The Elite Men Empire Series: Enzo's Perfect Match

Chapter 11. Bwisitor

"Is this okay? Do we have this on the list?"

Ipinakita ko kay Dove ang folder na naglalaman ng mga damit na isasama sa show.

"Hmm... Not yet. I-include ba natin?"

"Well I think it's fine."

"Okay then..." at kinuha niya ang photo saka nito inilipat sa isa pang folder.

We are still finalizing some tiny details. Dahil nga perfectionist si Dove, I let him take charge sometimes.

From fabrics to shoes, the colors, models and so on... Everything is on the dot.

Well...he's a fashion designer, he's got big reputation.

And we're releasing in less than a month.

"Ms. Cristina, may visitor po..." katok ng secretary ko.

Awtomatikong nagkatinginan kami ni Dove.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Hanz maybe?"

Kumunot naman ang noo ko. Hindi pa naman kami nasa ganoong level of closeness para bumisita siya sa office ko nang walang pasabi.

"Goodmorning!"

Sukat doon ay lumitaw ang mukha ng 'bisita' mula sa likod ng secretary ko.

Utang na loob, please let it be just a dream.

Oh, not a dream. It's a nightmare.

My worst nightmare in the middle of the day.

"Oh my goodness! Enzo! Come in, come in!"

Dove welcomed him just like that.

At anong ginagawa ng hinayupak na lalaking to dito???

"I don't remember inviting you in here, Mr. Ventura, so NO... you're not welcome here." matigas na sabi ko.

"Cristina, that's very rude of you!"

"It's okay, Dove. I just wanted to come by and see it for myself. This is a great place!" puri nito at inilibot ang paningin sa buong paligid.

Nagsimula na namang bumangon ang inis ko sa taong ito.

I can sense something dahil hindi ito mapapadpad sa kaharian ko kung wala itong binabalak na kalokohan.

And trust me when I say that it is VERY RARE for a Lorenzo Ventura to come visit Maria Cristina Andres's office for nothing.

I'm pretty sure he's not someone to be trusted.

NOT EVER...

Para siyang kabute na susulpot na lang kung saan niya gusto.

Ugh. Don't remind me about the wedding.

Ngali-ngali ko siyang hawakan sa kwelyo at hilahin palabas ng silid na to.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

I looked at him dead in the eyes and let him feel the coldness.

Dove was looking at me at pinanlakihan ako ng mata.

"Well, I was just wondering... if you're free tomorrow night." and then he gave me that sheepish grin.

He looked like a little boy trying to ask for a candy.

What the fuck?

"If I have that much free time, Mr. Ventura, I wouldn't spend it with you."
