Y/N's POV

"Get out," I said while looking at her.

"I need to talk to yo—"

"I don't need to talk to you," sagot ko at tinalikuran siya.

Nagulat ako nang hawakan niya ang braso ko. Agad ko 'yong inalis at hinarap siya.

"Who gave you the rights to touch me?"

"Y/—"

"Architect," pagtatama ko sa kaniya. "Architect Y/N,"

"Fine, Architect Y/N atleast hear me out,"

"You're not the one I need, can't you understand that?"

"I'm representing Engr. Valdez for today," she said.

Nag lakad ako papunta sa upuan ko at umupo ron bago siya tiningnan ulit. "Representative? Gaano ba kahirap intindihin 'yong sinabi ko na si Engr. Valdez ang gusto kong makausap, hindi representative?"

"Engr. Valdez is busy right now,"

"Busy or.." kinuha ko 'yong ballpen ko at nilaro laro iyon. "Scared?"

She didn't talk.

Sumandal ako sa upuan. "Hmm, threatened?"

"I'm not here para makipagaway,"

"And so am I,"

"Then care to explain why you're talking like that?"

"I think it's not required to explain, so why would I?"

She sighed. I smirked.

Talo ka.

Binuklat niya 'yong bag niya at kinuha 'yong mga folders na nandoon bago inilapag sa table ko.

"What's this?" I asked at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

"Files," maikling sagot niya. "Important files,"

Kinuha ko 'yong nasa ibabaw na folder at tiningnan iyon.

Natawa ako. "It doesn't look like that important naman," I said.

The paper, mukhang nabasa at pinatuyo lang.

"Deeply sorry for that, natapunan niya ng tubig habang ginagawa,"

I nodded at ibinalik 'yon sa lamesa. "Lazy enough to print another one?"

"Arki,"

"What?"

She sighed. "Bakit ba ayaw mo akong kausapin?"

"I'm talking to you right now, Tricia." I said at inilagay ang baba ko sa kamay ko.

"See, the way you answer,"

"I can't see anything wrong with it. As far as I know, ikaw 'yong biglang pumunta kahit hindi naman ikaw ang hinahanap?"

Hindi siya nakasagot.

Let's see hanggang saan ang kaya mo.

"Bakit kaya ganon, no? Bakit ang hilig sumulpot ng mga tao kapag hindi sila hinahanap tapos kapag kailangang kailangan sila, doon pa nawawala?"

"If this is something persona—"

"Oh, this is not something personal, Tricia. Unless?"

"Architect, please."
