A Forbidden Affair (Guieco Clan Series #2)

CHAPTER 23- NTH CHANCE

"Oh my god, Ashmer! I've really missed you! It's been years since we last saw each other. You've become even more handsome, huh?"

The woman's flirtatious tone was unmistakable. Well, what's new? It seems my suspicion that her behavior has escalated is spot on.

I couldn't help but cringe as I watched Beatrice getting too close to the boss.

Is she genuinely expressing her longing for him, or is she just excessively flirtatious?

She had just arrived at the camp with Aci and Froi, who sat quietly. We were in the conference room with all the Prime Agents, and everyone was closely observing the two of them, wondering what other flirtatious moves the woman might make in front of our boss.

My gaze fixated on Beatrice's hand, which was wrapped around Ashmer's arm.

Seriously, how can she be so shameless to flirt with a man in front of all of us? And the other one seems to be enjoying the advances made by one of them.

It's uncomfortable to witness, both visually and in terms of etiquette.

This woman is unbelievable!

At saka, hello? Agents' Clan ang pinuntahan niya at hindi comedy bar para kapalan niya ang kanyang make-up na siyang dahilan para magmukha na siyang clown. Nagsuot pa ng halos kita na ang kanyang kaluluwa. Sinuyod ko siya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang talampakan.

Naka-mini-skirts siya at naka-hanging blouse pa. Yong totoo, member ba ito ng cheering squad sa lupalop na pinagmulan niya?

Member o baka leader?

Sa tinis ng boses nito, paniguradong tatalunin ng isang ito ang leader ng cheering squad ng MHIS or ng FIS.

Hinawakan ko ang aking panga para pigilang matawa sa panlalait na ginagawa ko sa babae. Ngayon lang naman ulit gumana ang kadaotan na aking tinataglay.

"Maupo ka, Trice," tipid na sambit ni Ashmer sa babae at iginiya pa ito paupo. Nasa harapan ko pa talaga ito pumuwesto kaya nagtama tuloy ang aming paningin.

"Oh? Marciella Perrer. You're still here, huh? I thought you had left already. Well, if you're leaving, where else would you go? I wonder if there's a job that suits you besides being an Agent," she insulted me right away. Everyone remained silent.

"Go on, boss. I have a lot to do, so let's finish this discussion as soon as possible," I said to Ashmer, and didn't even acknowledge Beatrice's remarks.

"Wait," pigil niya sa akmang magsasalita na na Ashmer. "I am talking to you, bitch."

"Beatrice," saway sa kanya ni Froizel.

Ang mga PA ay mukhang inaabangan talaga nila ang muling harapan namin ng babeng ito. Ni hindi man lang sila nagsasalita o ano. Pero hindi nakakaligtas sa paningin ko ang mga sikohan nila at mga makahulugang tingin na ipinupukol sa isa't-isa.

Mga haduf din. Nakikita ko pa ang excitement sa bawat mukha nila maliban na lang sa kay Ashmer na nawalan na ng emosyon ang mukha dahil sa itinawag sa akin ni Beatrice.

"Bitch? Well, that's me. Born that way, you know," walang gana kong saad. Halata namang hindi niya inaasahan ang sinabi kong iyon.

What does she think? That like others, when told such things, their system would instantly flare up with anger? Well, I am not like them or her. I'm different.

"This is your territory, but it doesn't mean I'll submit to you, remember that," she bluntly stated.

"Really? Well, the feeling is mutual. I wouldn't want you to be part of my dominion either," I retorted. Her face turned red.
