Chapter 40

The next few weeks were nothing but a blur. I was busy with the new branch in Singapore. As for my relationship with King, it was okay. By okay, I mean, we didn't breakup.

But Belle was right when she said that things were bound to get worst. Because it is, now.

"How come I am not surprised that you've been here all day?" Bungad ni Tyler sakin. He closed the door as he walked near me. "Steffie. Konti nalang, iisipin ko na talagang bampira ka. Lagi kang nandito sa office mo, para kang nagtatago sa araw." Aniya.

Napaangat ako ng kilay. "Vampire? Me? Like Elena Gilbert? Oh, right. You're a Salvatore, kapatid ka ba nila Damon?" I mocked him. Vampire my ass.

Lalong lumaki ang ngisi niya at umupo siya sa harap ko. "I dont have any idea what you're talking about, Reyna. All those vampire series, not really interested." Umiling siya. "But you're mocking me. That's an improvement. At the very least, hindi na pangtataboy ang bungad mo sakin." Aniya at bahagyang tumawa.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards. Netong mga nakaraang linggo ay madalas ko siyang pinapalis ng office. I've had too much on my plate, and him being here doesn't usually help. Imbes na makapagtrabaho ako ng maayos ay guguluhin niya lang ako ng guguluhin.

Same old annoying Tyler.

"You should get a life, you know." Sabi niya kaya napataas ako ng kilay.

I let out a chuckle. "So I dont have a life?" I said sarcastically.

Umiling siya at bahagyang ngumuso. Oh, why is he so adorable when he does that. Damn it. "What do you think? Wala ka ng ibang ginawa kundi magtrabaho. Trabaho dito. Trabaho doon. Do you even know the word 'fun'?" Natatawa niyang sabi.

"So, what are you suggesting?" I asked him as I finished signing the bunch of papers that needs to be signed.

Kinuha niya ang bag ko at sinukbit niya iyon sa balikat niya. "Im suggesting, we join Belle, Sky, Erika and others tonight." Aniya at hinila na ako patayo.

Nagpatiunod nalang ako sakanya dahil alam kong wala naman na akong choice. May party kasi sa bahay nila Erika. Its Kuya DK and Erika's sixth anniversary together. Tumanggi na ako kay Erika the other day, ayoko lang talagang maglalalabas lately but then Tyler, being Tyler, I guess I dont really have a choice.

Habang nasa byahe ay panay ang daldal ni Ty. I, on the other hand, let myself drown with my own thoughts. Next week, 6th anniversary narin namin ni King. But I dont know if may plano na ba siyang umuwi for our anniversary. Parang wala naman kasi.

As usual he's always busy. With the company, that's what he said. But I know he's probably busy with Gelay. The lying didn't make it any less painful. But Im still holding on. Im fine, I can handle. I chanted inside my head.

Yeah. Im fine, I can handle.
