Trapped In His Melanchony

Her Human Defense

Verolin Alcalde is every woman a man would dreamed to have as what her circles would say. She always make sure to look good perfect. At the very young age, she already underwent some slimming surgery for her to have a perfect shape body and aside from that, she's also a very successful businesswoman. Sa dami niyang manliligaw ay naging pihikan na rin siya sa pagpili ng lalakeng maging boyfriend.

"How's your call with Alaoui? Did they provided a slot for us?" mahinahon niyang tanong sa baklang sekretarya na naging PA na rin niya. At nang hindi ito makasagot agad ay agad niyang nilapag sa desk ang hawak na tablet at tinitigan ito.

"Ah, uhm, Miss V. Actually po, they declined as of the moment. Wala pa daw pong slot para sa optimatization business nila..."

"Excuse me? They declined?! Did you mentioned my name to them or no?!" naiirita nitong bulyaw at hindi makapaniwalang tinanggihan siya. Napaka imposible.

She already met Alaoui once and she would never think of declining her. How could he?

"Yes po..however, mukhang bago ang sekretarya nila? Babae and...as far as I heard, mukhang hindi na si Mr. Alaoui ang humahawak sa kompanya niya."

"Then who the fuck is that?!"

Her and her team headed to Alaoui's building an hour after that. She is pissed. Totally pissed. Kahit na hindi na si Alaoui ang nakaupo sa opisinang yun, they must know very well who they are rejecting to. She's Verolyn, the number one cosmetic brand owner in the country and they should not turn her down. She would make sure to let Zeck know about this insult.

Tho it was urgent and unbooked for them to push through meeting the person who immediately declined the supposed partnership, nagpumilit pa rin siyang kausapin ang sinasabi nilang bagong CEO ng kompanya.

"Why I didn't even heard about him, Barbs? Is this all your fault?!"

"Of course not. Narinig ko lang rin ang chismis and Mr. Alaoui himself did not confirmed to us. Nothing."

"Then who the hell is that Levi Ackerman?!"

"I haven't seen or met him once miss. Sabi nila mailap din daw po siya tulad ni Mr. Alaoui and he's just the same age as you..."

Nakataas kilay na lumabas si Verolyn sa elevator kasabay ang sekretarya at dalawa pa nitong kasama. She's too curious how that person looked like so that she can humiliate him in all the extent. Bahala ng hindi na nila tanggaping kasusyo siya basta ay makilala lang nito ang kinakaharap niya and witness how he would regret doing that. Just like how men knelt down just to have her.

"Nakakalungkot lang, hindi pala si Sir Zeck ang makikita ko today, you know, how I longed to see such kind of handsomeness. He's very rare." Barbs sighed tailing his not so happy boss.

Of course, Zeck is one of the most handsome. Muntik na nga niyang makuha ito kung hindi lang siya naaktuhang nakikipaghalikan sa isang lalake sa bar. Tss, what a chance missed.

After a short conversation with Armando outside, finally the door opened and a woman without even make up on went out to talk to them. She must be the one who answered Barb's call. The secretary.

"Hi, good morning. What can I do for for all of you today?"

She smirked as he inspected at her from head to toe. She's indeed a make up free woman but her body? Doesn't look natural to her. Nagpabawas din kaya ito tulad niya? Thin arms, slim waist but curvy assed even her boobs doesn't disappoint.

"Do you know me, do you?"

Nagulat si Addison sa tanong nito at medyo naguluhan sa tanong. She doesn't.....know her for real.
