CAMERON'S POV
"Aalis lang ako once pipirmahan mo na ang contratang 'yan, Ms. Javier." Mariing saad ko habang nakatayo sa labas ng sasakyan niya.
Alam kong naririnig nya ko mula sa loob kahit nakasara pa ang bintana ng kotse nya. At mas lalong alam ko ring halos pumuputok na ngayon ang butsi nya sa inis dahil finally, nautakan ko rin sya.
Once pipirma na sya sa kontrata, wala na syang kawala sa'kin
I know she will try to get out from my blackmail kaya inihanda ko na ang contract papers before I came here.
Better be ready than sorry.
Well, let's see, Ms. Javier if makakawala ka pa sa'kin. Alam ko na ngayon if how you think and move. So you better watch out-----
I was suddenly pulled out from my thoughts nang biglang humarurot ng takbo ang sasakyan nya mula sa tabi ko.
Damn that woman!
Kahit ano pang gawin nya, she has no choice but to work for me.
That thought made me smirk.
Indeed.
I just shook my head habang nakatingin lang sa papalayo nyang sasakyan.
Nang 'di ko na tanaw ang sasakyan niya, naglakad na'ko papunta sa kotse ko.
May kailangan pa'kong dapat asikasuhin for tonight's event. A surprise show for Enriquez.
I smirked just thinking about his shocked face once na makikita na nya ang surpresa ko mamayang gabi. Thanks to that sender na nagtext sa'kin last Sunday. Kundi dahil sa kanya, maybe the company would be bankrupt before I knew it at 'di ko sana agad makikilala kung sino ang traydor sa kompanya ko...
At the thought of that, memories of what happened last Sunday suddenly came back at me....
Flashback
"Nailagay ko na ang camera sa office ko kaya ang kailangan nalang natin ngayon, maghintay and monitor the video."
I informed Liam na nakaupo lang sa gilid ng mesa ko. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa safe room na connected sa company office ko. No one knows this secret room except sa'kin and Liam. This is the perfect place para maghintay sa kung sinuman ang mangangahas na pumasok sa office ko. Soundproofed ang room na'to kaya hindi issue kung mag-iingay kami rito.
This is where I hid important and confidential document files and some....things for security purposes. It could be handy sometime for self defense. Lalo na't maraming gustong magpabagsak sa company ko and I would be dumb kung papayagan ko yong mangyari without giving a fight.
"Good. ---" then Liam checked the time on his wristwwatch.
"-Ten minutes before 7pm. Anong oras kaya sila papasok dito?"
I just sighed then looked at the screen of my laptop. Connected na ito sa cam ng office ko kaya kita ko na mula dito ang loob ng office ko.
"Maghintay lang tayo."
He just nodded.
I hope trusted ang sender na'yu--
I quickly looked up at Liam nang maalala ko ang tungkol sa sender na yun.
"Liam, nakausap mo na ba ang mga tauhan mo about dun sa pinapagawa ko sa'yo?"
Agad syang tumingin sakin na parang naguguluhan.
"Saan dun?"
"About sa sender."
"Oh.." saad niya then nodded while crossing his arms.
"Yes. Nakausap ko na sila pero sa ngayon, focus muna sila about sa first subject namin.."
Agad na napakunot ang noo ko nang marinig ko 'yun, confused with him.
"First subject?"
Rolling his eyes, he answered me,
"Ahuh. Sam Javier, your destiny remember??" then he chuckled.
I immediately groaned at the mention of that name and how this asshole describe her.
Destiny indeed!
Destined to kill me with frustrations!
Kung 'di ko lang talaga kaibigan ang gagong 'to, matagal ko na sana 'tong inupakan.
"Okay...kailan ko malalaman ang report nyo about her?"
"Oh?? Excited ka naman 'pre!.." then he laughed with amusement.
Fuck with this asshole!
