All Chapters of Dumped by her Husband, She Married his Uncle: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yasmin's eyes widened in shock that made Barbara smile. "A little piece of advice, Yasmin. Stop wasting your time on me and focus on your own work. Who knows you'll get my position in no time if Nate is impressed," aniya at talagang idiniin ang pagtawag sa pangalan ni Nate.She doesn't want to be petty but Yasmin seems to like it so she will give her the exact pettiness she wants. Binitawan niya ang kwelyo ng damit nito at marahan na pinagpagan na para bang nag-aalis siya ng dumi bago ito tinalikuran at lumabas na ng pantry.Naiyukom ni Yasmin ang kanyang mga kamay habang pinagmamasdan ang paalis na bulto ni Barbara. She called Master Nate by his name alone? Is she really rubbing it to her face na close silang dalawa ng boss?!"Are you ready?" Tanong ni Celine nang makapasok siya sa loob ng silid nila ni Luke.Yumakap siya mula sa likuran ng lalaki habang nakaharap silang dalawa sa salamin. Luke was fixing his tie with a small smile on his face."I am. Super ready, babe."Inalis ni Lu

Literal na nanlaki ang mga mata ni Luke sa nakikita niya. Hindi pa siya nakuntento ay sinuyod ng tingin ang kabuuan ng babaeng kaharap niya. He wasn't hallucinating. Barbara was really infront of him, wearing a luxurious corporate attire while holding a tablet staring at him."What the hell are you doing here?!" Gigil niyang asik.Seeing her again, he could see that she wasn't struggling at all like what he wanted.Isang tipid na ngiti ang sumilay sa labi ni Barbara habang pinapanatili ang distansya sa pagitan nila at taas noong nakatitig sa lalaki."As you can see. I work here as the Lead Strategic Consultant," kaswal niyang sagot at napasulyap sa suot niyang wrist watch. "You're exactly three minutes early for your security screening. Guard, please check if Mr. Stavros has the necessary 'Vulnerability Audit' papers ready for submission.""Audit? Barbara, ano bang pinagsasabi mo? I'm here to see Nate! We have a partnership to sign!" sigaw ni Luke, lalong naiinis dahil pinagtitinginan

"Sit down, Luke," ani Nate nang makarating na sila sa loob ng kanyang opisina. Ryan also immediately served tea for the two of them as he prepared the contract. Ilang sandali pa'y inilahad na ni Ryan sa harapan ni Luke ang isang black folder. "Here's the contract, Luke. Take a look at it. We can discuss the terms written in there as we speak today," pormal na wika ni Nate. Dahan-dahan na dinampot ni Luke ang itim na folder. Eversince he slipped himself into business, ito ang unang beses na pipirma siya ng kontrata na siya mismo ang magdedesisyon. Wala ang kanyang ama at lalo-lalo ng wala si Barbara. And with that thought, he suddenly felt proud of himself. He can finally say: he can do it alone without anyone dictating him. Binuksan niya ang folder kung saan nakasulat ang limang terms. But what caught his attention is the 250 million pesos that Nate will put in his company. "You will give Oceana this huge sum of money?" Hindi makapaniwala niyang tanong. "Why not? It's for busines

"Pero nag-aalala ako, Luke. Hindi natin alam kung ano ang pakay ng babaeng yun kay Nate. You released a blacklist order and yet she still landed the job. Who knows she will cause trouble later on," nag-aalalang wika ni Sofia. Tumikhim si Celine bago tipid na ngumiti. "Wag po kayong mag-alala, Tita Sofia. Bibisitahin ko si Ate Barbara sa susunod na araw. I will try to find out if she has motives in working at Luke's uncle's company," presinta niya. "You will do that?" Paninigurado pa ni Sofia. Sunod-sunod ang naging pagtango niya. "Opo, Tita. Bibisita lang naman po ako doon to check on my sister." "Are you sure? Baka magalit si Barbara at saktan ka niya," nag-aalalang sambit ni Luke. Marahan namang umiling si Celine. "Ate Barbara wouldn't do that." But deep inside, that's what she really wanted. To provoke her so she will hurt her. In that way, Barbara will be dismissed from her job and would lose face to everyone. "Gusto mo ba samahan kita?" Tanong pa ni Luke. Muli siyang umili

Dahan-dahang napaatras si Barbara nang mapagtanto kung sino ang nasa harap niya. Nate was leaning against the doorframe, his expensive suit jacket nowhere to be found, and his white button-down shirt was unbuttoned at the collar. His tie was hanging loosely around his neck, and the faint scent of premium whiskey hit her senses. "N—nate... What are you doing here?" Gulat niyang tanong. Hindi ito sumagot, bagkus ay sinuyod nito ng tingin ang kanyang kabuuan bago namumungay ang mga matang sinalubong ng titig ang kanyang mga mata. Maya-maya pa'y mas lalo siyang naalarma nang makitang humakbang na ito papasok sa kanyang silid at marahan na isinara ang pintuan. Nanatili naman siyang naitulos sa kanyang kinatatayuan at pinagmamasdan lang ang lalaki. Nate leaned against the door while facing her. "I... I came here because I want to apologize about what I did earlier. I shouldn't have accused you of going back to that jerk. But seeing you together alone makes me so damn mad, Barbara," may
