She's Kinda Hot (The Remake)

Chapter 33

YUMI

Para akong tangang nakahawak sa doorknob, I'm waiting for him to leave and when he did, I contacted my dad's Secretary to ask his location. If nakarating na ba siya dito sa Pilipinas or he's still in Japan.

I don't know if I can force myself to marry Duke, I'm obligated to honor the agreement I made with dad when I was 12 - asked for my independence to live by myself without his interference *sigh* mukhang maitatakwil ako sa ending nito.

Maybe we can have another agreement? I'll fvcking marry anyone else who is decent but never Duke, but how can I make Dad reconsider his decision of marrying me off to Brianne's family?

It's very unexpected, what benefit can he get from this arrangement? hindi naman kalakihan ang Manpower Agency ng tatay nila Brianne. I'm sure if dad had searched for a bachelor that I can marry around his business circle there are more candidates that have better credentials than Duke. Okay na sana saking ipakasal nalang sa anak ng isang zaibatsu or chaebol eh. Heck even the Yakuza, I can handle myself.

Tsk, it's worse that he chose Duke over personal preference and not based on business benefits.

WTH

I can't even contact Secretary Hayami and my mother keeps on calling, malamang hahanapin niya ako.

"Okaa-san" I answered her call and readied my ears for some scolding

"I'm going back to Japan now, we have an emergency on one of the factory in Nagoya that's why your father can't make it today. I re-scheduled the dinner *sigh*" that sound of disappointment "Hopefully what happened tonight won't reach your father, I'll send you the details of the next dinner soon, oyasumi darling" I could hear a loud engine humming in the background, and just like that she ended the call, her private jet is about to take off I guess

Well, thankfully mom knows that dad is very fond of Brianne so based on what she said I can deduce that she will not inform dad of what Brianne did.

Ahh, wait a sec. Bri is my dad's favorite among my peers but why didn't he choose him instead of his brother, not that I want to marry Brianne of course, he's taken after all! and --- and like I said we can collaborate on stopping this stupid marriage arrangement.

*sigh*

If this is just a cosmic joke, it's not funny! I look up and glare at the universe sa kung ano mang trip nila, before sighing in defeat at the view of my ceiling

Hindi naman ako napagod ngayong araw but the drama that just unfolded got in my nerves and drained me, I need a shower then a drink tapos saka ko pagiisipan kung paano aayusin tong gusot na to.

I turned on the hot water and undressed while the water filled the tub

I began to remove my jewelry and stored them neatly inside my bedside table's drawer since I don't have a jewelry box here in my apartment, put my stiletto on my shoe rack, changed to my bathrobe, went to the bathroom, removed my make up and had a steaming hot bath. If there's one thing I missed about Japan, it's the onsen. I grabbed a glass and bottle of wine before dipping into the tub

Gahd, that feels good

I can't help but think about what Brianne did at the dinner, fvck, why am I having butterflies when he said he would keep his words then punched his brother? Ahh that idiot *giggles*

Tsk. At times like this talaga Yumi nagawa mo pang kiligin?

I'm probably losing my mind. I pour myself a glass of wine and slowly sloshed the wine around, watching the red liquid

Okay, *deep breaths* I need to think of a plan and solve this bvllsh*t, ayokong madamay pa si Bri sa issueng ito. I already accepted my inequitable fate but I don't want to implicate him, all this time he has been thinking about my sake and now I just want him to be happy.
