chapter 3 He didn't recognize me

Chapter 3

She was so engrossed kanina pa kasi siya nagkaka typing error her brain doesn't function well today, she was still occupied by his thoughts.

Kahit lumabas na ang amo niya ay hindi na niya masyadong pinansin his son already arrived and anytime soon ay makikilala niya na ito ng personal.

And everyone in the executive building needs it in the conference room now and she hates it dahil paniguradong makikita niya doon si Randell at si Celine.

But she has no choice hindi pwedeng hindi siya magpunta dumiretso muna siya sa rest room to check herself she wanted to open some of the buttons in her clothes dahil nakasagad ito sa leeg niya but she can't because of a deep hickey na nasa collar bone niya and it was so obvious kung gagawin niya.

And she remembers the handsome man's face again looking at her while licking her..

'.. sh*t!Ano bang nangyayari sakin?!'

Naiinis niyang siya sa sarili at nagmamadaling lumabas ng restroom.

And when she entered the conference room ay medyo puno na iyon, at nasa dulo siya she was planning on going the opposite side but something hurtful in the eyes caught her attention at malas pa dahil malapit ang mga ito sa kinatatayuan ni Mr. Voclain.

At ayaw niyang mapalapit sa mga ito Celine was standing beside Randell, Celine was talking to Randell at panay ang pa cute nito at lalo siyang naiinis when someone poked her at napalingon siya sa tabi niya.

It was Eddie este Edna her gay close friend na hindi niya alam na nakatingin din sa dereksyon na tinitingnan niya

"Such a thick face woman, so shameless..she looks like sl*t" naka irap nitong sabi.

Matagal nang ayaw ni Edna kay Celine, at ito ang nag aadvice sakanya na mukhang may relationship ang dalawa but she never listen to him dahil naniniwala parin siya na mahal siya ni Randell but now she already knows the truth.

"Alam mo ba girl, kalat na kalat na ang tsismis sainyu na break na kayo ni Mr. Mariano?"

Nanlalaki ang mata niya at napatingala dito.

"H-how..?"

"Hay, naku ba naman ateng!, Na block kana agad? Kalat na kalat na sa social media ang post ng hal*parot na babae na yan, while kissing Mr. Mariano, and quote--I deserve him because I'm better than her" nakairap pa nitong sabi.

Pakiramdam niya ay kumulo ang dugo niya sa nalaman after break up ay hindi na siya nag open ng social media account niya kaya wala siyang alam.

"Kaya alam na alam na sa opisina na inahas niya sayo si Randell" bulong pa nito sakanya.

She keeps on staring at them, and look at Randell, well hindi naman kasi maitatanggi that Randell is handsome ngunit bigla nanamang sumingit sa balintataw niya ang itsura ng estrangherong lalaki na iyon.

'.. that man looks so much better.'

She can't help but smile ngunit napabaling sakanya si Randell at nahuli siyang nakangiti and Randell smiles back at her.

Pinanlakihan niya ito ng mata baka isipin pa nito na dito siya nakangiti kaya naman nag iwas siya ng tingin.

"Pero tingnan mo girl.. I think I already found my soulmate!"

Tila bulateng tinutusok ng karayon ang galaw ni Eddie.

"What?"

"Look at Mr. Ashton.. ohh my gosh.. that was the kind of man I was dreaming all my life" tila nagdedeliryo pa ang mata nitong pinatirik, hinampas naman niya ang braso nito.

"Bakla.. akin nalang siya.." biglang singit naman ni Mona na nasa tabi narin pala niya.

"Pakiramdam ko magkaka perfect attendance ako this year" tila nananaginip din sa sabi ni Cherry.

"This is a beautiful view napaka swerte namin" bigla naman humarap sakanila si Jen at Carissa na nasa unahan nila ni Eddie.

Umirap naman ang bakla.

"Helow! Kahit may mga butas kayo may bibig naman ako, well the queen will win the price" tila siguradong sigurado sabi pa ni Eddie.

