My 7 Secret Husbands

Chapter 16

Seth's POV

"Phoenix, have you talked to your dad?" I asked before sipping another gulp of coffee.

"Talked about what?" He asked.

"Oh come on, young man! About how your business can help?!" I semi-shouted in frustration.

"Yeah. Dad said it will be perfect." Sabi niya.

"Does he know who this woman is?" I asked him again.

"No. But he knows that this partnership will do good for the company." He answered.

Malalaman at malalaman din lang naman niya.

Bianca's POV

"Bianca, my queen." Tawag sa akin ni Brent. Lumapit naman ako at patamad na umupo sa couch. "Pupunta ka ng New York bukas. Bumalik na daw siya doon."

"Anong gagawin ko?" Tanong ko.

"You'll have to make a business deal with her. Kasama mo naman si Phoenix eh." Sabi niya.

"Para saan?" I asked.

"Para mapabagsak natin ang kompanya niya."

"Hindi ko naman alam ang sasabihin ko. I'm going to take Psychology, not Business Management." Sabi ko.

"That is why you'll have to wear this earpiece." Then he handed me an earpiece. "Yung kapares niyan ay nakay Phoenix na. Pack your things now at aalis na kayo bukas."

"Hindi niya ba ako makikilala?" Tanong ko.

"Mahihirapan siya. Madalim sa bar na yun diba? Matagal na din naman since the last time she saw you. Ilang taon ka palang noon?"

"16? 17?" Sabi ko.

"Good. Malaki ka na ngayon at madami na ang nagbagong mga physical features mo." Sabi niya. "Now you will have to be a person who makes negotations to the next clients and business partners of Paxton Mall Company."

"Hindi niya ba makikilala si Phoenix?" I asked.

"Hindi, he was not there when she did what she had done." Sabi niya. Tumango na lang ako.

"Should I wear some disguise?" I asked. "I mean, baka mamukahan niya ako?"

"Yes. May mga pekeng nunal, pekeng birthmarks at mga pekeng scars ka diyan sa bag. May mga prosthetics ka din diyan. Yung baklang nag-ayos sayo noong pupunta ka sa bar ang sasama din sa inyo para ayusin ang disguise mo." He said.

Yung bakla talaga? I gave him an annoyed look.

He came closer to my face and smiled. "Ayaw mo ba yung baklang yun?"

Nagpull away naman ako kaagad. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I don't know why. "Ayoko yun!" Sabi ko at nag-iwas ng tingin.

"Well, he'll be with you." Sabi niya. "Sige na pupunta pa ako sa meeting namin." At umalis na siya.

Umalis na kami nina Phoenix at pumunta na sa New York. Lumapag kami sa isang airline. Sky Airflight. By the way, nag-airplane na kami this time kasi, as in, super malayo na!

We went to our hotel where we took a rest for a while. Phoenix is a little weird. Hindi siya nagsasalita o kung ano man. He's now sitting on the window seat watching the lights of New York. Yung bakla naman ay lumabas na naka-two piece, magswiswimming daw. Lumapit ako sa kanya.

"Kinakabahan ka din ba?" Tanong ko.

"No, not really. Why did you ask?"

"Para kasing wala ka sa sarili mo."
