Chasing The Universe [Cosmos Series#1]

Kabanata 8

I sashayed to the executive office of Ferron Enterprises. There's a woman in a cubicle near Creed's office. It must be his secretary.

"Is Creed-" I stopped when I realized something. Siya yung kasama ni Creed bago ito mawala at mapunta sa mga Amherst. Then I remember, unti unting bumilog ang aking mga mata. Its been what? Six years? Oh my God!

"Cerys, you're alive?" Nagtatakang tumingin siya sa akin. She changed a lot.

She smiled. "Pangalawang beses ko na po sasabihin 'to simula ng magtrabaho ako dito. Sorry ma'am but I'm Sela Gomez, Sir Creed's secretary at buhay na buhay po. How can I help you ma'am?" Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali.

I gave her a smile and rolled my eyes on her. "Gosh! Hanggang ngayon stupid ka pa rin. Where's Creed?"

"Do you have an appointment ma'am?"

"Wala, just tell him his wife is here." Her smile fades on what I have said but she still spoke in the intercom.

"Ma'am, wala raw pong asawa si Sir." I shot my brow up on her.

"Oh? Tell him its Mirae Lozano." Agad naman siyang tumalima.

She spoke on the intercom and nodded her head. "Pasok po, ma'am."

"Thanks, Cerys."

"I'm not-"

"Whatever." I gave her a dismissive wave as I entered Creed's office.

Creed's reading some paperworks and he shifted his head on me when I entered.

"What?" I asked when I saw a questioning look on his eyes.

"My wife, huh? Bakit ka nagpakilala na ganoon?" Tanong nito ngunit may ngisi sa kanyang mga labi.

I laughed but I make sure that I still look elegant. "I just want to annoy someone."

Nagtataka siyang tumingin sa akin at nagkibit balikat lang ako. Dumiretso ako sa chair na nasa harap ng table niya at doon umupo. "So what's the name of your secretary?"

"Sela. Sela Gomez. Why?" I don't know but I think I saw something in his eyes when he say his secretary's name. I smirked.

"Hmm, you know her?"

"What do you mean by that?" He frowned and a deep furrow formed in his brow.

"I'm asking if you know her."

"You knew something. From my past, she's part of it." Well it is not a question but a statement.

I raised a brow and smirked.

"Of course, I don't have an amnesia."

"Tell me who is she?" The last time I checked ay ayaw niyang sabihin ko sa kanya ang kahit anong nangyari sa nakaraan niya. But now he's asking me this.

"You said unti-unti ng bumabalik ang ala-ala mo. So tell me, sino ang madalas mong nakikita? Ang sekretarya mo? Nakikita mo ba?" Lalong kumunot ang noo niya dahil sa tanong ko.

"I saw Sela once. Tell me who's Sela?" I smirked.

"Even though I don't like that girl, I don't want her to vanished in your memory kapag may na triggered na something diyan sa brain mo so, no I won't tell you." Creed's amnesia is somehow a blessing in disguise. I just hope na galingan ni Cerys or Sela or whatever her name is ang pangaakit kay Creed bago pa bumalik ang ala-ala niya.

"She's important to me?" He asked, looks like he is not satisfied on my answer.

"The past doesn't matter. Kung ngayon, she's important to you, then she is. I'll give you a clue na lang, her name is not Sela but hey! don't be mad at her for lying 'cause I don't know what happened to her and its not my story to tell....and I like her than Lavinia, thats all I can say."
