Unwanted Bride

CHAPTER 34

Wearing my simple floral dress and a black  stiletto I bit my lower lip as I look at the huge building in front of me. My hands is sweating because of some unknown reasons. I regret saying 'yes' to my manager immediately, kung bakit ba kasi hindi ako nag-isip ng araw na yun at hindi ko binasa lahat. Ang tanga ko talaga.

"Let's go inside, madam." tinanguan ko ang bodyguard kung halos hindi umalis ang tingin sakin.

Siguro inutusan to ni Chase. I miss him already hindi pa sya ulit tumatawag o text man lang, siguro hindi pa siya nakakarating.

It was already 9'oclock in the morning at sobrang late na ako sa usapang 8am ay dapat nandito na ako. I spend maybe one hour in the bathroom thinking if I still have a chance to cancel this project but I know there's no way I can cancel or refuse it, it's too late plus I can't afford to disappoint my manager.

I walk inside the building and a familiar girl greet me, Drake's secretary.

"Good day, ma'am!" masigla nitong bati. Tumingin pa ito sa likuran ko na parang may hinahanap, I  just smiled at her and greet her back.

"buen día." maikling saad ko. It means good day in English at siguro naiintindihan nya din yun dahil mas lalong lumawak ang ngiti niya.

I'm not really in the mood today. Medyo naiilang pa ako sa bodyguard kong sunod ng sunod sakin, I only want Chase to do that.

"I'm sorry if I'm late."

"Hehe, nag-aantay lang naman po si Sir sa office niya."

"Is my manager also there?" tanong ko.

"Yes po, kanina pero umalis na po eh bago kayo dumating." nagtaka naman ako sa sinagot niya pero hindi nalang ako nagsalita.

Ng makasakay kami sa elevator at ng lumapag yun sa lugar kung nasaan ang office niya ay muli ko na namang naramdaman ang kaba at kahit hindi pa nga kami nagkaharap ay parang naiilang na ako. I really hate this uneasiness feeling.

"Pasok po kayo, ma'am." Pinagbuksan ako nito ng pinto at hindi ko man lang namalayan na nasa harap na pala talaga ako ng office niya.

Despite for the feelings that I have right now I just nodded and ordered my bodyguard to stay outside. Ayukong baka marinig niya ang pwedeng sabihin ni Drake. I don't know what will happened next.

Ng makapasok na ako ay nagpaiwan din sa labas ang secretary niya. My eyes landed on the man that I loved years ago, he's looking at me intently with longing and gentleness in his eyes, and that makes me confused.

"Hi." his voice is so manly. He pointed the chair infornt of his table.

I really feel this uneasiness feeling at iisipin ko palang na makakasama ko siya ng medyo matagal sa trabaho ay parang gusto ko nalang humimlay. Not that I still have feeling for him, ayuko lang talaga na makasama siya. Hindi ko alam na ganito ang uuwian ko sa Pilipinas. If Chase were here it wont be this hard.

"I'm sorry I'm late." tanging naisaad ko at umupo sa upuang nasa harapan niya.

"It's okay," tumikhim siya at kagaya ng secretary niya tumingin din siya sa likod and when he find nothing he looked at me and smiled.

"Where's your bodyguard?" Si Chase ba ang tinutukoy niya? Hindi naman sarcastic ang pagkakasabi niya but for me i don't want anyone to call Chase that way. He's not just my bodyguard.
