The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 41

Nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko. Hindi ko matanggap ang mga naririnig ko mula kay Dad.

He was wrong, right? Silvestre's not evil. They were the ones who accepted me. They were the ones who helped me when I was at my lowest.

I don't know now what to believe. I don't know now what to react.

I was just glad Yna's here. She was fast enough to catch me, guiding me not to fall.

"Are you okay, Lady?"

I looked at Yna. Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat niya, hinaharap siya.

"Tell me. You aren't in a mission. right? You were out of our company and you are currently working here for good. Please tell me you are."

I was begging. I was begging her to tell it to me that I was right. That I am not Silvestre's enemy.

A tear fell from my eye when she slowly shook her head.

"W-What..." I open my mouth to say more but I just can't say anything. I have nothing to say more.

I can't believe it.

"I'm here to do a mission, Lady. That's why when I saw you in Whitehaven University, with the young Silvestres,  I was really shocked. Then later on, I thought you were also in a mission."

Umiling-iling ako. "No, I am not."

Tumingin siya sa paligid. Tumigil ang paningin niya sa kung saan at sinundan ko ang tinitingnan niya.

I was shocked when I saw she was staring at the wall with a painting.

"What are you staring at?"

She looked at me. "Look out for me."

"What?"

Natataranta ako nang makitang naglalakad na siya palapit doon sa dingding. I stopped her by gripping on her wrist.

"Yna..."

I was shocked when I saw a tear on her eye. "I was already in a mission for a year. And for all those days, everyday on that whole timeline, I was always suffering, Lady. I want to end it as soon as possible."

Kita ko ang sakit sa mga mata niya. Dahan-dahan kong binitawan ang kamay niya sa pagkakahawak ko.

"If they were really the one who's evil, we can always find for a right way to get back the money. We don't need to do this, Yna."

"I was just being ordered, Lady. I can't do anything about it."

"Yna..." Nanghihina ako. Kung kami nga ang naagawan ng pera ay may tamang paraan naman para bawiin namin ang pera namin. Not this.

"Give me a look out."

Nataranta ako nang makitang kinuha na niya ang painting na nakasabit at may pinindot doon. Just then, the wall opened.

Napapatakbo ako sa may pintuan para tingnan kung may tao ba. Shit! I was fucking nervous! I was never nervous like this in my whole life! I was a badass but never have I ever do this shit!

"Yna, make it fast!"

I cursed for a million times when I saw Giovanni walking his way here in the office. Napapatingin ako kay Yna. Nang makitang hindi pa siya tapos ay lumabas ako at sinalubong si Giovanni sa labas para hindi na siya pumasok sa loob.

"Y-You're done meeting with the department heads?"

His brows met and his forehead knotted upon staring at me. "Hey, you okay? Why are you sweating?"

Nilapitan niya ako at pinahiran ang pawis sa noo ko. I averted my gaze away from him when I saw he was staring at me.

"Was there---"
