Fast As A Bullet (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 6

NATIGILAN si Jeremiah nang madatnan ang magaling niyang bodyguard na prenteng nakaupo sa sofa at nagbabasa ng magazine.

"Welcome, Sir," sabi ni Blaze na hindi man lang tumitingin kay Jeremiah.

Jeremiah pointed his finger to Blaze. "How did you get in?"

Tumingin si Blaze kay Jeremiah. Nagkibit siya ng balikat. "Have a guess." Aniya.

Naglakad si Jeremiah patungo sa likod ng mesa at umupo sa swivel chair. "Hindi ako manghuhula." He said in cold voice.

"I am too." Blaze replied.

"You..." Ibinaba ni Jeremiah ang dalirin na nakaturo kay Blaze. "Don't tell me you bribe the security."

"No. I don't have much money to bribe them. Hindi nga nila ako pinapasok dahil utos mo raw." Blaze sighed. "So, wala akong pagpipilian kung hindi gamitin ang exclusive elevator."

"What? Paano ka nakapasok roon? Paano mo nagamit? You don't have an access!"

"Don't be mad, Sir." Pagpapakalma ni Blaze kay Jeremiah. "Baka naman ma-highblood kayo niyan."

"Madali akong mamatay dahil sa 'yo!" Sikmat ni Jeremiah kay Blaze at napabuga siya ng hangin. "Are you really that talented that even you don't have an access, you can enter the door you want?"

Blaze tapped the bluetooth headset his wearing. "I have a helper."

"Commander, can you say 'tracker'?" Sabad ni Gabriel.

Blaze chuckled. "Sorry." Aniya. He looked at Jeremiah. "I have a tracker who can easily access your company's data and system."

"You better not," Jeremiah said. "But are you really a bodyguard? You looked skillful."

Blaze shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe yes. Maybe not." He continued reading the magazine he was holding.

Napabuga ng hangin si Jeremiah.

He pick up the telephone and called his secretary.

"Sir?"

"Get an access card for the exclusive elevator in the security office. Tell them I need it now." Seryosong sabi ni Jeremiah. His voice is slightly threatening.

"Yes, Sir."

Napailing si Blaze. "Ganiyan ka ba talaga makipag-usap sa mga empleyado mo? Para kang nagbabanta."

"At ganiyan ka rin ba makipag-usap sa boss mo? You sounded like you're questioning me." Jeremiah said and leaned on his swivel chair.

"Correction." Blaze stopped reading the magazine and looked at Jeremiah. "Your not my Boss."

"Then what?"

Blaze smiled. "Let just say, I'm protecting you because you need protection. I'm not your bodyguard." Isinara niya ang magazine na binabasa at tumayo. Naglakad siya palapit kay Jeremiah at tumayo sa harapan nito. "Before I stay quite at the corner of your office, let me ask you one question. I asked you about this once in the Sapphire Hotel."

"Say it."

"Ilang beses ng may nagtankang pumatay sa 'yo. So, I want to ask you, Mr. Lim, who wanted to kill you? Do you have any idea?" Blaze asked seriously and looked directly into Jeremiah's eyes.

"I don't have any idea," he answered and looked away.

Ngumiti si Blaze. "You're lying, Mr. Lim."

Ibinalik ni Jeremiah ang tingin kay Blaze. "How did you know?"

"You avoided my gaze." Blaze answered. "Mr. Lim, you better tell me the truth, para alam ko ang ginagawa ko."

"If you read my personal data, then you already encounter his name," Jeremiah said.
