CHAPTER 2:
"I would like to know kung sino ang ipapalit mo kay Kido, General." Tanong ni Whitney sa lalaki'ng nakasuot ng isang napaka-expensive naka-suotan. Nakatalikod ito sa kanya kung saan katapat ng tinatayuan nito ang pintuan ng opisina nito.
Whitney is still standing by the door when she question the very famous law commander, Mr. Chavize Sison a.k.a The General. He is her mentor, her father, her majesty and the reason why she is still alive. Ito ang tumayo'ng lalaki sa buhay niya simula pa noong mag ka roon siya ng isip.
Lumingo ang heneral at saka binasa agad siya nito. "You look stanning as ever, my love. What brings you here this early?" He has this bedroom voice that even the heart of satan will surrender on its knees. And its affecting her entire system, everytime she hears it. "Y-yes. Of course."
Napangiti ito at tuluyan na siya'ng hinarap. "You really don't like to be praised, do you?"
Siya naman ang naka-ngiti bago ito nakapag-salita. "Its not like that. It's just that, I'm too old for those commplements."
"That is not true. You're the most gourgeous woman I ever laid my eyes on. And you know, that I'm not lying." Lumapit ito kay Whitney at saka kinuha ang kamay ng dalaga.
Kinagkan ng Heneral ang dalawang kamay nito at saka tinitigan pa ito ng husto. It's like his studying whats on her mind at the time.
Ngunit, as usual wala ito'ng nabasa'ng kahit ano mang emosyon. "You're really good on hiding your emotions, my love."
"Of course, father. You taught me very well."
IT WAS 9:55 AM WHEN Idol got the call. It means it's time for him to get going and settle his new project done. Iyun naman kasi talaga ang professiona niya. To get things done.
"Saan taiyo mag-kikita?" Tanong ni Idol sa kausap nito sa kabilang linya.
Nasa patawiran na siya ng pedestirian kung saan tatawid na siya sa kabilang kalsada. "Stay where you are, she's coming for you."
"What???, Sino'ng She?, Hey X.O!"
"Chill, bro. There's nothing to worry about. The person I was referring to will be your new partner. And she's suggesting na siya na lkamang ang susundo saiyo kaisa ikaw pa ang pupuntahan siya."
"Teka, bakit bigla ata ako nag-karoon ng partner?, Eto pa iyung pinalit mo sa dati kung tarbaho?"
"No, not really. Look, Idol. She's great. You will love her. Wag ka mag-aalala, hindi iyan totally babae. She is one heck of a calliber but she will definately not your type, kaya bagay kaiyo maging partner. Ano payag kana?"
"X.O!!!?!!!"
Natawa-tawa pa ang kausap nito sa kabilanmg linya. "Sorry, pare. Hindi na ako may-utos niyan kundi ang General na. Pacenxia na wala na ako'ng magagawa para saiyo kundi ang bigyan ka na lang ng pa-alala."
"Pa-alalala? What for?"
"Don't fall for her."
"What?!!"
"Don't fall for her. If you know best." Ito lang ay naputol na ang linya nito sa kabila. Napatingin na lamang si Idol sa screen ng cp nito.
Tsk! That bastard, alam naman niya na mahina ang loob ko pag-dating sa mga babae. Bibigyan pa ako nga sakit sa puso??? Ibinulsa na ni Idol ang cp nito at saka sinimulan na ang hihintay.
This crap, doesn't make sense!, Ano naman kaya ang naisipan ng heneral at kailagan ko pa ng partner para ma-resolva ang kontrata nito???? He was thinking so loudly, hindi nito napansin na nasa-likuran na pala nito ang inaabangan na partner.
He was so busy visualizing the next 24 hours with her. Who ever she is.