Napairap siya sa hangin.

She can't see Mr. Ashton dahil matangkad ang mga nasa unahan niya at makikita niya rin naman ito dahil sa opisina parin naman ang bagsak nito.

"Hai.. nakaka inggit.. sana naging Aliyah nalang ako.." biro pa ni Mona sakanya.

At natawa naman siya dito.

"Naku, bakla sure akong makaka move on ka kaagad niyan, araw-araw mo ba naman makikita ang ganun ka gwapong lalaki, kahit ako I will move with him na" kunway inipit pa ni Eddie and invisible na buhok sa tenga nito.

"Is everyone's here..?" It was the voice of Mr. Declan na pumutol sa malalim niyang pag iisip.

Almost all answered yes at dahil nasa likod sila ni Edna.

"Oh, I don't think so.. where's my secretary.. Aliyah..!" Napailing siya dahil halos lahat nagsilingon sakanya.

"Bakla.. tawag ka.." siniko siya ni Edna.

"Ayoko dun.." saway niya dito.

"Sir, nandito po!" Nagulat siya nang biglang magsalita si Eddie sabay turo sakanya.

"Eddie!" Pagalit niyang sabi dito but Eddie just laughed at her and the other employees starts laughing and give her way.

"Aliyah, hija come here," wala siyang magawa kaya naman nag excuse siya para makadaan papunta sa pwesto nito.

But her body turned cold when she saw a man standing beside Mr. Declan.

And that man also stared at her intently her heart almost skip a beat and stop walking malayo dito but Mr. Declan pulled her sa tabi nito.

" Ok, now we will start "

Halos magtago siya sa gilid ni Mr. Declan pakiramdam niya ay matutuyo ang lalamunan niya and her breathing became hard.

While the old Voclain was talking ay pakiramdam niya ay hindi na nagsi-sink in sa utak niya ang mga sinasabi nito.

Bahagya niyang inayos ang sarili niyang salamin when she realizes something. Her baggie clothes her thick round eye glasses and her hair tied up.

Ibang iba sa babaeng nakasama nito nang gabing iyon and both of them was drunk that time.

'... Is there's a possibility that he will recognize me?'

"I wanted you all to meet the eldest among my triplets this is Ashton Declan M. Voclain the new CEO of Maradang Voclain Technology Industry"

In her peripheral vision someone is staring at her kaya nag angat siya ng paningin at she saw Randell looking at her intently, but the woman besides him looks mesmerized while looking at Sir Ashton.

Napa ismid siya.

'.. lahat nalang sa babaeng ito,!'

She was still hurt, pag naaalala niya ang nangyari nang gabing iyon sa bahay ni Randell and she need to avoid him from now on silang dalawa ni Celine.

She take a glanced at Mr. Ashton and she was surprised when she saw him looking at her bigla siyang nag iwas ng tingin dito as her heart beat rapidly.

Mr. Declan ended

his speech at binigay na nito ang pag kakataon sa anak nito.

"Good day ladies and gentlemen..."

,'...even his voice it was so confirmed! He was that man.'

'... I can't believe this! I sleep with this man!'

'...I was hoping that he wouldn't recognized me..'

Almost all of the employees was staring at him while he was talking such a very good speaker na nakuha ang atensyon ng lahat but he doesn't sound like his father, he sounds arrogant and rude dahil sa mga na open nitong topic.

"You have to cooperate with me, and those who aren't willing to do that, the company's door is always open, I can hired new employees again I'm not as kind as my father so I'm expecting the best work from all of you, and I hope you won't disappoint me, I already reviewed the record of all of the employees here and almost all of you here inside this conference room has been working here for a years my expectations to all of you are elevated, and you have to do your job

preeminent"there's a hint of warning in his voice even though hindi man lang nagbago ang ekspresion at tono ng salita nito he didn't even frown.

