HBS 2: The Secret the Island Holds

04

CASTRIAL'S POV

Dumeretso ako sa penthouse ko after nung nangyari sa hotel. I can't remember exactly kung may nangyari ba samin nung babae kagabi or it's just my imagination playing with me.

Pero para sa akin naman meron. I took a quick shower and dress up for work. naalala ko na may meeting ako nung nag text sakin ang aking secretary na si Mauritius. Yes Mauritius talaga pangalan nya. It sounds like the place. But guess what that is his name.

The meeting is about.... I forgot. I might as well be honest. I took the CEO job because my dad wanted me to. And because ayaw ko mapalayas sa bahay.

Since I reached the age 27, Hindi na nila ako tinantanan sa pamimilit na ikasal ako. I just gave them the same answer everytime that topic comes up.

"No, I love someone and I am willing to wait for her even if it takes a very long time"

Enough about that. Bumaba na ako sa penthouse ko at sumakay ng sasakyan. This is an Ashton Martin. papunta na ako sa workplace ko.

I can't stop thinking about the woman in her not so conservative dress. Just by thinking on how she looks like that night makes my body feel things only someone could ever make me feel. and that someone is special. So I wonder to myself whyy and how can she make me feel those things.

I was to occupied with the woman in red dress that I didn't realize na nasa company na pala ako. I parked my car in our under ground parking space and use an elevator to go to my office.

I was checking my phone for the latest updates about sports car racing when my elevator door opened.

It is my floor already. Bumungad sakin ang isang babae na nakaupo sa desk ko habang nakasuot ng super revealing na damit. I admit sexy sya and maganda pero there's nothing I can feel for her. Not even lust.

"Get away from my table Samantha" I said and went to the pantry to make my own coffee.

"Don't you wanna be with me Cas?" I ignored her which probably set her off.

"Cas, Ilang taon pa ba ha?! I am waiting for you but you just kept pushing me away?! ano ba Wala sakin na Meron si Rachelia haaa?!"

At nang marinig ko ang pangalan na yun. parang nag init bigla ang ulo ko. It has just been so long since narinig ko ang pangalan na yun.

"You don't even deserve to say her name. She is much more purer and cleaner than you will ever be. so shut the fuck up and leave my damn office! "

I promise I was shocked. But I said what I said. I drink my coffee to calm my self.

It looks like she took what I said to her heart because of her watery eyes but when she notices that I am looking at her she put that smug look on her face.

" Really Cleaner and purer? It seems like you don't know Rachelia that well"

With that she left my office and that left me dumbfounded. Me? Don't know Rachelia. She must be joking herself .

Kinalimutan ko na Ang sinabi nya and I focused on my work. Yes work is more important right now.

***

After a few minutes, someone knocked at my door .

"Enter" I said as I was signing up my papers.

"Goodmorning sir. The meeting was postponed due to absences of most the participants. And I have more papers for you to sign"

Yes, it was my nosy secretary Mauritius. Buy hey, it's much better than those girl secretaries, that wanna take your attention in the not most subtle way. And I hate that. I have been faithful.

You were most certainly not faithful last night.

The voice in my head said so. and yeah that was real. But I have to keep my promise for my self. Ayaw man na nya but I promised that when I see her again I am gonna do everything to have her back and that is what I plan to do.

"Wala na bang idadami pa yang mga ibibigay mo sakin Maurice? I am so bombarded with works and papers. I can't enjoy my life"

" Well, sir let me remind you na kaya ka meron sangkatutak na trabaho ay dahil you chose to enjoy your life "

Yun lang ang sinabi nya at umalis na. Hindi ko alam na namamalikmata ako, pero sa tingin ko inirapan nya ako. Weird.

Pero yun na nga.Works. Works. Works. Hanggang sa nakita ko yung papel na may pirma ko na, I swear di ko pa nakikita.

It's about the flowers hop and event designer thingy. Iniisip ko tuloy kung may nahire na ba kami and it seems like a yes.

Siguro patago na naman tong pinapirmahan ni Mauritius sakin. But hey the person he actually picked is good. I love the ambiance of the place. They are known nationally and I really love the name CASTALIA FLOWERS.

There was a picture of the woman who was behind this amazing shop.

MS. CASTALIA.

Why did she looks familiar?

memories from last night suddenly appeared

Don't tell me.....

Nooooooo..
