His Nefarious Schemes

Kabanata 27

"Okay, okay! Chill!" sigaw ko at mabilis na lumabas sa condo ko. After two hours of walking out my mom already called me! Nagging why I didn't go to the site.

"Don't try me Aubrielle Isla. You know what I can do." she threatened. Groaning, I started driving.

"I know okay? I really went there but I got dizzy. Probably because my schedule is full and I barely slept." pag-iinarte ko.

"Really? Are you fine now?" may bahid na pag-aalala sa boses ni mommy.

"Yeah, I just got dizzy. Sorry mommy." sabi ko sa malambing na boses. I was a little bit happy because she got swayed by my words.

"That's fine. You're okay now right? Bakit hindi ka na lang pumasok sa opisina ni Engineer Falcone at nagpahinga?" Umirap ako.

"I was going to mommy but Engineer Chavez stopped me!" parang bata na nagsumbong ko. "She said I can't enter if Engineer Falcone isn't inside the office or on the site."

Nguso ko. Nabwi-bwisit talaga ako sa Engineer Chavez na iyon! I can't believe babalik lang ako sa site dahil tinawagan ako ni mommy! I just woke up and the first thing I heard is her long nagging.

"Is that so? You're fine now right?" I just hummed in response and parked my car. I saw Engineer Falcones car so I think he's here already. Siya rin siguro ang nagsumbong kay mommy!

"Mommy I'm already here I gotta go." we bid our goodbyes and I finally ended the call.

I didn't even have a chance to fix myself! I literally just woke up and mom called me saying I should go to the site pronto! Huminga ako ng malalim bago lumabas sa sasakyan at pumunta sa opisina ni Engineer Falcone. Engineer Falcone is standing in front of his office door like he's really waiting for me.

"Ugh hi?" I smiled. His face expression is unexplainable! Hindi ko alam kung galit siya o ano.

"You're late." kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya at tinuro ang sarili ko.

"Ako? Late?" naguguluhang tanong ko.

"Baka ako?" pilosopong sabi niya kaya tinignan ko siya ng masama.

"Wait kakagising ko lang let me process everything first." Pumikit muna ako at huminga ng malalim. "Okay what?" I asked.

"You're late." he said his face was all grumpy.

"Excuse me! Ikaw kaya ang late! Ang aga ko kaya dito tapos umalis nalang ako." I said crossing my arms. Kumunot ang noo ni Engineer Falcone.

"Then why didn't you go inside my office?" I groaned. Remembering how Engineer Chavez annoyed the hell out of me.

"Eh kasi ang bwisit ng Engineer Chavez na yun!" I hissed.

"Are you talking about me?" I directly rolled my eyes as soon as I heard the voice of Engineer Chavez.

"Hindi. May iba bang Engineer Chavez dito?" Umiirap na sabi ko pero puno rin ng sarkasimo.

"Aubrielle..." he warned. God why does he keep calling me Aubrielle!

"Chill! You guys are so hot headed! Do you want chowking halo halo?" I joked but they were serious so I felt like I should also be serious. Perks of hanging out with Xavier.

"Kidding!" bawi ko sa sinabi ko.

"What were you saying about Engineer Chavez Aubrielle?" kailangan talagang itanong sa harap ni Engineer Chavez?

Not like I'm scared that she'll know I hate her because I'm going to be very vocal about that but does he really expect me to tell him what happened in front of Engineer Chavez? Para naman akong batang nagsusumbong kung ganon!