Nahigit niya ang paghinga he was commanding everyone at hindi ito nakikiusap he was using his power to be able to control everyone in his hands and she didn't expect this.

Halos lahat ay natahimik but she can see Mr. Declan shoulder shaking na tila natutuwa sa reaksyon ng mga empleyado.

Mr. Ashton didn't even introduce himself one by one.

'... He was really on top..a control freak! '

Aside from his beautiful physical appearance he looked dominant no, he is indeed dominant.

After the meeting ay aalis na sana siya but Mr. Declan stopped her.

"Hija, from now on you will be working with my son so you have to be comfortable with him, like what you did to me, maybe my son is a bit rude among my triplets he is the most kind" bulong nito sakanya napabaling naman siya kay Mr. Ashton na nakikipag usap kaya Randell.

But Randell glanced at her but she glared at him ngunit biglang lumingon si Ashton kaya bigla siyang nagbawi ng tingin.

At napakagat ng labi dahil Ashton saw her looking at his direction.

But Ashton walked towards them and turned his gaze cold nang magtama ang mga paningin nila pero hindi siya pwedeng mahalata nito, she will be very obvious kaya nakipagsukan siya ng tingin dito but she soon smile at him but he didn't response and just stared at her expressionless.

And he stop in front of them.

"I think i still need to know more is this company Sir" He talks formally to his father.

'.. So he didn't recognize me.. '

"Yeah, I know son and Ms. Ferrer will be your guide, by the way Ashton this is my most trusted secretary., She's the lady you hired a year ago",her heart beat fast lalo na nang humarap ito sakanya.

'.... Aliyah! Composed yourself!'

Saway niya sa sarili.

"Nice meeting you sir, I'm Aliyah Ferrer I'm looking forward working for you sir"and she smiles at nilahad ang kamay dito.

His blue eyes glued on her eyes at nakakailang he didn't response at tumango lang ito but still accept her hands, nahigit niya ang paghinga when she feels the familiar warm of his hands na tila kuryenteng dumaloy sa katawan niya kaya naman bigla niyang nabawi ang kamay.

At bumaling sa matandang CEO.

"Ahm, sir it's already ten I just need a quick call for Mr. Taison for the sudden change of schedule" paalam niya.

Mr. Declan nod.

"Ok, hija susunod nalang kami"

She nodded and turned around ngunit nagulat siya ng makita niyang nakatayo si Randell sa may pinto ng conference room na tila hinihintay siya like he wanted to talk to her.

But it's too late she already give it up her Virginia.

She walks past him hanggang makalabas but Randell followed her.

"Liyah.. Liyah.. please let's talk.. " but she just ignored him at dumiretso sa elevator na tila walang narinig but Randell hold her wrist.

Her heart starts to aches lalo na nang mapatingin siya sa mga mata nito, he looked so guilty ngunit binawi niya ang kamay.

"That's enough Randell everything I saw that night was already enough so wag mo nang pagurin ang sarili mo because it's not worth it" she response coldly at dumiretso sa elevator but Randell still follows her.

"Liyah.. please" Randell again hold her wrist at pilit niyang binabawi ang kamay ngunit tila bakal ang hawak nito, she was waiting for other employees na makakasabay nila before the elevator closed but the least expected person she saw was Ashton who stared at her bago tuluyang magsara ang elevator.

"Liyah.. it's not like that.. I love you Liyah.. it.. it was just a lust..Celine is just a friend to me.. "

Nagulat siya sa sinabi nito she didn't expect to hear him to like this after may mangyari dito at kay Celine.

Ngunit napailing siya but Randell holds her hands.

"Please.. I will wait for you tonight let's talk.. I.. I don't want to throw our two years relationship Liyah I just got home.. at ngayon lang tayo nagkasama ulit.. so please..."

Napatitig siya kay Randell she do really love him ngunit dahil sa nangyari pakiramdam niya ay nag iba ang lahat,he cheated on her but because of her stubbornness she ended up giving her virginity to a stranger who didn't even recognized her.

