I saw how her body become stiff as if she didn't expect to hear those words from me. Nanatili ang ngisi sa mga labi ko, hindi nagpapakita ng kahit anong pagpapakumbaba sa harapan niya. Unless we're at fault, then I'm gonna ask for her mercy.

"You can't do that—"

"Try me, Mrs. Dela Fuente—"

"Excuse me, Ma'am Tate. Sorry to disturb your meeting but you have a personal visitor waiting for you..." si Abby matapos buksan ang pinto at idungaw ang ulo roon.

Personal visitor? Sino naman? Imposibleng si Cade 'yon. Abby would never address him that way. She used to call him Sir Cade.

"Sino daw?" tanong ko.

Bago pa man siya sumagot ay nakita ko na ang malaking bulto ni Zadriel sa likod niya. He's leaning against the doorway while hands on his slacks, eyes piercing into mine.

Kumurap-kurap ako.

What is this german size doing here? Kailan pa siya natutong pumunta dito sa opisina ko? Don't tell me he's too horny right now that he can't wait to settle a meet up with me any longer?

Nagtaas ako ng kilay sa kanya. His lips twitched, trying to show me a God-like smirk. The bastard became even more gorgeous and sexy on his white button down shirt that hugs his well-cut body.

Sige na nga. Puwede naman kami dito sa office. Sa ibabaw ng table.

"Let him in," sabi ko kay Abby na may nangaasar na tingin para sa akin.

I know what her mind is up to. She has already met Zadriel way back when we're in Diarrhea's house. Alam niyang boyfriend ito ng babae kaya siguradong nagtataka siya kung anong ginagawa nito dito.

"Yes, Ma'am."

Lumingon siya sa likod niya at hinarap si Zadriel. Zadriel just only gave her a light smile and went inside. After silently closing the door, he looked at me and I just pointed the couch. Tumango siya, alam na ang dapat gawin. I watched him walk towards it until he's done settling himself.

Firm thighs spread apart, he almost took the whole couch. Sa laking tao niya, hindi na ako nagtataka pa. Wala nga siyang kahirap-hirap kapag isinasalya ako sa kama.

"You can't stop the renovation, Miss Follosco. We have a deal!"

Ay? Narito pa pala itong matandang ito.

Tamad kong ibinaling ang paningin sa kanya. Nanglilisik pa rin ang kanyang mga mata at tila ba handa na akong sakmalin ano mang oras.

"And that deal is useless. I didn't ask you to sign a contract, remember?"

"Even so! You still have to finish renovating my house!"

"Sige. Basta iaatras mo ang demanda sa taong nilait-lait mo?"

"What? No way!"

"Then get out-"

"What's wrong?" si Zadriel na hindi na napigilan ang makitsismis.

Umikot ang mga mata ko at tiningnan siya na nakapalumbaba habang nakatitig sa akin. Kulang na lang sa kanya ay mic at tape recorder, Boy Abunda na talaga ang dating niya.

"This is the client I'm talking about the other day, Zad."

"The one who wants to file a case against your supplier."

"Yeah."

"Mr. Monasterio, gagawin ko lang naman iyon dahil sinagot-sagot niya rin ako ng pabalang. As a customer, I cannot accept that!"