Buti nalang 'di rinig mula sa labas ang tawa ng gagong 'to dahil kung hindi, I think nagsasayang lang kami ng oras dito.
I just tightly closed my eyes while groaning with so much frustrations then massage my temple.
"Liam...." I warned, causing him to stop.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." He said while raising his hands. trying to stop himself.
At nang mahimasmasan na ito, he cleared his throat saka nagsalita.
"Now, tungkol sa chiks na-"
He suddenly stopped nang makita niya kong nakatingin sa kanya with warning look.
"Ah.. I mean tungkol sa P.I na yun, nagsisimula na sila kanina to investigate her at hinihintay ko nalang ang tawag nila."
"Good." I said while nodding my head kahit gusto ko nang sapakin ang taong 'to.
Kelangan kong malaman ang tungkol sa babaeng 'yun. I know there's something mysterious about her and who knows, baka magagamit ko 'yun sa kanya para pumayag sya or maybe, 'pag magtatrabaho na sya sa'kin.
I need her weakness to control her at para maging loyal sya sa'kin.
"Cam??"
Agad akong tumingin kay Liam na lumapit sa pinto papunta sa office ko. He leaned his ears to the door.
"I think may naririnig ako mula sa labas."
Agad akong tumingin sa video footage na nasa harapan ko.
I narrowed my eyes when my office door slowly opened then an intruder came inside.
Holy Shit!
"Liam.." tawag ko sa kanya na agad naman itong lumapit sa'kin then looked at the screen.
His eyes widened nang makita nya ang nasa video.
"Dios Mio!"
Dios mio Indeed!
Of course, sinong mag-aakala na may papasok talaga sa office ko? No one dared to do that except lang sa mga kaaway ko.
And maybe, dahil ang alam nila 'di ako naglalagay ng security cam sa office ko, kaya sila nagkakalakas loob to sneak in my office without masking his damn face!
The intruder quickly moved close to my table saka ito hinalughog, checking the papers inside the cabinet. At nang wala itong makita doon, he quickly moved to my shelves.
Ah-ah. Wala ka ring makikita dyan... I'm not some stupid para magtago ng important files sa office ko.
"Kilala mo ba yan?" tanong ni Liam while trying to recognize the intruder's face. Medyo madilim but I know that face very well kaya 'di na kailangang kilalanin ko pa.
I smirked before I answered him.
"He's from the management department."
Tumango-tango lang sya with an 'Ooh' form in his mouth.
"So totoo nga ang tip na yun.."
Indeed.
And I have to find that sender..And maybe, asked that person to work for me.. 'di ko alam kung pa'no nya nalaman ang tungkol dito pero tiyak kong magaling syang kumalap ng informations.
"You have to find that sender, ASAP Liam."
"I know...." Saad niya while nodding.
"So anong gagawin mo sa taong yan?"
I leaned my back against the chair then smirked.
What to do? Hmm... ano nga bang magandang gawin sa mga traydor?
"I don't like that wicked look on your face right now, Cam.."
I just grinned at him saka nagpatuloy sa pag-iisip.
Ano nga bang dapat gawin sa mag taong 'to?
Of course! Dapat yung masaya..
Enriquez would be very pleased to know na hindi na naman umobra ang plano nya.
I tap my fingers on my jaw, deeply thinking about it.
"Cam,.. ba't 'di nalang natin puntahan ang gagong yan then have him arrested---"
"No. hayaan na muna natin ang taong yan. I have a plan."
Agad na kumunot ang noo nya when he heard me say that.
I just grinned at him saka napatawa na ng tuluyan nang makita ko ang facial expression niya.
"Tell me you won't do something na-"
"What Liam? Something like killing that bastard? Oh please, anong tingin mo sa'kin? A killer?"
Putol ko sa kanya now annoyed with him. I know I can be a bit harsh sometimes-well, maybe almost always, pero never ko pang nagawang pumatay ng tao.
