CHAPTER 4

It was already two in the afternoon. Constantine was sitting on a lounge chair with his legs crossed casually at his ankles. Actually, naiinis siya. His lower lip was even slightly pouted. Tuloy nagmukha siyang batang nagta-tantrums dahil sa laruan.

At ang laruan na 'yon? Well, ito, papalapit na sa kaniya.

"Mr. Alandy, kailangan nang magsimula ng photoshoot." Patamad na inabot ni Ella ang folder na naglalaman ng mga poses na gusto ng brand na kumontrata sa kaniya.

Hindi siya sanay nang ganito. It irritated him to the bone that this woman wasn't even showing any interest in him! He was Constantine Alandy, after all. Hindi ba dapat naglulumuhod na ito sa harap niya ngayon? Lalo na nang sabihan niya itong lalabas sila. "Call me Constantine."

"Sir Constantine, then."

"Drop the sir," he commanded with a devious grin.

Napabuntong-hininga si Ella kasunod ng pag-ikot ng mga mata. "Constantine then."

"Say it again." He gazed brazenly at her breasts. Lumaylay kasi ang neckline ng suot ni Ella nang yumuko ito sa kaniya.

The more he looked at her, the more he noticed how pretty she was. His new assistant wasn't just cute. She had this dangerously sexy aura, and he ogled that a lot. Sigurado siya, mag-e-enjoy siya sa pag-ungol nito mamaya.

Biglang napadiretso ng tayo si Ella, strategically closing the neckline of her shirt. The blush that crept up her neck and face satisfied him. Great! Tinatablan din naman pala ito sa kaniya.

Ang totoo, binayaran ni Constantine ang baklang si Terrence nang mag-usap sila kanina. Money moved mountains, and his money just did magic. Now, his toy is here, standing before him with her peach skin, luscious body, and super hot temper. One click, pinagpalit niya ang position ng dalawa, si Terence muna ang assistant at ang magandang dalaga ang photoshoot director. Oh damn, how he was looking forward to fucking her. Kanina pa siya pigil na pigil.

Hindi naman siguro ito aayaw, 'di ba? Wala pa naman babaeng tumanggi sa kaniya. Kailangan niya lang sigurong i-push pa ang charm niya rito.

"I like it when your face turns pink," Constantine drawled while standing up from his seat. Iyon ang unang atake niya habang nasa set sila. Tingnan niya lang kung tanggihan pa siya nito pagkatapos ng araw na ito. That would be exciting to find out.

"Oh! T-Thank you."

"Tonight, peacock," he said before walking to the platform where the pictorial set-up was ready. He had been doing this for years; thus, even his movements were already on autopilot. Walang pag-aatubiling naghubad siya sa harapan ni Ella, enjoying her gaze when she gave him a shy yet curious stare.

That made him smirk. Thus, he flaunted himself more to her. His torso was a smooth expanse of hard muscles under faultless skin. His navel was plainly visible above his waistband, which rode low on his lips.

Natawa siya nang mahina nang mapatutok ang mga mata ni Ella sa kanyang V-line. Did she just blush heavier?

'Cute to a fault, Ella...' He shook his head. 'You're too cute to a fault...'

On the other hand, Ella was so furious that she had to watch him for the rest of the set. Malay ba naman niya kasi sa ginagawa ng isang photoshoot director? For Pete's sake! She was an undercover agent.

Not knowing what to do, umupo siya sa binakanteng silya ni Constantine bago pinilit ang sarili na itutok ang paningin sa entablado. Her mind was starting to float somewhere when she heard him call.

"Hey, Ella! How about working?"

Burn! Ang sarap sa mata ng loko. "Anong gagawin ko?"

"Director ka, 'di ba? Direct me, I guess?" Nginisian siya ni Constantine. His gray eyes scaled her down with the practiced ease of a man who was accustomed to mentally undressing women.
