Chapter 3

Ethan

I didn't expect that Miss Alvarez will take note of what I said last time but I never expect that the women she chose are so... active and talkative. I almost put my hands on her mouth to stop this woman's talkative voice.

"Well, what do you think about-" I just give the woman a smile. A forced smile. I looked at Miss Alvarez asking for help. She also seemed painfully looking at the woman and give me an apologetic smile.

'Since you're the one who put me in this situation, come and help me,' I mentally said and I hope that she understand what I am saying but instead she looked away. I sighed and shake my head.

"Is there something wrong?" tanong ng babae kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya. I smiled and shake my head.

"No. Nothing is wrong. Please continue whatever you're saying." She smiled and nodded. Nagkwento ulit siya. Is she not done? I sighed and closed my eyes. After 30 minutes, it seems that her stories died down. Napagal ata kakadaldal ang babae. I looked at Miss Alvarez and she was trying her best to stay awake.

"So, what do you think? We can continue this further right?" I looked at the woman in front of me and faked a smile. Damn no! I don't want a woman who is talking nonstop and might be good at nagging.

"I don't this is going to work, Miss...?" Nakita ko na napakunot noo ang babae at umismid.

"Don't tell me you forgot my name?" I raised my eyebrow and looked at her seriously and didn't answer her, clearly stating that I really don't know. She looked at me angrily and stood up. She picked up the glass of water and threw its content to me. I heard a gasp nearby. Nakita ko na agad na lumapit si Miss Alvarez. I tried to contain my anger by sighing deeply and counting from 1 to 10. Lumapit naman si Arnold sakin at binigyan ako ng tissue.

"Miss Alba, please calm down!" sabi ni Miss Alvarez but the woman just pushed her hard which made her fall down on the floor. It made my right eye twitch. I don't like what is happening right now.

"What are you doing?" I asked coldly towards the woman. The woman looked at me before looking at Miss Alvarez.

"This girl wanted to meddle with my affairs! How dare she?" I snickered and looked at her sharply.

"She's just asking you to calm down. You don't have to push her," I said sternly. I went towards Miss Alvarez and reach out my hand which she took and help her to stand up. "Miss Alvarez, I think you made a mistake."

"Yes, she did a mis-"

"I told you to partner me up with someone who is a good conversationalist and not to a talkative, uneducated, and unpleasant person. Now, I want to meet someone who is educated that who knows how to respect someone," I said and glared at the woman. She stomped her feet and left. I looked at Miss Alvarez who is looking down. "What is her name?"

"Huh?" I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone.

"What is her name? Which company daughter she is?" I asked her again. She blinked before saying the name and the company she was affiliated with. I smirked because I am also annoyed with the owner of that company because of the same reason. Rude and unpleasant. No wonder, the fruit is not far away from the tree. I texted Jeric and told him to take that woman off the chart and banned him from that company with the reason... 'because I want to'. Jeric immediately texted back by saying okay. I faced Miss Alvarez. "I need a change."

"Okay. I will be back," sabi niya at umalis. Nakita ko na hinatak niya si Arnold paalis. I went to the restroom and wipe my hair using a tissue. That damn woman! She ruined my hairstyle! Napabuntong hininga ako at tinanggal ang suit Jacket ko pati ang polo shirt at neck tie ko na nabasa dahil sa itinapon na tubig ng babae kanina. I am now topless in the restroom and I was waiting for my change of clothes.

"Sir Joaquin, here's the polo shirt you needed." Lumabas ako ng restroom at nakita ko si Miss Alvarez na nasa labas na nanlalaki ang mata. Napataas ang kilay ko at napatingin sa sarili. Is there something wrong? I looked at her again and I saw that she's looking at my abs. I smirked and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Liking what you see?" I asked. I successfully get her attention and I saw her blush before turning around. Inabot niya saking polo shirt habang nakatalikod siya.

"He-he-here! You can change," sabi niya. Kinuha ko naman. I smirked and pulled her hand towards me. Her body collided with me. I can feel her breath on my chest, it tickled me. I looked down because of our height difference, I lift her chin up for her to face me.

"Why don't you help me change?" I asked again. Her face turned red more that it reach her neck. I tried not to laugh because of her reaction. She pursed her lips and pushed me away.

"Please, refrain yourself," she said and made a few steps back away from me. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears. Even her ears are red. This woman... How can she be soo cute? If I did this to a woman, they will take the chance and already ask me to bed them but her, Miss Marissa Alvarez, is very different.

"Why? Don't you want to have a taste of me?" I smirked. She looked at me and composed herself.

"No. Not interested." I laugh and shake my head. She looked at me for a second before leaving. I smirked. She's fun to tease.  I put my polo shirt on and went out of the restroom. I saw her talking with Arnold, maybe they are discussing the next Marriage Meeting. Napasin kaagad ako ni Arnold kaya lumapit siya sakin.

"Sir, Miss Marissa will inform us again with the next Marriage Meeting." I raised my eyebrows and looked at Miss Alvarez. Should I try calling her name instead of his last name?

"Marissa!" I called. She looked at me then I give her a wink. I almost laugh when I saw her blushes. "See you next marriage meeting" I walked out of the store and my bodyguard who was on duty immediately went to my side. Pagpasok namin ng kotse ay agad na nagsalita si Arnold.

"Are you really going to continue this, Sir?" I smirked and looked at Arnold.

"Why not? Marissa is interesting. Papalampasin ko pa ba na asarin siya?" nakangising sabi ko. Mukhang nagulat si Arnold sa sinabi ko. Minsan lang ako magkaroon ng interest sa ibang bagay, kaya I might as well enjoy teasing Marissa because her reactions is quite interesting than the other women.

"Are you still going to the bar later?" I looked at him with a frown.

"Anong meron sa bar mamaya?" Arnold looked at me confused.

"Uhh, you told me yesterday that you'll come to the bar today. Magkikita po kayo nila Sir Jeric," sabi ni Arnold at ipinakita niya sakin ang schedule ko for this day. I forgot about it.

"Then we'll go. Make some arrangements."
