ATM 2:A True Madness (FBS#1)

What the hell is he doing here?

"Good evening, too, Misis- oh, I mean, Ms. Martinez."

Bumati ang lahat ng tao doon sa akin pabalik pero hindi ko na makuha pang ngumiti ng marinig ang bati niya sa akin.

Hindi nakalagpas sa akin ang pagiging sarkastiko niya at ang pag-angat ng gilid ng kanyang labi sa isang ngisi.

Kung kanina ay nanlalamig ang aking pakiramdam ng makita ko siya, ngayon, gusto kong sampalin ang kanyang mukha at baka sakaling matanggal ang nakakairita niyang ngisi.

Is he making fun of me? And why is he even here?

"Are you okay, Miss Martinez?"inalalayan ako ng isa sa mga lalaking naroon malapit sa akin dahil nanlalambot talaga ang aking mga tuhod. Sh*t!

Napatayo din si Yuan pero umupo rin kaagad ng maunhan siya nung lalaking umaalalay sa akin.

"Y-yeah."gusto kong murahin ang sarili ko ng manginig ang aking boses. Damn, Samantha Louise! You shouldn't be this affected by his gaze!

And, yes. Hindi man ako nakatingin kay Angelo ngayon ay ramdam na ramdam ko ang intensidad ng kanyang titig.

"Thank you."sabi ko dun sa lalaki ng maipa-upo niya na ako sa isa sa mga upuan doon. Gusto kong lumipat ng upuan sa tabi ni Yuan dahil ang upuan kung saan ako pinaupo nung lalaki ay katapat ng upuan ni Angelo.

Nginitian ko bilang pagpapasalamat ang lalaking umalalay sa akin na ngayon ay katabi ko na ng upuan.

"I think you should sit next to your manager."nabaling ang lahat ng atensiyon namin ng magsalita yung walanghiya. Sheet! Can he just please shut the f-ck up?!

"I think it's not a problem."si Monique Martin na nakangisi na ngayon kay Angelo sa hindi ko malamang dahilan. Gosh! His name tastes bitter even just in my mind.

"Yeah."Yuan second the motion.

Hindi ko sinasadyang mapatingin kay Angelo na nakatingin din pala sa akin. His jaw clenched and his eyes were intense.

I looked away. Hindi na maganda ang pakiramdam ko dahil sa mga alaalang pilit na nagsusumiksik sa aking utak sa mga oras na ito. I want to walk away, but I just can't.

I can feel the tension in the air so I almost praise the waiter when he approached our table, which is the only table here.

"The appetizer will arrive in a minute."the waiter announced.

Napatango-tango na lamang ang iba.

"This dinner is for introducing our star model, Louise Martinez... to all of you whose part of my company."panimula ni Monique Martin."...and the new partnership between my cousin, Angelo Salazar of S&M corporation, and I. It's really a miracle that he agreed to this partnership this sudden. I mean, I am courting him for years to cooperate with my plans but he's so stubborn. So it's really surprising for me that he agreed... just right after the annual summer catwalk."nailang ako sa paraan ng pagkakatitig at ang mga ngiting ibinibigay sa akin ni Monique Martin. What?

And, wait... Did I heard it right? S&M? So, that means he didn't change the name of his company?

"Tss."that's all we heard from Angelo. He's glaring at his... uhm, cousin.

I can't believe they're really cousins! What? First, Second, or third cousin?

Monique Martin and Angelo Salazar, cousins? What the eff?!

"Since our company is experiencing so much victory right now, I come up to a vacation for the all of us. That's why you're here, people. All of you are officially invited for a week vacation."
