Under the CEO'S Possession
Chapter 15

[The Painting]

KASALUKUYAN akong nagtitimpla ng kape para kay Cleo, his usual coffee. Pagkatapos ay nagtungo na ako palabas ng kusina upang dalhin ito sa kaniya.

3 days na rin when I've last seen Mr. Zedro. Wala naman akong natatanggap na kahit na anong updates galing sa kaniya saka wala rin namang sinasabi si Cleo, because it seems that both of them are occupied lalo na si Cleo because he left earlier than usual. Though I also think kung kumusta na si Kian, if did he already received the help he needed?

Pero nahihiya rin naman akong magtanong sa kaniya so I decided to just shut up.

Sa sobrang dami kung iniisip ay aksidente kung naibuhos ang mainit sa kape kay Cleo at sa aking kamay dahilan na mapaso ito. He jumped out from his seat habang ako nama'y sorry-nang-sorry.

I tried helping him wipe off the stains with tissues but he only took my hand and guide me to the kitchen patungo sa lababo. I can feel the stinging and heat sensation as he grips my hands, naiiyak tuloy ako sa sakit.

“Cool water will do,” sambit niya

He took a silver bowl and placed it under my hands and he gently placed my hands on the bowl with running water.

Tahimik lang naman niya itong ginagawa and I can feel the sting and heat slow fade away.

“Is it ok now?” Napatingin ako sa kaniya na ngayo'y nakatingin pala sa akin

“O-Oo,” nauutal kong usisa sa kaniya

He sighed and said “be careful next time”. I was taken by surprise at agad na pinunasan ang aking basang kamay after he was done. Nagpaalam naman siyang umalis at iniwan akong tulala doon sa kusina.

I was stunned for a few minutes at napabalik realidad ng tapikin ni manang ang aking pisngi.

“Ayos ka lang?” she asked full of concern

“Ayos lang manang, kaunting paso lang,” sambit ko naman. Siguro hindi niya nakita ang ginawa ni Cleo kanina, so I decided not to tell her anything.

Matapos ang iilang minuto ay narinig ko ang pagtawag sa akin ni Cleo.

Mabilis naman akong nagtungo sa salas ngunit, wala akong nadatnan na Cleo.

“Alisha” Napatingin ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses sa may hagdan at do'n siya nakita.

He was wearing a simple navy blue suit and loafers, but why does he look different? Not in a bad way but rather, he looks good right now. With his hair sleek back with gel or wax probably. Why am I talking about him too much?

“Sir?” tanong ko sa kaniya

“Clean up every space and room available because I'll be having guests over,” sagot nito as he made his way out of the mansion.

Napatingin ako sa paalis na sasakyan nila mula sa nakaawang na pinto. Just how many guest does he have for me to clean his mansion?! Magpapa-party ba siya? As far as I remembered sobrang daming kwarto sa mansiyon na ito at partida hindi ko pa alam kung saan ang ibang kwarto dahil kaunti lang ang naipakita sa akin ni manang.

Napagpasyahan ko nalang magtungo sa kusina upang kumuha ng panggatong sana, joke lang. Para kumuha ng cleaning supplies at para humingi na rin siguro ng tulong kay manang.

It is impossible for me to clean an entire mansion without costing an arm and a leg.

Baka nga likod ko puhunan ko rin
