Napahilot sa sentido si Kraius habang nagbabasa ng mga papeles. Mahigpit ang pagkakahawak ng isa niyang kamay sa mga papel na halos mapunit na iyon. Nang hindi matiis, pabagsak niya iyong itinapon sa mesang kahoy na nasa kaniyang harapan.
“Shit!” malakas na mura niya na halos dumagundong sa nakasaradong opisina.
Agad na pumasok ang sekretarya niya at tiningnan siya nang pailalim gamit ang makapal na salamin sa mata. “Anything you want, Mr. Montreal?”
Kraius looked at his secretary unbelievably and shook his head after. Pagkatapos, pinulot niya ang mga papeles na itinapon sa mesa at binasa iyong muli.
“Fuck!” he cursed again.
“Are you sure you don’t need anything, Mr. Montreal—”
“Coffee, please! Dark coffee!”
Tumango kaagad ang sekretarya at magalang na umalis.
He was spacing out when his iPhone vibrated. Tawag iyon mula kay Judge Aguirre. He instantly picked the apparatus and answered it as he leaned his back on his swivel chair and moved it slowly.
“Good morning, Mr. Aguirre!” masayang bati niya, taliwas sa totoong nararamdaman.
“This is about your proposal, Attorney Montreal. I must say. . . it’s a deal,” deretsong wika nito sa kabilang linya.
Kraius’ lips instantly formed a devious smile. He closed his eyes as he listened to Judge Aguirre’s term. Binanggit din nito ang pinakaimportanteng asset niya kung bakit ito napapayag. Si Apple Santibańez, ang kabit nito.
“Great! This is a deal, Judge. I will immediately send the papers to this agreement,” wika niya.
“Keep your words, Kraius. And I will keep mine,” sagot nito.
“Count on me, Judge.”
Hindi malaman ni Kraius kung ano ang dapat na maramdaman nang matapos ang tawag mula sa judge. Sure, he was happy, but a part of him was also fuming mad. Reading those papers that he was holding a while ago made him a mad man. Pakiramdam niya’y kaya niyang sirain ang lahat.
“Here’s your coffee, Mr. Montreal.” His thoughts got interrupted when his secretary put the mug of coffee on the table. His eyes instantly looked at his not so nerdy secretary and found her looking at him with disbelief.
“Got a problem?” His forehead creased. His secretary was always weird.
She answered him by shaking her head and got out.
Sinundan ito ni Kraius ng tingin. Ngunit, nagulat siya sa nakita. Standing in the entrance of his office was the woman who kept on bugging his mind.
Ano ang ginagawa nito roon?
Rhezi was wearing classy corporate attire with her three-inch Christian Louboutin corporate leather pumps. Her hair was tied at the back of her head. It swayed as she walked closely to him. He was stunned by her sudden appearance. Meanwhile, just like the first time he heard the sound her heels, it was like music in his ears.
“What did you do?” Rhezi asked instantly, placing her hands on the table between them.
Stunning in her red lipstick, she glared at him, and he found himself lingering on her lips as she mumbled words he couldn’t understand. His gaze traveled from her almond-shaped eyes to her pointed nose. The chubby cheeks were gone; now, she looked like a goddess personified.
“What?!” Rhezi shrieked, her expression deadly.
He blinked a few times to awaken his senses. He got mesmerized by the sight in front of him that he didn’t even realize that his mouth fell open. He shook his head harshly to shrug the obvious and scolded himself for being weak. Parang noong isang araw lang ay sinabi pa niyang maghihiganti siya rito!
