CHAPTER 20

TILA nagbago ang isipan ng binata  nang marinig niya ang mga litanya ni Anne Margareth.

"Anyway, do whatever you want. It's not my business to care. Know your limitations and you'll be fine."

"Thank you for that piece of advice."

Marahan na tumawa ang dalaga. "My pleasure, boss."

It slightly irritated him when she called him like that. "Call me by my name," he retorted. Nangunot naman ang noo ng dalaga. "Ano?" Tanong niya.

Huminga ng malalim ang binata. "Drop the formalities and all me by my name, Arceus."

"Sige po, si--Arceus."

Hindi alam ng binata kung bakit parang may sasabog sa kalaliman ng katawan niya. Yung para bang bomba na kapag sumabog, hindi mo na mapipigilan ang iyong nararamdaman.

It feels weird yet it feels so right for him. It somewhat reminds of him the romantic novels that he read ever since he was a young kid. He was even exposed to romantic movies which is his cup of tea. Hindi lang halata sa kanyang mukha.

But when it comes to love, he's naive. Even though he already binge-watched a lot, ever since he started the pre-pubescence period, he lacks something. Although, he's still learning.

"I'm curious. Since when did you handle the hotel companies?"

"3 months ago,"

"Really? How old are you?"

"I'm 24 years old."

"Since you already asked a lot, it's my time to question you."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 21 years old."

"Ex-boyfriend?"

"What?"

"I'm asking if you had an ex-boyfriend." Arceus explained in a gentle manner.

"I had...a lot."

"I thought that I was the one."

"Anong sinasabi mo, sir?" Nakakunot ang noo ng dalaga. "Sa pagkakaalam ko, walang tayo. At saka, walang label. I don't know the ral score between us,"

Mapait na napatawa ang binata. Oo nga naman, walang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa. Arceus thought that he already put the label. But he felt as though he was slapped by he reality. Ang katotohanan na hindi niya pagmamay-ari ang dalaga.

Why is he even thinking like that? Did he already fall in love with her? No way!

How can the sex god fall in love from his employee? It's a big scandal! Once the reporters attempted to unveil his endeavors, Arceus will surely be the talk of the town.

And if that happens, the outstanding endeavors that his father improved and cared will eventually go down. Everything that started from the peak of the mountain wil fall until it reaches the bottom.

But Arceus Cervantes is not the typical fuckboy who didn't know the aftermath of every sin that he commit. Nasubukan niyang takpan ang kanyang mga pagkakamali noon, ano naman kung ito'y maulit? What's the difference?

He already once covered his mistakes and it doesn't mean that he will fail this time? He mastered the art of lying and pretending. Marahil ay sapat na 'yon upang hindi siya bumagsak.
