The Fall of Holden Hidalgo [Completed]

Chapter 5 - Secretary

Chapter 5 - Secretary

(POV Holden)

SECRETARY. Helena is my secretary, but why do I have a feeling that I have an instant girlfriend. Though she acts professionally kapag nasa office kami at kapag nasa harap ng ibang tao, it is an entirely different story kapag kami lang ang magkasama. She is clinging to my arms whenever we are alone. She is holding my hand kapag naglalakad kami. She is so fucking sweet and I don't have the energy to stop her.

"Friday night ngayon. May pupuntahan ka ba ngayong gabi or derecho ka na sa bahay mo?" tanong niya sabay bigay sa akin ng tablet ng naglalaman ng schedule ko sa lunes.

"Are you asking me out for a Friday night date?" tanong ko without looking at her.

"May lakad akong iba. Quality time with my boyfriend."

"May boyfriend ka?" gulat ko na tanong sa kanya.

Hindi na nakapagtataka na may boyfriend si Helena. She is smart and stunning. Hindi mukhang artistahin, but she has a sweet face na lalong gumaganda kapag matagal mo ng kasama. Not to mention her smooth skin na ilang beses na niyang idinikit sa akin. She just did not know that her soft touch is damn affecting me.

"Baby, meron akong ka live-in partner. In fact, this is our first night together. I am going to give him my body for the first time."

Una Holdie ang tawag niya sa akin. Ngayon naman ay Baby. I tried to stop her from using these names, but this girl is stubborn as fuck.

"Too much information, Helena. Masyadong personal na ang mga bagay na 'yan," I answered as I silently gritted my teeth.

The thought that some other guy will touch her is killing me. I am being jealous of someone na hindi ko pag-aari which is entirely wrong.

"All good. Tuloy lahat ng meetings ko for Monday. Enjoy your weekend," sagot ko sabay balik ng tablet sa kanya.

"Laters, my Holdie," she sweetly answered before disappearing in my office.

Wala naman akong pakialam kay Helena. Sooner or later, she will take up a higher position. Baka nga bumalik na siya sa ibang bansa after ng training period niya under my wing. I should not invest any emotions or attachment to her, but I found myself searching for her social media profile.

She has several social media accounts. She is very private at bihira magpost ng kung ano ano tungkol sa kanya. Obvious sa mga accounts niya marami na siyang napuntahan na lugar sa ibang bansa.

Helena is a pretty normal girl, except for the fact that her life online life seems to only start three years ago. No life events showing before that. It is like she deleting everything in her previous life.

Naputol ang pagse-search ko online ng information tungkol kay Helena nang kumatok sa pinto ang aming resident security guard. Hindi ko namalayan na past seven na ng gabi at nandito pa rin ako sa opisina. Nagmadali ako na dumaan sa isang grocery store at umuwi sa bahay para makapagluto ng pagkain. Every Friday night is my Me Time. Madalas nagluluto ako ng pagkain at nanonood ng movies.

Dahil umuulan ngayon, medyo na-traffic ako at ginabi na ng uwi. I was about to go out of my car when I saw a familiar figure standing in front of my garage gate. May hawak siyang umbrella at katabi niya ang isang brown trolley bag, Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas.

I am familiar with this as my mother is a fan of designer's bags. Dahil malakas ang ulan, hindi sapat ang payong para hindi siya mabasa. Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng kotse para puntahan ang babaeng nagmistulang basang sisiw.

"What the fuck are you doing here? You are soaking! Aware ka ba na may bagyo ngayon?" tanong ko kay Helena.

Her white tank is already soaked and the outline of her black brassiere is already visible. Mabilis kong kinuha ang luggage na dala ni Helena at pinapasok sa loob ng bahay ko.

My house is a two-storey modern structure with loads of glass windows and doors. Helena is right, this is worth millions. My father asked me to build my dream house and funded it. Buong akala ko ay ibebenta niya ito dahil nasa Buy and Sell business siya, pero hindi ko alam na ireregalo pala niya sa akin ito.

"Bakit ang tagal mo umuwi? Kanina pa kita hinihintay ah? Saan ka ba pumunta?" tanong na biglang naghubad nagtanggal ng black blazer coat niya nang makapasok na kami sa loob ng bahay.

"Na-traffic ako dahil sa lakas ng ulan. Teka, you are supposed to be with your boyfriend for your so-called quality time. Bakit ka nandito? Nag-away ba kayo ng boyfriend mo?"

"You're my boyfriend, My Holdie. Ano iniisip mo? May iba ko lalake?"

"Ako ang boyfriend mo? Nabasa ba ng ulan ang ulo mo at nalusaw? Helena, magkakasakit ka sa kalokohan mo---"

Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita nang biglang hinubad ni Helena ang kanyang white tank top. I have no choice, but to divert my gaze.

"Where is your bathroom?" she casually asked as she removed her black slacks.

Though hindi ako masyadong nakaharap sa kanya, I can see from my peripheral vision that she is stripping in front of me. It is either wala siya pakialam na makita ko ang hubad niyang katawan or she is seducing me which is a bit effective.

"Doon ka na sa kwarto ko maligo para may hot bath. Second floor, first door," sagot ko without looking at her.

Helena disregarded me and took the stairs. A woman with nothing on is now striding on my stairs. I want to divert my eyes away from her, but her sensual walk made me speechless.

Damn it, Helena! Hindi ka dapat naglalakad ng hubad sa bahay ng isang lalaki!
