‎‎"Let them change their habit. You're no longer part of them"

‎Napapikit na lang siya. Bakit ba parang crime na may tumawag sa kanyang "Manager Zein"? Bakit ba parang mortal sin na may nag-aya sa kanya for lunch?

‎As if on cue, Warren turned at the hallway corner and walked straight to his office. Tahimik at walang lingon.

‎Zein exhaled. Ang bigat ng hangin.

‎Alexis, ever the king of baseless theories, stared at the closed office door with a contemplative frown.

‎“Sa tingin mo ba… sexually frustrated lang si President?”

‎“HUH?!”

‎She stared at him in horror.

‎“Alam mo yun,” he gestured vaguely in the air. “Men... may mga panahon talaga na unpredictable. Parang menopause lang. May version kami n’un.”

‎Zein wanted to sink through the floor. “What are you even talking about?”

‎Alexis patted her shoulder dramatically. “Don’t worry, tulungan kita.”

‎She squinted. “Tulungan saan?”

‎Please. PLEASE. Hindi kami iniisip ng parehong bagay, 'di ba?

    ‎Zein gave a smile that looked worse than crying. Her eyes were still red, her nose slightly runny, and her voice croaked.‎‎“Who wants to join a competition like that?” she mumbled, wiping under her eyes.‎‎“Pwede bang sumali na lang ako sa mas matinong contest?” She looked up at Warren, eyes glossy with fatigue and sarcasm.‎‎“Of course.” He nodded, voice warm and deep like low thunder on a summer afternoon. His smile? Soft. As if stars lived in the corners of his lips.‎‎“As long as gusto mong sumali... kahit anong competition, game ako.”‎‎Those words hit differently.‎‎She thought she was good at pretending to be strong, at pretending na okay lang lahat, kahit hindi naman talaga. But at this moment, she realized she didn’t have to fake it. She didn’t have to be tough. Hindi niya kailangang magmatigas.‎‎Sa dami ng pinagdaanan niya, she forgot how it felt to be vulnerable. To be weak. To be held.‎‎And now... with him?‎‎She felt safe.‎‎Warren saw her shoulders tremble

    ‎Zein’s soul practically jumped out of her body.‎‎Para siyang tinamaan ng earthquake magnitude 10. Hindi lang yumanig sa lupa, yumanig din sa puso niya.‎‎Anya, you insane woman!‎‎But what shocked her more than Anya’s bold statement was Warren’s reaction. Hindi siya tumawa, hindi rin siya tumutol. Instead, he crossed his arms, leaned back slightly on the chair, and looked like he was seriously weighing his options.‎‎As in, seryoso talaga siya.‎‎He frowned, nodded faintly to himself, and murmured, “Hmm… it’s not impossible.”‎‎…HUH?!‎‎Bakit parang hindi siya humihindi? Bakit parang… pinag-iisipan niya?‎‎Anya blinked, half-regretting what she just said. She tried to cover up her panic with an awkward laugh. “Hehe, right? Just joking, just joking!”‎‎Too late. The box had been opened. And unfortunately, this wasn’t Pandora’s box, it was a shipping box. At ang laman? It was a time bomb!‎‎Still deep in thought, Warren added, “Feasible nga. But... she’s timid. She probably

    ‎Naging makapal ang kulay sa mga mata ni Warren habang nakatingin sa natutulog na si Zein. Naalala niya yung umagang iyon, yung halik na parang wala nang bukas. Yung sobrang tamis, sobrang lambot… parang strawberry cake na kahit kailan ay hindi mo na kayang tigilan once you get a taste.‎‎Unti-unti siyang yumuko palapit. His breath hovered inches away from her lips. Parang one more second na lang, and he’ll kiss her again.‎‎Pero… huminto siya.‎‎Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa armrest. His self-control was hanging by a thread, lust and logic in a fierce tug-of-war.‎‎Gustong bumigay, pero alam niyang hindi pwede.‎‎Sa sobrang intense ng hangin sa loob ng cabin, parang huminto ang oras. Tahimik at walang kahit anong ingay kundi ang mahina at steady na paghinga ni Zein.‎‎Lumipas ang ilang minuto. Hindi niya alam kung gaano katagal siyang nanatili sa ganoong posisyon. Pero sa huli, dumaan ang isang malalim na buntong-hininga mula sa kanya. Tumayo siya nang dahan-dahan, naupo pabalik

    Matapos nilang pagusapan ang tungkol sa family drama, Aries excuses himself to go outside, maybe because he realized he overshared and needed to air. So habang naghihintay, inilabas ni Warren ang laptop at nagsimulag magtrabaho. Zein looked around, this private club room, looks like a studio apartment, kumpleto lahat at parang may office pa nga. Maybe Aries own this club, same sila ng aesthetic e. ‎PAGKATAPOS ng ilang minutong katahimikan, dumating si Aries, matangkad, confident, at may dalang dalawang cups ng coffee na parang walang pakialam sa ongoing na tension sa paligid. ‎ ‎“Warren, I brought you your usual. And I got one for her too,” aniya habang inaabot ang isa sa mga cup kay Zein. ‎ ‎Napatingin si Zein sa paper cup na may “Miss Z” na scribble sa side. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o mabu-bother. Pero dahil hindi pa siya nagka-kape mula umaga, tinanggap niya rin. ‎ ‎“Thanks,” tipid niyang sabi, at sinubukang hindi mapatingin nang matagal sa pagitan ni Warren at

    ‎Nanginig ng kaunti ang batok ni Zein.‎‎What if… gusto niya na talagang bumalik?‎‎The way he said it, parang sinadya niya talagang i-call out yung iniisip lang naman niya sa isip niya. Halatang inis, halatang gusto siyang ipahiya. Gusto lang naman niyang umuwi, kailangan pa bang gawan ng eksena?‎‎"Okay," she said calmly, tinatago ang inis sa tono, "since the president has approved it, I'll go back."‎‎Ang totoo, kahit siya nagulat sa pagiging kalmado ng boses niya. Kung dati 'to, baka pinagsabugan na niya ng “then don’t expect me to be your secretary anymore” lines.‎‎Pero ngayon?‎‎Now she just wanted to disappear quietly.‎‎Warren didn’t respond.‎‎The silence inside the car was deafening. Ang bigat ng hangin, para bang kahit si manong driver nai-stress na sa tahimik na bangayan sa likod.‎‎Driver’s inner monologue: Lord, kelan matatapos to? Hindi po ako bayad para sa silent war ng mag-jowa... este, boss-secretary.‎‎After almost an hour na puro katahimikan lang, they a
