Chapter 20

Lahat ng mga worker sa pabrika ay abala sa kanilang mga trabaho lalo na ang mga vintner. More and more grapes keep coming in through the machines.Napansin ko ang isang babae sa sulok. Rica, I think her name is, and she has no idea what she’s doing. She isn’t a vintner after all. I know she was sent here on some mission.Nang sandaling makita niya akong papalapit, she suddenly acts more serious than ever, even though it’s clear she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to be doing.It’s not just her who’s gotten serious, everyone has. Alam kong walang gustong matanggal sa kanilang trabaho. I’ve stopped letting people go without good reason, but that doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate laziness. Tinatanggal ko pa rin ang sinumang hindi seryoso sa trabaho.Bawat trabahanteng madaanan ko ay bumabati sa akin. I only hum or nod in response to their greetings.Nang makalapit ako kay Rica. Ngumiti ito na parang nasisiraan. I scoff and roll my eyes at how she keeps staring at me.I’d actually come just to

Chapter 21

Huminto ang taxi sa kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuan ko. Agad akong nagbayad sa driver at sinimulang maglakad patungo sa elevator.I arrived at work earlier than usual today. 'Yon ay dahil natulog ako sa bahay ng mga kaibigan ko. Plus, I have a lot of work to catch up on. Hindi ko natapos lahat kahapon dahil sa pananakit ng puson ko."We have a meeting at ten. Hope I can finish my work before then," I sighed, hurrying into the elevator.Dahil sa pagmamadali, nabangga ko ang isang lalaki. Ang ilan sa mga dala kong gamit ay nahulog mula sa kamay ko."I’m so sorry," he apologized right away, bending down to pick up my things for me.Matapos niyang makuha lahat ng gamit kong nagkalat sa sahig, tumayo siya at ibinigay sa akin ang mga ito. Then he kept staring at me so intently that it became awkward.Actually, ever since I started working here, ito pa lang ang unang pagkakataon na nakita ko ang lalaking ito. Sa tingin ko isa siya sa bodyguard ni Drake. Pero bakit gano'n siya kung makatitig sa a

Chapter 22

I wanted nothing more than to slap myself hard enough to bruise, maybe even draw blood. Bakit ko ba ginawa ‘yon? Bakit ako lumapit kay Rica? And why did Blaire have to walk in exactly then? Now she’d definitely get the wrong idea.Ilang minuto pa lang kaming nagkaayos. Kakapasok pa lang namin sa maayos na usapan, sinabi pa niyang okay na kami na we’re good now. Tapos ganito ang mangyayari?No amount of explaining would make her believe there was nothing going on between Rica and me.Tinawag ko si Rica sa opisina dahil napapansin kong pabaya na siya sa trabaho. I wanted to tell her to shape up or she’d be fired. I also needed to tell her to stop throwing herself at me. Oo, hindi ako santo. Nakipagrelasyon ako kung kani-kanino, maybe more than I should have. Pero kahit kailan, hindi ako bababa sa puntong papatol ako sa sarili kong empleyado. Rica isn’t even my type, not even close to what I look for in a woman.I’d moved that close to her because I wanted to make her think exactly what

Chapter 23

I’m sitting in my chair with my head buried on my desk. Simula nang pumasok ako sa opisina ni Drake at nakita ko silang dalawa ni Rica, hindi na ako mapakali. Parang may mabigat na nakadagan sa dibdib ko na ayaw akong lubayan.Ang lapit nila sa isa’t isa. Sobrang lapit. I feel so disappointed and angry at him. How could he do something like that, right there in his office?Pero sandali… bakit ba ako nagagalit? Wala naman kaming relasyon. He can do whatever he wants. Wala akong karapatan para magalit. Alam ko ‘yon. Pero bakit ayaw makinig ng puso ko? Thinking about it hurt so much. I can’t deny the pain. It’s overwhelming.“Bwisit ka talaga, Drake” bulong ko sa sarili habang nanginginig ang boses. “You’re a big pervert!” Hindi ako makapaniwala na hinayaan kong halikan niya ako. At ang mas masahol pa, hinalikan ko rin siya pabalik. Those same lips have been all over countless other bitches. He’s such a man slut!I’m still lost in these thoughts when there’s a soft knock on my door.“Co

Chapter 24

Kakauwi ko lamang galing sa trabaho. I look completely tired, stressed, and frustrated. Hindi naman ako masyadong naging busy sa opisina kanina pero dahil sa nakita ko, parang may mabigat na bagay na ayaw umalis sa dibdib ko."Are you going home now, sweetheart?" tanong ni Jas habang pabagsak akong naupo sa sofa at inilabas ang phone ko.I'm actually scrolling through the message Drake sent me the other day, checking in on how I was feeling. Mabilis kong in-off ang screen at humarap sa kanila."Yeah… I need to tell dad I’ll be moving out tomorrow," I say calmly, my voice quiet and low."Hindi ba mabibigla si Tito niyan?" Hyra asked."I don’t care. Gusto ko na talagang umalis doon. Para na akong sinasakal sa bahay na ‘yon," sabi ko. Nagkatinginan silang dalawa at sabay na napailing."Sweetheart, you really don’t look happy, and I hate seeing you like this," seryusong sabi ni Jas. Inabot niya ang pisngi ko at marahang hinaplos. "What happened? Was work that stressful today?" "No. It’s

