"WARREN! ARE YOU STILL HERE?!" David's voice rang all over the entire penthouse as soon as he entered the foyer.

While catching his breath, David frantically roamed his eyes around, searching for any signs of Warren. He placed a hand on his chest when he felt his heart pounding inside them.

Sinubukan 'rin ni David na ayusin ang paghinga niya dahil humahangos siya nang sobra ngayon. Sa sobrang pagmamadali niya kasi kanina ay walang-alinlangan niyang tinakbo ang napakahabang pasilyo ng floor na pagmamay-ari ni Warren.

Asan na yun? Why isn't he answering? Wala na ba siya dito?

Ibinuka niyang muli ang bibig at handa na sanang tawagin ang pangalan ng kanyang boss nang marinig niya ang boses nito na umalingawngaw sa sala.

"I'm here!"

Malalaking hakbang agad ang ginawa ni David papuntang sala.

"Where is here exactly?!" Tanong ni David nang hindi niya matagpuan si Warren sa lugar.

"In your room! Get your ass over here, Ladrico!"

Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ni David sa narinig. Hindi na siya nag-atubili pa at agad nilakad ang hallway papunta sa kanyang kuwarto.

What the fuck is he doing in my room!? Wag niya sabihing porket bahay niya 'to ay puwede niya na akong tratuhin ng ganto?

Dahan-dahang umakyat ang dugo sa ulo ni David at mabilis niyang naikuyom ang mga kamao niya. It was crystal clear that he doesn't like Warren snooping around his room without his permission. It's just plain disrespectful for David.

However, David's heavy strides gradually lost their momentum when something dawned on him. If he's in my room, then—fuck! The board!

"Warren!" Natataranta niyang sigaw at halos liparin na ni David ang kuwarto niya para lang makarating agad doon.

David was praying so hard that Warren hadn't seen it yet—though the chances of that happening were very slim, since Warren was already waiting inside David's room for about half an hour now—but David's optimism was screaming, 'Don't lose hope.'

David hitched a breath when his room came into view. His door was wide open, and he could see Warren standing inside, staring intently at something.

Fuck! Fuck! Nakita niya na!

Marahang umiling si David at dahan-dahang inayos ang kanyang paghinga, 'tila sinusubukang pakalmahin ang sarili.

No, let's not panic. What I need to do is take control of our conversation, para wala siyang time magtanong. Yes! Ganon 'nga. Kaylangan unahan ko siya agad!

David immediately changed his panic expression into a seething look, like he was a ticking time bomb that was seconds away from exploding into a fit of rage. He also made his gaze sharp, so he would look more intense.

"Warren!" He snarled.

Warren turned his head towards David and raised a brow at him, looking a bit puzzled about the anger he's displaying.

"Who the hell said you can come inside this room without my permission?!" Prangkang sabi ni David nang makapasok siya sa kuwarto.

"Hindi porket bahay mo 'to, ay tatratuhin mo na ako ng ganto." Aniya habang nag-iigting ang kanyang mga panga.

David was expecting Warren to quickly defend himself or engage in an argument with him regarding this matter—since when that happens, David's investigation board will be set aside—yet what he's seeing right now was the total opposite.
