CHAPTER 30
MARRY
I DIDN'T mind those board members who were still in the room. Hindi ko na rin inabala pang kausapin si Cymon. All I want to do is to get out of this place.
And so I did. Umalis ako ng nakataas ang noo. My pride won't let me look like a poor street rat. Agaw atensyon ang aking pag-alis sa silid. Cyanara Eloise is hard not to notice. Kahit naman lumubog na ang aming kompanya at napunta sa iba, hindi pa rin naman ako nawawalan ng pag-asa.
That's part of the business anyway, sabi pa ni Cymon sakin. One day, I will take back the company. Ipapangako ko iyan sa pamilya ko.
But first I should exit this goddamn room. Lukot na ang mukha ko nang nakalabas ako. The media was shocked when they saw my appearance.
"Oh my god, you are back!" Sigaw ng bading na reporter. They were all in chaos. I just smiled curtly and ignored their biddings. Gusto nila akong mainterview. Sorry, but I'm currently not in the mood to do such things.
Mabilis ang lakad ko at dinig na dinig ko ang tunog ng aking takong. I immediately went to the elevator. Papasirado na ito nang may isang kamay na pumigil sa tuluyan nitong pagsira.
It opened again and to my horror, Heiron Esquivel was standing tall in front of me. His raging eyes were evident. Namumula ang kaniyang mukha sa galit.
He got himself in. Siya na rin ang nagpindot sa button papuntang ground floor ng building.
"What were you thinking?" His baritone voice chilled the insides of my bone. I acted normal. Hindi ko ipapakitang apektado ako sa landian nilang dalawa.
"What are you talking about Mr. Esquivel?" I fired back. Ha! Take that, asshole. Magsama kayo sa Mecca na iyon. Pake ko sa kanila?
"What did you just call me again?" Napaawang ang kaniyang bibig. "Mr. Esquivel?" He seemed so unpleased because of it. I shrugged and kept my head high.
"Cyanara." Pagbabanta niya. I irritatingly turned my gaze on him.
"Bakit ka ba sunod ng sunod ha? You left you fiancee there just so you could talk to me?" I lashed out. My breathing became irregular. Naiinis na talaga ako sa lalakeng ito!
"I will talk to you whenever I wanted to. And Mecca is not my fiancee." I rolled my eyes. Here we go again. How many times should I deal with his lies?
"It's none of my business, sir." I heard his groan. Maybe the "sir" hit his ego more.
"Now you're calling me sir, huh?"
"You already have Atalia Inc! You will be the CEO of our own company! Technically, I should give you my utmost respect." I almost puked when I mentioned the latter. Respect my ass.
"You should've not left the room if you wanted to give me an utmost respect." Binigyan niya ng diin ang mga huling salita kaya mas lalo akong nairita. Note the sarcasm.
"Stop running from me. Masusundan at masusundan pa rin kita." He warned.
Biglang bumukas ang elevator at ang mga taong nakaabang sa labas ay nakanganga. They entered the elevator and silence reigned when it closed.
