Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Athena’s P.O.V. Sino ba naman ang hindi magugulat kapag nakita niyang ‘yong opisina niya ay nagmistula nang flower shop sa sobrang dami ng mga bulaklak? Halos wala na ngang paglagyan ‘yong ibang mga flowerpots at wala na rin akong madaanan. Maging ang tatlong visitor’s lounging sofas ay may nakapatong din na mga bulaklak. Hindi ko na pinagka-abalahan pang tingnan ang greeting cards sa sobrang dami nila. Maingat kong tinawid ang nagmistulang kakarampot na daan papunta sa mesa ko. Nilagay ko roon ang handbag na dala ko at binuksan ang laptop na nakapatong lang doon. At the quick scan of my documents and belongings, mukhang wala namang nawala sa mga ‘yon. “Nadz!” Agad akong lumabas at naguguluhang pinuntahan sa cubicle niya si Nadine. “Sino ang naglagay ng mga bulaklak sa loob ng office ko? Bakit ang dami?” kunot-noong tanon

Athena’s P.O.V.  Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nagpumiglas sa kanya until I found myself slowly falling for his trap. I was feeling hot all over my body and my heart was racing so fast. I really wanted to fight this electrifying sensation, but all I found was myself na gumaganti na rin sa bawat halik niya. Damn it! When was the last time that we kissed like this? Yeah, right! It was three years ago when we were in Paris. I thought I had already forgotten all the things that happened between the two of us—might it be good or bad. I thought I could easily forget the forlorn past that we had. But I was wrong, totally wrong. Dahil ngayon, bumibigay na naman ako sa kanya habang nakakulong ako sa kanyang mga braso. With the heavy weight on my chest, I would like to think that I was over him. I loved t

Athena’s P.O.V. “Wait, what? You’re telling me that he asked you again for another chance and that, you didn’t accept him? Why, Athena? For Christ’s sake, pareho na kayong nasa wastong edad! At saka, hindi ba’t inamin na nga sa’yo ni Tyler na siya ‘yong nag-text ng lintik na breakup message na ‘yon? So, ano pang ikinakatakot mo ngayon? Na malaman na naman ni Tito Miguel ang relasyon niyo at paglayuin ulit kayo?” Kate was serious with her long dialogue over the phone. I told her about what had just happened after I came back to the office—minus the kiss. It was already lunch time here, and the time in Paris was five in the morning. “I never said that I rejected him. Hindi lang ako sumagot, okay? And it’s not that easy, Kate. You know that! Actually, kahit baliktarin ko man ang mundo, it will never be easy for both of us…” I pointed out. Oo. Sa kabila nang lahat, gustuhin ko mang kalimutan si David ay nando’n na naman ako sa puntong gusto kong subukan ulit. Pero, natatakot ako sa mga

David’s P.O.V. “Hmm… w-wala pa po si Ma’am Teen, Sir Dave. If you are looking for her, hindi pa po siya pumapasok,” Nadine said when she saw me standing outside her cube. “I know, pero ikaw talaga ‘yong sinadya ko rito. Please come to my office, Nadine. I would like to ask you something,” seryosong sabi ko sa kanya pagkaraa’y tumalikod na ako. I was actually in the hospital when Athena was discharged yesterday. But given her condition, she might still file for a week of sick leave. It was unfortunate for me to just see her from a far—because I should be the one to take care of her and not that Tyler! I should be the one who was gently pushing her wheelchair behind her. Pero, anong magagawa ko? Athena loathed me to the core. She would even leave everything here and fly back to Europe.

David’s P.O.V. “Alam mo, Dave? Just make sure na ipapaayos mo ‘yong sasakyan ko as soon as possible, ha? Ipahatid mo agad sa ALeour mamaya—sa parking lot ng Spain building to be exact. Coding si Carah bukas kaya wala akong gagamitin kung hindi si Mariah lang,” pag-iiba ni Athena ng usapan. Unti-unti rin siyang lumayo sa akin habang tinatanggal ang kamay kong prenteng nakaakbay lang sa balikat niya. Nakaramdam ako ng panghihinayang, pero masaya pa rin ako dahil kasama ko siya. Still staring at her green eyes, I suddenly felt her uneasiness kaya gusto kong tumawa nang malakas. I found Athena so cute lalo na nang malaman kong may mga babaeng pangalan pa talaga ang mga sasakyan niya. “Problema ba ‘yon? I’ll give you a ride again tomorrow. I can be your driver whenever you want. So… forget about Carah or Mariah, Athena. Here’s y
