Trapped In His Melanchony

Annoyance

Is she even telling the truth na walang pinapagawang trabaho ang asawa niya sa si Warren sa kanya dati? Or she might got that kind of confidence from his influence?

Levi visualized how perfect they'll look like. Warren as a succesfull businessman with a smart wife as his secretary.

Tss. The hell I care.

As if Addi won't tremble every time he gave her sharp stares tho. This woman fear him and he enjoys it, embering more fire to his eagerness to insult her more.

Ano pa kaya ang pwede niyang gawin dito hanggang sa tuluyan na siya nitong lubayan?

Just watching her busy in her desk across him, amused him in anger.

She cheated and left.

She's the worst.

He hates her.

She doesn't deserve to have such a happy life after what she did to me.

Then the elevator scene flashed in his mind. The smell of her hair. After all these years she still used the same shampoo. The shampoo he poured in his whole room so that it will sorround the smell of her. Sa isang taon niyang pagpapakabaliw kay Addi, hindi na niya maalala kung saan nagsimula na mawalan na ito ng gana sa lahat. Ang magsawa sa kabaliwan niya at matauhang walang Addison ang may pakealam sa kanya.

Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa ballpen na halos mabali na ito sa dalawang piraso.

A buzz from the doorbell caught their attention which Addi in instant went to the door. How can't she be scared? Did she missed an appointment? Bakit may biglang magdodoorbell wala naman siyang ni request na mga hardcopies sa babang mga palapag.

"Good afternoon?" tanong niya habang kinikilala kung sino ang babaeng nakapostura na nakatayo sa labas ng pinto. Nakakibit balikat ito at tila nagulat pang madinig siyang nagsalita.

"Oh, a woman in Zeck's office? Who are you?" mataray pa nitong tanong.

"Ma'am. Sekretarya po yan ni Mr. Ackerman. Sabi ko po sa inyo hindi si sir Zeck ang andyan." sagot ng kasama nitong gwardiya sa kanya.

The woman must be someone the big boss knows.

"I need you to summon Alaoui for me."

Later on that, nasa guest lounge na sila habang naghihintay na sumagot si Alaoui sa tawag ni Levi. Panay naman titig ang babae kay Addi kaya hindi itong komportableng nakaupo doon. Mabuti na lang kalaunan ay nawala ang atensyon nito sa kanya ng nilibot ng mga mata nito ang buong paligid.

"Goodness, Zecky. I supposedly surprise you yet now I am surprised you let someone manage your ow fucking business" ani nito napabuntong hininga.

"He'll be here in a minute, Ms. Escarvez." Levi informed her.

Addi abruptly wonder, if ever Levi has liked anyone after she left. Just like for example a woman like Escarvez he will encounter. Will he be attracted to her? Or anybody in their workplace? Nagkasyota ba ito noong dalawag taon silang hindi nagkasama? Iniisip pa lang niya sumasama na ang timpla ng utak niya. Paano naman kasi, napakaobsessed nito sa kanya dati. Walang araw na hindi siya kinikilig kapag umaandar ang pagiging seloso nito.

"Zapatti, you may take an early lunch."

"T-thank you, sir."

Hayun pa nga, sa wakas at lumuwag din ang utak niya!

"Ex girlfriend daw yun ni sir Alaoui eh. May pagka strikta daw yun pero sabi nila nakikipaghalobilo naman daw sa mga trabahante niya. Kasusyo daw nila sa negosyo ang pamilya nila."
