Hopeless In New York ( Monterèal Series #1 Book 2 )

Chapter 21

24th Of October

Maybe, maybe Hillary is right, I can only give him the comfort he needs but not the power Amanda could give. It was a slap of reality, indeed pero naliwanagan din ako na papakasalan niya si Amanda for greater power. If he marries her, their company will expand. If she marries him, it will fulfill the role she wants of being a wife and a mother.

" Maybe you're too naive to know on how life works. Great  Success comes with greater compromise "

Theo is getting married today, Via Amanda will officially be Mrs. Theodore Gideon Monterèal. And I'm in a mess.

I wore this all black bubble tube dress, Matched it with red lipstick and black sunglasses, oo, araw ng pagluluksa ngayon.

" Sapph, I suggest mag out of town muna kayo ni France hanggang sa katapusan " suhestiyon ni Anne. Trying to conceal the fact that she has to attend his cousin's wedding.

Umiling ako. " No we can't. I have to run some errands today "

" Pero Sapph--- "

Pinigilan ko siya at ngumiti " It's okay, Anne, really "

May ilang minuto pa ako bago pumunta sa office kaya naupo muna ako sa harap ng glass wall sa kwarto ko. I was in my deep thoughts nang biglang magring ang phone ko.

" Hello? "

"......"

" Who's this? "

"......."

" Hello? Hello! "

"......."

Sumasakit na ang dibdib ko, nagbabadya na ang mga luha ko sa mata. I remained silent, tinignan ko ang linya, it's not yet disconnected.

" I know you're feeling sorry for me, Theo, but you don't have to. I know from the start that I can only give you comfort not the power you need. It was more than enough to know that deep inside your stone cold heart... you've still chose me"

" Best wishes " then I cut the line between us.

Alam ko, hindi bagay maging martyr, pero kapag mahal mo diba dapat pinaglalaban mo? But if holding on hurts much more than letting go, Sino naman ang pipili pang masaktan ng sobra?

Now I'm getting convinced na pinagtagpo lang kami pero hindi itinadhana, might as well ipakilala ko na din si Via Amada as his step mom.

I came to Verdana, this is a usual day for us pero tila may kakaiba sa araw na to'. Everyone greeted me as usual, Pinuntahan ko agad ang office ni Alex.

" Oh Sapph, what a pleasant surprise, akala ko magbibiyernes santo ka ngayon " aniya.

I smiled at him. " I accept the offer of Tori Anderson " I said without hesitations.

Medyo natulala pa siya for the first five minutes pero nang kalaunan ay nagtatalon sa saya.

" Oh my gosh bakla! You just came in the right time! Makakasama ka pa sa Fashion show nila sa December! "

Hinila niya ako palabas ng opisina
" Okay, pupunta tayo kay Gustav para mapirmahan mo na ang one year contract, may fittings ka rin next week for your costume " excited niyang sambit.
