Her phone was off. He have been trying to call her all day but her damn phone was off. He was so pissed off that he wanted to throw his phone directly to the granite floor. Nakapameywang na nagpalakad-lakad siya sa sariling opisina. Feeling like an idiot. It was two days ago since he last saw her but the witch had been haunting his dreams every day. At night it have been so hard to sleep!
Where is she? Is she with Zeron?
His nose flared at the thought, like he wanted to kill someone.
He threw his head back and close his eyes. Trying to calm himself by filling his lungs with air.
He heard a knock from the door.
"Come in!"
Pumasok naman si Brand, ang kanyang personal assistant.
"Jordan, we have a problem..."
"What?"
"Zeron is backing out from the partnership."
"What?! He cannot do that! An agreement has been signed!"
Lalong nag-init ang ulo niya. Ramsel won't be happy as much as he was to hear the bad news because they both need Zeron's money.
He angrily grabbed his phone again from his pocket to dial Ze's landline number. Nag-riring lang ito pero walang sumasagot. He continued calling him until a voice of a woman answered the phone.
"Hello." Sagot ng babae.
He held his breathe upon hearing the familiar voice. Napatiim bagang siya. It was Celestine's voice. She's with Zeron right now!
"Celestine." Halos pigilan niya ang sarili na bulyawan ang babae. Images of them together played in his mind like a dangerous poison.
"Jordan." Her voice was formal and reserved.
"I've been calling you..." He informed
"My phone was off."
"Then turn it on."
"I'll tell Ze that you've called, any message?"
He saved himself from the his rioting emotions. God! he wanted so much to see her again and it's driving him nuts knowing that she's with Zeron. If he had not known that she's still a virgin, he would have thought that she's having sex with his cousin right now.
"Tell him that we need to talk. I'll set a meeting for the two of us tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp"
"Okay..."
"And--"
"What?"
"Find the way out of Zeron's house if you don't want me to go straight there to drag you out myself."
Nahihinuha na niyang nagpanting ang pandinig nito.
"Excuse me?! At bakit naman ako makikinig sayo?"
"I'll bring a lawyer with me though. First, Ze can't turn back when the contract has been signed, second, you, a married woman staying inside another man's house, that's not a very good idea..." He tried to speak calmly even though he's already gritting his teeth in severe annoyance.
"You don't have to do that! May kailangan lang ako kay Ze kaya andito ako sa bahay niya, aalis din ako!"
"I'll track your phone through GPS, turn it on." He demanded
"Wait! Are you crazy Jordan??! Will you please contain yourself?"
"You want me to come and get you there?"
