Chapter 7
"I hope I'm not invading your time, Jav.." Malambing na sabi ni Roxanne.
"Ofcourse," Seryosong sabi ko sa kaniya. It's the truth siya ang nasa schedule ko ngayon because she just finished her shoot and we have papers to sign.
Roxanne is one of the models of Plexico Company. She's sexy and gorgeous I'm not gonna lie. She stood up from the sofa and walk towards me. Hindi ko siya pinansin at ipinagpatuloy ang pang aarrange ng mga papel sa aking desk. I still have meetings after this kaya't sana ay matapos na agad.
To my shock hinawi niya nang kaunti ang mga papel na inaayos ko. "What are you doing?"
Instead of answering me she moved her face near my neck.
"You smell so good, Jav.." Sabi niya nang mahina at inaangat ang mukha malapit sa tenga ko. I know what she wants.
"Sorry Roxanne, I'm not interested." madiing sabi ko pero hindi siya nagpatinag. Instead of getting away from me umupo siya sa table ko. This woman!
"Just try, Jav.. I like you" sabi niya nang namumungay ang mga mata. Tatayo na sana ako ng hilahin niya ako pabalik ng upuan ko nasagi ko pa ang lalagyan ko ng mga pens! Nilagay niya ang mga hita niya sa gilid binti ko at kinuha ang kamay ko. To my horror she put my hand on top her legs! I was about to remove it when someone entered my office!
"What the fuck?" I bluntly said. I was shocked especially ganito ang ayos namin ni Roxanne!
I saw a woman holding a coffee and it's obvious that she's in shocked too.
"Oh my God! Who are you?!" Roxanne's sweet voice faded. This is her fault! I am so mad thinking I have meetings to attend at humahaba lalo ang oras ko.
"I-im sorry.. Oh my God! May n-nagtulak lang sa a-akin dito..oh my God I'm so sorry." I looked at the girl standing near the door and saw her innocent face. Namumula siya. Nakita kong aalis na dapat siya pero agad kong pinigilan.
"Stop there" I don't really know why I stopped her and I don't care if someone misunderstood the situation I had with Roxanne earlier but when I saw this girl's face suddenly, I don't wanna look dirty..
Nakakakapit pa din sa akin si Roxanne "Roxanne, leave now" madiing utos ko. Umaangal siya pero pursigido akong mapaalis siya dito. Nang makaalis si Roxanne ay tinanong ko siya kung sinong nagpapasok sa kaniya sa opisina.
"Hindi ko a-alam.. I mean.. may i-interview ako ngayon kaya ako nakapasok sa building na to.. pero dito sa opisina mo ay may nag tulak sa aking lalaki at ipinapaabot itong kape." sabay pakita niya sa kapeng hawak niya. Her face looks so red dahil sa nadatnan. I asked her who pushed her inside this office and with her descriptions I know who it is.
"Damn, Max!" Her phone rang and I don't know what to say anymore. I don't wanna look defensive that's why I asked her to leave. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang uunahin kung aabante ba siya papunta sa table ko para ipatong ang kape o sagutin ang tawag. I saw her put the phone on her ears while walking towards the table. Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin pero I saw how her face turned from red to pale one.
Nabitawan niya ang kape at unti unting inangat ang mukha. I saw her eyes with tears falling. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko and I don't know what to do.. I was amazed when I saw her crying.. I have never seen a girl cry but still mesmerizing to look at.
I was about to go near her and ask her pero bigla siyang tumakbo.
I asked the other offices about the profiles of applicants that was interviewed today and I saw her profile. Her name is Shezaleine Amore Navidad. What a unique one.
"Yo, Javier!" I saw Max's grin at medyo hinihingal pa.
"Bastard!" sabi ko at binato siya ng papel na hawak ko. Tawa siya ng tawa at ako ay nakatingin lang sa kaniya.
"Chill," sabi niya natatawa pa. Lumapit siya sakin at nakita ang profile ni Amore sa table ko.
"Bro this is the girl I want know the name! Is she accepted?" sabi niya at kinuha ang resume ni Amore sa lamesa ko. Agad kong binawi sa kaniya.
Nanggulo lang si Max sa opisina ko buong maghapon.I left him inside my office when I attended the meetings.
After my meetings my father called me and asked me to meet him. Nandito ako ngayon sa bahay. I'm inside his room and I saw him sitting on his chair at nakaharap sa laptop. He's old but not that old. White hairs and wrinkles are visible.
"Hi dad," Ngumiti siya sa akin.
"Buti at nakapunta ka. How are you?" He asked. I barely go home. I always stay in my condo dahil mas malapit sa kumpanya.
"I'm good. Ikaw?"
"I'm not young anymore.." Panimula niya. Alam ko na ano ang kasunod nito.
"I want a grandchild before I passed you the position or atleast get married." dugtong niya. Ilang beses na niya akong kinukulit.
"Dad, you know I'm not really intere-" he cut me off
"You are the only successor I have. You know your older brother has his own company and already stressed out.. I don't wanna leave you alone. At least have a girlfriend!"
I sighed. Hindi pa naman ganun katanda si Dad. Masyado lang siya mag overthink at masyadong emosyonal.
"Dad.. Just let me, okay? and andiyan pa naman kayo ni Mom," Hindi niya ako pinansin.
"How are you with monique?" he asked. I looked at his table and saw the pictures of me and Monique together. He covered it with his elbow. I know he likes monique to be my girlfriend or wife.
"We're good," 'yun nalang ang sinabi ko.
He tried giving me girls for the last 2 years and I'm getting tired of it so I asked a photographer to take pictures of us with Monique and give it to his secretary so he will not push me into another girls. It wasn't my idea, thoug. It was Maxim's.
