INLOVE WITH A GAY

CHAPTER 46: POINT DRINK

Faye's POV:

Ngumiti agad si mommy ng makita akong pumasok ng living room. Nagkakape siya at prenteng nakasandal sa malaking sofa.

"Where have you been? Hindi ka daw sumipot sa pageant nyo? What happened? Sayang din at hindi mo naabutan ang Tita Jessica mo. She was here. She's looking for you dahil hindi niya alam kung nasaan si—"

"Why did you accept the car?"

Kumunot ang noo niya sa tanong ko.

"What?"

"Why did you accept the car?! That expensive sports car na nasa labas."

"Why not? Sayo yon kaya—"

"I already told you not to accept anything!"

Binaba niya ang kape at seryoso din akong tinignan.

"What's your problem, Faye? That's your rewards from Jessica. Bakit ayaw mong tanggapin?"

Rewards?

Napatingin ako sa lamesa at nakita ang mga papeles doon. Nilapitan ko yon agad at napatulala ng makita ang permanent contract ng isang penthouse sa La Grande. Paid na iyon at naka pangalan sa akin.

"WHY DID YOU ACCEPT THIS?!"

"Why not? Do you have a problem with that?!"

"Call Tita Jessica rightnow, mom! Ibabalik ko lahat yan sa kaniya!!"

Napatayo na siya at galit na hinawakan ang braso ko.

"Are you crazy?! I just accepted what she gave to you! It's part of the deal, Faye! Kaya ano pang problema mo?!"

"I told you I don't want anything anymore. You didn't listen to me!"

"What?! So it's true that you're backing out?! Do you know what's in line because of that huh?! It's our company! You're really not thinking!"

"I don't want it anymore, ma. Please just give it back."

"NO! You don't understand that we need them for our company! It's bacause you only think about yourself!"

"Myself? I did everything you wanted. I gave up my dream course to enter business because that's what you want for me."

"You think that's enough huh?! It's not! We need their company to save ours!! Kung hindi mo ginawa ang deal, matagal na tayong wala Faye! Hinayaan kita sa mga gimik at paglalakwatsa mo, ito nalang ang maitutulong mo sakin at sa kumpanya ay ganyan kapa?! You just like your dad! Pareho kayong hindi nag iisip!!"

She shouted and quickly walk out towards her room. Napahilamos ako ng mukha at napatingin sa mga maid namin na nakiki usosyo.

"What are you looking at?!"

Gulat itong nag alisan at nawala agad sa paningin ko. Kinuha ko agad ang cellphone ko at ang number ni Brent ang una kong nakita.

"{Hello babe?}"

Wow. He's still calling me with his corny endearment.

Akala ko ay nagalit ito sakin ng iwanan ko siya sa bar noon.

"Where are you?"

"{House. Why? Got a problem?}"

"Yeah. I need a drink. You free?"
