Chasing Argo Greensmith (English) Chapter 41
PictureI took an early bus to Batangas. My training starts on Monday, and I have one day to prepare for work.The apartment I'll be staying in is just a block away from the restaurant Andra owns. Rent, water, and electricity are covered by their company, but food isn't included. I think she specifically exempted me from the bills because she knows I can't afford to pay.I sighed as I stopped in front of the closed apartment door. I looked at both corridors, which were sparsely populated and seemed indifferent to whoever the newcomer was.Besides, it's not like the building I left where everyone would crane their necks to be nosy when there was a new arrival.Shaking my head, I opened the door and went inside. The apartment is small, just right for one person. There's a small living room that fits a sofa set and a TV stand, and a dining area on the other side. On the left is the kitchen, just big enough to move around. There's a small refrigerator there. Beside it is the bathroom, and

First Day I was at the restaurant early. I went straight to the office for a quick interview. "Natalia Punongbayan, 23 years old. Single and business management undergraduate." My lips tightened as the restaurant manager read my bio. My hands were clasped tightly in my lap because of my extreme nervousness. She glanced at me and slightly lowered her reading glasses. "Yes, Ms. Punzalan." I finally took courage to answer. "Your only experience is working at a food stall? There's nothing else written here?" My lips twitched. I saw her raise an eyebrow at me. "Yes, ma'am." "Hmm... Okay, since the owner herself recommended you, even though you don't qualify for the job, I'll take you in. Three days of training, with allowance you'll receive daily. Then you can start as a regular employee." My eyes widened at her words. "Thank you so much, ma'am!" "I don't want you to be lazy at work, and avoid gossiping during work hours." She raised her eyebrow at me again. "Yes, m

We both turned to the manager, Ms. Punzalan, who was squinting at us. "Ah, nothing, ma'am. Natalia's just waiting for Mr. Falcon's order!" Shiela quickly handed me the order I was waiting for. I immediately went to Mr. Falcon's table. "Here's your order, sir. Enjoy your food." I left a smile for him before turning away. I was busy with other customers, I didn't want to get scolded by our manager on my first day of work, so even though I wanted to assist Mr. Falcon when he stood up, I couldn't because of the workload. "Natalia..." I turned to Shiela as I handed the cashier the payment from some customers. "Mr. Falcon gave you a tip. He said to give it to you," she said, her smile almost reaching her ears. I approached her with a furrowed brow. But my eyes widened at the tip she gave me. Shiela handed me a thousand pesos. "I told you, he's a big tipper." She winked at me before going back to work. I looked for the older man, but I think he had already left the resta

The Encounter My work was busy in the following days. However, we were always swamped with customers, especially when there were events at the hotel where the restaurant was located. Most of the guests would end up here, especially when there were gatherings or tourists arriving at the hotel. Like today, there was a wedding in the conference room, and the wedding was scheduled for tomorrow, so the guests were here today. I could barely feel my feet because they were numb from standing for so long. It would be good if I was wearing flats, but I had to wear heels that were a bit high to look more presentable and decent. The male waiters were the ones carrying trays when they had a lot of items, so I had no problem with that. "Ugh, this day is tiring, imagine it's only noon but my beauty is already gone!" Shiela complained as she sat next to me at the back. It was break time, so I took advantage of the food and the sitting time because I knew there would be a rush of guests l

"You're the topic on the other shift. They say you're stealing the old man from the other waitresses so you can get the big tips." I shook my head and smiled at her before closing my locker. "Mr. Falcon seems nice, he even invited me for coffee today." Her eyes widened at me, she also covered her mouth. "Don't make it sound like that, I just see him like a father figure." "Oh, come on! I've heard that before. Don't get me started!" She poked my side, making me furrow my brow. "You're crazy, your mind is dirty!" "Just keep me updated, okay?" I didn't bother to respond to her and left the establishment. I found Mr. Falcon talking to some of his bodyguards in the parking lot. He immediately turned to me when one of them whispered to him. I smiled at him and walked towards him. "Let's go?" One of the bodyguards opened the door of his car. Although I was embarrassed, I bowed my head and got in. The old man went around to the other side of the car and sat next to me. My heart r

Restaurant I was excited to go to work the next day because I knew I would be busy all day because of the wedding that would be held at the YF Building. Actually, the caterers were the ones in charge of the gathering, but because the wedding was so crowded, even though we were supposed to accommodate only 200 people, it seemed like it increased by 50 because of the number of guests who arrived. This building is also known to be popular, they want to experience the royal beauty of the entire hotel. "Did you see Mr. Falcon go down to the lobby?" I asked Shiela when I went to the restaurant at noon. "I didn't notice. But I think not, I'm sure our colleagues will look for you to serve there," she said. I nodded at her and was lost in deep thought. Was he okay? Our separation last night was good, right? I couldn't help but ask myself. "You, you seem to be getting close to Mr. Falcon." She teased me. I flinched at her and rolled my eyes before leaving the restaurant. I knew sh

