Her Blazing Desire (IB Hotel Series #1) ON-GOING

CHAPTER TEN

Ten

"FROM one to five, how will you rate the service of the hotel?"

Maingay na nagbabasa ang isang guest namin ngayon dito sa front desk dahil nag check-out na siya at mayroon kaming survey, it's mandatory, but only for those who were in a presidential suite.

I just smiled all the time while waiting for him. He's still thinking about it, maybe he didn't like the service?

Nag-angat ito ng tingin kaya mas lalo kong nilakihan ang ngiti ko. I saw that he smiled too.

"What if beyond five?" He laughed.

What a relief! I smiled more showing my teeth and laughed with him. I heard Ninya laughed too. Mabilis ko siyang sinamaan ng tingin kaya napalis ang tawa niya.

Nang malaman ko kung ano 'yung nasa leeg ko ay kinulit ko siyang sabihin kung anong ginawa ko noong isang gabi, pero ayaw niya pa rin sabihin.

Just what the fudge right? How did I get a hickey? Did I sleep with anyone in the hotel? I shouldn't have drunk last night, but I was just really disappointed.

Kaya ngayon ay tinakpan ko ito ng concealer, hindi ko alam kung hanggang ilang araw matatanggal ang marka but, I'm hoping for it to heal soonest.

"I like your service, who wouldn't? This is a five-star hotel. I did not regret checking in here," dagdag pa ng guest.

I put my hands on my chest because of what he said. I'm overwhelmed. He smiled again so I slightly bowed my head. Nawala na siya sa paningin namin kaya bumalik na ako sa dating mukha ko.

"Mellisa, I mean— Ms. Lisa, sabay ba tayo mag lunch—"

"Hindi muna ako kakain, I have a lot of things to do," I gave her a cold stare and turned back.

I sighed. This is so frustrating! Gano'n ba talaga kahirap sabihin sa akin ang nangyari? Ang ginawa ko? Natatandaan ko noon, may ganitong pangyayari din, she even recorded me with a video from what I did at that time when I got drunk but now she doesn't want to spill it!

Ilang oras rin akong nag stay sa opisina para sa mga paper works, gano'n din naman sa rounds. I'm feeling tired already and my feet hurt, especially I'm wearing wedged.

I sighed when I finally sat on my chair. I looked at my phone and received a message from Mama, asking me if I'm okay.

Surely, I'm not, but of course, I have to lie so she doesn't need to worry about me. I deleted the number of Robert, but not our pictures, I don't know, I still can't forget him yet.

It takes time, time heals all wounds they say. I only trust the process now.

Nang mapatingin ako sa bintana ay nakita kong nagkukulay kahel na rin ang langit. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang may kulang ngayong araw.

That's when I knew that Sir Keegan didn't bother me the whole day? Is there a problem? I mean— It's not that I want him to bother me, but I'm just confused because normally, he always demands me to do things that he wants for his suite and— for him.

Ugh. Never mind. At least work lessened because— wait, or maybe not?

Napatigil ang pag-iisip ko nang biglang tumunog ang telepono sa table ko. Napalunok ako bago ko ito sagutin.

"H-hello? This is housekeeping, how may I help you?"

No answer from the other line.

"Hello?"

Is this Sir Keegan?

"Hi, is there anything that I can help—"
