"You don't have work today, Ada?" he raised his brow.
"I have. Why?" kumunot ang noo ko.
Hindi naman ako nawawalan ng trabaho. Araw-araw may trabaho ako.
"I bet you're late." he smirked.
"Do you want me to leave?" I asked.
I don't know what to do if he say yes.
"Hell no! Come on, I'm just asking." he tilted his head.
Inirapan ko siya dahilan para matawa siya. Lumapit siya sakin para mayakap ako galing sa likod habang inaamoy ang aking buhok. Naligo ako after namin kumain ng breakfast. And yes, I am wearing his boxer and shirt right now.
My mouth widen when I remember the question I am eager to ask him. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya para makawala ako sa yakap niya. Nang hinarap ko siya ay nakataas ang kilay niya at tila nagtataka kung bakit inalis ko ang kamay niya.
"I have a question." I said.
"What question?" sabi niya, nakataas ang kilay.
"How come you know my name?" It is almost a whisper.
Ngumisi siya sa tanong ko. I raise my brow and move away when he tried to touch me. Kumunot ang noo niya sa ginawa kong pag-iwas. Kung hindi niya sasagotin ang tanong ko, hindi ko siya papayagang hawakan ako.
"Ada, come on. Are we going to fight for this?"
Tumango ako sa tanong niya.
"Does it really matter?" he asked again.
"Of course, it is!" I shouted.
"Don't shout, please..." he reached for my hand.
Hinawi ko ang kamay niya dahilan para malaglag ang panga niya. I look at him stubbornly. Ang dali-dali lang ng tanong ko, bakit hindi niya masagot? Is he hiding something from me?
"Sagutin mo muna ang tanong ko." I told him.
He sighed before he nodded.
"Acantho Dauntless B. Lopez, the heiress of Lopez Corporation and the daughter of David Regan C. Lopez. One of the youngest and successful businesswoman. A CEO of ADL clothing line and ADL company. At the age of 18, she is already a CEO of her own company. She graduated in University Of Canada and also did her master's degree in United Kingdom. She is a highschool valedictorian and graduated as Summa Cum Laude." he smirked after saying that.
My mouth widened and shock is evident in my face right now. What the hell! Humalakhak siya ng makita ang reaksyon ko. Hindi makapaniwalang tinignan ko siya habang umiiling. He surely read my magazine.
"What the hell, Nav!" hinampas ko ang braso niya.
Tumawa siya saka niyakap ako ng mahigpit. I can't believe this. Although hindi na naman talaga nakakapagtaka na kilala niya ako. Bukod sa kilalang business tycoon ang daddy ko, masasabi ko ring kilala ako sa business world dahil sa mga nagawa ko. I just can't believe na kilala niya ako. It seems so impossible.
"I'm so proud of you, Ma'am." hinalikan niya ang pisnge ko.
For the first time in my life, I feel so proud of what I achieved. Hearing those words from him is very comforting. Makes me want to achieve more to hear him say that again.
"Thank you so much, Nav." I hug him tight.
I planned to took business in college so I could manage our company in the future. Hindi ko lang inaasahan na mamahalin ko ang business. At the age of 16, I planned to create my own company. But of coure, with the help of my father. Nakipagdeal ako sakanya na pautangin ako para makapagpatayo ng kompanya. At mabait ang diyos dahil lumago ito kaya nabayaran ko si daddy. ADL Company is a company that sells and produce cloth, shoes and furniture. Mas lumago ito when I was 21, kaya itinayo ko ang ADL clothing line. I love designing clothes kaya ito agad ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. I took one year classes in France para kahit papano ay may alam ako.
