CHAPTER 7

MABILIS ang galaw ng mga daliri ni Lockett sa keyboard ng laptop niya habang tinitipa ang pangalang Creed Santillana sa Google Image search box. Nagbabakasakali siya na may larawan ito roon dahil mukhang sikat naman ito.

Abot-abot ang kaba na nararamdaman niya habang hinihintay na lumabas ang mga larawan ni Creed.

Her breath was caught on her throat and she feels like someone poured her a freezing cold bucket of water when different pictures of Red popped out on Google image.

"Oh my goodness..." She muttered under her breath. "This is not happening to me..."

She clicked the web in Google to read his biography.

Creed Santillana is the most sought after bachelor in Asia. He's a very excellent and well-known photographer of National Geographic Channel. He was born on December 3, 1983. He is the most outstanding photographer in Asia and is now competing for the best photographer in the world.

He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Clave Santillana, the CEO and owner of Santillana chain of Hotel and Resorts in Asia.

Mabilis na isinara niya ang laptop. Hindi na niya tinapos ang pagbabasa sa biography nito. Nasu-suffocate siya habang nagbabasa. Parang hindi siya makahinga.

Lockett can’t believe she's this stupid! Bakit ba hindi niya napansin na magka-apelyido ito at ng boss niya? At bakit ba hindi niya inalam ang mukha ng Creed na iyon bago niya pinaalam sa mga magulang niya at kay Red na boyfriend niya ito? Urgh!

I can’t believe this! This is so not happening to me right now! This is too humiliating for her! She is so stupid!

And to put an icing on her humiliation cake, yesterday, Mr. Santillana called her. He was asking if she can teach his son how to manage a hotel. Of course she said yes! Kung alam lang niya na ang anak nito at si Red ay iisa, nunkang papayag siya!

Huminga siya ng malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili.

Napaigtad siya ng makarinig ng sunod-sunod na malakas na katok galing pintuan ng penthouse.

She cautiously walked to the door and opened it. Her heart dropped when she saw Red. Mabilis na isinara niya ang pinto pero naharang naman nito iyon ng braso nito.

"Aray!" Sigaw ni Red. "Open the door, damn it!"

"No!" Balik na sigaw niya at mas inipit pa lalo ang braso nito. "Get out of my room!"

"I'm not even in yet." Wika ni Red na halata sa boses nito na nasasaktan. "Let me in, girlfriend."

Nang marinig ang salitang girlfriend, kinutusan niya ang sarili. Bakit ba kasi sinabi niya rito na boyfriend niya si Creed without knowing Creed Santillana's background? How can she be so stupid? Gusto niyang sabunutan ang sarili sa katangahang ginawa.

Napasigaw siya sa gulat ng biglang itulak ni Red ang pintuan, dahilan para mawala ang balanse niya at sumubsob siya sa sahig.

Lockett glared at Red who enters the penthouse like it was his.

"Can you please give me a break?" She said, gritting her teeth.

Red looked down at her. "You're cute while sitting there, but," he offered his hand to her, "you're cuter when you’re standing."

Tinabig niya ang nakalahad nitong kamay at tumayo siya. Pinagpag niya ang pang-upo at pinukol ng masamang tingin ang binata. "Get out!"

Red shook his head. "Nope. Not happening." He walked towards the living room. "This is me, entering your penthouse, no scratch that, this is me, entering the penthouse that may father made for me." He grinned at her like a Cheshire cat.