Napansin ko syang umupo uli sa gilid ng mesa ko looking frustrated.
"I didn't mean about 'you killing some assholes', Cam. I know gagamitin mo 'to para kay Enriquez at tyak 'di nya 'to magugustuhan.."
Tumingin lang ako sa kanya with disbelief on my face..
Jesus! So kailangan ko pang isaalang-alang ang mararamdaman ng gagong 'yun?
how wonderful!
Yes. I understand his point. Alam kong nag-aalala lang ang gagong 'to kahit 'di dapat. Pero 'di naman pwedeng wala akong dapat gawin dito. Sila ang nauna, kaya ba't di ko nalang sila pagbibigyan?
Sighing, I answered him.
"The ECC will handle a fundraising event on Tuesday night and I'm planning to give him a surprise show for him."
I smirked and looked at the confused Liam with amusement in my eyes.
"Surprise show?"
I nodded then grinned at the thought of my exciting plan.
"You know, kailang----"
Agad na naputol ang iba ko pang sasabihin when his phone started ringing in his pocket. Agad nyang nireceive ang call na yun with urgency.
"Victor.." agad nyang saad.
My brow quickly raised at that, quite interested to know kung sino ang Victor na yun. I just observed him na tumango-tango lang habang nakikinig sa kabilang linya.
I hope ito na yung report regarding with Sam Javier dahil kailangan ko na ring magsimulang kumilos to make that darn woman work for me.
After a few minutes, he finally ended the call then agad na tumingin sa'kin.
"it's about Sam Javier..."
My ear pricked up at the mention of her name.
Good.
"What about her?"
"Samantha Romero, yan ang tunay nyang pangalan...After the accident 10 years ago na syang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng parents nya, apelyido na ng mother nya ang ginamit nya until now.."
My brows furrowed at that then looked at him with questioning looks.
"And why is that?" confused kong tanong sa kanya.
He shrugged, telling me na kahit sya 'di nya alam kung bakit.
"Continue, Liam."
He nodded.
"At base sa nakalap na informations ng mga tauhan ko, sinadya ang aksidenteng 'yun. At hanggang ngayon, 'di pa tukoy kung sinong may pakana nun.."
Mas lalo pang kumunot ang noo ko nang marining ko yun.
Someone tried to kill them? At ano naman kaya ang dahilan?
"Sinadya ang aksidenteng yun?? Wala ba silang lead kung sino ang posibleng may gawa nun?"
He shook his head.
Oh God.
"She was only fourteen at that time and bago raw sya nawalan ng malay nun, she saw a clue na syang magtuturo sana sa may pakana nun pero dahil medyo blurry ang memory ni Ms. Samantha, wala ring nagawa yun to solve the case."
That caught my interest.
"What clue?"
"A ring. A family heirloom ring."
tsk, tsk. How sad... Mahirap ngang hanapin ang clue na yun.
So now I know kung bakit ganun ang ugali nya. She was trying to hide herself behind that cold Sam Javier.
At sa ugaling meron sya, I know she won't just give up without getting the justice for her parents. Siguro nga natutulog lang ang case nya pero sa tingin ko, she'd been trying to dig the truth....secretly.
She's a P.I after all... and..
....I'm not living for this work. I'm only living for one reason, but not for that...
I suddenly stopped nang maalala ko ang mga sinabi nyang yun.
Tama.
At tingin ko ito yung dahilan na tinutukoy nya.
She's only living for that reason.
At yan yong paghahanap ng katotohanan sa likod ng aksidenteng 'yon ten years ago.
Agad akong tumingin kay liam to ask him.
"Alam ba nila kung anong pinagkakaabalahan nya ngayon? New case perhaps?"
He nodded then told me the info about her case..
Malay natin, magagamit ko pala 'to to blackmail her. And this time, I will make sure na oobra na'to
End of flashback..
At tama nga 'ko.
At pirma nalang nya ang kulang to seal our agreement.
