The Girl Who Fell Apart

Chapter 6

Wildly

Nagising akong medyo pagod ang nararamdaman. It's obviously because of the loaded work yesterday. Idagdag mo pa ang mainit na ulo ni Chaos.

He's so weird. After catching him staring darkly at me while I was talking to the manager I know from his company about business, he suddenly had this mood swing.

Also, two weeks have passed, and all I can say is, it's so tiring and how unexpectedly corking, I'm now a bit used of being his secretary. But I still miss my night life and partying. Heck, I don't even remember the last time I made out with someone.

Napabuntong hininga ako tinignan ang alarm clock sa tabi ng kama ko. I'm three hours early from my usual routine. So not me, but that's how it should be now. We still have a flight to catch up today for his deal closing in Tokyo.

Naghotcake nalang ako at tea para mapabilis ang oras.

Umupo na ako sa table at kinain ang hotcake. I used to tour by myself so I learned how to cook and fry. It's basic though, not that hard to do, except if you're afraid of oil.

Bumaba na ako sa Camaro ko. I'm not going to use my Audi for now since nagamit ko na yun these past few days. I would be cheap if I use it again today so nah.

Tinaas ko ang Versace shades ko at pinatong sa ulo ko. I walked elegantly like I was in the runway. People looked at me inside the airport as if I was kind of a famous artist. I'm famous though, hindi nga lang as an artist, but because of my surname and past career. I was a supermodel by the way.

Halata ang pagkastarstruck sa mga mukha nila that boosted my confidence more. I tried to find Chaos but he was nowhere to be found. Napairap ako.

"E-excuse me, Ms. Fuentabella. Mr. Montero commanded me to guide you when you arrive. He's in this way." Sabi ng pamilyar ang mukhang babae at kinuha niya ang mga maleta ko. I think I've seen her somewhere in Chaos' office.

I brushed off the thought and just followed her.

Pagkarating ko sa isang room which I think is for VIPs' ay unti-unting sumilay sa paningin ko ang kanina ko pang hinahanap na lalaki.

Lumakbay ang tingin ko mula sa mayos na nasuklay na buhok niya hanggang sa three piece suit na suot niya.

Damn, what a dashing man that he is.

I still hate him though.

Napansin niya ang presensya ko kaya tumingin siya sa direksyon ko. I smiled at him. He judgingly looked at me from head to toe at napakunot ang noo niya.

"What are you wearing?" Masungit na tanong niya.

I proudly pointed my outfit. "Oh this, sir? This is nothing. Don't mind about it sir."

Napamasahe siya ng sintindo niya at pagod akong tinignan. "That's not what professionalism is, Ms. Fuentabella."

Medyo nawala ang ngiti ko ngunit pinilit ko pa ring panatilihin ito. I can't help but to be a little sad about it. I know I should wear the corporate attire because we'll just travel for business. I just missed traveling so much.

"Well then, should I change to my corporate attire, sir?"

He stared directly at my eyes that made me conscious. I didn't avoid his stare and still placed the smile on my face. Tumagal ng ilang segundo ang titigan at siya ang unang umiwas ng tingin.

"Let's just go." Sambit niya.

He didn't answer my question.

"Sir, is it a yes or a no?" Pagtatanong kong muli.
