EX Wife (EXCLUSIVE in GOODNOVEL)

Five

Exelle

Their eyes were on me.

Looking at me with an awe. Praising me as I walk. And I guess, I really could make their heads turn. Only to me.

.

Man, who is she?

A goddess? Haha. But she looks like one.

Who is she?

I don't know.

Maybe a friend of Mr. Riguera. She's invited tonight anyways.

Is that the owner of EXiellene Royale?

I guess so. But she looks good. Not that I mean she's only that good. But really beautiful.

You know her?

Yeah, she's quiet famous as the owner of the very known EXiellene Royale. You know, the hotels and resorts in America. But actyally, kilalang-kilala worldwide.

Oh yeah, I remember. She's the so-called Miss Kim of that hotel and resort EXiellene Royale.

Miss Kim? I think that's her.

She's pretty. Or more likely more than pretty.

.

I smile at those people that keep on staring at me. I mean, simula nang maglakad ako galing sa pinto papasok sa kwartong ito na venue ng event, hindi na magkamayaw ang bulong-bulungan ng mga tao sa paligid ko.

Sanay na ako sa ganito, lalo na at isa lang ito sa mga events na dinaluhan ko ng personal. Minsan lang din kasi ako magpakita in media, kaya walang masyadong nakakakilala sa akin. For some reasons, kaya kinailangan kong maging mailap sa camera at sa mundo ng media.

Well, Alexis is a friend, kaya inanyayahan ko ang imbitasyon niya sa akin na pumunta ngayong gabi. I can't just ignore him, lalo na at idadamay ko siya sa plano ko.

I mentally laugh. An evil one.

Feeling ko tuloy napakasama kong kaibigan kasi idadamay ko pa siya. At pakiramdam ko, para akong bata na naglalaro lang. Sasabihin ko naman sa kanya eh.

"Hello, Miss-"

A guy in his middle twenties suddenly approach me kaya napatigil ako sa paglalakad. Bigla na lang kasi itong sumulpot sa harap ko kaya nabigla rin ako sa kanya.

"Exelle Kim." I told him with a smile, bilang pagpapatuloy sa sinasabi niya.

"I'm Clinton Mendrano." Pagpapakilala niya sa akin ng nakangiti.

Mendrano? I mentally laugh when I remember someone who is also a Mendrano. Si Mr. Anthony Mendrano, one of the board members of EXiellene Royale.

"Mendrano? How are you related to Mr. Anthony Mendrano?" I asked him.

Napangiti siya sa akin na para bang alam na alam na niya kung ano ang isasagot niya sa tanong ko sa kanya.

"He's my uncle. How are you also related to him by the way?"

"He's one of the board members of EXiellene Royale. What a coincidence to meet someone related to him." I chuckled kaya napatawa na rin siya.

Magsasalita pa sana siya ngunit bigla siyang nahinto ng mayroong yumakap na braso sa aking katawan. I almost flinched when someone did it, ngunit kumalma naman ako ng malaman ko kung sino ang nasa tabi ko ngayon. I thought it was just some stranger but it's a relief that it's Alexis.

"Clinton, she's mine. So back off." Malamig na sabi ni Lex kay Clinton.

Tumawa lamang si Clinton bago nito binigyan ng marahang tapik sa braso si Lex, na para bang inaasar niya ito. So, magkakilala silang dalawa?
