Ruthless

Chapter 29

Slave

The view from Alzeth's building was simply astonishing. The walls are made of glass and you can see the skyscrapers outside. I bet maganda rito kapag gabi.

I am paying him a surprise visit. Ang alam niya hindi ako free this weekend.

Ipinagluto ko siya ng pasta na nakalagay paper bag na dala ko.

Sinalubong ako ni Con, ang secretary niya na minsan kong pinagselosan. Malaki ang ngisi niya pagkakita sa akin. Alzeth introduced me to her upang hindi na ako magselos. Nagkasakit muli ang kapatid niya kaya siya ulit ang secretary pansamantala ni Alzeth.

"Naku, bugnutin 'yan ngayon, doktora. Alam niya kasing hindi kayo magkikita." kwento sa akin ni Con.

"Iwan ko muna itong food dito. Paki-init na muna and that's good for 4 persons. Pasok na muna ako..."

Pang-dalawang tao kung kumain ng pasta si Alzeth kaya marami talaga ang niluto ko.

Pinihit ko ang pintuan at pumasok na.  Imbes na siya ang magulat, ako ang nagulat. Muntik na akong mabuwal sa kinatatayuan ko.

A girl with a short shair, morena skin and wearing a skimpy yellow dress was sitting on his table. Mabilis na bumaba ang babae. I know this girl! She's a beach--I mean a girl I met at the beach.

I envied her for having very Pinay features. I won't forget her hair, short and very black. Yellow must be her favorite color, the last time ganoon din ang suot niya.

"You're here," Nilapitan ako ni Alzeth at hinapit ang baywang. Pinagtaasan ako ng kilay ng babae. Tinignan ko siya.

Oh, girl your brows are too light for your hair at hindi yata naiblend ng maigi ang blush on mo.

This is so wrong but I can't stop judging the girl. I feel so evil.

"Ellie, this is Ms. Rivera, our client. Ms.Rivera, ahh what is your name again?"

I smirked. He can't even remember her name. The only name he won't forget is the one he knows even the meaning. Am I right, love? I almost gave an evil smirk.

"Faye," confident na sabi ng babae at naglahad ng kamy. 'C'mon, Ellie don't be rude' bulong ng isip ko.

Tinanggap ko ang kamay niya.

"She's my girlfriend, Ms. Rivera." Alzeth said proudly. Someone is doing it right but still, I'm jealous.

I just don't want to be possessive of Alzeth or at least I try not to kahit sa totoo lang gusto ko.

"Oh!" the Faye girl exclaimed. "I thought you were actually single. Madalas ka kasing ma-feature sa mga magazine as one of the country's most eligible bachelors."

I rolled my eyes, hindi ko alam kung nakita nila 'yon. But hello, para kasing wala ako sa tabi nila. I can actually pull this girl's hair but I know better.

I am a doctor and pulling this girl's hair will drag my career down. I can roll my eyes on her in my mind anyway.

"I won't be in that list pretty soon."

Shock was written all over the girl's face. I eyed her again, her skin is a bit more tanned now but her make up is not doing her justice. She's beautiful, to be honest. I would praise her if were not in this kind of situation.

Pinatangkad siya ng kanyang heels. Mas matangkad siya ng bahagya dahil naka-flats lang ako.

I really can't stop comparing even when I shouldn't. I receive all the love and attention I need, I shouldn't crave for more.
