"That was a misunderstanding..Mr. Soray. It was my fault I misread the files...For what it's worth, you are one of the most efficient employees I have. So, once again I apologize." 

I heard his baritone voice. Nakasandal ang aking balikat sa dingding ng opisina ni Immanuel. I'm eavesdropping to make sure that Ethan is doing what he's supposed to be doing.

"So..I'm not fired?" 

"No, Of course not."

"Okay..thank you, Mr. Del Russo.."

"Really, there's no need for that. Just go back to work." 

Napasandal ako sa dingding at napahinga nang maluwag. Immanuel is back on track. Now, I have to meet the other end. I have to date him. Fuck.

I stood up straight and started walking away. Maya-maya ay narinig kong bumukas ang pinto ng opisina ni Immanuel and my nostrils caught a whiff of Ethan's scent and now he's walking beside me.

"Happy?" He whispered as we walked together. His hands in his pockets.

I nodded and rolled my eyes.

"You caused it, so why would I be happy?" I sarcastically replied.

A chuckle vibrated from his throat. 

"Damn, I really love how feisty you are."

I stopped in my tracks noong malapit na kami sa mga cubicle. I turned my body to him and raised my chin so I could meet his piercing green eyes. A boyish smirk appeared on his naturally pink lips. Nakakaasar ang gwapo niya. Nakahawi ang kanyang buhok sa gilid.

"Now.." Hindi ko masabi ang susunod na sasabihin ko. I'm still staring at him. He arched his left thick eyebrow.

"Now? Is this the part where you kiss me for doing such a great job?"

I cleared my throat and shook my head as I felt myself blush.

"You wish. N-now, leave me alone..at least for the rest of my work time."

He nodded ngunit may ngisi parin sa kanyang mga labi.

"Why? You can't focus because everytime you see me..inappropriate thoughts creep up in your mind?" He winked.

Mabilis akong pinamulahan. This arrogant sexy àss. 

"I'm kidding...Of course and then I'll have you all to myself after work." Pilyo niyang sagot na mas lalo kong ikinapula.

I looked away. Napakagat ako sa aking labi. Shit. I can't stay after work. 

"I can go up around three in your o-office." Mabilis kong sagot.

His brows furrowed as his eyes squinted at me.

 "Why is that? Is there a boyfriend waiting for you at home?" His eyes darkened.

No shit, Sherlock. It's your daughter. I pursed my lips as I thought of a quick excuse.

"No, of course not..it's just that...I don't have a lot of work to do...and you k-know the sooner we get things done..the b-better."

I sighed inwardly when he nodded in agreement.

"Very well."

"Reagi--Mr. Del Russo!"

Mabilis akong napalingon kay Yana na ngayon ay nakatitig kay Ethan. She's clutching two folders in her chest.

"Ms. Sampang." 

Mabilis na namula si Yana. His effect on women is undeniable and I can't believe that I'm not immune to that.

"Yana.." I cleared my throat and stood beside her.
