His New Secretary (Good at Pretend Series #1)

CHAPTER 09

Chapter Nine~

Its 5:30 pm already, kaka out ko lang sa trabaho at dumeritso agad ako rito sa grocery store para ibili ng mga pagkain si Jaime. Maybe, pangbawi ko narin kahit papano?

I've been busy this past few days that I even forgot about our food stock, paubos na pala. Kung hindi pa ako tumingin ng stocks sa kusina namin kahapon ay hindi ko malalaman. 'Yung prutas nga ubos na pala, hindi man lang nagsabi si Nika.

Ngayon tuloy ay napasugod muna ako rito para mag grocery, pauwi narin naman ako kaya dito na ako bibili. Atsaka para naman deritso bahay na ako pagkauwi.

I was pushing my cart in the meat section, nakakuha na ako ng vegetables, so as biscuits and other foods na gustong gusto ni Jaime. After ko rito sa meat section, sa counter na ako. Bayad at uwi agad.

I was checking the meat I pick when someone bump my cart accidentally... or maybe intentionally. Fvck!

"Oh, Miss Corpuz."

I fake a smile when I saw him with he's cart too. The one who bump my cart.

"Sir, I thought you went home already?" tanong ko at tinalikuran sya upang tingnan muli ang karneng pinipili ko kanina.

Naramdaman ko ang pagtabi nya saakin, tumitingin din ng mga karne.

"Still the same Jalirah I know," he whispered.

Fuck him! Bulong ba 'yun? O sadyang pinaparinig nya saakin? Anyway... whatever he wanted I don't care.

Nang makapili na ako ng karne ay nilagay ko na ito sa cart ko at nagpaalam sa kanya. Akala ko makakatakas na ako sakanya but when I was about to pay the bill, he immediately handed he's black credit to the cashier. I complained of what he did dahil kaya ko namang bayaran pero sabi nya tulong na daw nya.

What the fuck? Tulong saan? tangIna!

"Sir, I will pay you instead." ani ko nang makalabas kami ng grocery store.

"Jalirah, it's okay. You don't need to pay me,"

"Ayukong magkautang sa kahit sino, sir. Just let me pay you,"

He went silent, he knew he won't won against me. He sighed deeply, defeated.

"Fine,"

Inabot ko sakanya ang cash na ibabayad ko sana kanina, he accept it agad naman. That's good, ayaw kong magkautang sakanya.

"Since you didn't let me pay your groceries, let me drive you home instead."

Natigilan ako sa offer nya. No fucking way! If I let him drive me home baka makita nya pa ang anak ko. Ayaw ko non!

"No, thank you—" My phone suddenly rang, cutting me off.

Kinuha ko ito mula sa bag ko ng makalayo ako ng bahagya kay Caleb, I answered Nika's call with confusing.

"Niks?"

[Janna? N-Nasan kana ba?] Agad akong nagtaka sa panginginig ng boses nya.

"Niks? What happened?" Naging seryoso na ang boses ko.

[U-Umuwi kana! Janna, si Jaime—]

"Ano nga nangyari? Nika?" Mariing tanong ko, as much as I wanted to yelled I can't because Caleb was just their.

[Sinugod sa hospital si Jaime]

My world suddenly stop as I hear what she said, nawalan ako ng sasabihin. Napatingin lang ulit ako sa phone ko ng mag vibrate ito, tenext nya ang address ng hospital kung nasaan sila.