Napangiti nalang ako at the thought of my effective blackmail.
I shook my head and was about to open the car door nang biglang tumunog ang phone ko sa bulsa ng pants ko. Agad kong sinagot yun nang makita ko kung sino ang caller.
"Liam.."
"Alam ko na ngayon kung kanino galing ang text na yun, Cam."
My brows almost overlapped with my forehead nang marinig ko 'yun.
"Sino?"
"Sam Javier. Yung destiny mo."
"What??"
'di ko na pinansin ang description nya. I was so surprised with that news para pansininko pa yun.
To hell with that!
So all this time, sya lang pala yung hinahanap namin? I thought 'di nya gustong ihandle ang case ko? And how come na alam nya na may papasok sa office ko that night?
Well... probably dahil magaling lang talaga sya. Kaya mo nga sya gustong magtrabaho sa'yo 'di ba?
Yeah, right.
Pero ba't naman nya ginawa yun? I need to be sure na sya nga ang taong yun. May koneksyon ba sila ng ECC?
Napansin kong may humintong sasakyan malapit sa'kin but i just ignored it and just focus on Liam's news. I have lots of questions in my mind to even mind that.
"Liam, are you sure na sa kanya ang number n----"
I suddenly stopped tsaka ibinaba ang phone ko when I saw her got out from her car then lumapit sakin.
oh.. sya pala yong dumating.
I wonder kung anong kailangan nya since sya na mismo ang lumapit sa'kin ngayon?
Well, mabuti na rin yun. Atleast 'di na ako yong humahabol sa kanya.
"I have some condition na gusto kong isali sa kontrata natin."
Agad na kumunot an noo ko when I heard her say that.
And what would that possibly be para balikan pa nya talaga?
Hmm..urgent?
"Condition? at ano namang condition yun, Ms. Javier?"
She crossed her arms saka sya sumagot.
"Make me as your date sa event na ihahandle ng ECC mamayang gabi..."
Date? At ba't naman kaya sya pupunta sa event na 'yun---
Oh, so she was indeed that sender? Walang duda. Iba nga talaga ang babaeng 'to. Ano pa kaya ang 'di alam ng babaeng 'to?
Pero ba't naman kaya nya gustong maging date ko?
Probably part of her case?
I guess so. She was the type na aattend lang sa ganung event for the sake of her cases. At tingin ko, kailangan nya lang ng kasama para makapasok sa event na'yun.
"And ba't mo naman naisip na pupunta ako sa event na yun?"
"All business-related people ay imbitado sa event na 'yun and you are one of those kaya I'm sure na kasali ka dun."
I think 'di ko na sya dapat tinanong kung bakit. Given her profession, of course alam na nya ang basic information about that event.
Pero ba't ko naman sya pagbibigyan? She's that sender so dapat alam na nya ang tungkol sa relationship ko with ECC.
And besides, I have plan to initiate in that party so I need no disturbance.
"Yes, you're right. Kasama nga 'ko sa mga invited. Pero pa'no ka naman nakakasiguradong aattend ako sa walang kwentang event na 'yun?"
She shook her head while clucking her tongue habang nakatingin sa'kin with disbelief in her eyes.
"Before signing the contract, dapat mong iconsider ang hinihingi kong kondisyon. 'Di naman siguro lahat nalang ng gusto mo ang masusunod dito, 'di ba?? You know that so well, Mr. del Fuero."
Damn with this wise woman! Of course, alam ko 'yun!
Hindi nga dapat maliitin ang babaeng 'to. And good thing na malapit ko na syang makuha, after she signed the contract, isa na sya mga ally ko.
I hope so..
Okay. Why not give in with her petty condition then? kelangan ko lang naman siguro syang samahan para makapasok sa event na 'yun and after that, kanya-kanya na kami.
After a few seconds of just thinking about her condition, I made up my mind. I let out a sigh, giving in kahit ayoko sana.
