Stupidly Inlove Again

Chapter 38

NATALIA'S POV

I woke up around 8:00 a.m. and eat my breakfast. As expected, wala nanaman si Alexander at kumain ako mag - isa.

Nang pabalik na ako sa aking kwarto at umaakyat na sa hagdan, napansin ko si Mr. Lopez sa malaking glass window. Nasa labas siya at may kausap sa cellphone.

'What is he doing here?'

Nakakapagtaka lang na andito siya. Sa pagkakaalam ko, kung nasaan si Alexander ay andoon din siya.

Dumeretso nalang ako sa pag - akyat at bumalik sa guestroom.  

Naligo na ako at nagbihis. I'm going out again today.

Pababa na ako ng hagdan ng mapansin ko si Alexander na naka- upo sa sala at abala sa pagtitipa sa kanyang cellphone.

'Why is he also here?  Is that means he never leaves the house today, which is why I also saw Mr. Lopez kanina? but he's wearing his usual business attire today.'

"What are you doing here?" I asked as soon as I went down the stairs.

Naglakad ako palapit sa kina—uupuan niya. Tumayo din siya at nilagay sa bulsa ang cellphone.

"Why not? This is my house." sagot niya na akala mo ay hindi ko alam iyon.

"I know, but you're supposed to not be here today." I said.

"Well, change of plans." he said.

"Okay, excuse me, I'll go ahead." I said.

Maglalakad na sana ako ng magsalita siya.

"You can't go out." he said.

My brows furrowed.

"And why?" masungit kong tanong.

"I decided to give Brent and Denver a leave. You can't go out. You don't have a guard and driver." he simply said.

"What? Are you serious?" nangagalaiti kong tanong.

"Yes. Because why not? It's almost a new year, they deserve a holiday break." he said.

Suminghal ako."You just gave them to me as my driver and bodyguard noong nakaraang araw, and now you're telling me you gave them a break?! Pinaglololoko mo ba ako?" inis kong sabi.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, change of mind." he said.

'Damn you.'

"Fine. Just let me borrow one of your car keys. I'll just drive by myself." I said.

"Walang kotseng available." mabilis niyang sagot.

'What? that's impossible!'

I gritted my teeth.

Mas lalo lang akong naiinis dahil sa itsurang napaka-kalmado ni Alexander.

Hindi ako pamilyar dito pero dahil bihis na ako at wala akong choice.

"Fine. I'll just commute." I said.

His brows furrowed pero hindi ko na siya inantay pang magsalita.

Nagmartsa na ako paalis papuntang double door ng mansion para lumabas.

Palapit na ako sa pinto nang nauna na iyong bumukas at bumungad sa akin si Mr. Lopez hawak ang doorknob.

Gulat akong napahinto dahil may mga kasunod pa siyang papasok.

Matanda na sila, sa tingin ko ay mag - asawa. They are wearing a business suit. Of course, they are foreigners.
