ARROW ARMANI: ONE HOT NIGHT

CHAPTER 1

Weird...

"The place is no ordinary. But will offer you a great deal," nakangiting ani ng boss ni Rybelle. "A hundred thousand pesos a month. With no extra expense. This is beyond your salary," dagdag pa nito.

He handed her the contract. Walang pag-alinlangan na pinirmahan niya ito. She did not bother to read what was written there. There's no new with the agreement just like what she'd been signing in every contract. She just wanted to escape away from the city. And she knew that rural was the best scapegoat for that.

The offer was great. Nothing in her life that she felt wanted like this. A hundred thousand a month net salary.

It's just a six-month contract. A huge amount of net income for a business specialist like her. It's more than a blessing. Mapapalayo na, makaka-move on pa siya. Siguro naman pagkatapos ng anim na buwan ay mawawala na ang sakit na nararamdaman niya? She shrugged away her thoughts and walked away from the office.

"So, how was it? Are you promoted?" agad na tanong ng kaniyang kaibigan na si Euryse pagkalabas niya.

Umiling siya. "It's an extraordinary offer," tugon niya.

Lumaki naman ang mga mata nito. "Don't tell me? Naku! Napakababaero talaga ng lalaking iyon!" kaagad na ispekulasyon nito. Dali-dali niyanamang tinakpan ang bibig ng kaibigan.

"Ano ka ba! Hindi iyon ganoon," pagtatanggol niya sa boss nila. "It's not what you think it is, okay?", aniya saka niya sinabi ang napag-usapan nila ng boss.

"Wait. Let my brainy absorbed it " maarte na anito saka huminga habang pinapaypayan ang sarili gamit ang kamay. "A hundred thousand a month net salary. Am I right?" paninigurado nito. Tumango naman siya. "And who the hell would offer you such a huge amount of net monthly salary? Is that how important your profession in the business world?" bulalas nito, more on asking herself that her. "Then, how was it going? Did you accept it?" tanong nito.

"Of course!" kaagad na tugon niya. "Fate conforms my will," mariing puno niya. Oo nga naman. Mapapalayo na siya sa masasakit na alaala sa syudad na ito, magkakapera pa siya.

"Well, wish you all the best. Basta ako? Gusto ko lang sa tabi ni Lethal," anito na ang tinutukoy ay ang boss nila. "Sana sa pagbalik mo dito, okay kana," puno nito habang tinatapik ang balikat niya. She just shrugged her shoulder.

"I hope so " puno ng pag-asa ang boses na aniya habang inaayos ang mga gamit sa eskritoryo.

"Bukas na iyon 'di ba?" tanong nito. Tumango naman siya. "You better have to beautify yourself. Rural doesn't have expensive lady things. Like hair coloring, foot and hand spa, nail polisher and so on." maarte nitong suhestyon habang pumipilantik ang mga daliri nito sa ere.

"Of course! And you will accompany me." Ngumisi siya. At pagkatapos nga nang trabaho nila ay dumiretso agad sila sa salon na pag-aari ng kanilang kaibigan.

"Hello, missies!" bati niya nang makarating rito.

"Oh, hello there, Rybelle and Euryse!" Emerald cynically remarks with her scrub suit attire. She looked at her from toe to head and vice versa.

"This is how you are now?" she mocked. "What happened to our refractory heiress, Emerald Cobarine."

"Correction. It's Emerald Ty," pagtatama nito. Napataas siya ng kilay.

"Even your last name you don't have the right to use it anymore?" hindi makapaniwala niyang tanong rito.

"Nope. It's my choice. Like duh? How can I used my heir name if I am working as a massuese here?" she answered with a duh tone and a matter-of-factly. Napataas kilay siya rito.
