Chapter 02
7AM in the morning ay gising na ako but my lazy self is still on the bed, I want to sleep more but when I remember what Daddy told me yesterday ay mabilis akong napabangon.
My personal bodyguard will arrive today. How dare me, forgot about it. Paano kung nakarating na siya at mainip kahihintay? Gosh, nakakahiya!
I, may be rich and born with a golden spoon on my mouth but I know how to be a shame too at nakakahiyang paghintayin ang isang tao. I don't care kahit anong kinatatayuan niya sa buhay ko, I know how to respect people lalo na kung karespe-respeto.
I just tied my hair into a bun and wore a bra underneath my oversize shirt bago nagtungo sa banyo para gawin ang morning routine ko, para naman kahit wala pa akong ligo ay maging presentable at presko akong tingnan.
Paglabas sa bedroom ay hawak ko lang ang phone ko at binabasa ang schedule ko for today. Wala naman ako masyadong gagawin dahil naghahanap pa lang ako ng trabaho.
Nag angat ako ng tingin nang pababa na ako ng hagdan, a familiar built of a man caught my attention. He's simply sitting on the couch while talking to Nanay Rena.
Nakatalikod siya sa gawi ko kaya hindi niya napansin ang pag lapit ko but Nanay Rena instantly saw me walking towards them.
"O', narito na pala si Levanna, maiwan ko na muna kayo at ihahain ko lang ang almusal—"
"—No need, 'nay. Ako na po ang maghahain, magpahinga po muna kayo." I said while smiling at Nanay.
"Hindi. Maiwan ko na kayo, ako na ang maghahain," Napanguso nalang ako nang talikuran na kami ni Nanay hanggang sa nakalayo na.
My smile faded the moment I turned my gaze to Zaiker.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him, frankly.
His lips rose up, "To do my job, Ma'am."
Nameywang ako at walang hiyang tiningnan ang lalaking nasa harap ko mula ulo hanggang paa tapos balik ulit sa mukha niya.
He's wearing a casual clothes which is bad choice kasi mas lalo siyang naging gwapo.
"You're a businessman, hindi ikaw ang hinihintay kong panauhin, Zaiker. Hindi ako nakikipagbiruan." I said,
He bit his lower lip and tried to suppress a smile, "What if I tell you that the visitor you're expecting is me?"
Doon na kumunot ang noo ko, "Look, I'm not kidding—"
"—I'm telling the truth,"
"I'm expecting my personal bodyguard, do you understand?" I crossed my arm and eyed him sharply.
He sighed, "You can call your Dad to confirm it."
And like what he said, I found myself dialing my Dad's number and what a great timing it is—note the sarcasm please— Dad didn't answer my call.
It's either he's busy or he's avoiding me because he knows I will complain to him this time.
I sighed heavily, "Fine. I'll give you my schedule for this week, kapag hindi ako aalis ng bahay, day-off mo na rin 'yon, understood?"
"I won't follow your rule, your Dad is the one who hired me—"
"And I'm gonna be the one who will fire you if you won't follow my rules, there's an 's' because I have lots of rules, Zaiker." I said with finality.
"You can't fire me unless you have a report about my job—"
"I have a report. My bodyguard doesn't want to follow my rules. Is that enough so I could fire you immediately?" I arched a brow. Didn't want to step back and accept defeat.
