Chapter 27

Pagkatapos ng meeting ay pumunta ako sa site para i-check ito. Nakausap ko na nga pala ung supplier namin ng materyales para sa ipapatayong subdivision ni Rainne and surprisingly, company nila Cindy ang kinontrata ni Rainne para dito. Pati narin sa hotel na ipinapatayo ni Aiden sila din ang may hawak. Wow! Ang laking coincidence dahil lahat ng may kinalaman sa project na to ay kilala ko na. It’s an advantage since all of us knew the profile of each other’s work.

I spent two days in Palawan and took me a day to finish the report. Ngayon, papunta na ko sa opisina ni Rainne para i-submit ito. The deadline was at the end of the day and it’s almost end of office hours. Alam ko namang laging late ng uwi si Rainne kaya kahit mag-gagabi na, alam kong nasa opisina parin siya at nagtratrabaho.

Pagkapunta ko don ay wala nang ganong tao. Malamang nagsiuwian na ung mga ‘yon. I smiled with excitement not because I was going to submit the report. It’s because I have another reason to be here.

When I said I wanted Rainne, I meant I wanted her to be mine. Unti unti naring nawala si Alonna sa sip ko and I know that I’m done with her. Itong pagpasa ng report siguro ay masasabi nating dahilan ko lang para makausap si Rainne. Good thing that I was working for her.

Wala narin ang mga tao sa reception hall ng opisina niya kaya nagdire-diretso na ko sa pagpasok sa opisina niya but not forgetting to knock, of course.

When I heard her say ‘come in´, I plastered a smile and entered.  I found her writing down on something with cold yet serious eyes. Tumingin siya sakin saglit pero binalik din ang paningin sa ginagawa. She’s very workaholic and it’s a turn on for me. I like her working hard, if you know what I mean.

“What do you want?” sabi niya nang hindi tumitingin sakin.

“I’m here for this.” Lumapit ako at nilapag ang files sa harap niya. Kinuha niya ito at binasa saglit at inilagay sa gilid ng lamesa niya bago ibaling ang atensyon muli sa binabasa. Lahat ng ‘yon ay ginawa niya na parang wala lang ako sa harap niya.

I was feeling a little bit ignored but I loved the challenge so why not accept it?

“You know, you’re very workaholic. Wala na halos lahat ng empleyado mo pero ikaw nagtratrabaho parin. But the most intriguing part is you don’t looked so stress and as beautiful as ever. How’s that?”

She looked at me through her cold stares. Her states never leaving me as she put her fountain pen down and leaned back before crossing her arms. It’s hard to concentrate on her eyes when her last move emphasized how healthy her breasts are. Lalo pat walang siyang suot na coat  at isang sleeveless peach-colored blouse na hapit na hapit sa kanya ang suot niya. Focus Azelro!

“Why are you still here, Mr. Madrigal?” malamig niyang sabi.

“One thing, Rainne…” I emphasized her name. Agad tumaas ang kilay niya para irapan ako but let my cool act. I walk closer and leaned both hands on her table and moved my face closer. “I wanna know if your offer still stands.”

“And what offer is that?”

“Being your fourth guy.” I whispered.

Her stares became colder and her lips formed a straight line. Gusto kong basahin ang nasa isip niya pero wala akong makita sa mga mata niya. Kung ibang babae lang tong kaharap ko, malamang hindi ko na kailangan maglabas ng effort dahil konting pagpapakita lang motibo, siguradong magkukumahog pa silang lumapit sakin pero kakaibang babae ang kaharap ko. Parang walang talab sa kanya lahat ng charms ko. I could actually think of only two reasons about her immunity on my charms.
