The Girl He Used To F*** [The Rozovsky Heirs 12]

CHAPTER 3

Chapter Three

The Doom

"Okay. I'll be back after three days. Ikaw na ang bahala diyan." bilin ko kay Tamara matapos makapag-ayos sa suite na hinatiran sa akin ng lalaking staff.

I thought I seen it all but experiencing the warm welcome and great hospitality of all people working at Sunset Royale was another thing. My amazement was through the roof. Kahit na wala pang isang oras akong nasa hotel ay manghang-mangha na ako to the point that I feel like I'm already betraying myself.

Tamara ended the call and assured me that everything will be fine while I'm gone. Bukod sa pag-spy at pagtingin kung ano ba talaga ang mga dapat naming gawin to keep up with this place ay gusto ko ring mag-enjoy. I want to relax a bit and so far, na-i-engganyo na ako sa huling part lalo na nang buksan ko ang glass door ng aking balcony kung saan may sariling transparent swimming pool.

My room was on the second floor and it was mind blowing how these architects came up with this idea. Ibang-iba talaga at pang-world class!

I was lucky to book this room because it's always fully-booked. Mabilis nauubos ang ganitong klaseng room dahil ito ang pinaka-popular bukod sa dalawang presidential room. Gaya ng mga nabasa kong reviews ay isa rin ito sa dahilan kung bakit dinarayo ang Sunset Royale.

The Gen Z's and popular influencers were the reason why it boomed so much. Who would have thought that a transparent pool could make such a huge difference? Nakaka-impress lalo na ang isiping almost fully booked ang five hundred plus rooms.

Maraming beses naman nang nangyari 'yon sa Coastal Rock lalo na iyong mga kasagsagan talaga ng kasikatan nito at sa tuwing nangyayari ay walang katulad ang tuwang naibibigay nito sa akin. I really take pride in building that place from scratch. Kahit noong una ay walang kita at puro pampasahod lang sa mga tauhan ko ay hindi ako sumuko at nawalan ng pag-asa. I had a vision and it worked, now I have to work harder.

My smile widened after seeing the kids from the lower pool na mayroong manmade waves. Dalawa ang pool na gano'n. Isang pang-bata at isa naman para sa mga adults. Bukod sa dalawang pool, they also have one infinity pool with great ocean view and another for party stuff. Hindi ko man natatanaw mula sa kwarto ko ay isa rin 'yon sa hinahangaan ko sa lugar.

I sit on the lounger with the cucumber welcome drink on my hand. Pinigilan kong kunin ang cell phone ko nang may dumating na text pero nang makita ang pangalan ni Matthaos ay nagkukumahog ko iyong kinuha.

It was just a usual good morning text but instead of answering him, I dialed his number for a call.

"Hey! Miss me?" malambing niyang bungad na kaagad nagpailing at ngiti sa akin.

"Kind of but you know why I'm calling."

"That hurts. Wala man lang lambingan muna," he joked, but got into what concerned me. "I'm still on it, Lace. I'm sorry kung hanggang ngayon wala akong matinong naibabalita sa 'yo."

Napayuko ako at pinanuod ang isang kamay na paglaruan ang mga butil ng tubig sa basong aking hawak. Nang mapabuntong-hininga at wala nang masabi ay nagsalita siya ulit.

"Don't think too much. It happened many times now. Pasasaan ba't magkakaro'n din tayo ng balita? Chill, all right? Everything will be fine. Huwag ka nang masyadong mag-isip, I'm on it. I promise you."

That put an ease to my heart. Kahit na hirap akong sundin ang payo niya.

"Thanks, Matt. Napakarami ko nang utang sa 'yo."

He chuckled on the other line. "Hindi naman ako naniningil pero kung gusto mo talagang magbayad, a dinner will do. Nakabalik ka na sa Palawan?"

"Yes, I'm here."
