Sweetest Pleasure

Chapter 4

LAST NIGHT was a blast! He can tell but he feel irritated, hindi parin sya nito maalala.

His phone rings so he immediately pick it up, baka importante. Pero nang marinig ang boses ng kausap agad na sumama ang mood nya

"Hey baby? How are you doing?" Sabi nito ng may mapang akit na boses

"Stop calling me that Ash I already told you that we're done, isn't it clear to you?" mariing sabi nya.

"No! We're not! Is this about the girl you're looking for? Are you looking for her again? Damn it! Kelan mo ba titigilan yang pag-iilusyon mo baby! I already tell you na kaya ko syang higitan kung pag mamahal lang ang pag-uusapan! Please--"

He ended the call, but his phone ring again thinking it was Ashley he picks it up and ready to yell on the caller, but the voice of the caller make him calm and collected in instant.

"Good morning Mr. Cruz, I just call to inform you that I left the dress at the back of your car. I ahmm.. I forgot to get it last night and when I realize it you're already gone. Hindi na ko tumawag kagabi kasi baka tulog ka na. Ahmmm... Yon lang and thank you" then the call ended

He tried to call Aurum again and again, but she didn't answer his calls It's ringing though.

"ATE ALEX pasuyo naman tutal pababa ka naman, pabili nalang rin ng black coffee please"

"Sige mamaya mo nalang bayaran pagbalik ko"

"Thank you Ate Alex, you're the best"

'Good morning everyone, paging for Ms. Mendoza from the accounting department please proceed to Mr. Cruz office immediately.' Sabi ng boses ng lalaki, galing iyon sa speaker. Ano nanaman ang trip non?

"Oy tayo na bilis, ano nanaman bang ginawa mo Aurum?" sabi ni ate alex

"Wala naman ate, bakit kaya?"

"Oh sya sige na puntahan mo na at pupunta na ko sa baba, talk to you laters!" sabay alis neto

"Ate! Haist! Papasama lang! Ay naku"

Inayos ni Aurum ang unipormeng suot habang naglalakad papuntang elevator sakto naman bumukas yon kaya pumasok na rin sya kaagad.

PAGKAPASOK nya sa opisina ni Mr. Cruz at nakitang naka ngising aso nanaman ito sa kanya.

"Ano po bang kilangan nyo Sir?"

"Oh that maaga tayong mag-a-out dahil kelangan nating mag ayos para sa party mamayang gabi."

"Bakit ba kasi sa lahat ng empleyado mo ako yong trip mo Sir? Oo na sige na. Pwede mo namang sabihin yon through phone. Diba? Bat kelangan may pa paging?"

"1st, ikaw kasi ang trip ko. 2nd, hindi mo sinasagot ang tawag ko. See this? -sabay pakita ng phone nito sa kanya- I call you 20 times and you didn't answer. And lastly trip ko lang magpa paging, 'cause, why not?" sagot nito ng mukhang nang-aasar pa.

"Whatever you say mr. Cruz" sabi nya at naglakad na papunta sa pintong kanyang pinasukan

"Take your things, we're leaving in 30mins." sabi nito na ikinalingon ko

"Agad-agad?"

"Yep agad-agad. Meet me in the parking. Pagbaba ko don at wala ka pa, kakaladkadin kita pababa" sabi nya ng nakangiti

"Try me? Di ako natatakot, I can sue you for that"

"Hmm smart ass. But I don't care, meet me at the parking lot after 30 mins." may penalidad sa boses neto
