Chapter 5

Neighbors:

"About Han Sung Min's case two years ago, I will reopened it under my circumstances."

I just stared at him, bewildered. I know he's a great lawyer, and I believe he can't let his client lose.

"I'm a lawyer, and I'll utilize my contacts to bring him to justice."

I sense a powerful energy around him, as if he wants to kill Mr. Han, and Mr. Forsythe has informed me that he is brutal when it comes to the law. That is why he was dubbed "King of the Law."

"Was he threatening you?"

"Unfortunately, every single day." I said.

"He truly wants to destroy you, huh? Only you? Not your employees?" he inquired once again.

"My employees are also included. They are scared as hell."

I saw him stuffing papers into his briefcase. Our mission appears to have been completed. We both stood up at the same time, and he extended his hands once more.

"It's pleasure to meet you, I'll look forward to work with you."

I shake his hands gently.

"Same here Mr. Lozano. I'll look forward to work with you too." I said while a slightly smile.

Before he steps out, may inabot siya sa akin.

"Here's my business card. Please contact me if you have any questions. See you later."

Tumalikod na siya then he closed the door. Tinawag ko ang sekretarya ko sa labas and I need to know something.

"Miss Caelum?"

"What do you know about Mr. Lozano? You didn't even inform me that he was my new lawyer." I said habang pumipirma ako sa papeles.

"M-my apologies, Miss."

"If you do this again, say goodbye to your work." seryosong sabi ko at masama ako tumingin sa kanya.

Tumango lang siya saka lumabas. I've been reviewing my papers because five months from now we're going to introduce our most advantage plane and the new elite pilots.

Seven minutes past my secretary arrived. Binigay niya sa 'kin ang manipis na folder.

"You can leave."

Tumango ulit siya at lumabas. Tinapos ko muna 'yung mga papeles bago ko basahin ang nasa folder. I will do a background check on him.

I'm done signing the papers, inayos ko muna dahil nakakalat sa glass table ko before ko ilagay sa drawer.

I didn't notice na ginabi na ako. Napatingin ulit ako sa folder, so I guess babasahin ko na lang pag-uwi ko. I started to clean my office before I go.

I'm finished kaya kinuha ko na ang bag ko at lumabas. Kaunti na lang ang tao dito kaya sumakay ako sa elevator. Going to first floor.

Pag bukas ng elevator nakita ko si Kuya Guard na nakatingin sa labas.

"Oh, Kuya you're still here?" nagulat siya sa akin tapos nginitian niya ako.

"Miss Caelum? Duty ko pa ho." napakamot siya sa ulo niya.

"Stop spacing out baka mapaano ka." natatawang sabi ko.

Nag paalam na ko sa kanya gusto ko na umuwi at mag pahinga. Nakasakay na agad ako at pinaharurot ko ang kotse ko. Nag suot ako ng ear piece at tinawagan ko si Dad.

"Where are you? It's past eleven."

"I'm not going home, Dad. I'm on way to my Penthouse. What about Rigel?"

"He left fifteen minutes ago."

So Miahri left out?

"Okay, gotta go, see you."

"Take care, bye."

He ended the call kaya binilisan ko agad ang pagmamaneho. I was in the underground parking garage, next to a motorcycle.

He took a look at my car. He can't see me because my car is heavily tinted. He was the same, and his helmet was heavily tinted as well.

He is dressed in a coat, and his white sleeves are unbuttoned to his neckline.

He looks hot. Even though I can't see his face.

I ignored the thought at lumabas na ko ng sasakyan.

"Nice car."

Damn it.

Hindi ko na kailangan lumingon dahil alam ko na kung kaninong boses yon. Hindi ko siya pinansin at sumakay agad ako sa elevator ng walang imik. Unluckily, she kept pestering me.

"Come on, Mirus. Talk to me!"

"I don't have a time to talk to you, Rose."

She's my neighbor and I don't like her attitude. So annoying, acting like my friend hell I can punch her straight to her face. Naririndi ako sa boses niya, every time I see her face, damn my mood is already ruined.

I have reached my floor then this Rose is very talkative kaya nauna na ko nag lakad palayo sa kanya.

"Shut up, will you?"

Nanlaki ang mata niya at nauna na siyang pumasok sa kwarto niya. Nakita ko ang lalaki sa hallway na may dalang helmet.

Small world, huh?

That man is Leon. Inayos niya ang magulo niyang buhok at pinapaikot niya ang susi sa daliri niya. He looked at me with a bit of shock.

Well, siya pala ang katabi ko.

"Do you lived here?" tanong niya habang pumipindot siya sa digital door lock.

"I have lived here since the Orion Castle building was build." sagot ko sa kanya.

Why can't I see him even though I'm right next to him? Or perhaps I'm just too busy.

"I forgot to mention that my father was planning a formal signing ceremony for my law firm and your airlines. The ceremony will take place at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night, obviously."

I'm shocked. Why sudden rush? Ang bilis naman? I think this is not the right time to be held. Madaming oras paghandaan ang ganitong klaseng ceremony.

"What's the sudden rush?"

"My father said we'll do it as soon as possible."

How?

"May sasabihin ka pa?" tanong niya ulit.

The way he talks and looks as if he's about to kill me if I don't respond right away.

"Nothing." I slowly shake my head.

"Then, good night, Miss Caelum."

"You too, Mr. Lozano."

He looks at me again, shaking his head, and walks inside to his house... I'm still shocked. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at naligo na lang ako.
