Chapter 38: Powerpoint

Trevor's Point of View

I like Gulf so much. I'm also starting to get annoyed with Mew because he doesn't want to give Gulf the annulment that he wants.

The night Gulf and I met at Jones Bridge was a night I will never forget in my life. Our encounter was brief. But Gulf hit me hard. That's how strong his impact was to me.

He looked so fragile. But I knew that deep inside, he was strong.

But after that night, I never saw him again. I did not get his name so I could not do anything to find him.

Until we met again. In the elevator on his first day at work.

Five years was a long time. When I laid my eyes on him, I knew that he was familiar. But I was not sure if it was really him. But when he asked me if it was me on the bridge, my hunch was confirmed. It was really him.

I was surprised when he kissed me. But that moment felt so magical. His soft lips crashing into mine. What a feeling!

And when I found out that he was Mew's husband, I got angry. When Mew was still the CEO and COO, he scolded me many times. Not just me. He was hot-headed and easily gets angry at his subordinates. And it all started five years ago.

He used to be easy to get along with, but after that night at the bridge, he started to become ruthless. When I found out Gulf was his husband, I was able to patch it all up.

I had to research to find out why they broke up. I found out that the day they separated was the very day Gulf's ex-boyfriend died. I also saw a picture of Mew and Tommy kissing that circulated at the same night.

I patched everything up. Gulf was in Spain taking care of his ex-lover turned friend who was dying but he came to the Philippines only to find out that Mew was cheating.

I resented that. Mew does not deserve Gulf, that is why I have to make sure that they don't get back together.

"I know you like Gulf," Tommy, one of the company's board members, approached me while I was buying drinks in the cafeteria.

Gulf's first presentation to the board will be this afternoon.

"Mind your own business,"I answered him. We have nothing to talk about.

But he did not stop.

"I have a proposal." He came closer to me.

"What is it?"

"You like Gulf and I like Mew. We both know that Mew is still chasing Gulf and Gulf still has feelings for Mew."

"So? What do you propose?" I frowned.

"We will work together to make sure they won't get back together."

His offer was very tempting.

"How?"

"We will get between them. You will focus on Gulf and I will focus on Mew. Later, as you go down the elevator to the board room, tell me so that I will tell Mew that the meeting is starting soon. Mew will have a meeting with the accountant so he will be on the 42nd floor. Before the door opens you will kiss Gulf for Mew to witness."

"That's easy. I can do that. Is that all?"

"Try to mention that you saw us fucking in his office."

"But I haven't seen anything like that. Wait, are you guys together?"

"Mew and I aren't together yet. But we would have already been if Gulf did not come back. I can't convince Mew to have sex with me. His ex is really messing with my plans."
