Territorial Men 12: Clinton Grande

15 ~ BROTHERHOOD

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

A MEN like Thalmus and Diablo can't just be disregarded. Especially, all the men in that crowd showed their respect to the patriarch despite that they are also people who are belong to the high society, with wealth and influence.

The founder of Potentia Invicta—Thalmus Royle Vanders chose to stay on the ground and be surrounded with high-powered men in the country instead of going to the stage for his speech and introduction.

His hair is gray and almost silvery with some black strands that were seemed waiting to turn gray. The length is longer than usual. His beard, trimmed mustache and sideburns were grey as well. Having a mixed foreign blood is very noticeable on his hard feature. He looked like a respectable villain in some Hollywood action films.

The back of Thalmus' hand while holding a glass of whisky has a tattoo; a half face of a woman she couldn't recognized.

Knowing that he's on his probably early seventies, to see him this mighty, strong and alert was astonishing.

On the other side was Diablo. Around him was a group of men his age; including her father and Clinton's father too. They have this animated conversation and even though he speaks, his mouth barely move.

Half of his face was covered by a black phantom of the opera mask. His hair is in a long man bun and there's tattoos around his neck. His air remained eerie and too heavy to carry.

"So, you're in a relationship with Clinton Grande and you're living with him too?" Ayesha showed her interest towards her relationship with a Grande.

Wala na sa lamesa nila sina Clinton at Clane. Nakikipag-usap na ang mga ito sa mga iba pang miyembro na naroon. Bilang lang di ang mga babaeng imbitado at pareho sila ni Ayesha na walang kakilala ni isa.

"For now we are living together. But once he goes back to Cebu, I'm going back to our mansion."

"He seemed very busy. Are you not a jealous type girlfriend? Kasi ako dati, palagi akong nagpapapansin sa asawa ko kapag sobrang busy niya sa trabaho." Sabay hagikhik pa ng magandang pinsan niya.

She can't tell yet if even his job could make her jealous. But she's sure, she's a jealous type girlfriend and Clinton most likely knew it.

"I am a jealous type and I am glad I don't see him yet with another woman."

"Hmm! Kailangan mong masigurado kung sinu-suno ba ang mga kasama niya araw-araw. How about his secretaries? Are they males or females? And how about his female employees? Business associates?"

Sa mga sinasabi ni Ayesha, nagkakaroon tuloy siya ng ideya tungkol sa mga taong nakakasalamuha ni Clinton araw-araw sa trabaho.

Ano bang alam niya? Wala masyado. Bukod lang sa mga naging babae ni Clinton noon at sa posisyon nito sa kumpanya ng pamilya.

They just got back together. She had missed a lot about him. Nag uumpisa palang sila sa isang panibagong relasyon at hindi niya akalain na pati ang mga nakakasama ni Clinton kapag hindi sila magkasama ay kailangan alam niya o kilala niya.

"All I know is his secretary is male."

"Bakit? One lang ba ang secretary niya? That's impossible, Xaria."

How many secretaries Clinton Grande has by the way? Damn. She doesn't know the answer!

"He probably has three or four!" Ayesha pursed her lips and paused as if she's thinking on something.

Ibinalik ni Xaria ang tingin kay Clinton at naabutan niya itong nakatingin din sa kanya na tila ba kanina pa naghihintay na sulyapan niya.

Nginitian niya ito habang tumatakbo sa isip niya ang mga ibabatong tanong sa kasintahan mamaya.
