Compromised Hearts

Chapter 5

*Steam Warning ⚠️ *

Shet! My head hurts!

Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw sabay sa sakit ng ulo ko. I looked around. This place is- NOT MINE! Shocks! Kanino na naman 'to!

The room was big. Just plain black and white and gray. Lumapit ako sa table na katapat sa kama nang makitang may glass of honey and sticky note doon.

Drink this. I already washed your clothes at pinahatid ang kotse mo dito para may gamitin ka. Come to my office once you're already clean. Magkakainan tayo.

-Kairo

What does he mean sa magkakainan tayo? Is that even a word?

Tinitigan ko saglit ang honey juice bago ko ito ininom. Baka may gayuma to mahirap na. But wait did he make this?

I gave myself a tour around his condo. It's really nice. I love it because this is somehow my taste. I took some photos of it for samples na gusto kong design na ipapakita kay Tristan.

I immediately took a shower when I arrived sa hotel room ko. I got dressed into an above the knee semi formal white dress and paired it with white heels. I grabbed my sling at umalis na.

Carver Industries

Their building changed and it's much more nicer. I was still in elementary the last I came here. Papa decided to finish my studies abroad when my parents died. He said it'll be much safer for me because he's there to look after me. Mas nauna nga lang siyang umuwi sa akin kasi the company needed him here.

I parked my car. At pumasok na.

"I'm looking for Kairo Ashton Carver." I said nang makalapit sa front desk.

"Do you have an appointment with him ma'am?"

"Hmm... No, but he asked me to come."

"Name?"

"Serynah Anise Valeria"

She just nodded, "Just wait a moment ma'am." at may dinial. Si Kairo ata. Tsk. Dami pa kasi pasikat eh.

"Yes sir. Okay sir. I'm so sorry." she ended the call and smiled at me like we're close.

"I'm so sorry about earlier, ma'am. 17th floor po."

"Thank you." at sumakay na sa elevator.

Paglabas ko nang elevator. It felt weird. Bakit ang tamihik? Wala bang tao dito? Naglakad lakad ako to see if someone is in here para mapag tanungan ko.

"It's just you and me." he whispered, his breath tickling in my ear. I got goosebumps.

It's him.

"What do you need, Kairo?"

"Do you have lucky charms for breakfast?"

Humarap ako sa kanya and raised my eyebrow, "What?" I'm so confused. Ano trip ne'to?

He slowly moved closer to my face, we're inches apart. I can feel his minty breath.

I took a step back. Slowly moving away from him. "Because you look magically delicious." he seductively said, still moving towards me and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

I stood there motionless. Unable to process whatever was happening. Then a sudden realization splashed on me. Shit. Last night.

"Breakfast, my sweet?" He was already sitting on the couch in his office. There was take out on his coffee table.
