Meet The Mafia Queen

xxviii. what he meant

Vanessa's POV

CATHY AND I came here in Hexagon to visit Eric. Last night, I was so dumbfounded. I don't know what he was talking about!

So, I didn't hesitate to come here to ask him, since he left early without saying anything.

"Wait here, Cathy." I pointed her seat "I'll go to Eric's office,"

She nodded as I started to walk towards Eric's office. When I reached his office, I didn't bother to knock, instead I opened it like how I open my own door

Eric glanced at me "Vanessa ..."

While holding my sling bag, I've decided to sat on a chair in front of his table. I even put my bag on it

"Hm? Aren't you happy that I'm here?" He didn't stare at me, he just continue to type something on his laptop

'What now, Pires?'

"Don't act as if I'm not here," I clenched my fist "I'm the Queen, have some respect."

Eric gazed at my direction "Busy ako, Vanessa."

Now he's calling me Vanessa

"Well, I don't care." I closed his laptop "I'm going to ask you something, Pires. So, pay attention."

"Ano?"

His voice is kinda' exhausted "What do you meant last night?"

He shrugged "Ewan,"

"What kind of answer is that, Pires?" I gritted my teeth "Just answer me!"

Eric heavily sighed "Vannie, ano ba? Hindi pa ba halata?"

What? "Gusto ka ni Michael Adler,"

"—gusto ka niyang gamitin, kukunin ka niya!" His voice echoed

I rolled my eyes "And do you think I'll let him? Come on, Eric!" I chuckled

"Vannie," he stood up "Iyon na nga ang ikinakatakot ko e,"

My forehead knotted

"—baka ikaw mismo ang lumapit sa kaniya,"

The atmosphere here inside his office is getting cold, "Pires," I tried my best to faked a laugh

"Do you think I'll do that? And for what?"

"Mangako ka sa 'kin Vanessa," he sat in front of me "Kahit anong mangyari, wag."

"—wag na wag kang lalapit sa kaniya,"

I LEFT after he said those words. I'm still confuse and,

... and I want to know more

"Queen?" I blinked twice "Ayos ka lang ba?"

It's Cathy. I nodded "Of course," I hope I am.

Cathy suddenly offered me a drink "Thanks," I sip slowly
