The Royal Runaway (Royal Series #1)

Chapter 27

Gusto

It's been a month since I've lived with Craig. And I admit that our relationship got better. Hindi na niya akong masyadong pinapagalitan sa trabaho at sa bahay. He's still a jerk sometimes but atleast he got better right?

"Tati." I heard my name being called.

I looked at Craig. Nandito kasi ako sa office niya dahil may pinapa-arrange siya na files sakin. I can do it on my desk naman but he keeps on insisting na dito ko na lang daw gawin. May topak din ang isang to talaga.

"You're spacing out. What are you thinking?"

Is it okay to tell him that he's been occupying my mind for a few days now? Well, I think that's a bad idea, Tatiana.

He doesn't see you as a potential lover, sekretarya ka lang. Get a grip princess, you're not here for love.

"It's nothing. By the way, patapos na ako dito may ipapagawa ka pa ba?" I ask, changing the subject.

I shouldn't entertain these thoughts. With my current situation mas mabuti ng walang attachments. I'll be leaving soon if my situation worsens, lalo na ngayon na may nakakita na sakin.

"Wala na. We'll have a meeting with a big client this Friday so you should prepare. Make sure that everything's in order." He said and continued signing some papers.

A meeting with a big client? I have never been into one. Sa isang buwan kong pagtatrabaho dito hindi pa ako nakaattend ng meeting kasama ang mga malalaking tao sa kompanyang to.

"You're gonna let me attend? What's his name?" I said excitedly. I should ask his name baka mapahiya pa ako!

"Why are you so eager to meet him?"

What is he talking about? His mind is so malicious.

"I'm not! Tama naman na tanungin ko ang pangalan niya diba since kasama naman ako sa meeting?"

"You can call him Mr. Apollo." Napakunot ang noo ko.

Mr. Apollo? What a weird name. I wonder if yan ba talaga ang totoo niyang pangalan? It sounded like an alias. Well, I'm out of it naman. Ano naman kung alias? Maypa Tati Francine nga ako eh.

"By the way, Tati. I got us a new driver. He'll start next week."

"Why? What happened to Mang Andres?"

"He needs to go to his province. Family problem, perhaps." He shrugged.

Talaga? Is he okay kaya? Ang bait pa naman ng kalbo na yun!

I glanced at my watch. Out ko na pala! Sana naman hindi matagalan si Craig ngayon. Nakakainip pa naman maghintay sakanya. Sabay na kasi kaming umuwi araw-araw. Ewan ko nga kung anong trip niya! Sabi niya lang naman na I should save money daw.

"Boss. Out ko na pwede na ba umuwi? Okay lang kung ako lang mag-isang umuwi ngayon." I'm so tired today! Maghapon kasi akong nag arrange dito! My body's sore.

He was about to snap at me when his phone rang.

"We'll go home after this call." Craig said and picked up his phone. Nakakainis naman!

"Kylo." He said in a low voice and turned his swivel chair around. Now he's facing the glass wall, overlooking the city.

I should go out! I don't want him to accuse me of eavesdropping.

I went to my desk and fixed my things para diretso na kami pagkatapos niya.

"Are you seducing Mr. Carter?" A mataray voice startled me.
