The Aftermath of Pleasure (SPG)

Chapter Eighteen

SPG

Ganoon ang naging routine ko. It's been almost a week now.

Everyday, I'd storm inside Zachary's office and I'd grump my way through lunch. He would occasionally talk about stuff. I kept my answers short.

He's probably making me suffer. It's already hell enough to eat lunch with him every single day. He didn't miss a single one, kahit may "importanteng" meeting. Pagkatapos namang kumain ay agad akong aalis nang hindi nagpapaalam. Wala naman siyang reaksyon tungkol doon.

Zachary cleared his throat. Nag angat ako ng tingin sa kanya at tinaasan siya ng kilay. He was intently looking at me. I shuddered internally at that.

"What?" I snapped.

Like the normal routine, the two of us were inside his office, eating lunch.

Bumaba ang kanyang tingin sa aking plato at ngumuso. Napatingin din ako doon.

"You're not eating your vegetables," He commented.

The vegetables were indeed untouched. Nasanay ako ng fried meals abroad dahil mas convenient ito but I always made sure Lascaux had his daily dose of vegetables and fruits.

Hindi ko siya sinagot. I continued to slice the beef steak para bwisitin siya. He asked for this, anyway.

Narinig ko ang malakas nitong buntong hininga.

"It doesn't matter. Kung kakain ako o hindi, labas ka na 'dun." I sarcastically said.

His brows shot up at nagtiim ang kanyang bagang. Gusto kong matawa sa reaksyon niya. Galit agad, sir?

"It is my business. Empleyado kita, If you don't eat healthily, it'd be a liability on my part."

"Yeah, right." I mockingly laughed. "Thanks, pero hindi ko kailangan ang concern mo. You can just give it to other people. I assume you have a girlfriend?"

He openly glared at me.

"I don't have one." Seryoso niyang sambit.

"Oh, don't make me laugh"

"You don't talk to your boss like that."

We openly glared at each other. Wala akong pakialam kung may girlfriend siya o wala! But it's so low of him to deny his girls. Ginawa nga akong kabit, eh. Surely his need for physical pleasure drives him still.

Tulad ng kinagawian, umalis ako nang walang pasabi pagkatapos ubusin ang steak. I did not eat the vegetables para bwisitin siya.

"Thalia!" Si Balti na malaki ang ngisi pagkapasok ko pa lang sa office. Nakasandal siya sa table ko at para bang inasikaso niya ang isang toreng papel na nakalatag doon bago ako pumasok.

Balthazar is one of the senior accountants who is currently helping me set up. Kapag may inaasikaso si Rose at Danielle, Balti would be nice enough to assist me kahit na mas mataas pa ata ang posisyon niya sa akin.

Balti's mestizo complexion lit up nang ngumiti ako sa kanya pabalik. For the past week, medyo naging komportable narin ako sa office and Balti was among my first acquaintances.

"I just came to deliver some paperworks," Aniya sa matigas na ingles. Sabay naming dinungaw ang nakalatag sa lamesa.

"Are these the finance documents? I'm supposed to provide the inputs, right?" Tanong ko at lumapit sa kanya.

"Nope," aniya, "Actually, signature mo lang. You just need to skim and scan before signing."

Kumunot ang noo ko at dinungaw ang unang papel na nandoon.

"Isn't this supposed to be signed by Mr. Corpuz?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.

"Hindi ko rin alam, eh. Just following orders!" Ani Balti at tinaas pa ang dalawang kamay, na para bang dine dispensahan ang sarili. Humalakhak ako.

I bent over to examine the first paper nang naramdaman ko ang paglapit ni Balti. He's a bit touchy but I don't really care for it. He leaned towards me and took a pencil galing sa kung saan.

"Here are the inputs you should review," Aniya. I noticed that he was standing really close, I can almost feel his breath. "And you are to sign here once authorized." He added and tapped the pencil on the area.

"Okay, thanks!" Bumaling ako sa kanya.

"No problem—"

"What is this?" A deep voice cut in, dahilan kung bakit hindi natapos ni Balti ang sasabihin.

Sabay kaming napabaling sa nakatayong si Zach sa may pintuan. Nakaangat ang kilay nito habang nakatingin sa amin. His aura screamed of danger.

"Sir—" I began.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Fallore?" Direkta niyang tanong. His lips were set in a grim line. "I don't remember assigning you here."

Napabaling ako kay Balti, who now looks very intimidated and awkward.

"Sir, I'm only a substitute of Danielle. May inasikaso lang."

Zach's eyes remained on him for a moment before it drifted to me. His eyes bore into me intensely, that if only looks could kill, I'd be on fire now.

Nagtiim siya ng bagang.

"You may leave, Mr. Fallore," He paused.

Balti did not waste any second. Mabilis siyang umalis sa office. I internally squirmed at how Zachary followed Balti with his gaze. Nang nakalabas ito ay dahan-dahan niyang sinara ang pinto.

I fucking heard the lock click.

Unti-unti siyang bumaling sa akin gamit ang mga matang tila tumatagos sa kaluluwa. His dark, intense gazes lead my heart to hammer furiously inside my chest.

"Flirting with the accountants, huh?" His velvet voice echoed into the room.

"Mr. Corpuz, what I do inside my office is none of your c-concern." I kept a straight face kahit na gusto nang matunaw bg aking mga paa.

"It's none of my business, alright..." He laughed mockingly at unti-unting lumapit.

His strides were powerful and intense as he walked towards me, his dark, chocolate eyes staring back at me.

I felt disappointed when he stopped inches away from me.

Why so far, Zach?

His hand slowly rested on my table as he stared at me. His muscle flexed a little in his rolled up polo sleeve.

"What did he do, Thalia? Did he take you to dinner? Did he buy you pretty gifts?" His voice sounded so luscious with every word he uttered.

"Answer me," Aniya, moving a little closer.

My breathing hitched. Pakiramdam ko ay lalagnatin ako sa bawat hakbang niya patungo sa akin.

"I said, answer me, Thalia Cecilia..." He whispered, finally reaching me. His breath fanned against my neck and it sent tingles down my spine.

"N-No," I answered, barely even a huff in the air.

"Hmmm..." Ang kanyang kamay ay unti-unting naglakbay sa aking baywang. "Did he touch you like this?" Tanong nito bago iyon hinimas ng isang beses.

"N-No,"

I heard him huff one breath of laughter as he stroked my hip. His hand traveled towards the side of my boob. My breathing hitched and my legs felt like they were made of jell-o

"Did he make you feel like this?" Aniya, his large, calloused hand now gently stroking my side boob.

Hindi ako makasagot. I could only ever feel the sensation. Its like all the pleasure in the world came back to me at once, lahat ng ala-alang pilit na kinakalimutan ay bumabalik, just by the touch of his gentle hand.

"Does he own you, Thalia?" He whispered.

"No, Zachary!" I breathed out.

I was shocked by his next move. Expecting he'd come closer, he stepped away from me. His intense stares never left me as I tried to catch my breath.

"Good. No one should own you except me." Aniya bago naglakad palayo.