I almost collapsed onto the soft bed when I got inside my room, I was too tired to even change clothes. Then, my cell phone rang. I quickly pulled it out of my bag and answered the call. "Natalia, how are you?" Andra's sweet voice greeted me. "I'm fine, I just got home from work," I replied. "I heard there was an event there earlier, and I also heard that you did a great job." My cheeks immediately flushed red. I didn't expect that news to reach her. "It wasn't that great, I just got a few good tips. You know, I used my charm on the customers!" I bragged. "Good to hear that, anyways it's getting late. I just wanted to check on you. Our business partner is coming a bit early tomorrow, we're scheduled to go there tomorrow." I immediately got up, a wide smile on my face. "Really, I'm excited to see you!" I noticed she paused for a moment before answering. "I requested Ms. Punzala to take care of us tomorrow. We plan to stay at the hotel for about a week because we're opening a

Betrayal Instead of returning to the counter and continuing work, I went straight to the comfort room. I entered the last cubicle and sat down, holding her head. "Damn it, Natalia. Why didn't you think that Argo was the business partner Andra was talking about? Was it just a coincidence that she brought me here? Or maybe she knew we were already separated?" She was confused and couldn't think straight. Should she go back there, or would it be better to just go home? She let out a sigh before finally getting up. "Why do I have to hide and run from him? It's all over between us and I have nothing to hide anymore. So if I see him and Andra, I shouldn't be affected anymore." But why did her heart ache when she saw them together earlier? She could feel her heart being torn apart and butchered many times. She blinked as she noticed a tear rolling down her cheek. She didn't expect the scene earlier to have such a big impact on her. "I know Andra since college days. It's unlik

Special Chapter Love After the wedding, we went straight to the resort to greet the guests who attended the gathering. Tonight's party was also simple. Almost only select guests attended the reception. Almost everyone was happy with the way the ceremony went, especially daddy and mother who seemed to be having trouble talking to Argo's mommy. "Congratulations to our newlyweds!" Christof pronounced loudly while holding the champagne bottle in his hand. Argo approached him and hugged him before patting him on the shoulder. He looked at Paul and George who hugged him too. "Thanks for coming, I thought you wouldn't be able to make it." "Still us? We know you've been planning this for a long time." Christof shifted his eyes on me and gave a wink. So, it's true that this marriage was planned and not just Argo's sudden thought. I will definitely give him a sermon later. "Congratulations, Natalia." I looked up at Paul who was smiling widely at me. I did the same before spe

Aisle I couldn't hold back my tears while riding in the car. Mother always caressing my back non-stop. "Don't worry hija. Everything will be fine." But nothing is running through my mind right now but the possible consequences of Argo. Mother said she had an accident on her way to Calatagan. So I drove the car straight to the nearest hospital because it was said that Argo was probably brought here. But we passed several hospitals and the car still didn't stop. I didn't pay attention to that thing because my mind was still confused by what was happening. But after we got out of Calatagan, the car still didn't stop at the hospital. "Where are we going?" I couldn't stop asking Mother. But he just stroked my back and nodded to me. I let out a sigh. My heart beat harder. What's going on? I don't understand. Where was Argo taken? We were already in Nasugbu when I noticed we were heading to one of the resorts there. I looked at Mother with a look of surprise on her

Tragic NewsI had already prepared to go to Nasugbu to visit Dad's hotel there. He said that I will take care of managing there from now on. He has also notified all the hotel staff and managers so it will not be difficult for me to introduce myself. After half an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Right there, I saw the staff lined up as if they were waiting for my arrival. Rosario who will be my personal assistant and Shiela who will be my secretary are also there. I took a deep breath before going down after one of my security guards opened me up. Daddy requested that I be given security because of Andra's surveillance of me and what happened in the past weeks. Also, the child I'm carrying is already walking for three months, so I'm very careful with my actions. Even if Mother wanted to stop me and just stay at the Villa, I didn't agree. I want to help Daddy and reduce his work load as much as possible because I was a witness to the hours he allocated for jo

RealIt was noon when the yacht we were on docked at the Island. My smile became wide because we were greeted by some uniformed men. Some of us even tied flowers around our necks that must have been made by them. "Welcome to Isla Verde!" They welcomed us warmly. As before, there are not that many people here but there are a few people who are building small businesses here for tourists who want to go for a walk. In fact, even without electricity at night, that adds to the attraction of tourists who want to camp here. We went straight to a bungalow type where the locals had already prepared food for our arrival. The Mayor and several Councilors who met us earlier were also there. "It's good that you thought of investing in our Island. The truth is that we are having a hard time promoting the Island due to the lack of electricity supply," said the Mayor to Argo as we started eating. "I've been wanting to build a restaurant here for a long time because I think the Island has great

