When The Ice Melts - (profxstud)

Chapter 43

"Ma'am" Ani ng sekretarya ko.

"Wala pa bang balita?" Tanong ko habang naka upo sa swivel chair ko.

"Wala po talaga ma'am. Even our best hackers and investigators can't track them" Malumay nito na saad.

"You can go now" I dismissed her.

Napa sabunot ako sa sarili ko dahil sa stress at problema.

I don't have time for this! I don't want to disturb Jet. He's also busy.

I don't want my family to know about this. Ngayon lang sila nakaka pahinga. I don't want them na mag-alala.

My friends.....no. They don't have to know about this.

I can only think of one person to ask for help..

Uzon.

I remember that one time when we were together.. Hindi ako nagpaalam sa kanya na may pupuntahan ako and she tracked my phone in an instant..

But why would i?

Napakagat ako sa ilalim na labi ko knowing I don't have a fucking choice.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number. I hope she still uses the same one.

"Hello?" Napasinghap ako. Her hoarse voice welcomed me.

I cleared my throat before speaking.

"Hi—"

"Holy shit! Ylliana?!" Pinutol nya ang sasabihin ko ng sumigaw ito.

"Come here. Funtamuerte's 3rd company, asap" Saad ko at hindi na hinintay pa ang reply nito.

Ilang minuto ay nagpaalam ang aking sekretarya kung pwede ba itong pumasok.

"Let her come in" Saad ko. Narinig ko namn ang faint na 'you can go now miss' ng sekretarya ko.

Hinintay ko na magbukas ang pinto and there she is the goddess— the devil of my life.

Nakangisi ulit.

"Namiss mo'ko no?" She smugly asked as she sat down.

"Kapal. I just need your help" Inirapan ko ito.

"Why? Can't pleasure yourself— Aray!" Putangina ano daw?!

Hindi nya natapos ang kanyang nasabi dahil binato ko sa kanya ng ballpen na hinahawakan ko.

"Ang violent naman mahal" Napakagat ako sa'king ilalim na labi pero natauhan rin ako.

"Hindi landi mo ang kailangan ko Uzon" I stared as her.

"Then what?" She leaned in.

I leaned back and held a paper to her face.

Kinuha nya naman ito despite of her confused face.

"I need your help to track a thieve in my company" Monotone ko na saad.

"Ito lang ba? Chos easy peasy" Ngumisi ito at hinarap sa kanya ang laptop ko.

But she stopped midway.

"I'll help you, but i want something in return" She uttered.

Tinaas ko sya ng kilay.

"Name your price—" She cut me off.

"It's not money i want Ylliana" Prangkang saad nito.

"Then what?" I asked. I can give her anything naman, so it's not a problem.

"You" Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"I'm sorry, what?" I muttered.

"I want you" She said which caught me off guard.
