♠ Chapter Ten ♠
Alessandro:
I was busy tugging all these sugarcanes but Ace's f**cking image was all over my head. Everytime I had wild conversation with that brat turned me jammed—f**k.
I shouldn't sank myself to this set-up! She was way too difficult to handle compared to this mission. I should eliminate her—out from me. I just couldn't focus and concentrate! I mean, just as now, I was lacked of sleep from that nonsense fight.
Mahigpit kong itinali ang lahat ng mga tubo. I gotta call Ija—no, not for him to decide but to tell that jerk that I gotta stick to my own plan.
"Ikaw ba si Drew? Ipinatawag ka ng seniorita," This old woman asked me. I nodded. Guess, this Amanda knew how to keep her words. Nagpaalam ako kina Nelson that gave me their teasing facial gestures, damn.
"Mag-iingat ka, pre!" Ang sabi pa. Napapailing ako saka ko sinundan ang matanda patungo sa mansyon ng mga Topaz. And this time, I should have a better view of my plans—a great opportunity.
My eyes scanned the every detail of their mansion, from where this old woman brought me, a private library owned by Topaz family. A huge painting of mayor Topaz greeted me inside.
"Upo ka," Hindi ko napansin si Amanda who was standing beside the door. She wore this very thin dress, provoking to every man.
Umiling ako. "Wag na po seniorita," Sinara nito ang pintoan. This weird creeking sound as she shut the door behind me made me feel a bit awkward standing here on foot—well, I knew this exactly. Exactly the thing I wouldn't buy with women like her.
"Tinatanggihan mo ako, Drew?" She asked as she faced me now.
"Hindi po sa ganun, may trabaho po kasi ako sa sakahan at bawal sayangin ang oras namin--,"
"Damn, I like the sound how dedicated you are in your work—pero sa'kin ka na magtatrabaho starting today," Kaagad niya akong binara with her seductive notion. Everything about her was superiority—no, a stubborn one. She wouldn't hook men if she'd be like this, tss. But f**k, not my business!
She sat on the vacant swivel chair and crossed her legs. Yes, she hell sexy pero mas sexy pa si Ace. Why was I even comparing her to Ace!?
"you'll be my personal bodyguard, Drew. Pasok ka sa standard ko, your will and dedication to work—that's how I like my man." Damn, right? I successfully attached this small camera behind me. The location was a great, two cameras has been successfully placed!
"I'll give you a total of fifty thousand salary but that qualification is only for single man—single ka pa ba?" She was asking that lame question while playing with her golden shimmired pouch. She seemed bragging my one piece shirt over a month of sweat and patience. Well, fine.
"Parte po ba sa trabaho ko ang pdagiging single?" I acted dumb. Now, she was raising her brow.
"Well, you'll protect the only daughter of Mayor Topaz, it'll require you a lot of time—day in and day out, why, aren't you single?" Single? Am I?
"Ikakasal na po ako seniorita," Ang sagot ko sa kaniya. Her face turned sour and then bitter. I knew what was she upto in this conversation—how much I wanted to roll my eyes and smirked straight at her. I'd blew my hidden agenda, I just couldn't.
"Oh? I saw her at your place kanina—she's pretty, just pretty. Would you choose her over your job with me?" She went there? She met Ace? This woman should never be underestimated. Masyadong pakialamera and got annoying attitude.
I cleared my throat bago ako nagsalita. "Pipiliin ko pong makasal sa babaeng mahal ko, seniorita," I made sure it sounds sweet and sincere.
She stood up. Out of patience but clearly holding her own seven-tailed fox. "Damn, good answer, Drew—I envy your woman. Yet, still, gusto kitang maging personal bodyguard ko, am I understood?" She finally notioned. Her face turned red. She was in fury—she didn't succeed of tempting my a*s.
"Opo, seniorita." I confirmed and nodded. I gave her way.
"Now, let's go and accompany me to the city. Marunong kang mag-drive ng car?"
"Opo," I replied. Better this be a good day to me. If she'd heed to her father's office then, this would be the best timing.
"Good, then. Magbibihis lang ako, Drew." Amanda went out at sumunod din ako para hintayin siya sa labas. I smirked after I placed five more hidden cameras before I went out the mansion.

Ace:
Naiinis na akong lumabas ng bahay. Wala talagang tubig, e! Hayss! Kelangan kong labhan tong mga damit ni Drew—mukhang walang balak maglaba ang gago.
Kahit sobrang naiinis pa ako sa talas ng dila ng lalakeng yun—dito naman niya ako sinisweldohan sa trabahong 'to. So, kakayanin!
"Sa'n ba may poso dito, Isay?" Tawag ko kaagad kay Isay na mukhang papauwi na sa kanila. Ang init pa naman ngayon—sakto talaga para maglabada.
"Halika, dun banda. Pero mukhang wala ring tubig, dun ka nalang sa ilog, Essah." Bitbit ko ang palanggana na puno ng mga damit ni Drew. Mabuti at may malinis pa silang ilog dito—sa'min, gustohin ko mang maglaba sa ilog. Naku, wala, sobrang dumi na talaga.
"Ah, sige." Itinuro ni Isa yang daan patungo sa ilog.
"Pasensya ka na, 'di kita masasamahan, Essah—may lagnat kasi anak ko." Wika nito.
"Naku, okay lang! Sige, maglalabada na ako sa ilog," Okay lang naman kung walang kasama basta't may sikat pa ng araw. Sayang kasi ang oras—kung hindi ko talaga sinilip ang kwarto nito. Hindi ko pa malalaman talaga kung hindi ako masyadong naging curious sa kwarto niya.
"Ingat!" Pahabol niya sa'kin habang tinatahak ko na ang masukal na daan pababa sa ilog. Madali lang namang tahakin dahil sa maliit na daan. Dinig ko na rin ang agos ng ilog. Binilisan ko na ang lakad ko para kaagad kong matapos ang paglalaba.

Hello, readers!
How are you all? Hope safe lahat..
Sorry for my super sluggish update. Actually, I lost my motivation to write these past few months since the classes resumed. Being a teacher in this new blended learning is never an easy.. Super busy and even saturday and sunday, ginugugol ko sa pagbibisita ng mga students na nasa malayo at yung hindi talaga marunong sa modules.
Even now and onwards, sobrang busy dahil sa mga scheduled activities. =(
I just missed my own world, so mucchhhh!
Mag-iingat po tayo palagi!
