Conquering Thy Billionaire's Heart (TLS #3)

Chesi

"Cheesy, are you sure you're okay?"

Sobrang worried ni Franki sakin pag kauwi ko galing sa blind date namin ni Aston. Nalaman niya kasing nagkita kami ni Klaus kanina sa resto kung na saan kami.

As much as I don't want to tell her, I can't lie to my sister dahil she knows me from head to toe. She will not stop until I tell her things dahil we promised each other na no secrets kami sa isa't isa.

I slowly nodded. "O-Oo.. I'll be fine, Franks. Don't worry too much." I gave her a fake assurance na I know she'll not buy.

For the first time after a long time, I saw the man my heart longs for. I wanted to run and hug him tightly but I simply cannot do that because I know how much Klaus despises me.

Franki sighed. "Hay, alright. I'll leave you be first. I know naman when you don't wanna talk about things. I'll just be in my room if you need me, okay? Knock anytime you want." She gave me a quick hug and left my room.

Here I am lying down and thinking about what happened earlier. It was too quick for me to even grasp what was happening.

"Klaus..."

I know he saw me muttering his name under my breath. He for sure saw it 'cos he immediately looked away at bumalik ang mga mata nito sa taong kaharap niya.

I felt my eyes welling up but I tried to stop breaking down dahil nakakahiya sa taong kasama ko.

I don't wanna make a scene in public dahil both me and Aston are quite known to the media 'cos of our parents. And I for sure don't want to go viral on social media or be in the news tomorrow dahil lang hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko.

Whether you're in the high society or not, meron at merong marites in every social class which is unfortunate dahil wala kang ka privacy privacy basta kilala ka sa lipunan.

I'm not dreaming to be the talk of the town for a bad and humiliating reason.

"You look pale." Bumalik lang ako sa senses ko ng marinig kong magsalita si Aston. Napansin niya siguro ang pag change ng demeanor ko.

I forgot, I'm still sitting down dahil patayo na sana ako to go to the comfort room when I saw Klaus staring.

"Oh.. sorry. M-My tummy suddenly didn't feel good." I made up an excuse so that he wouldn't ask more because I'm already trying so hard no to break down and answering more questions will not help.

Aston's forehead crumpled as he puts his utensils down. "Do you want me to call the waiter? Is there something wrong with the food?" I can sense his concern in his tone regardless if he's a reserved person.

I frantically shook my head. My gosh, Chesi. Don't make a scene for crying out loud.

"No! No. I'm alright! It must be my acid reflux or something. Sorry..." Sabi ko na lang. Totoo naman na may acid reflux ako but it's not as bad as the others and it's not acting up right now.

I spoke before he even said something. Hindi ko na kaya, kailangan ko ng umalis. "I-I'll go use the comfort room now. Kindly give me a moment." I immediately stood up.

Aston for sure noticed my urgency but didn't say anything, thank God. Nagtama ulit ang mga mata namin but this time napansin ko ang taong nasa harapan niya. Likod ito ng isang sexy na babae.

I think I have an idea who this woman is...

Mas lalong sumakit ang puso ko sa narealize. I held my head up high and immediately walked my way towards the comfort room. I didn't look back anymore. The moment I got inside a cubicle, my tears fell down like waterfalls. I was even amazed at myself for holding back the tears infront of Aston.
