Defending Mr. Billionaire (Sandoval Trilogy #1) | COMPLETED

Chapter 85

Atty. Christine Villeza

"It must be Jelsey's idea." Anthony uttered while he was guiding me to get down from his car. Habang inaalalayan ako nito sa pagbaba sa kotse niya ay mag-isa namang bumaba si Jelsey na animo'y sawa na sa kalandian ni Anthony.

"What's my idea, huh?" Jelsey asked while fixing her dress. Inirapan din nito si Anthony habang nakatingin sa repleksyon nito sa salamin ng kotse.

"Your color-schemed dresses? Black and white. You two always dress like that whenever you visit me in the police station two years ago."

Nang makababa na ako ng kotse ay inayos ko rin ang suot kong damit. Hindi na sinagot ni Jelsey ang tanong ni Anthony dahil bukod sa masyado na itong obvious, naiirita na rin kasi si Jelsey. Well, this bitch has her period an hour ago so we were kinda late right now. Mabuti nga't nakapag-hintay pa sa amin si Anthony.

After I got myself prepared, humalik na ako kay Anthony bago pumasok sa building ni Severina. Anthony bid us a good bye before he went into his car. "Call me when you got home. I'm sorry, hindi na kita maiihahatid pauwi. May emergency problem din kasi sa Rivamonte Hotel so I'll be late."

"A'right, bye. Mag-ingat ka."

Pagkaalis nito ay agad akong siniko ni Jelsey sabay bulong ng, "Nagsasama ba kayo sa isang bahay?"

I instinctively rolled my eyes and went inside the building. "No, we're not. He's just coming over to my house whenever he wants."

"That's the same. Knowing Anthony, he always wants to go to your house."

As expected, all of the employees working here were looking at us like we were superstars. Well, not really. Isang palapag lang ang kompanya ni Severina pero 'di hamak na malaki ito kaya sobrang luwag pa rin. This building was super organized; you can't even see a single flaw on how the table and the offices are arranged.

It was black and white in motif, just like the motif of Jelsey's law firm. "Sherlock Hemsworth." I uttered under my breath as I was looking the the big name on Severina's office. Nasa dulo ng building na ito ng office niya pero kitang-kita ang pangalan ng detective agency nito.

Nang makarating kami sa dulo, nakita agad namin si Katerina na naghihintay sa labas ng malaking opisina. "What took you so long?" she asked while assisting us with our bags. She just carried Jelsey's bag since I insisted to carry my own. "Anyway, Ate's been waiting in side. Go in."

After she said that, Jelsey pushed the tinted glass door that was the only visible way in and out. Nang pumasok kami'y naabutan naming si Severina sa busy sa pagta-type sa laptop niya. It took her a second before she realized that we're here. Umirit ito nang napakalakas at sinalubong kami ng mahigpit na yakap. "Oh my gosh, I miss you two! Especially you, Christine! How long has it been?"

"I lost count." I replied and smiled at her. Pinaupo na kami nito sa couch sa isang sulok ng kaniyang opisina. The layout of her office was the same as with Jelsey's office. It seems like they have the same engineer and architect then talked about it in pairs. "It's been a while. You're successful as well, Severina."

"Not as much as Jelsey's success." she replied and chuckled. Pinaghanda kami nito ng maliit na comforter dahil napakalamig sa kaniyang opisina. This bitch was also wearing a winter jacket since it was too cold here. Summer sa labas pero winter sa loob ng opisina niya. "What took you forever? Muntik niyo na akong hindi maabutang buhay."

"Don't exagerate, Severina. We're still annoyed that we have to call you by your first name since you and your sister has the same nickname." Jelsey butted in and sighed. "What a pain in the ass."
