Sex with Benefits

Chapter 43: Aleia

Chapter 43: Absence

I feel kind of lonely. Its been a week when Shin stopped calling or texting.

He must've been so busy with Alyssa.

Ihahagis ko na sana ang phone nang magpop up ang message galing sa isang unknown sender.

Are you gonna keep ignoring me?

The phone automatically send it to the spam folder.

Napakunot ang noo ko.

Who's this creepy sender?

Nagulat ako nang buksan ko ang spam messages.

There are tons of messages from the same number.

Nang matapos ko ibackread ay nalaman ko na galing pala ito kay Jayson. Jayson Suarez. The creepy guy who cheesily confessed during the shoot in Heroine.

Ihahagis ko na sana ulit ang phone nang mag message ulit ito.

Ever wonder why I joined the Heroine??

Napakunot ang noo ko.

Come on, Aleia. All I'm asking is for you to be the ambassador of my company if you're not going to date me. And I'm gonna pay you big, don't worry.

Nainis ako. He's so full of himself.

Are you still ignoring me?

Do you like that loser Shinjiru so damn much?

I am so much better than him!

I can end him and his career if I want to!

Nakaramdam ako ng kilabot.

If you like him that much, you'll meet up with me.

Or you'll receive news. I can't guarantee if its gonna be good news though.

I'll be waiting for your reply until midnight. Stop testing my patience, Aleia.

Napatulala ako.

Is he bluffing? He must be bluffing right?

I look at the clock. It's 7:49pm.

I called Kuya Nate. He picked up after several rings.

"Hello Kuya Nate."

"Oh? Napatawag ka?"

...

I ended the call.

I'll meet you tomorrow.

I press send.

Good. See you at Suarez Corporation Building.

He sent me the details.

Kinakabahan ako kay Jayson pero mas kinakabahan ako sa sinasabi niya about Heroine.

He looks like a pyscho. Duda ako na mga banta lang iyon.

He seems shady. He's filthy rich but he's not from. well known family. Hindi rin naman ganon katunog ang businesses niya pero sobrang yaman ng lalaki.

The strings just don't match.

◽◽◻️◽◽

Malapad ang ngisi ni Jayson nang salubungin ako at ng mga tauhan niya.

They look like fucking gangsters straight from a cringey movie.

"You look great as usual, Aleia." He said while grinning from ear to ear.

I didn't reply and just looked around and saw a typical average office. Nothing special.

We went to his office.

"Have a sit, Aleia." He said.

"Can we get this over with?" I replied not hiding my annoyance.

"So impatient." He said looking so amused.

"Can we just skip the pleasantries and just go straight to the point?"

He raised his eyebrows but didn't respond.

"Ano ba ang binabalak mo Jayson? Why are you dragging me into this?"

He chuckled. "Great question, Al." He said and leaned towards me. "I like you."

"You made that very clear a long time ago." I said sarcastically.

"And?" He said.

"Amd what?" Sabi ko naman.

"Date me." He said almost like a command.

"Excuse me? I thought you summoned me here for a job? You seem eager about it so I obliged."

"Oh c'mon, Aleia. We both know that's just a stupid excuse to get you here."

"What do you mean?" Kumunot ang noo ko. "I badly want you Aleia. Why are you being such a prude?" Tila gigil na niyang turan.

"What the fuck?" I gathered all my strength just to stop myself from slapping the shit out of him.

Instead, I took my purse and about to storm off the room when his goons blocked the door.

I'm not afraid of him. I'm used to boys like him. This is nothing.

Hinarap ko siya.

Theres this stupid grin plastered on his face like he thinks I'm at the palm of his hand.

Stupid side character.

Who does he think he is?

"Aleia can you calm down for a bit? It's not like I said something wrong." Chill niyang saad. "What's the difference between me and your previous boytoys? I can also play your game. Just say it and I'll gladly play whatever your whims demands."

I smirked.

Then my smirk turns into wide grin, then I laugh and laughs insultingly.

"What's so funny?"

"Jayson, honey. Pathetic men are just not my type." I whispered but making sure he heard it.

Nakita ko kung paano magtagis ang kanyang panga.

Good.

No one insults me and go unscathed.

Nagulat ako nang biglang malusaw ang galit niya. He smiled and stood up.

Naglakad siya nang dahan dahan.

"I don't really wanna do this but you're as feisty as the rumors. Don't worry that makes me want you even more. And I'll get you. I always get what I want, Al."

"You wish." I rolled my eyes.

"Let's see." Lumapit siya sa akin pero hindi ako lumayo.

Tumigil siya nang nasa gilid ko na siya.

He whispered something and my heart beat intensifies.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at para bang biglang nablanko ang isip ko.

"Is it still a no, Aleia?" He smiled devilishly.

Wala sa hwisyo na kinapa ko ang cellphone sa purse para ioff ang ongoing call ko kay Kuya Nate.

The plan has changed.

"What do you want me to do, Jayson?" Sabi ko sa kalmadong boses.

He smiled like the demon that he is.

"Now we're talking." He said and gestured me to follow him on his private office.
