---YOUR POV---
Gosh. That man is an insensitive son of a b*tch. Pag ako talaga nasagad, di ko alam kung anong magagawa ko sa kanya! Hindi niya ba talaga naaalala lahat ng pinagsamahan namin? Talaga bang ganun ako kabalewala sa kanya? Aba, nakakasakit na siya!
"Ma'am, the board is asking for your opinion.", rinig kong bulong ni Bethie sa tabi ko.
Natauhan ako at tumingin sa mga board members na nasa harap ko ngayon at napangiwi nang makitang lahat sila ay nakatingin sa'kin. I cleared my throat.
"Apologies. I was just weighing the benefits of the company in case I approve this project.", palusot ko. "Anyways, what were you saying again, Ms. Jeon?"
The meeting proceeded and I made sure na I will not drift away again to think about Seungcheol. Anyways, if he finds me worthless, I shall do the same thing to him. Wala na rin naman kaming relationship ngayon eh, besides the fact na employee ko na siya ngayon. I should just keep it that way.
"That's it for the meeting. Enjoy your lunch. Meeting adjourned, everyone.", pagpapalam ko sa kanila and left the place.
Tinawanan ko na lang ang sarili ko when I realized na 2:00 pm na pala and it's too late for lunch. I lost track of time. May presentation pa pala ako mamayang 6:00 pm. I have to re-check my PowerPoint.
"Ma'am, what would you like for lunch today?", tanong ni Bethie sa'kin.
"Just order something edible. I don't care anymore. Ikaw din, umorder ka na ng para sa'yo. Pasensya ka na kung inabot na ng ganitong oras lunch mo.", I said while setting my laptop on my table. Nag-bow siya bago ako iwan sa office ko.
I massaged my temples and closed my eyes. Nahihilo na ko sa gutom. I should have eaten breakfast kanina. Kung di lang ako nawalan ng gana dahil sa babaeng tumawag kanina eh.
***7 hours ago***
"Who the fuck is this? You should be informed that I find you extremely irritating.", bungad ko sa caller.
Tumawa ang gaga sa kabilang linya. That kind of evil laugh that kontrabidas do in teleseryes. I scoffed and was about to end the call nung nagsalita siya.
"Mamamatay ka rin, y/n. And when the time comes, magmamakaawa ka sa harap ko. *evil laugh na pambruha*"
"Tapos ka na ba? I still have a lot of things to do.", mataray kong tanong sa kanya while tapping my fingers on my desk.
"You won't be so proud when the time comes, y/n. You will beg for your life. I will make sure that you will do." she replied coldly.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. I don't care.", I said before hanging up and fixing my things.
Tang inang babaeng to. Sobrang iritado na nga ako dahil sa office na ako nakatulog at nagising tapos tatawagan lang ako para tawanan ako at bantaan? Gago pala yun eh. She's very lucky that I wasted my time entertaining her.
"Ma'am, what should I order for breakfast?", tanong ni Bethie na kakapasok pa lang sa office ko.
"I'm not in the mood for breakfast. Magsha-shower lang ako and then we shall go for the meeting. Pero take your breakfast, Bethie. I don't want you fainting in the middle of an important meeting with the board members."
***End of Flashback***
I was quietly reading my presentation when my phone rang. I looked at the caller's ID and frowned when it said "Unknown Number". I sighed aggressively. Sino na namang ulupong to?! Don't tell me it's the same b*tch.
"Hell---"
"I don't have time for your games, kung sino ka man. If you really wanna kill me, come at me, b*tch. Di ako natatakot sa'yo. Ikaw ang dapat matakot because you are getting into my nerves. Kapag hindi ka pa tumigil, I swear that if I find you, you won't be alive by then. Nakaka---"
"Akin, calm down, please. It's just me."
Napatigil na lang ako nang ma-realize kong si Seungcheol pala ang caller.
"I got your number from Ms. Bethie. I just called to... Uhmm.. maybe invite you for lunch?"
"*sigh* I thought I warned Bethie not to give anyone my personal number.", pabulong kong reklamo.
"Well, I needed it. Usually, I am the one who communicates with the staffs and the CEO when the group has concerns.", he excused.
"Yeah, right, and you think that a lunch date is necessary.", I replied sarcastically. There was short pause.
"Ahem, I did not say anything about a lunch date, akin. I was just inviting you for lunch to discuss a few things."
I felt my cheeks heated. Gosh! Nakakahiya! Ang tanga-tanga mo talaga, y/n!
"May meeting ako ng 6:00 pm. Does it have to be now?"
"Not necessarily, pero kasi we're short in time rin. I think it'll just be for a good hour lang naman."
"Fine. Saan ba?", I asked and opened my drawer to search for my sticky notes. Napatigil ako nang may makita akong envelope na kulay pink. I don't remember placing an envelope here. Saan galing to?
"Hello? Y/n? You still there?"
"Yeah. What was that again?", I asked. Kinuha ko yung envelope.
"Aray! Fuck!", singhal ko nang mahiwa ako ng blade na nakadikit pala sa envelope. "Sinong gago naman ang maglalagay ng blade sa dila ng sobre?!"
"You okay there? Anong blade?", rinig kong tanong ni Seungcheol sa kabilang linya.
"Oo na nga, Seungcheol! I-text mo na lang yung address ng place and wait for me there.", I said at ibinaba na ang tawag.
Medyo malaki yung hiwa sa index finger ng kanang kamay ko pero di ko na yun pinansin at binuksan muli yung envelope.
This b*tch is really getting into my f*cking nerves! Pa'no siya nakapasok sa office ko?!
'To the most beloved Y/n,
How's my surprise for you, dear? Nagustuhan mo ba ang pasabog ko ngayon? Next time, it will be more surprising, b*tch. Pasalamat ka yan lang ang ginawa ko ngayon. You better pray for your life.
Sincerely, Y.J.'
Tsk. I swear you'll be dead soon. Ipagpatuloy mo lang to and I will make sure you'll pay for it.
