The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 4.1
Chapter 4.1The constant ringing of my phone woke me up. I tightly closed my eyes and covered it with my arm, still sleepy from taking care of Iris the whole night. She's a bit handful when she's drunk. I grunt when the ringing didn't stop no matter how much I ignored it. I swear to God, whoever's calling me this early will really not hear the end of this. I slowly lift myself up and lean my back at the headboard, before I reached for my phone at the bedside table. I grunt as I felt a pain on my head. I tightly closed my eyes and the memories of last night started flashing back at the back of my mind. I sat up straight when the scene before we went home, flashed. "Oh God..." I groaned and rub my forehead. Iris vomited on him! On his dress shirt that seems to cost more than my monthly salary! Oh God! I can't believe that it happened.I was again interrupted when I heard the loud ringing of my phone again. My forehead form a creased when I saw that it's an unregistered number. I hes

Chapter 4.2Pinunasan ko ang mga luhang kanina pa pala tuloy-tuloy ang pagtulo sa pisngi ko. Inilayo ko ng kaunti ang cellphone mula sa akin bago suminghot. I don't want her to hear me breaking because of this. "I'm still hurt because of what you did before, it's still etched in my mind. It's replaying vividly, reminding me of that day. God knows how much I wanted to forget it, but I can't," I told her. My voice is laced with pain. "I'm sorry anak. I'm sorry," she cried. Tanging pag-iyak at hikbi na lang niya ang naririnig ko mula sa kabilang linya dahilan para muling tumulo ang panibagong mga luha sa pisngi ko. Oh how much I've been wanted to hear this. Kahit sa kaniya lang. Kahit siya lang ang magsabi ay sapat na sa akin. Hindi na muling nagsalita si mommy pagkatapos niyang umiyak. Nagpaalam na lang siya at pinatay ang tawag. I stayed on my room, staring at nothing particular. I don't know how everything went into this. I was just enjoying my work, almost got late in a meeting,
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 5.1
Chapter 5.1I ran passed through the revolving door. I almost bump to all of the people at the lobby who only walk normally, while I looked like I have been chased. I keep on saying sorry without looking at them. I have no time to do so, I'll be very late at this moment.I tried to catch the first elevator I saw but, unfortunately it closed before I could even reach it. I moved to the next one, it was about to close and I don't know how, it might be the adrenaline, but I managed to slip my hand in between the two doors to open it again. A sigh of relief past through my lips, but not long after, I'm having a difficulty in breathing again. I stared at him. My eyes were wide open. My jaw almost dropped at the shiny floor. I should've believed what Iris told me. I should've considered that coincidences happens in real life. Because the moment the door of the elevator slowly opens, I saw him again. Standing magnificently on his dark blue suit. His dark brown eyes peering on my black one
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 5.2
Chapter 5.2 I was pulled out of my trance when someone nudged me from the side. When I turned my head to my right, I saw her nodding forepart. I followed her line of vision and that's when I saw Sandy mouthing; "come here" to me. With a slight hesitation and nervousness, I stepped inside and it feels like the world stop while my eyes were on that one person who's gaze are piercing through me. Una akong nag-iwas ng tingin at dumeretso kay Sandy na naghihintay na sa akin. "The President wants to hear about the re-design of some of the designs you gave to their team personally," she whispered. Bahagya akong napalingon sa likuran ko. Napalunok ako nang makita siyang nakaupo lang at nakayuko. The little light illuminating his face indicates that he's looking at his cellphone. "You're already done with that, yes?" She hopefully asked me. Her voice waver and the more I stayed silent, the more she became restless too. She's looking behind us every second she could get, so when I slightl
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 6.1
Chapter 6.1I stretched my arms above my head as I yawn without taking my eyes off of the screen of my laptop. I've been sitting here for hours, squeezing my brain for ideas. I grew frustrated each second, doubting if this designs reached, nor surpassed their set of standards. After thinking about what he said for a hundred times today, I ended up agreeing with what he told me. It was really complicated not only for the guests but also for the hotel itself.I was thinking too much that I failed to notice that I'm steps ahead of myself. So I thought of designs that is minimal and pleasant to the eyes but not common. There's still uniqueness and originality with the designs despite of it's minimalism. Considering that their hotel is one of the top three hotel, the number one to be exact, the designs should be beyond what the guests expected to see. The luxury would still be there but not too much. After being satisfied with my designs, I decided to bring myself to sleep. I almost cur
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 6.2
Chapter 6.2Umuwi akong dala-dala ang mga katanungan na walang mga kasagutan. Para akong walang buhay na naglalakad papunta sa apartment ko. Dahil hindi naman kalayuan ang tinitirhan ko mula sa trabaho ko, pinili ko na lang munang maglakad ngayon nang makapag-isip-isip rin ako, pero mukhang maling ideya 'yon nang ilang beses na akong muntik mabangga sa mga taong nakakasalubong ko. Mula sa sementadong daan, napatingin ako sa harapan ko. At gano'n na lang ang gulat ko nang makita kung sino ang taong nakaupo sa gilid ng isang resto bar. Nakasandal ang likod niya sa dingding ng resto bar at mukhang wala siya sa sarili. Kahit na nakayuko siya at lasing na lasing nakikilala ko pa rin siya. Lalo na't nakasout lang siya ng t-shirt dahilan para makita ko ang mga tattoo niya sa braso at sa leeg. I really don't get why someone want to put a tattoo on their skin when it will only make it look so dirty. But this Lankov, Adam Lankov, is an exception. He looked great with that tattoos in his well
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 7.1
Chapter 7.1"Ugh! I really hate her! Why would I envy her? Tell me?" Iris is gritting her teeth because of too much anger. "I'm way more gorgeous than her!" She rolled her eyes which made me laugh a little. She scoffed when she saw my reaction and sip her drink. We're currently in a coffee shop we always visit to whenever we have time after work. We discovered this when we're both in college and until then it became our favorite shop. Now that we're both busy with our career, we rarely visit here. But I'm glad that we have time to visit now, if not, I don't think Iris won't stop calling me to rant this 'hate' and 'envy' she's telling me now. "Just let her be, Ris. You know your truth," I told her. I put a fork of chocolate cake on my mouth and savor it's taste. I hummed in approval as it suits my palate. "I know! But still! If you just saw that woman, you'll be itching to claw your nails on her." "I won't." I shrugged and continued eating my chocolate cake. I know that Iris is jus
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 7.2
Chapter 7.2"Just call me when you need help okay? I'll follow you there immediately," she whispered and I nod my head. She tap my back softly before she stepped back. "Thank you, Iris. I'll text you when I get there." "Sure. Take care." We once again hugged each other before I turned around and started to walk inside. When I'm about to passed through the door, I looked back and waved my hand at her. She did the same. I smiled at her before I turned around again and continued walking without looking back again. Huminga ako ng malalim at nilanghap ang hangin. Napangiti ako.Nasa Pilipinas na nga ako. Nakabalik na ako. It feels like it's been ages since I came here. Tinangay ng malakas na hangin ang buhok ko kaya sinikop ko iyon. Tinanggal ko ang sout na sunglasses at naglakad na pababa ng eroplano dala ang maleta ko. Marami akong kasabayang mga pasahero and it feels weird to walk with some of the Filipinos. Nasanay kasi ako sa ibang bansa na maglakad na mga banyaga ang kasabay. Nak
