Thy Worth

CHAPTER 37 | Wildfire

Via Samantha Asuncion

"Miss Asuncion!"

Agad na malalaman na delubyo ang dala ng babae sa lakas ng pagdating niya. Literal na malakas dahil sa pagtunog ng kaniyang nagtataasang takong sa bawat paghakbang niya palalapit sa aking kinaroroonan.

The truth about me and my not-so beautiful past which was uncovered yesterday spread like wildfire.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung magiging headline na naman ako ng newspaper one of these days.

And seeing Meghan Williams in total hysteria today is no longer surprising. I expected her earlier actually. She's  a bit late. 

"Yes? What can I do for you Miss Williams?" I replied nonchalantly. 

Kung agresibo si Sabrina, mukhang doble itong si Meghan. Agad niya akong sinugod at pinagsasabunot.

"I warned you bitch. But you didn't seem to listen at all." She scowled as her hands were storming my hair.

Lumapit na ang mga kasama ko sa department upang umawat sa rumaragasang galit ni Meghan. 

Jeez! Ano ba naman itong buhay ko at laging nakabuntot sa akin ang eskandalo?

Ramdam ko ang sakit sa scalp ko sa pagkakasabunot ni Meghan. 

I dealt with my half-sister Sabrina yesterday and today I still had to deal with another woman named Meghan who is twice as ballistic as Sabrina.

"Sir Brylle! Buti po dumating kayo. Yung girlfriend niyo po bigla na lang sinugod si Via, " sumbong ni Erise sa kadarating lang na si Zach. 

Nagmadali siyang lumapit sa amin pero napatigil siya kalagitnaan. Lito kung sino ang dadaluhan. 

Then finally he made up his mind. He went to his fiancée. Of course, that's already a given. 

Saka hindi naman ako ang nagwawala rito at nangangailangan ng awat kundi ang girlfriend niyang minsang parang kinulang din sa aruga. 

"Let me go Zach! I'm gonna teach that bitch a lesson." Niyakap na siya ni Zach para hindi na makalapit pa sa akin. 

"Meghan. Meghan please.  Calm down. Let's talk baby." Turan ni Zach sa babae. Saka lamang ito kumalma. Para itong isang mabangis na hayop na biglang umamo sa isang himas lang ng may-ari.

"Zach, please remove that bitch here.  Make her leave this place!" Ngayon naman ay para itong paslit na nagpapabili ng candy sa magulang. 

What the hell! Remove me from  Alta Monte? Hindi nga nagawa ni Sabrina na isang investor dito ikaw pa kaya?

Tss. What an immature brat!

Himala ngang natagalan ni Zach ang ganyang attitude. Eh baka naman mahal ni Zach Via kaya ganun. Wag kang judgmental. 

"I'm sorry but you know I can't do that Meghan."

"Then you leave this place baby. You're brilliant. I'm sure you can just find a workplace better than this. Or let's just go back to Italy. You can work there and we can stay there for good."

"Baby, I can't. I thought we already agreed on this. You'll support me right?"

I rolled my eyes while listening to their cheesy conversation.

I guess the issue isn't really about me but it's more on between the two of them.

Foolish Meghan. 

"Yes baby. You love me right?" Meghan inquired childishly. 

Palagay ko ay gusto niya lamang akong paringgang siya ang mahal ni Zach. Like I care duhhhh.
