Million Dollar Marriage

"Please, Milana... Don't do this. Let's just go back to the van and talk, okay?" Lilo kept on  luring me to go back with him.

I stopped on my tracks and faced him, ngumiti naman ako dito ng nakakaloko. Lilo's face is too stressed right now, hindi niya alma kung mag mamakaawa siya ngayon sa harapan ko o ngingiti pa 'rin habang niyayakag akong bumalik papunta sa kotse at umalis dito. He's smiling not because he wanted to, but because the airport's lounge is packed right now. 

Hindi magkamayaw sa pagkuha ng picture ang mga tao sa paligid nang unti-unti nilang nakikita ang mukha ko. Even the staffs are some what gawking at me while whispering to each other. 

I put my hat off and grinned at Lilo, "Why? What's wrong with visiting my fiance at his workplace? This is fine, Lilo."

Ang kapal ng tao ay tila dumoble kaya naman agad na pumagilid ang dala kong tatlong bodyguards, as long as wala namang nagtatangkang manghablot ay okay pa ako. I walked over at the nearest information desk at ganun 'din ang ginawa ni Lilo at dalawa pa niyang assistant.

The attendants seemed too shocked to see me but they immediately attended to me, "Miss Milana! What can we do for you po?" A girl named Ferrel asked, she's tall and slim, and she has a perfect set of teeth too!

"I'd like to know what floor is Yago's office sana. He doesn't know that I'll be coming over, it's a surprise for him kasi..." 

Tila kilig na kilig ang tatlong babae sa likod ng desk at agad-agad na binigay ang kailangan ko. They even called for a security team to help me use the private elevator on the side. While on the elevator, my phone's being bombarded with calls from Nathalia and Asia but I am not in the mood to argue with them right now kaya naman isinuksok ko nalamang sa bag kong dala. 

My nude velvet wrap up ruffles long sleeved dress is keeping my mood great since I wore it. I also added an accent to it, I wore a nude colored belt too to match it. 

"Paano kung wala siya 'don ngayon, Milana? Sinasabi ko talaga sa'yo, kapag tayo may nakasalubong na iba ay talagang mag re-resign ako." Lilo said and looked for his inhaler.

I rolled my eyes at him and chuckled at his words, "Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay pang..." At nagkunwari akong nagbibilang sa kamay, "...probably fourth time to say those exact words."

"Still! This time talaga ay totoo na, you're becoming way too hardheaded."

"And that is why you're the perfect cut for this job, Lilo. Because you're a soft-hearted one."

Tumawa naman ang tatlo niyang staff na kasama dahil napa buntong hininga nalmaang ito sa tinuran ko. 

When we've reached the floor he's in, nauna akong lumabas at nakita na ang buong floor pala ay opisina niya. But the door to his office is guarded with way too many of his men and of course, a table for the secretary. 

Dire-diretso ang lakad ko hanggang s aharangin ako sa tapat ng pinto niya, two of his men have blocked my way by their arms kaya naman naalerto ang tatlong kasama kong bodyguards. They are yet to block them but I raised my hand to tell them to stop.

"I need to see your boss. And oh, please don't mention about me being here." I smiled at the men sweetly before tapping my shoes.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry bu-" Naputol ang sasabihin ng lalaki nang tila may magsalita mula sa earpiece nila at dahan-dahang binuksan ang pinto para sa akin.

I was greeted by two familiar faces when I went it. A sour and fiery spit of fire ignited inside me when the anger that I've kept in me for years started to crawl again. But I did not give them that, instead I continued my way towards Yago, not even minding minding about his guests.
