her this questions.

We went to my company. We have all the legal papers on running it, but all they know is that we are only producing high quality films that later n become blockbuster as it hits the big screen. But think about it, why will we focus on one thing when we know that there are other sources of income that can generate lots of money. Our company is known to be one of the strongest and most powerful producers in the world.  We do not cheat just like other companies. We are even doing charity works for those who are in need.

But I regret helping the woman beside me.

"She's beautiful." 

He lowered her gaze.

"She will be one of the hottest star in this generation. I can sense it Drew, I can already smell money."

And that's the thing I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN!

I just give him a halfhearted smile.

There's no more discussion of the contract since Mr. Mendoza thought that I already brief her.

I give her the money that was indicated in the contract.

She gets it. But I know deep down...

She doesn't like it.

Opposite from her job description wherein she should have a complete submission of her self.

Colline Angela Syrie.

That was her name.

We headed home after the contract signing and after we bought her some clothes to wear.

As we go home, there's this wall of silence that comes between us.
