BASTARD 2: Tjardo Voltemaz - The Deception

CHAPTER 10: Jealousy?

CHAPTER 10

THE RAIN STILL CONTINUED, Aria was able to manage her feeling when the stranger let her in his car to take refuge from the weather. Despite of her state, the man never seemed bothered wheter she's soaked that she might stained his car though she can see he's also damp that less her problem.

"Thankyou again..." she said almost whisper as she end with a warm smile.

"No, it's fine. If am able to help then I wouldn't hesitate to do it." he huskily said as he trying to reach something from behind. It was dry towel as he handed it to her.

"Patuyuin mo na sarili mo." anito at nag-alalang tinignan niya ang binata.

"How about you, Sir?" She asked worriedly. He's also damp and he need to dry himself too.

"I'm fine, just help yourself. What about having some hot drinks, coffee perhaps?" suhetisyon nito at namilog ang mata niya.

"Ay nako! Wag na, Sir. Gusto ko nalang sanang humiram ng phone niyo para tawagin ang kaibigan ko para sunduin ako." nahihiyang sagot niya pero sa nakikita niya ay parang hindi pumapayag ito.

"Let me help, after coffee then I'll drive you back to your home then." mukhang pamimilit nito sakanya.

"Okay lang ba sainyo? Ako kasi nahihiya." ani niya at sinabayan ng mahinhin na tawa habang pinupunasan ang basang-basa niyang balat.

"You don't have to, I'm a nice guy. No need to worry about me." he said as he show a radiant smile, making her feel that she's safe being with him.

"Oh by the way? I'm Fract Montano, I'm the owner of Montano Coffee. You can see our branch anywhere in the city." He said with confidence.

"No way! You are?" hindi niya mapigilan masigurong muli.

"I am, sorry if I sound like too boastful." nahihiyang saad nito saka binuhay na ang kotse.

"For me, Sir Fract. Normal lang na ipagmayabang mo ang pinalaki mo. If I were you and If I build also my own coffee shop, then I would never waste the chance to boast it." ani niya bago niya inilahad muli ang tuwalya sa binata.

"Magpatuyo ka narin Sir Fract."

Naliwanagan lang siya roon. "Oh, yes. Thanks."

Nakaupo na siya katabi ang binata na abala sa pagmamaneho patungo sa malapit na branch ng pagmamay-ari nitong coffee shop. Mukhang tumila na rin ang ulan sa gitna ng biyahe nila, kaya nagpapasalamat sila kahit papano na hindi na 'yon magiging sagabal pa sa daan.

"Anyways, what's your name if it's okay to ask you?" basag sa katahimikan nito at kaagad naman siyang napalingon sa binata.

"I'm Aria Ledesma, nagtatrabaho ako sa mga Voltemaz bilang kasambahay. You know the one who manages that greatest of all the great company in this country yet I'm telling you, ang problema lang talaga doon ay ang Boss." napatawa niya naman ang binata sa sinabi niya.

"I see, you mean Tjardo Voltemaz? The new CEO of Voltemaz Corporation?" his brows raised.

"Yeah and I'm sorry if this was weird to share. He was the reason why I almost got sexualized by those guys and the reason why I am fully soaked in rain, it's because of him." parang sumbong na sabi niya sa binata.

"Oh? What a bastard, I never thought that he was like that. But I see, he's known and I can see him in any business magazine with so many positive feedback." ngiting-tugon nito sakanya.

"Alam ko ngunit hindi ko lang talaga maintindihan kung bakit marami parin ang nahuhumaling sa taong 'yan kahit napaka-sama ng ugali." lumapit siya ng bahagya sa binata para ibulong ang sasabihin niya.
