BILLIONAIRE SERIES #3: TAMING MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND (COMPLETED)

Siete : Ring

Two days had passed yet she still has resentment towards Storm. She didn't go back to that house and chose to stay in her condo. At least there, she knew she wouldn't be irritated by his emotionless face.

'Masyado mong ini-involve ang sarili mo sa kanya. You're a doctor, you know it's not good to create an emotional space with the patients."

It was an exclusive party held at a five star hotel where her parents was also present. Eirlys wore a simple yet stylish dress. It is a black off-the-shoulder dress with a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. The sleeves are short and puffed, giving the dress a romantic and feminine feel. The off-the-shoulder neckline is classic and elegant, while the full skirt adds a touch of drama.

She was alone in a round table somewhere that is not visible to everyone enjoying her wine when she saw Camille walking towards her direction.

Kinuha niya ang wine glass saka naglakad at sinalubong ito ng tingin. Makikita mo sa mga mata nito ang mapanghamong tingin na tila ba sinasabi nitong siya ang magwawagi sa gabi na iyon.

She never compete with anyone ever since, but to Camille since the day they became classmates in Canada, everything to her is a race. Gusto nito nauuna siya lagi. Gusto nito na siya lagi ang bida sa bawat kwento.

Hindi pa ito nakapagsimula sa sasabihin niya ng may mag-asawang lumapit sa kanya.

It was one of her mentors in Canada. 30 years in service and one of the highest paid nephrologist there. And she had a husband who is a urologist doctor in the Philippines.

"Mrs. Veller. Mr. Veller." bati niya rito saka nakipagkamay at sa asawa nito.

"It was really you. Eirlys." bati nito na malawak na ngumiti sa kanya. "..I was arguing with my husband back there, he told me that it was not you but I really know from afar that it's you. It's been three years since we last met. You look much more fine and beautiful now." puri nito saka siya mahinang natawa.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Are you alone?" sunod na tanong nito.

"I'm with my parents." sagot niya saka tumingin sa paligid. Natanaw naman niya ang kanyang mga magulang na may kausap sa ibang mesa.

Camille was also at the table beside them  eavesdropping. Her fave thing to do in parties.

Nagpaalam naman ang mag asawa saka ito umalis at nakipag-usap sa ibang naroon.

The party was for those prominent doctors of the country. Sinama siya ng mga magulang dahil alam ng mga ito na wala siyang shift sa araw na iyon.

She knew her parents very well, ginagawa ng mga ito ang bagay na iyon to make her happy. Siya nalang kasi ang naiwan sa pamilya niya dahil ang kapatid niya ay nasa ibang bansa namalagi dahil sa business nito at tanging siya lang ang piniling sa Pilipinas magtrabaho.

Lumapit sa kanya si Camille ng siya nalang ang naiwan sa mesa. 

"I didn't know you had this much of a connection to be able to attend in this big event." wika nito habang nilalaro sa kamay ang wine glass nito.

Peke siyang natawa sa tinuran nito saka maayos na tumayo at hinarap ito.

"Come on Camille, it's been three years and still no progress with your attitude. Wala ka pa rin bang natutunan sa buhay? Of course a very demure person like me deserves to attend in this kind of event. Pero ikaw?..."tiningnan niya ito mula ulo hanggang paa.  "...Anong drama ba ginawa mo at pinapasok ka?".. taas kilay na tanong niya rito.

Tumikhim naman si Camille saka tumingin sa paligid. She knew Camille na kapag sasagutin niya ito gagana ang pagiging conscious nito sa paligid niya.

Tinawanan niya ito saka tumalikod at iniwan ito. Nagngi-ngitngit naman sa inis si Camille saka sinundan niya ito. Nang matapat si Eirlys sa wine table na kung saan may champagne tower.