"Okay....."
Saad ko with voice low,na halos ako lang ang nakakarinig.
Ngayon lang 'to, pagbibigyan ko sya. But..in one condition para sulit ang pagpayag kong 'to.
After all, 'di ganun kadali ang pinapagawa nya sa'kin. And ngayon ko lang 'to gagawin.
Bringing a fucking date with me in a public event.
Shit!
She smirked when she heard me.
There's some more, Ms. Javier kaya wag ka munang magpakasaya.
"But-"
She frowned then furrowed her brows.
"But what??"
"I want you to sign the contract right away."
She just rolled her eyes at me nang marinig nya yun bago sya sumagot.
"Just give me time para tapusin ang case ko ngayon. I won't run kaya kumalma ka lang."
Good.
I smirked while nodding at her.
"Good. I'll pick---"
"Cam???!!! yuhooo??? sagot-sagot ka naman diyan 'pag may time!!!say hi naman Kay Ms. Javier for me.."
Fuck!
Hindi ko pala nababa ang call nya kanina. Bweset! I'm sure 'di na naman nya ko titigilan mamaya. I quickly ended his call while groaning then looked at her.
"Talk to you later---"
"Kita tayo sa entrance later tonight." Putol nya sa'kin saka dali-daling sumakay sa kotse nya then drove off.
Entrance? So kailangan ko syang hintayin sa entrance hanggang dumating sya?
Huh! I would be dumb if gagawin ko yun. There's no way I would do that!
At ano naman kaya ang isusuot nya mamaya? She's my date so she should wear the best gown na maisusuot nya.
But given na sya si Sam Javier, the stubborn as hell woman, tiyak mas pipiliin pa nung magsuot ng usual outfit nya na parang siga kesa magpaka cinderella.
And I don't want that...Ayokong mapahiya sa lahat ng nandun sa event na yun with her wearing her 'jacket-jeans-sneakers' outfit.
Shaking my head, I quickly dial my secretary's number to do some shopping for me para sa babaeng yun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on, Cam! You should wait for your destiny---"
Agad kong tiningnan si Liam with eyes ready to murder him causing him to quickly shut his mouth.
Kanina pa nya ko kinukulit tungkol sa babaeng yun. At hanggang dito sa party, 'di parin nya'ko tinitigilan. Forcing me to wait for that damn woman sa entrance.
No way! Ano sya ? Siniswerte?
And Jesus! 7:20 pm na pero wala parin sya?
And I hope na kung dadating man sya, suot nya yong pinadala kong damit na susuutin nya dito.
"Just shut your mouth, Liam! I'm trying to focus with my plan here!"
I whisper-yelled at him, not wanting to be heard ng ibang tao.
"Yeah, yeah. kung ayaw mo syang antayin sa entrance, ako nalang..." saad niya saka tumalikod while rolling his eyes.
Good.
Ayokong masira ang plano ko kaya mas mabuti ng wala akong kasamang asungot.
After our encounter kanina sa labas ng restaurant na yun, hindi na tumigil sa pang-aasar sa'kin si liam.
And to witness our 'date with my destiny", his words, sinamahan pa talaga nya ko sa event nato.
Goodness!
Mapapatay ko talaga ang taong yun ng 'di oras.
I looked around me, trying to find my great friend, Enriquez.
Mukhang wala pa ang gago since hindi ko sya nakita simula pa kanina pagdating ko.
Well, siguro naghahanda for my surprise later.
I smirked at that thought.
Kung ganun man, then I have to enjoy the drinks first.
Agad akong kumuha ng isang glass of champagne mula sa dumaan na waitress.
The young waitress smiled at me. Since hindi naman ito ngiting parang nang-aakit, I just slightly nodded at her. Then agad itong umalis papunta sa iba pang bisita.
Mula dito, tanaw ko si Liam na matiyagang naghihintay sa babaeng yun.
