Unshed Tears

Kabanata6-Bothered

Hindi ako makatulog. I can't sleep! At dahil yun sa kanya! Why is he suddenly like that? The last time I checked, he's very cruel to me. He won't even look at me the way he looks at those girls. Maybe because he finds me immature? unlike his girls.

My phone vibrated and I think it's Margaux, we're texting the whole time after Del Fuego leaves!

From: Babe_Del Fuego
Are you asleep?

I never expected he's going to contact me. And why is he asking a stupid question? Nagtipa agad ako ng sagot para sa kanya.

Ako:
No. not yet.

Ilang segundo pa ang lumipas ngunit nag reply agad sya.

Sya:

You should sleep now. Tomorrow is your first day right?

Ako:

Yeah. Ikaw din, matulog ka na. Have a goodnight!

Pagkasend ko nun ay nakatulog ako ng may ngiti sa mukha.

Kinabukasan, maaga akong gumising para ipaghanda ang aking sarili. Unlike yesterday, I'm not going to cook for him. I learned my lesson.

Kahit ayaw ni Del Fuego na magsuot ako ng maiikling damit, wala akong choice kundi suotin ang black fitted dress na hanggang hita ko lang. Actually, lahat ng damit ko ay maiikli at masyadong revealing. Nasanay kase ako and I'm comfortable wearing something like this.
Inayos ko ang aking buhok inilugay. The natural curls on its tip is very visible. Nag make up narin ako so I'll be looking presentable in front of everyone.

After preparing myself, taas noo akong naglakad palabas ng aking suite at dumiretso sa receiving area ng mga employees sa Supermarket. Nag logbook muna ako at biometric bago ako nakapasok. I headed my way to my office straight away but through my peripheral vision, I can clearly saw how their heads turn around and watch me. I smiled and greeted them and I'm glad to hear their response.

Wala naman akong masyadong ginawa kundi ang mag check sa mga stocks, sa mga allowance ng employees na bali kinsina, sa mga products na dumarating at ang mga papaexpire na produktong kailangang palitan especially sa bakery. Nandun lang ako sa office ko the whole morning and nobody isn't there to approach me when I'm bored! damn busy day for them.

It's almost 12 when I decided to take my leave. 1 hour and break namin at kailangang makapag in na kami 5 minutes before 1. At dahil nasa 3rd floor ang office ko katabi ng HR, bumaba pa ako. Good thing may elevator dito dahil ang sakit sa paa kapag lalakarin ko ang 3rd floor to 1st floor considering na ang hahaba ng hagdan nila!

When I reached the 1st floor at bumukas ang lift, dumiretso agad ako sa receiving area taking few steps to finally reach there but I swallowed hard when Del Fuego is heading in my direction! Darn, I can't still forget what happened yesterday!
Iiwas na sana ako but he's quick gestures blocked my way. His touch sent shivers down to my spines but as a good actress I can be, I managed to talked like nothing is wrong.

" Can't you let go of my hands? They're watching us." mahina kong bulong sa kanya but his brows shut and his deep glare affects my whole existence! his looks are very intimidating!

" What did I tell you yesterday, huh?" His voice is full of authority. Na para bang kapag hindi mo sinunod, malalagot ka.

" Sorry pero nagkaroon ako ng amnesia, ano bang sinabe mo kahapon, sir?" I acted like a maamong tupa waiting for the lion to devour me!

" Shut up. " galit nyang togon. " I told you not to wear revealing clothes because you're distracting the employees! Damn, girl. You're so hard headed. " mahina ngunit may riin ang bawat salita nya.
