Trapped In His Melanchony

Rivalries

"Good morning, Sir Levi. Happy Valentines day po sa inyo"

"Tss. I am not a highschooler, Armando" he smirked, shaking his head habang inaabot nito ang kape na lage niyang inuutos sa gwardiya.

"Ahehe. Si Ma'am Rico ba ang date mo mamaya?"

He wrinkled his forehead for the question. He was thinking rationally, it's like almost every end of his shift sabay silang umuuwi ni Rico. Kapansin pansin na nga ba?

"I am not into that kind of stuff, tho. I don't believe in Valentines I mean."

"Hehe okay po. Pasensya na. Magandang araw po ulit."

He always find it cringe. Even during the days he was still studying. At the very young age, he recieved gifts from girls specifically, and all of it end up in a trash bin. Growing up not romantic didn't gave him a burden at all. It's an advantage. With that, nasanay siyang mas unahin ang pag-aaral. It was just so unlucky for him he was deceived by Cali. The bitch who gave him a very unforgettable lesson.

The bell rung as it reached the ground floor, as expected as the always on time Addison Zapatti will appear outside the elevator but this time, it wasn't just her. She's with Rico.

Both the ladied smiled at her but Rico made it wider. As if he was her sunshine brighten up her day in an instant.

"Good morning, sir." Rico greeted.

A rush awkward feeling run towards his guts to see how the two of them innocently get along suddenly. And why for some reason Rico came early today and even appeared together. Hindi ba pwedeng hindi lang sila magsabay?

It was true, lage silang nagsasabay na umuwi ni Rico at nahahatid niya ito sa subdivision na tinutuluyan niya at ng pamilya niya dahil nadadaanan niya iyon kapag pauwi siya sa penthouse niya. In fact, napakalapit lang at kayang kayang lang itong lakarin ni Rico galing sa kanila papunta sa tinutuluyan niya. Alam din niyang sinasadya rin nitong kunwaring nag galing OT, but the truth is, inaabangan talaga siya nitong lumabas sa opisina niya. Hanggang sa naging gawi na nitong sumabay sa kanya.

Rico obviously not suspecting Addison, neither Addi to her.

"Ganitong oras ka din bang dumadating, Miss Zapatti?" Rico asked to her as the three of them occupied the elevator.

"Ano ba, Addison na lang. Oo eh. Lage akong an hour early. Ikaw ba bakit ka maaga? Di ba alas nwebe pa naman pasok niyo lahat?"

"Ah, oo. Dami kong due dates ngayong araw tapos nagkasabay sabay. Marami kasing inquiries tapos ako pinatrabaho ng client."

"Oh I see. Masipag ka nga talaga kasi performers ang pod niyo."

"Haha! Nako, trabaho lang. Masisipag din naman team members ko."

"Yes. Kita ko nga. Good luck sa inyo ngayong araw. Sana matapos niyo lahat today"

"Thank you." the door opened. And before she parted ways to them, she bowed to them first and glanced at Levi before finally left.

Levi sighed, with eyes on Addi's phone chatting her fake husband Warren Brahm. He was not wrong with his suspection. The asshole greeted his loving wife a happy valentines day.

Corny mo talaga gov!
Naniniwala ka talaga sa
Valentines! Lol.

His intrusive thought won so he gently wrapped his arm around her neck and slowly pulled her closer to him. Parang humiwalay ang buong kaluluwa ni Addi sa sobrang pagkabigla sa ginawang paghapit ni Levi sa kanya.
