“Am I that ruthless in your eyes? Tss. I didn't know, okay? I just knew that he's one of your grandfather's men after I fired him.”“Aah, bakit mo kasi tinanggal? Sana hinayaan mo na lang. We can just pretend inside the company when he's around. Mas madali pa iyon kaysa sa araw-araw tayong bantayan ni lolo.”“I don't like being watched. And if I didn't fire him, you think you're still as free as now? You led that Weston in my building, you think what happened earlier will not reach your grandfather?”Napaisip ako. He's right. Kung nanatili pa ng isang araw ang tauhan ni lolo ro'n, baka nalaman na ng lahat ang tungkol sa kasal namin.“You don't like being watched, then why didn't you close your eyes?” I rolled my eyes.May point siya, but I won't let him think that I am agreeing to everything he's saying!“Mind your tone, woman.”“If

“West…” I let out a sigh. “Didn’t I tell you to let me handle my own problem? Why… Why did you come? Dadagdag ka ba sa mga stressors ko?” Narito kami sa likod ng El Real. Axel knows that reporters are still waiting at the entrance, so he let West to walk through his secret passageway although they had their fight. He just doesn’t want to let this little fight they had to cause a bigger problem to the three of us.“I’m sorry, I acted recklessly. It was not my intention to have a fight with him. I just… I just wanted to have a deal with him, that’s all.”“Deal? What kind of deal?”Ano na namang pustahan mayro’n ang dalawang ito at umabot pa sa suntukan?“Nothing. Anyway, I’ll be gone for the meantime. Just in case that Morelli treats you unfairly, call me.”“And? What will you do? Makikipagsuntukan

“Ikaw ang bagong sekretarya ni sir, hindi ba?”Dumagdag ako sa mga empleyadong naghihintay ng sunod na elevator.“Yes. Nice to meet you, guys. I'm Shanelle.”“Hindi ka ba aware na ayaw ni sir ng may kasabay sa elevator? 'Te, paano mo nakayanang makasabay siya?”I gained all my courage to do that, mare.“Ah, haha. Hindi ko alam na ayaw niya ng may kasabay. Walang nagsabi sa akin. Hindi kasi ako inorient ng dating sekretarya niya,” pagdadahilan ko.“There are a lot of things you must know as his secretary, sis. Unang-una na ang pagsakay sa elevator. Ayaw niya sa crowded place. Nang minsang sumabay ang tatlong empleyado sa kanya nang hindi sinasadya, ayun, tanggal sa trabaho.”“He's too much, huh? Hindi na n

“Good morning, sir!” agad kong bati kay Axel nang makita ko siyang pababa sa hagdan. He looked at me suspiciously. Inayos niya ang necktie niya saka tumingin sa relo niya. Tumingin siya sa akin na parang may naalala. He walked towards me. Nagulat ako nang iangat niya ang kamay niya like he’s going to hit me, so I screamed my lungs out and covered my head and face.“No! Please, don’t hit me! I’m wrong, I know! Sorry! Sorry na.” Naramdaman ko ang paghawak niya sa hood ng suot kong hoodie. Hinila niya ito pataas.“Hindi na nga mauulit.”“Who’s going to hit you?”“You.”“Tss. What are you wearing? Can you be more formal?”Tiningnan ko ang suot ko. Okay naman ah. Presentable kaya siya.“What’s wrong with it? I’m more comfortable with my clothes.”

Nagising ako dahil sa katok na narinig ko mula sa pinto ko.Tumingin ako sa alarm clock ko. It's already 6 o'clock in the evening. Nakaidlip pala ako dahil siguro sa pagod."Open the door." It's Axel.Naalala ko ang ginawa ko sa sasakyan niya. Maniningil ba siya?"Pwede ba? Bukas ka na lang manermon? I'm not in the mood!" Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagtulog ko.Nilakasan niya ang pagkatok."Go away!"Mayamaya ay tumigil na siya sa pagkatok.Psh. Titigil ka rin naman pala, bakit kailangan mo pang mambulabog ng iba?"Get up or I'll throw you out?"Napabalikwas ako sa narinig ko."Y-You—! What are you doing here in my room?! How did you even get in?!"Nakasuot na siya ng pambah

"Quit staring.""Hindi kasi ako makapaniwala na ikaw 'yong batang kalaro ko noon. Paano mo ako nakilala? I'm around five years old at that time, and the people keep saying that I changed too much. Ni hindi nga raw nila ako mamukhaan. So, how...?"Bagong lipat lang sila noon sa subdivision namin nang makilala ko siya. Ang loner niya, lagi siyang nakatambay sa balkon ng kwarto niya sa tuwing nagbibisikleta ako kaya naman nang minsan siyang lumabas ng bahay nila ay sinundan at kinulit ko siya. Doon nagsimula ang friendship namin. Tatlong linggo matapos ang paglilipat nila, we migrated to Canada due to some financial problem. That was the end of our communication."I saw the birthmark on your wrist," he simply said then take a sip on his coffee."How could you be so sure na ako lang ang mayro'n nito?"
