Kyla's PoV

"Ba't ngayon ko lang kasi nabasa..." I hissed as I drove faster. Buti nalang ay wala nang gaanong bumabyahe ngayon kaya nakapagdrive ako ng mabilis.


I reached my destination, agad akong tumakbo papunta sa guard station ngunit walang tao roon, sarado na rin ang salamin. I knocked but no one showed up.


"Fuck... Hired na sana mauudlot pa." My eyes started to get teary. "Putangina.. sayang." I looked down as my tears dropped.


"Miss Kyla?" Napatingin ako sa sa tumawag sa akin, I saw the man whom I talk with earlier today. I quickly wiped my tears and ran to him.


"S-sir. I'm aware that I was very late... But please, tell me, am I hired? Am I accepted?" I asked teary. He smiled and held my shoulders.


"Not yet. Hinihintay kita na pumunta dito, I thought you were busy kaya hindi mo nabasa agad ang message ko, so, I waited for you to reply and to come here." He said, ginulo n'ya ang buhok ko na para bang matagal na kaming magkakilala. I blushed as I realize that he have a great mindset. "So, do you really want that position?" He asked.


I nodded. "I do, I fucki--- I mean, I really do." He smiled.


"Come with me." Even if curiosity swallowed my body, I still followed him. "The name's Kenneth Kim, by the way." He smiled.


"Uh.. Kyla Marie Sarcosta." I smiled back. He stopped in front of a car at sumandal doon. I just stared at him.


"We'll be waiting for the CEO. Hay, buhay.. naghintay na ako kanina, maghihintay pa ngayon." He chuckled.


"Oh, I'll be waiting too?" He nodded.


"Yes. Take it as your karma for making me wait." I awkwardly laughed. I just stood there overthinking about the job.


Pwede naman n'yang itext nalang kaysa pag-hintayin kami rito.


I crossed my arms on my chest and looked around the dark parking lot.


"How old are you?" Bigla n'yang tanong.


"Nineteen." Maikling sagot ko. "You?"


"Twenty-four." Tumango-tango ako. "Do you really want this job?"


"Yes." Agad kong sagot.


"Even if anything else happens?" I nodded repeatedly. He smiled. "Don't change your mind later-"


"I won't. I never will." He smirked.


"If you say so. I'm holding onto your words, don't let me down." Biglang lumiwanag ang parking lot nang may dumating na kotse. I felt Kenneth stood up and put his hands in his pocket.


Tinitigan ko ang kotse. I whistled.


"Nice, Bugatti La Voiture Noire. Halatang big time." I smirked. I heard Kenneth chuckle. I froze when the car stopped right in front of us.


A tall man wearing a hoodie stepped out of the car. Lumapit sa kanya si Kenneth at tumingin sa akin.


"She's the one." Sambit nito. Bumaling sa akin ang lalaki, even if he's wearing the hood, I can tell that he's looking at me from head to toe.


"Uhm, hi?" He started walking around me, sinundan ko s'ya ng tingin without moving my body but only my head. "Uh, K-kenneth?" I called as I start to get scared from this goddamn guy.


"Calm down, Miss Kyla. You'll be fine."


"Fine?! This creep is--"


"You're hired." Tipid na sambit nung lalaki na kanina pa ako tinitignan. "But not that fully."


Shuta-


"Kanina n'yo pa ako pinapaasa." I pouted and looked away.


"You only have one choice to be hired." I looked at him straight in the eye.


"I don't have any choice but to accept that choice, so tell me the choice to be my choice." Panggagago ko. I smirked as he looked at me.


"Sign that, then you're officially hired." I looked kung saan s'ya nakaturo, he was pointing at Kenneth who's now holding a paper and a pen.


Hinablot ko sa kanya ang mga hawak n'ya at binasa ang nilalaman ng papel na iyon.


Nanlaki ang mata ko nang bumungad ang malaking title sa taas.


"M-marriage Contract?" I whispered. "Haha, no, this can't be. Kulang lang ako sa tulog. Pwede ko pa naman s'yang ma-pirmahan bukas, 'di ba ehe?"


"No. What you're seeing now is right. It's now or never. Now, sign it and be hired or get lost." The guy said. I looked at the paper again.


Matthew and I... Someone has to get married to get what our parents left.






Should I sign it or not?