Huh! Tingin ko 'di na pupunta yun..
Shaking my head, I sipped my drink saka tumingin tingin sa paligid ko, observing the people. Who knows, kahit pala dito may inihanda na namang katarantaduhan ang Enriquez na yun. Mas mabuti nang handa.
Mahirap ng----
"Mr. del Fuero!"
I groaned when I heard that familiar voice sa likuran ko.
Fucking-perfect timing!
Agad akong lumingon sa kanya and found Gloria in her red sexy gown with a long slit sa gilid.
Alright. Nandito na naman ang isa sa mga asungot na sinasabi ko.
Gloria Mendez. Ang mistress ng bayan.
"I didn't know you would be here!"
Yes. And I know you would be here kaya nga ayoko sanang pumunta dito.
"Not now, Gloria." Reklamo ko agad sa kanya then sipped my drink.
She just rolled her eyes saka lumapit sa'kin sabay hawak sa braso ko.
Damn with this stupid woman!
I quickly take her hand off of my arm, feeling burnt with her touch.
Malay ko ba kung sinu-sino ng lalaki ang pinatulan ng babaeng 'to.
"Come on, Cameron.. I know wala ka na namang date ngayon so why not have me as your date instead?"
I glared at her then sipped my drink again.
Dream on, Gloria! Never 'yan mangyayari.
"May date na'ko."
She just crossed her arms while looking at me with raised eyebrow.
"At sino naman kaya yan? Imaginary date?"
Huh! Imaginary indeed. Tingnan natin kun-
I suddenly stopped nang mapansin ko si Liam na may kausap sa entrance way. I can't see her face pero the way how he talk animatedly at the woman, I think he was fan of that---- shit!
My eyes widened nang humarap ito.
Sam Javier?
So nandito na pala sya? I thought hindi na sya tutuloy na pumunta dito?
I looked at her black off-shoulder mermaid dress.
at buti naman isinuot nya ang damit na yan.
So tama pala ang size na napili ko? Hanggang sahig ang haba ng gown na yun kaya 'di kita ang heels na pinadala ko kasama ng damit na yun.
Halatang sanay na sanay na sya sa heels ngayon...
My brow quirked up nang makita ko syang ngumiti kay Liam habang naglalakad papunta sa direksyon namin.
Oh, I thought 'di sya marunong ngumiti? So liam is an exemption?
I shook my head then sipped my drink.
"Cameron? Nakikinig ka ba sa'kin?" I looked at Gloria while scowling. Annoyed with her disturbing his thoughts.
"You can leave now, Gloria. Nandito na ang date ko tonight..."
She just rolled her eyes, not believing my words.
"Di mo'ko maluluko, Cameron. I know nagpapakipot ka lang pa---"
"Cam! Here's your date... The gorgeous, Samantha!"
That made her shut her mouth saka agad na tumingin sa may-ari ng boses na yun with wide eyes.
I just smirked habang nakatingin sa kanya with shock on her face.
And I told you so..,.
"Liam, just Sam please."
Agad na tumaas ang kilay ko nang marinig ko 'yun.
So first name basis na ang tawagan nila ngayon?
Liam just grinned at her while nodding.
"At sino naman ang babaeng 'to?" Agad na tanong ni Gloria nang mahimasmasan ito.
Alam nyang 'di ako nagsasama ng kadate every time na dadalo ako sa ganitong okasyon.
I don't need a woman in my life and hassle lang sila sa buhay ko.
Like this woman in black dress sa harapan ko na walang ibang dinudulot sa'kin kundi sakit ng ulo.
Sa tigas ba naman ng ulo nito.
"His date." Mariing sagot nya.
"Date? Tsh! Come on, di naman nagsasama ng date si Cameron so how come na--"
"Noon yun, Ms.---oh bother!"
Alright.
Now you have met your match, Gloria dear.