Isla VerdeI woke up to sunlight hitting my cheeks. At the same time, the cold wind blowing the white curtain. I hugged the pillow tightly and enjoyed the cool breeze. "Good morning, L'amour?"I opened my eyes quickly and quickly got up when I heard Argo's low voice speak. "Why are you still here?!"I didn't hesitate to lower the comporter from my body and get off the bed. I immediately looked for my clothes but I couldn't find them. "Are you looking for this?"I looked up at Argo who was holding my white loose shirt in one hand. Because of so much shock and shame, I almost jumped on the bed to grab the clothes from it. "Give me that!" Instead of giving it, I heard his crisp laugh after pulling my hips to replace his. Sticky shit, Natalia. You're completely naked. Like me, it still can't get dressed so I can freely observe and touch her hard chest. "God, you're so beautiful," he whispered. He caught my gaze and slowly traveled over the entirety of my face. His fingers caressed

My eyes were still wide open as I felt the person next to me. My heart was pounding nervously. When I noticed it moving, I quickly turned to lie down and turned away from it. I bit my nail hard and prayed that it would be a good night's sleep. But I was startled when I felt his hand touch my thigh and his face pressed into my back. Sticky shit, Natalia. . . What should I do now? Should I move? If I push him? Maybe wake up? In the end I couldn't do anything but let him do what he was doing. Maybe it's really sleeping. But my body almost went cold when I felt his hand on my thigh move. He pulled me close to him and his hand is slowly caressing up to my tummy. I bit my lips harder when he snuggled up behind me and buried his face in the nape of my neck as he continued to gently caress my stomach. "My child. . ." I softened when I heard his soft whisper. He followed with small kisses on my neck and shoulders. I closed my eyes tightly. I want to resist his warm kisses and

Sweet Fire Kiss As the night deepened, the events of the evening became more manageable for me. I felt a sense of ease while greeting guests and interacting with them. Andra and Florisse didn't cross my path again, and I noticed that the Greensmiths and the Villarosas had left early. Since I couldn't stay up too late, I tried to excuse myself to Dad and Mom. I also stopped by Shiela and Rosario's table. "We're fine here. There are plenty of boylets around," Rosario said, taking a large gulp of wine from her glass. "You're going to get drunk," Shiela chided her. "The guest room is ready for you both," I told them. "I wish I could take a leave from work, but Ms. Andra would probably scold me," Rosario said, pointing toward Andra and Florisse's table, where they were engaged in conversation with some politicians and businessmen. "If you want, you can be my secretary. I'll double your salary, or even triple it!" Her face lit up at my offer, and she nodded enthusiastically.

He stroked my cheek, which I knew was flushed with embarrassment. The kiss we shared in the elevator suddenly popped into my mind. Marco is a nice guy, I think there's nothing wrong with staying friends with him after this incident. "Are you sure you're okay now?" "Hmm. . . I guess I'm just not used to this kind of occasion, so I'm a little dizzy," I said after taking a few bites and putting down my cutlery. "You'll get used to it. Don't force yourself. Look at them, you don't have to keep up with them." I smiled at him again, then looked around. Almost everyone was busy with their own conversations. I even saw Dad and Mom talking to some of their business associates, but the Greensmiths were no longer there. "I have to keep up with them, Marco. Because I'm not the woman I was yesterday. I am now Natalia Punongbayan-Falcon. I'm no longer the weak woman they used to trample on." "That's the spirit, but you don't have to rush things, remember that you are now a Falcon. Every move

"Let us talk. . ." He took the lead, walking out of the ballroom, and I followed him with my gaze. I tried to take a step, but I heard Mom's voice. "Natalia, are you okay? Maybe you should rest in your room for a while?" She stopped me by the arm. "I'm okay, Mom." "What's happening might be bad for you and the baby?" I let out a sigh before turning to her. "Mom, I'm okay. I'll just talk to Argo for a bit." She didn't seem convinced by what I said, so I just smiled at her widely. I didn't stop myself anymore as I followed Argo out of the mansion. Outside, there were even more people and guests, who caught my attention. The orchestra was also making noise that night, despite the whispers. I just shrugged them off, focusing my attention on Argo, who was definitely heading towards the guava and mango trees. I confidently stepped into the dark part of the yard. I found him leaning against the wide mango tree. From here, only a little light reached us, and no one would notice us
