CHAPTER 12: THE POSSESSIVE HUSBAND

SEEING those guys staring at his wife makes his blood boil. Kanina pa siya wala sa concentration habang kausap ang isang Chinese investor. Claire was not aware of that because she was so focused on the conversation going and busy taking notes for the important details.

"Excuse me, I'll be in the comfort room." She stood up and sauntered towards the comfort room. Halos lahat ng mesa na nadadaanan nito ay napapasulyap sa asawa niya as he observed.

He cannot blame them, his wife has a sexy figure and very feminine kung kumilos. Attracted ito sa mga mata ng kalalakihan. Aside from that, she has also that beautiful looks na hindi ka magsasawang titigan.

Aside from her alluring face, subrang kinis din ng balat nito. Hindi masyadong maputi, hindi rin masyadong tanned skin but definitely she has that lighter, fair flowless skin that added to her physical attraction. She has long, straight dark brown hair and it was swaying to her back while she was slowly walking. It is very natural. Walang halong medisina na kahit ano sa buhok nito. He is also thankful that his wife is not a fan of putting make up on her face. Konting face powder at pink lipstick ay magandang-maganda na ito. Nadiskubre din niyang hindi ito maarte sa pagkain. She was beyond approachable and friendly. Higit sa lahat, malambing pero palaban at mataas ang pasensya.

Sa buong isang linggo nitong pananatili sa bahay niya at pagiging secretary niya ay marami na siyang mga magagandang napuna sa pag-uugali ng asawa. Above and everything, she's the best employee he has in his office. Kaya pala nahihirapan si Thunder na pakawalan ito noon dahil magaling ito magtrabaho, masipag, masinop at mabait. May dedikasyon ito sa lahat ng ginagawa.

"Ahmm, Mr Schwartz." Tumikhim si Mr. Chang nang mapunang nakapokus siya sa asawa. Agad niyang sinulyapan ito at kumunot-noo.

"Yes?" He frowned. Nawawala na yata siya sa kanyang sarili. Kumurap siya at muling sinulyapan ang hallway. Inaabangan niyang lumabas ang asawa galing sa comfort room.

Mr. Chang smiled, "You seemed so miles away from here." He said with his Filipino accent English. Napansin din niyang fluent ito magtagalog.

" I am sorry Mr. Chang, I was just.." Nilingon niyang muli ang kinaroroonan ng comfort room.

"I understand." Mr. Chang chuckled. The amusement held in his eyes. "Syempre kapag ganyan kaganda at kasipag ang asawa mo kailangan mong gwardyahan time to time." He commented with humor at uminom ng tea.

Napaubo siya ng konti. He had a point. At sa totoo lang gusto na niyang umalis sa lugar na ito dahil naaalibadbaran na siya sa mga titig ng kalalakihan dito sa kanyang asawa. Bakit dito pa naisipan ni Mr. Chang na makipagkita? Maraming tao. And the place is kind of open to everyone. Kahit medyo malalayo ang mga table, walang boundaries, but the place has a good menu, he has to admit that kahit hindi siya mahilig sa Chinese food.

He fix his tie and released a small smile, "Well, if you are interested we'll send the contract right away to your email." He said dismissing the topic.

Ngumiti si Mr Chang, "Sure Mr. Schwartz. Dahil classmate ng asawa mo ang anak ko, why not? After all, maganda ang takbo ng kumpanya niyo." Anito at uminom ulit ng tea sa tasang hawak nito. Sumandal ito sa upuan.

Napakunot noo siya. Classmate ng anak niya?

Kaya pala nang makipag-usap ito kay Claire kanina ay parang magkakilala sila. But he wanted to know kung babae ba o lalaki ang anak nito.