She was confused at the moment the one part of her wanted to listen to him because he was right masasayang ang dalawang taon but.. paano nalang kung babalikan niya si Randell?

What if mag aya ito ng s*x sakanya? How can he tell him na hindi na siya virgin? Alam niyang alam nito na virgin pa siya at isa iyon sa mga dahilan kung bakit sila nagtagal because he was waiting for her to be ready.

But she needs to know kung kaya paba niyang panga tawanan iyon.

"... Ok.. "and she sighed heavily.

And Randell pulled her and hugged her.

" Thank.. you thank you.. "

Until they reached his floor and he got out of the elevator.

" I will wait for you.. "

And he gently smiles and she smiles slightly.

She was re-scheduling everything and arranging it nang dumating si Sir Manuel at ang mag amang Voclain.

Kunwari ay busy siya sa pagtipa, but she feels nervous again.

'... why did I feel this way towards that man?!'

"Aliyah are you done?"

Bungad ni Mr. Declan sakanya bahagya niyang inayos ang salamin niya at tiningala ito.

"Ahm, malapit na sir"

"Ok, hija after that please proceed to the office"

"Ok sir" at pinagpatuloy niya ang ginagawa when she received a message from Randell.

(Liyah.. will pick you up by 5,..)at heart emoji sa dulo.

Kinuha niya ang cellphone and reply.

(Pls, just wait for me outside the building)

And she sent it ngunit nakakailang type palang siya ay tumunog nanaman ang cellphone niya.

(No, I will be at your table later)

Napailing siya at hindi na siya nagreplay.

She was still occupied and she feel so confused right now at napahilot siya sa sintido at tinapos na ang ginagawa.

And she stood up at dumiretso sa opisina ng CEO at sabay sabay na napabaling sakanya ang mga ito.

Dahil sa lalim ng iniisip niya she forgot about this man who was staring at her his blue eyes settled on her at nakaramdam siya ng ilang.

"Did you also trained your secretary to be, this rude dad? She was entering your office without even knocking" he sarcastically gazed at her.

And she bit her lips naka sanayan na kasi niya iyon because Mr. Declan was not sensitive.

But Mr. Declan just laugh.

"Oh, it's my bad hijo.,like I told you I considered Aliyah as my daughter here at the company, a daughter that me and your mom never had and I told her that she can enter whenever she wants"

That's right sinabi nga nito sakanya ni Mr. Declan but her new boss is now his son.

"Please forgive my rudeness sir" nahihiya niyang sabi dito.

But Ashton looked at her from face down to her feet at bumalik ang tingin nito sa mukha niya.

"Tomorrow you need to change your style of clothing Ms. Ferrer, you didn't look presentable wearing those kinds of baggie clothes"

He has a sharp tongue, and he sounds arrogant at hindi niya maiwasang mag taas nang kilay but she control herself.

'.. hmp! How arrogant! masasabi mo kaya yan if you remember how you praised me when you saw me naked that time.'

Ngunit nagitla siya sa naisip bakit ba ganito siya mag isip ngayon?

"I'm sorry sir but I feel comfortable with these clothes sir, and I don't think my choice of clothes will affect the quality of my work"

" Hijo, Aliyah is right., It was already her habit so baka mahirapan siyang mag adjust"

Halata ang pagkampi sakanya ni Mr. Declan.

But Ashton lick his lips infront of her at napalunok siya sa ginawa nito.

" She is not my boss, I'm her new boss and she needs to adjust., dad,"

And Mr. Declan sighed heavily mukhang wala na rin itong magawa sa sariling anak nito, lumingon sakanya si Mr. Declan and he looked at her na tila ba sinasabi na intindihin nalang niya.

'.. napaka yabang! '

But she can't..

"Well.. Aliyah did you already finished the schedule? ''

Napabaling siya kay Mr. Declan.

" Yes sir. "

'.. gigil mo si ako! '