Chapter 25

I finished my call and came back with Pepper. As soon as we walked in, she sensed something was wrong and started barking nonstop. Bigla akong nag-alala. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" tanong ko at hinaplos ang kanyang balahibo para pakalmahin. Pero hindi siya tumigil, mas lalo lamang siyang nag-ingay.Kukunin ko na sana ang baso na may lamang juice para inumin nang biglang tumalon si Pepper papunta sa kitchen cabinet. It’s way taller than she is, and pushed the glass right off. The glass hit the tiled floor and shattered instantly, juice splattering everywhere."Pepper!" sigaw ko. She jumped down from the cabinet but landed on one of the broken pieces. Her paw was badly hurt, and she let out a loud yelp like dogs do when they’re in pain."No, Pepper!" Dali-dali akong yumuko at binuhat ang alaga ko.Halos maiyak ako nang makita ang dugong tumutulo sa paa nito. I moved away from the broken glass and sat down on the floor. Marahan kong hinawakan ang paa ni Pepper at sinuri ang sugat

Chapter 26

“Saan ka pupunta, kuya?” Astraea asked me as I headed out of the kitchen.Dalawang araw na siyang nakikitira sa bahay ko, and right then she was in the kitchen making all sorts of dishes for me. Kagaya ng bilin ni Mom.“To the living room. I don’t want to die. Kakauwi ko lang galing trabaho, hindi mo man lang ako pinapahinga!” iritado kong sagot habang naglalakad palabas ng kusina. Narinig ko namang napahalakhak si Astraea. Ever since she arrived, she’s been getting on my nerves. At ngayong araw, lalo akong naiirita sa walang katapusang pagluluto niya.“But you haven’t finished the things I gave you to do,” Astraea chuckled knowingly.Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at humarap dito.“Do the rest yourself, young woman,” I shot back sharply.Tumigil siya sa paghihiwa at tinignan ako.“Para sa ’yo naman ‘tong pagkain, hindi para sa akin, ‘di ba?” Inirapan niya ako.“Well, I didn’t ask you to cook for me. Your mom insisted, remember?" She laughed at the way I said "your mom" like she wasn’t

Chapter 27

I just drove into Dad's enormous compound and parked at the garage before coming out with Astraea. Halos sabay lang din naming dumating sina Rhyd at Sevi.“Were you two following me or what?” pabiro kong tanong, at napatawa silang dalawa.“Drake’s first lady,” Sevi said, referring to Astraea.She giggled and stylishly threw her hair to the back, making them laugh."First lady that is frustrating my life," I scoffed.“Huwag niyong pansinin si Kuya. Hindi totoo ang sinasabi niya,” tugon ni Astraea, at muling natawa ang dalawa.“Let's go in, shall we?” I said, and they all nodded. With that, we walked into the house, entering the huge living room that can carry hundreds of people.“Whoa, dude!” sambit ni Rhyd.Hindi naman ito ang unang beses na nakapunta sila dito. But everywhere looks new. The house has been refurnished.“Good evening, Mom,” bati ko sabay halik sa pisngi nito. Binati ko rin si Dad na nasa tabi nito.We all took time to greet my parents.“My babies... Come here all of yo

Chapter 28

“This definitely has to be a dream.” Kinurot ni Rhyd ang sarili, halatang hindi makapaniwala.“How did this happen just within a day? You and Blaire, dating all of a sudden?” tanong ni Sevi.Alam kong hindi sila makapaniwala sa nakikita nila.“Ngayon ko na gets kung bakit galit si Blaire kay Drake noong nahuli niya ito kasama si Rica, tama pala ang instincts ko,” sabi ni Sevi habang tumatawa naman si Rhyd.“It's crazy, but I love them together. They look too cute together, don't they?” siniko ni Rhyd si Sevi.“Yes, bro… pero sobrang nakaka-distract na 'tong halikan nila. Nasasakal na ang single life ko dito. It's not fair!” reklamo ni Sevi.“Idiot!” natawa si Rhyd at hinampas ang ulo nito.While they stood there completely confused, Blaire and I kept kissing. Pagkalipas ng ilang segundo, humiwalay kami at napangisi ako sa mga kaibigan ko.“Hi jerks, are you still confused and surprised?” nakangiting tanong ni Blaire sa kanila.“Confused is an understatement, Miss Chao Chao. We are thu

Chapter 29

“Good afternoon, sir,” Raki greeted respectfully as he entered my office.I only hummed in response, my full attention fixed on my computer screen as my fingers flew rapidly across the keyboard. Halos kalahati na ng dokumento ang natapos ko nang sa wakas ay huminto ako at tumingala dito.“Raki,” I called, leaning back against my swivel chair.“Yes, sir.”“That Rica girl. One of the winemakers you employed. Did you conduct an interview before hiring her? Is she even a real winemaker?” tanong ko sa malamig na tono.“Yes, sir. Lahat po sila ay dumaan sa interview. They made samples and presented them before I approved their employment. Their wines were impressive, including Rica’s,” he explained carefully.I stared at him for a moment.“Then why the hell is she neglecting the very reason she was hired?” I snapped.Yumuko siya, bakas ang pagkadismaya sa mukha.This was the first time I had ever summoned him to question the performance of any employee. Bilang Hiring Manager, lahat ng kinuk
