Married Overnight (BOOK 1)

Valentines Day and Belle's Obsession

(Zach's POV)

Early in the morning, Ellie informed me na ma-eextend ang filming nila sa Vigan for another week. I felt dejected because of it at nakakawalang ganang pumasok sa office at kung hindi dahil kay Belle, siguradong nasa kama parin ako ngayon.

"Kuya, bat hindi mo pa ginagalaw ang kape mo? lumalamig na yan." paalala ni Eric nang mapansing nakatulala ako lang ako kanina pa.

"May iniisip lang" tipid ko namang sagot at ininom ang kape ko na malamig na. Agad naman itong kinuha ni Eric para i-preheat.

"Si Mam Ellie ba? diba uuwi na sya bukas?" he asked.

"Sana, but her filming got extended" sagot ko naman. nakakapanghinayang talaga, lalo pa't Valentines day bukas.

"eh anong binubusangot mo dyan?"

"I'm stuck with work" sagot ko habang pinapagulong-gulong yung sausage sa plato ko.

"Di mo naman iniisip yan noon, pwede mo namang dalhin yung trabaho mo at diba, kaya naman ni Ms. Amber yun?" He said giving me an idea but I don' t think it's convinient right now.

"Ready kana ba Zach? sabay na tayo sa office?" Belle suddenly came.

"Hindi kana ba magbebreakfast?" tanong ko sakanya.

"No, I already had my coffee" sagot nya naman kaya hindi ko na pinatapos ang breakfast ko.

I asked a driver na ihatid kami sa office, wala talaga ako sa mood para mag-drive.

"Pagod na pagod ka ata? Did you work all night" tanong naman ni Belle at tumango lang ako.

I really wanted to see Ellie but my work is keeping me from seeing her.

"Ahmm...About the research, we can already wrap it up right?" tanong ko sakanya.

"Yeah, thanks to you... the research is a huge success again, sana wala nang mangyari" she said.

"We have 24 hours until the launching, do you think you can handle it?" tanong ko naman ulit.

"Of course, James and I can do it.. may importanteng meeting ka ba?" she said and I just nodded.

 Maybe it won't hurt to go and just see Ellie, diba? 

Pagdating sa harap ng office ay agad  naman bumaba si Belle ng sasakyan and after debating on my dilemma, I decided to  just go. I'm sure It won't hurt me kahit ngayon lang.

"Aren't you coming?" tanong ni Belle na nagtataka kung bakit hindi pa ako bumababa.

"I have an important appointment outside, See you later" paalam ko naman sakanya then I asked my driver na dumiretso na sa airport and called Amber to book me a flight.

(Belle's POV)

Zach just drop me off the office at agad umalis, ni hindi ko man lang alam kung saan sya pupunta. Maybe it's really important that he didn't even say where he's going.

Nakasalubong ko naman si James sa harap ng elevator na kakarating lang din.

"Good morning Ms. Belle, mag-isa ka ata? si Sir Zach? di kayo sabay?" he asked nang sumakay na kami sa elevator.

"May meeting sya sa labas, hinatid nya lang ako." paliwanag ko naman.

"Tuwang-tuwa ka naman?" he said  teasing me.

"I heard matatagalan pa si Ellie sa Vigan" sabi ko, narinig ko kasi silang naguusap ni Eric kanina over breakfast.

"I'm sure na tuwang-tuwa ka naman. Eh ano naman ang reaksyon ni sir Zach?"
