Not His Type

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was a casual saturday morning for an independent woman like me. I just love being alone. Wala kang iniisip kundi sarili mo at ang sarili mo lang. I don't have to rely on other people just to live. I looked outside the window pane of my office and admired my view of the city. Ito yung mga times na naaalala ko how I got here, on top of this building. All those hard work and sacrifices me and my sister made, they were all worth it.

"Kashmere, I'm expecting you at the party later?" My boss asked, almost trying to seduce me right after he got inside my office.

"Yes Sir Alfred. I'll see you later." I answered..

"And perhaps we could choose your dress for you after work today?" Tanong niya muli. So he's trying to take me out on a date later, huh. I've noticed this guy's feelings way before but this was actually the first time that he asked me out.

"I already have one prepared at home."

Sorry boss, thanks but no thanks. I'd rather go naked than wear something a man bought for me, especially a man like you.

"Oh my gosh, did you just reject Alfred's invitation for a date?" Natalia asked, still can't believe the fact that I've rejected this company's CEO.

Bakit ba big deal if girls reject some big shot guy? Like, hello? Anong bang meron sa kanila, pera lang naman. Bakit parang nakakapanghinayang? Pero kapag ang lalaki nagkagusto sa babaeng may pera, hindi pwede. Kesyo kailangan mas malaki ang kinikita ng lalaki ganito, ganyan.

"Bakit ba gulat na gulat ka pa din? You know how I hate guys like him."

"But still, he's a CEO! I know you've rejected quite a number of rich men, but he's on a different level!"

"I hate them." Sagot ko nalang.

She just sighed. The more assets they have, the more hated they become in my eyes. Men like that think highly of themselves. They can get whatever they want with money and they can even destroy a family. I swore to myself that I will never admit myself to these kinds of men.

"By the way, I saw your sister in a magazine! She got engaged to this super rich guy?"

Napahawak nalang ako sa noo ko nang tanungin ni Natalia iyon. My sister? Tch, I can't even stand looking at her smiling so happily in that picture. I can't believe that she's actually marrying someone from abroad! Based on her story, the guy's Filipino but was studying and working abroad and that's how they met. And not only that, the guy's from a well known family overseas. In short, his family's a filthy rich one.

"Let's not talk about her."

"Come on, you're going to be a part of their family! When's the wedding nga pala ulit?" She asked.

"Today." Yep, today's their wedding and I have no intention of going. For sure hindi ko magugustuhan ang atmosphere sa reception na'yon kaya hindi nalang ako pupunta. I might do something crazy and that's worse.

"Say what?!"

"They're probably on their way to the reception right now." I casually said. I tried to stop my sister and she didn't even listen kaya bahala siya. I won't go to their wedding.

Hours passed and I'm finally on my way to the party. I'm wearing this strapless bright red dress with a thigh high slit. I know, too revealing, but that's my style. I'm that cat-eyed girl with a bright red lip kind of make-up and long blonde hair.