Nakatingin lang kami sa kanila, amused, wanting to witness their exciting spat. Halos umuusok na ngayon ang ilong ni Gloria dahil sa inis.
Not used being ignored.
"You-you---"
"Bitch?"
Gloria's face now all red.
Hmm..I think kailangan na naming tapusin ang match na'to kahit na exciting sana kung 'di lang sa mga ilang taong nakiusyuso sa mainit na bangayan ng dalawa.
I looked at Gloria with warning in my eyes. Causing her to shut her mouth na sasagot pa sana.
"Gloria, leave now."
She scowled then glared at Sam. Grumbling under her breath.
"Di pa tayo tapos babae ka!" Galit na saad nito saka aalis na sana but was stopped when the tigress Sam choose to open her claws.
Venomous claws.
"Di na rin naman tayo magkikita so mas better kung magmove on ka nalang...." Then she smiled. Her famous sarcastic smile.
Gloria now looking like she will explode anytime habang nakatingin sa tigre with hateful glares.
"I-I swear---
"Don't swear, ayokong makipag pinky swear sa'yo."
Liam suddenly snorted, ready to burst out into laughter, causing Gloria to look at him with hateful eyes.
I just shook my head.
God. 'Di ko alam na hindi lang pala ako ang pwedeng mabaliw sa babaeng 'to.
Poor Gloria..
She growled, handa ng magwala but given na madaming taong nakatingin, she chose to stop herself.
She glared to the tigress.
"di pa tayo tapos!" she hissed. Then agad na umalis while stomping her feet and cursing the hell out of Samantha.
I just shook my head at that. Di talaga dapat maglapit ang dalawang 'to para walang gulo. And I'm pretty sure na si Gloria lang ang kawawa once papatulan pa nya ang babaeng 'to.
"Bye, Gloria..." Liam sarcastically said then waved at the retreating woman while grinning.
"Jusko! Di ko akalaing lapitin ka pala ng mga asong ulol. Tsk, tsk..."
Tumingin agad ako sa kanya with furrowed brows.
Ako bang tinutukoy na babaeng 'to?
"Yes, Cam. Ikaw yong tinutukoy nya.."
Sambat naman ng gagong Liam. Reading my thoughts just looking at my face,.
I glared at him.
"Shut up, liam."
I muttered under my breath, now ready to murder him.
He quickly raised his hands up.
"Sinagot ko lang ang tanong na nasa isip mo." Then he grinned.
I groaned then massage my temple.
Gusto ko na talagang patayin ang taong 'to.
I take a deep breath to control myself before ko pa masuntok ang taong 'to.
Ba't ko pa ba naging kaibigan ang taong 'to?
"Mr. del Fuero. Liam. Aalis muna ako. I have something important na gagawin."
Agad akong napatingin sa kanya when she said that.
Aalis?
Hindi sya nakatingin sa akin kundi sa ibang direksyon. Kaya agad kong sinundan ang tingin nya then found the Chief Adminstrative Officer ng ECC.
I frowned then looked at her again.
So ang taong 'yun ang subject nya tonight?
Hmm, marami na ngang kaso ang lalaking 'to pero laging nakakawala sa batas.
Ngayon kaya? Magagawa kaya ni Ms. Javier na ipakulong ang taong 'yun?
"Okay, Sam! No problem." Saad ni Liam.
Tumango lang ako sa kanya bilang sagot ko. After all nandito lang naman sya dahil sa case nya.
She nodded then agad na umalis. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya habang papalayo. Napansin ko syang halos tumatakbo na sa pagmamadali papuntang exit.
Buti naman magaling na syang magdala ng heels ngayon. Kasi last time na nakita ko sya with her heels, mukhang hirap na hirap syang dalhin yon and now---
My eyes widended when she lifted her dress and found the reason kung bakit madali lang sa kanyang tumakbo.
WHAT THE HELL!!
A shoes????!
She's wearing a fucking converse shoes????!!!!!!
