Waves of Healing (The Six Ladies Series #2)

Kabanata 14

"See you sa shoot, Shine." panunukso sa akin ni Nyx habang palabas kami sa mall.

"I never agreed, Nyx."

"Sige sasabihin ko kay Kian na gusto mo siya." Nyx laughed.

"Hindi ko nga siya gusto, Nyx." I told her. Of course, that is a lie.

"Nye nye, halata kaya. Manhid lang 'yong Kian na 'yon." Nyx laughed.

Hindi na ako umimik pa at pinanood si Nyx na sumakay sa taxi. Babalik ulit 'yon sa Beau Monde dahil may nakalimutan na naman. I just smiled bitterly and made my way back to my house.

Time flew fast at monday na naman. I was busy checking my restaurant when my phone rang. I saw Nyx' name kaya sinagot ko na lamang iyon.

"Oh?" bungad ko.

"Good morning, ha? Good morning." natatawang sagot nito sa kabilang linya.

"Anong kailangan mo?" I laughed.

"Pupunta ako d'yan mamaya. I'll give you the contract na isa-sign mo for being our temporary model." Nyx giggled.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa kaniyang sinabi. "Nyx, ayaw ko nga ng ganyan--"

"Bye, love you!" and she ended the call.

I let out a loud sigh before proceeding to the kitchen at i-check ang mga staffs ad chefs doon. After that, I decided to go back into the office yet my mind was clouded habang ako'y naglalakad. Some staffs greeted at me but I would just smile at them because my mind was preoccupied due to Nyx' plan. Ayaw ko talagang mainvolve sa modeling na 'yan. That is not my thing but on the other hand, makikita at masisilayan ko si Kian pero kahit na baka si Nyx lang naman ang makikita ng mga mata niya.

I opened the door on my office and to my surprise nakita ko si Jeremiah na nakangiti habang may hawak na malaking white teddy bear na nakabalot pa sa plastic. Napangiti ako sa aking nakita at nagmadaling niyakap si Jeremiah.

"S-sorry..." agad na bawi ko at bumitaw na sa yakap.

"Na miss mo ako, 'no?" he smirked.

I immediately raised an eyebrow at him. Well, I admit I missed him pero as a friend.

"Don't deny it. Napakayakap ka nga sa akin e." he teased.

I made my way to my swivel chair and glared at him. "Feel."

"Kidding aside, here." he placed the big teddy bear in front of me. "Call him Janice."

"Unfair mo naman, para sa akin 'to kaya ako ang magpapangalan nito!"
