CHAPTER 5
“What time do you usually time out?” He asked. Medyo naguguluhan padin ako habang nakatitig sa repleksyon niya sa elevator.
“I’m sorry, but what’s happening? Pinapatawag ba ako ni madam Lorieane?” I asked trying to know what the hell is happening.
“It’s already 7 pm, let’s go.” Sabi niya matapos tignan ang oras sa mamahaling relo niya.
The elevator door opened to the basement where the parking was. Before he could get out, I held his arm to catch his attention. Parang napaso na binawi ko din ang kamay.
“S-sorry, pero pwede bang ipaliwanag mo ang nangyayari?” I patiently said.
“We’re going to shop for perfumes boss.”
He opened the door where the passenger seat was and waited for me to come in.
“Shop for perfume? For what? Anong kinalaman ko dito Ali?”
“You didn’t like mine right? So choose for me.” He held my back to make me go inside. Naisara na niya ang pinto nang ma-realize kung gaano ka weird ang nangyayare.
Anong-bakit ako ang pipili?!
He placed my bag and my things on the back of his midnight-blue Maserati. Then he went inside and drove to i-don’t-know-where.
“Can’t you buy on your own? Bakit kasama ako? I still have things to do.”
“What if you didn’t like what I bought? It’s a waste of money and time Yanni.” He answered as he park his car in a well-known business district.
He looked back as he parked, one hand on the steering wheel and the other at the back of my seat for support. Parang sanay na sanay ito at propesyonal na minamaniubra ang kaniyang kotse. His arms looked…good-
Excuse me? Yanni what the hell?!
Focus!
“Why do I have to like it?”
“I’ll be your trainee for the following days, isn’t it? Now let’s go because I’m also hungry.” Aniya at lumabas na ng sasakyan.
Binigay niya sa akin ang bag ko at naglakad kami papasok sa isang sikat na brand. I earn just enough to afford the luxury brands at least once or twice a year, but I solemnly do so because I’d rather spend that money to my two siblings.
“How about this?” May nilapit siyang pabango sa ilong ko at napabahing naman ako.
Ang tapang!
“I guess it’s a no.” He asked for another set sa saleslady.
After a while, he sprayed a perfume on his neck and went near me. “How about this one?”
He sat next to me on the boutique’s sofa and went closer. Napatitig ako sa panga niya na parang ang perpekto ng hubog. He also has small stubbles and it seems like he keeps it that way.
“It smells good.” I finally said after sinfully checking him out.
Maya maya ay hindi pa siya nakuntento at nagtingin tingin pa ng dress shirt. He called for me in the fitting area and showed himself wearing a baby blue polo. May nakapatong pa na black vest. “How’s this?” He asked.
After a long scolding from myself, I nodded and said it looked good.
What are we doing? We’re not in a romance movie kaya bakit sinasamahan ko siya ngayon mamili ng mga damit at gamit niya na para bang may makeover na nagaganap?
