Owned By The CEO

Chapter Eleven

I wake up ng mas maaga sa inalarm ko, o mas magandang sabihin na hindi talaga ako nakatulog?

"Hay, ano bang dapat mong itanong? At sa paanong paraan ka mag uumpisa?!" Tanong ko sa sarili ko.

Umupo ako sa pagkakahiga, "Kahit na hindi na tayo engage, I'm still care Chloe remember that."  napakamot nanaman ako ng ulo, Geez Chloe? What are you thingking ba?

Lumabas ako ng terrace, malamig yung hangin nakakarelief. Yung araw ay pasikat pa lang na naghahatid ng hope ng panibagong araw for us to live.

"No, backing out." Sabi ko sa sarili ko,

Kung ano man yung marinig kong sagot niya, I will stick to that. No more weak Chloe.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng room ko, I'm sitting in the edge ng bed. I saw shining metal sa floor, it's necklace! This necklace is sophiscated! there's moon and star na symbol sa loob ng circle, Hindi ko to napansin kagabi, Baka naiwanan lang to nila Candice o kaya ni Roxanne...

I texted sila Roxanne and Candice kung sino sa kanila yung nakaiwan ng necklace.

Aroung 6:30 I begin to prepared some of my stuff, ginawa ko ma yung morning rituals ko. I wear casual wear and light make-up. Perfect!

"Iha, magbreakfast ka muna." Sabi ni Manang Meds.

"Sige po, Manang." Sabi ko

Umupo na ako at nag umpisa ng kumain, hindi ko na nahintay sila Mom and Dad. Hindi kase morning person yun mga yun.

"Nanay Meds I'm going na." Paalam ko

Tumango-tango naman si Manang at nag wave ng good bye. I started the engine, after several minutes nasa parking lot na ako ng Madrid's.

Pagkapasok at the entrance, Jen approaches me.

"Chloe, how are you?" Tanong niya

Naflattered naman ako bigla, I know from the very start na she's nice employee.

"I'm great, thank you." sabi ko, flashing my very sweet smile.

I entered the elevator with some of the employees.

"Hay, grabe iba talaga pagmayayaman diba? Engage engage na lang ang peg." Sabi ng babae.

Ha? Bigla naman akong kinabahan, engagement?

"Hahahahaha! Ganun talaga kapag kailangang imerge, tska noh! Hindi na talo yung babaeng yun, ang hot kaya ni Sir." Sabi naman ng isang babae.

Nanatili akong nakikinig, I did'nt bothered to look at the girls that chatting at my back.

"I heard from the Macau daw yung girl Stanford's daw." Sagot naman ng isang babae.

My heart skip a beat, Sobrang bilis na ng tibok ng puso ko. There's something stabbed my heart.. what about Macau? and Stanford's daughter?

Ting!

The ladies left, at ako na lang mag-isa. My tears threatening me, but I refuse to let go. I stared at my reflection on the elevator's wall, umiling-iling ako..No, no more weak Chloe!  no, backing out.

Ting!

Mabilis akong naglakad patungo sa cubicle ko, I passed Thea sa pagmamadali. I want to clear something to him and I will doing it now.
Nilapag ko lang yung bag ko sa desk ko, then pumunta na agad sa CEO's office.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

  Walang sumasagot...
  I knocked againd and again..

"Chloebells, wala jan si Sir." mahinang sabi ni Thea.
