Faultlessly Captivated [Completed]

Chapter 18

Nagising ako ng maaga. Hindi na rin masyadong masakit ang nawasak kong pearlas, pwede ng wasakin ulit. Kidding aside.

Papasok ako ngayon sa trabaho pero hindi ko minamadali ang mga galaw ko. Naligo ako sa banyo, nagbihis, naghanda na mabagal ang galaw.

Late na ako pero gusto ko namanamin ang bawat segundo. Malay ko... my heart wouldn't function later, it'll be dead.

I wore the same outfit when I first step into the hotel, my outfit during the interview. But now, it's not only lip tint that I have on my face, I put a make-up. Masasaktan pero maganda pa rin. Although, my make-up can't hide the big circles in my eyes so I decided to wear sunglasses.

“Gunthe yarn!?” I murmured as I looked at myself in the mirror. I inhaled and hold back my tears, sayang make-up. After that, umalis na ako ng bahay.

Let's take the risk and let's face the reality.

When I pass in the Lobby, most of the eyes are on me. Well, for the first I wore black sandals with 5-inch heels. It created a sound every time I take a step. But who cares? Let's savor the moment because it might be the last time.

WHEN I got out of the Elevator, my heart is starting to beat so fast. My hands are trembling as I walk toward his office. I stop when I was already in front of his office. I inhaled and exhale and open it.

I was right, the CEO of Austria's Hotel is back. He looks restless but still manages to look handsome. Unfair, I have to wear make-up just to look good, I even covered my eyes with sunglasses just to hide the dark circles because make-up can't conceal them.

I remove my sunglasses and smile at him. I can feel my views get smaller because of the bags in my eyes. I look at him, he's wearing a black polo, black fitted jeans, and black rubber shoes. Namatayan din ba siya?

“Hi,” I greeted as if nothing happened. I tried to be composed through my inside is already in chaos.

He didn't give me any response, he keep on staring at me. He was staring which made my knees tremble, I walk towards the sofa gracefully because if I stayed standing for any moment, I might fall.

“Let's talk,” he seriously said. He came near me and sit in opposite in where I was sitting. Parang piniga ang puso ko, kung makadikit siya sa'kin dati ay parang linta, pero ngayon, ang lapit niya pero 'di ko siya abot.

“Of course, we will, Love,” I sweetly said. He was confused about how I acted. Maybe he expected a slap from me. Although I won't do it, I love him so much that I couldn't hurt him.

He caused me pain and I will act as if nothing happened. And I want to accept pain with elegance. Para sa kabataang winasak at iniwan pagkatapos!

“L-lets stop this,” he seems struggling when he said it.

Is it possible that you'll feel your heart cracked? Because I'm experiencing it right now.

“Am I not enough?” I asked him seriously. There's no trace of pain in my voice, there was nothing but seriousness. He was caught off guard by the question.

“Y-you are... I love you... I really do.” He said and at that moment, umasa ako na mali ako. Na mananalo ang tinaya kong puso. I stayed silent enjoying the little hope inside me until he continued.

“But my ex came back,” he breathed.

He was like he's having a hard time while me? I was surprised by what I heard. The elegant posture that I carried was gone.

“Y-you...” I fake a cough because even my voice is broken. I inhaled, tears are cropping up in my eyes.

“You r-realized that you still l-love her?” my heart broke with my question. Tears are finally rolling in my face.
