Embracing the Chaos (Eclipse Series #1)

Chapter 35

"He said it as if it's just really nothing!"

I ranted to Wyn. I'm video calling her just to say what's been messing my mind since I can't get enough. Mukhang marami itong ginagawa ngayon katulad ko, as you can see, she's also aiming to have her own clothing line under her name like me.

We kept on thriving for the best.

I'm fixing my mascara when I heard her stifling a chuckle, as if what I've said caught her interest and attention. Kanina pa ako kwento nang kwento pero ngayon lang siya nag-react.

Agad na tumaas ang isang kilay ko bago inis na binaba ang hawak kong mascara sa vanity, rinig na rinig ko ang mahina echo n'on dahil sa biglaang paglalapag ko rito.

I faced her with a usual yet annoyed expression in my face.

"Was it funny? He acts nothing but he's being plainly rude!" I exclaimed, I fan myself.

He's rude these days and mad at me! That night at club, I know there's something wrong with him, I just can feel it. And after what he said yesterday, I hate to admit, he can't get out of my mind up until now. This time, it's not with the same reason as before.

I was so annoyed. Shit! As long as I can, I don't want to be connected with him, ever. I just want to live at peace, not this one, oh.

"Wasn't it? Baka kasi hindi lang gan'on ka big deal para sa kan'ya 'yong ginawa niyang tulong that time? He's Axel, the snob you used to have a crush with, after all." She scoffed, she's actually busy on draping as she glanced at me. "Why are you so work up? You're meeting a client." Binitawan niya sa table ang natira sa ginupit nitong fabric.

I heaved a sigh. Right? Why am I being so pressed about it? I should had just let it go.

"Basta! It's still annoying! I just want him to be casual to me." I pouted, pushing it to be more objective kahit na alam ko naman sa sarili ko na it wasn't really a big deal.

"You have a past but you still expect him to be?" Tawa nito, I was taken a back of words. "You're not planning to take him back, right?" Naningkit ang nagdududa niyang mata.

My eyes widened, umiling ako! Do I look like coming back to exes? If our love fail before, it will fail again eventually. I don't want to go through the same shit. I'll just had to guard myself most especially my heart.

"I don't go back on my ex!" Mabilis kong depensa sa sarili. "Fine! I will stop thinking about it. It's just that I haven't sleep last night because of this." I pouted.

D'on na siya tuluyan na natawa. She sipped on her coffee with a satisfied expression on her face. Umirap na lang ako sa hangin, I'll accept her criticism since I knew that I messed up.

"Over it?" Tanong nito. "So it's curiosity on why Axel said it's just nothing and doesn't seems to care about it over work?" Mangha na tanong niya, clapping her hands slowly. "Really Sachi? That doesn't sounds like you." Ngisi nito.

I can hear her utmost sarcasm.

"Thank you for your mockery." Irap ko, tinuloy ko ang pag-apply ng make up. "Ano ba kasing if tanggapin niya na lang ang pasalamat ko, hindi ba?" I tsked in disbelief. "Yet he said it's just nothing? Okay! Then, it's nothing so I won't think about it, ever!" I groaned.

Muli kong inayos ang mascara at buhok ko. I let my hair down. I decided to wore a casual and fresh outfit attire for this meeting. It's a white cami top, I tucked it in a white trousers. I overlaid in a checkered blazer. I wore a pumps.

"You must have moved on, Sachi, it shows." Ngisi niya. "Come on, let's stop talking about him for now. Baka malate kapa sa meeting."

"Right! What am I actually doing?" Tanong ko, umiirap na sa iritasyon sa sarili. "Have you heard about Xavier flight today?" Tanong ko nang bigla kong maalala ang sinabi ni Xavier sa akin kagabi.
