Innocent's Seductress (4th Gen #17)

Chapter 31

"Another scandal again, Ckim? You did not miss a single day not being in news. Wow, world record." Sarkastikong anas ni Venice ng bumisita siya dito.

"Haler, sila ang sumugod na lang. Alangan namang papatalo ako tapos ako pa 'tong kontrabida?" She rolled her eyes in irritation.

'Ckim Ferrera inaaway ang mga high school students dahil kay Heilan.' Basa niya sa headline.

Pinatay niya ang TV at sumimsim sa ginawang smoothie ni Venice. Si Klaz nasa trabaho, si Claudia ay papunta pa lang.

"Alam mo naman ang pinapasukan mo, 'di ba?"

"Ha? Ako kasi ang pinapasukan." Ngisi niya dito dahilan para batuhin siya nito ng lukot na tissue.

"But kidding aside, I know what am I doing and I'm already expecting that they'll react like that. Hindi ko nga lang ini-expect 'yong tipong susugurin ako. They're just so mad---"

"And they'll get more mad when they saw Heilan's IG post. Check it out!" Nagmamadaling saad ni Venice.

Kumunot naman ang noo niya at kinuha ang cellphone niya sa tabi at agad na pinindot ang Instagram. Wala namang nag-notify na naka-tag siya kaya hinanap na lang niya ang account ni Heilan.

He has a latest post, like a compilation post. And all those pictures are quite familiar.

The picture of bouquet of flowers he sent for the first time at her work. And it has caption,

'Lowkey <3 :* (☆^ー^☆)ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ'

May nabasa pa siyang comment na, mahilig ka pala sa symbols, Heilan!  But little did she know, it was emojis. Heilan is just so addicted with it.

And the next pictures is her but not really exposing her! May minsan nakatalikod siya habang nag-huhugas ng pinggan, may litarto na natutulog siya habang ang kumot ay nakatakip hanggang sa kalahati ng kanyang mukha. May litrato ring kamay niya lang, mata, labi na nakangiti. It wasn't obvious but everyone know that it was no other than her!

"I guess you'll be needing a security team." Venice smirked and sipped on her tea.

Hindi pa rin siya makapagsalita at paulit-ulit lang na tiningnan niya ang mga litratong hindi niya alam kinunan pala siya nito. She had no complain on the pictures, he's indeed a photographer, napakaganda ng kuha nito.

"Gosh, Heilan. I told him that we should stay lowkey." Anas niya.

Humalakhak si Venice at nilapag ang tea sa mesa.

"That's the lowkey-est the Benjamin could offer, Ckim Verly. What do you expect for a person who worshipped you? Ikakahiya ka?" Nakangising panunukso ni Venice.

"Well, I guess it's the right time to tell everybody. What do you think?" Baling niya kay Venice.

Napairap naman ito sa kanya. Saktong bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Claudia.

"Hindi rin kasi kita gets kung bakit mo nilo-lowkey ang relationship niyo. You should be proud, girl. You've been dreaming for it ever since." Palatak ni Venice.

"I just saw Heilan's post. So, ikaw pala ang nagyayang i-lowkey si Heilan?" Agad na tanong ni Claudia at umupo sa pang-isahang sofa.

"Mas masaya kasi kapag lowkey." Pagtataray niya.

Tinaasan lang siya ng kilay ng dalawa. Inirapan niya ang mga ito. They don't know her reasons why she kept their relationship private. Everyone was against their relationship and if she announced it too early, maraming susubok na manira. Alam rin naman niyang mabubunyag rin na sila kaya sasabihin na niya ngayon. At least nakapaghanda siya ng isang buwan.
