May FOREVER ba sa NEW YORK?

CHAPTER 11: Purity meets Adrian

           

PURITY'S POV

"What did you do there?," He asked.

The woman in black dress, black stockings, black stiletto and yellow scarf just stood and gazed at him in mute appeal.

Then, Adrian heard, "KIngina! SI ADRIAN!" The woman muttered to herself but unknowingly it was heard by Adrian.

"What is KINGINA, woman?" He asked looking straight into the woman's eyes.

Patay ka Purification................

**************************

I was not able to move my body, when I heard his voice.... Adrian's deep baritone voice.  Furthermore, I was dumbstruck too, for Pete's sake! I just stared and ogled at him with my own eyes.

Adrian stood up from his swivel chair and walked towards my direction. He was tall and heavily built with his broad shoulders. His biceps were delectable to see. His suits were perfectly fitted to his brawny built. He's one hell of a slick, red hot creature of this city. He's captivating and..... and..... and...... desirable. He's really an angel of God. "Oh My God, Purification, anu ba yang mga pinagiisip mo," I chastised myself.

Adrian stood in front of me and cleared his throat. "Are you done eye-rapping me?," he said with a smirk. "I would repeat my question, "What did you do in that room? and "What is Kingina, woman?", he added while crossing his arms on his chest.

I just couldn't believe it. What a rotten character this person had! He called me woman instead of my name. He also accused me of eye-rapping him. "Ang kapal ng mukha ng mokong na ito ah. Hindi niya ba ako kilala or hindi niya ba alam ang pangalan ko? Siguro naman ay binigay na ni Ms. Caine and pangalan ko sa kanya. At ako lang naman ang andito sa office niya. Buwisit itong lalaking ito!," I was annoyed already.

I snapped back to my consciousness and looked sharply at him. "Excuse me? Don't you ever call me woman because I have a name. Did your secretary tell you about me? FYI, the reason I was in that room is I needed to pee. I didn't get or move anything in that room. FYI, I was not eye-rapping you. KAPAL MO! (Hindi naman niya maiintindihan eh.) What is Kingina? It's nothing, ok?!, I rolled my eyes at him.

Adrian was still standing in front of me. He's watching me with an adorable smile on his face. "Why the hell is he watching me?, Nakakairita itong lalaking ito. Kung hindi ka lang gwapo, sinapak na kita eh," I uttered to myself.

He slowly advanced himself towards me. My heart pounded loudly inside. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing.

Inhale..... Exhale..... Inhale..... Exhale.... Inhale... Exhale....

When I opened my eyes, Adrian was standing in front of me. I was just in level of his chest. I looked at his two expressive gray eyes. "I was expecting Stephanie. But, I guess, she's not available. So, you are Hmmmm, Purification Gonzales, the sale associate of Fifth Avenue Exclusive Men's Boutique, right?," he asked with his brow raised.

"Anak ng tokwa! Wala ba itong alam talaga? At ni hindi man lang ako kamayan.", inis na sambit ni Purity sa sarili.

But, of course, I need to act professionally in dealing with him. So, I answered, "Yes, Mr. Carlmas. Stephanie was not available due to another client. So, she sent me here instead. I brought with me our new brochures and catalogues for your advantage. You could look at them and choose what suits you. You could call us or email us with your choices." 

I was acting normal and steady although I was really tensed of our close proximity. "Ang ganda ng kanyang mga mata, in fairness ah. At ang gwapo niya talaga sa malapitan," I told myself.
