Scandal 7 – In which the husband overhears his wife
Napabuntong hininga si Cassandra, gusto na niyang matapos yung benefit at magpahinga dahil sobrang pagod na siya at isa pa, everyone was whispering about Anya and Anton.
And James was watching the three of them like a hawk. She had been in James’ side ever since they entered the ballroom and thank goodness, James was having a very deep conversation with some of his business associates.
So she slipped away.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the decanter in the study. Thank God for good housekeeping. She rushed to the table and poured herself a drink.
“Mind if I have one too?” she spun around and saw Angelo Chua leaning against the wall smiling at her.
She smiled warmly at him. “Gel, anong ginagawa mo dito? Aren’t you supposed to be in the ballroom smooching everyone?” she teased.
Naglakad si Angelo palapit sa kanya, took the glass in her hand and sipped it. “Got a phone call from the office.” He answered. “And you? Aren’t you supposed to be the belle of the night?”
Cassandra poured herself another glass of scotch. “Well Anya could take my place for tonight and everyone is just whispering, I can’t take it.”
Angelo chuckled. “So you’re hiding?”
She shrugged, she raised her glass. “Cheers.”
“To what?”
“I’m leaving my husband soon.” Pag-aamin niya kay Angelo. Si Angelo palang ang una niyang sinabihan ng plano niya pwera sympre kay Anton.
Gulat siyang tinignan ni Angelo. “Wh..what?”
“Well it’s not yet official.” Of course, it wasn’t official yet, James wasn't bulging. But soon he will.
“Pero iiwan mo talaga siya?” tanong nito sa kanya.
Tumango siya at tinignan si Angelo. “I should have made this decision long ago. Natakot lang ako dati pero ngayon handa na ako. I have nothing else to lose.” It was the truth, she had always wanted to leave James but she was afraid, afraid of what may become of her. Now she wasn’t afraid anymore. She had nothing to lose now, come hell or high water she was leaving James.
She’ll be free.
Angelo touched her back and patted her. “I’m proud of you Cass. And do you think we…” he cut off.
“We what? Chua?” James barged inside the study glaring at them both but mostly at Angelo.
