One Night With This Monster

Chapter 8 ( He Knows?)

Natigilan SI Nico sa paglapit sa kanyang boss dahil napaka sama Ng tingin nito sa kanya.

If stare can kill. He is already dead.

" Boss, why are you glaring at me as if you want to kill me?" Naka ngiwi na tanong ni Nico na muling nag umpisa na maglakad.

Ezekiel remain quiet. " This is the files that Lisha finished---" Muli siyang natigilan sa paglagay Ng mga papel sa mesa nito Ng mas tumalim Ang tingin Ng kanyang boss nya sa kanya. " Did I do wrong?" Pagsuko nya and look at his boss with disbelief.

Sa tagal nyang kasama ito Ngayon lang ito tumingin sa kanya na parang gusto na sya nitong patayin.

" Why do you talk with the new secretary?" Tanong ni Ezekiel matapos Ang mahabang katahimikan.

Nico looked at him with disbelief. Is that his question? About Lisha?

" Boss, If I doesn't talk with Lisha. How could I give her work?" Naguguluhan na tanong ni Nico na malapit Ng matapos sa Ginagawa.

" You even call her by her first name?" Muling napatingin SI Nico sa boss nya dahil mas naging mapanganib Ang tono nito.

" Boss, what can I call her if I don't call her by her name?" Naiirita na tanong nya.

What's with his boss? Ezekiel Stevan tone? Parang inaagaw nito Ang girlfriend nya? But wait, who's girlfriend? We're just talking about her new secretary. Lisha Arconn right? Or perhaps Does he like Lisha?

Napailing SI Nico. Lisha might be a good person but she's not beautiful. Not the type of person that her boss will love. Moreover she's not even here for a week and Her boss doesn't know what love is.

" You're both employees. Why are you so close to her?" Muling tanong nito.

Nico sighed Ng matapos sa ginawa at Hindi makapaniwala na tumingin sa kanyang boss.

" Boss, We are the only ones on the whole floor. If I didn't talk to her. Sino Ang kakausapin ko? If I won't be close to her. How can we work together?!" Pigil Ang Galit na sigaw nya. When did his boss become like this?

Ezekiel's jaw tightened. Is Nico angry with him because he likes her?That thought made Ezekiel blood boil. " Are you angry at me?" Madiin na tanong nito

Mabilis na napailing SI Nico. " How can I be angry?" Napakamot sya sa ulo. " You're my boss. I will not complain. I'm afraid you'll deduct my salary. You clearly know my expenses now." Nakanguso na Sagot niya at napa sulyap muli sa kanyang boss na masama pa din Ang tingin sa kanya baka kase maging mabait ito at wag ibunton sa kanya Ang inis nito.

" Leave." Utos ni Ezekiel as he massage his forehead. Mabilis Naman syang sinunod ni Nico.

Ayon sa itsura Ng kanyang boss. Halatang may Galit ito sa Mundo kaya Naman mas mabuting Hindi sya nito Makita dahil ayaw niyang sya Ang pagbuntongan nito.

His boss really had a mood swing. Madalas. He was known as the Monster Billionaire of the Business World and all he can say is that title really does make sense. After all, his boss is not a nice one either.

" Did sir said anything?" Bungad na tanong ni Letisha sa kakalabas lang na SI Nico Mula sa office ni Ezekiel.

Ito kase Ang nag presentang magpasa kahit sinabi Nya na sya na. So Letisha once again lost an opportunity to be with Ezekiel alone because of Nico.

Hindi maiwasan ni Nico na pagmasdan Ang dalaga sa kanyang harapan. Mula sa ulo Hanggang paa. Wala siyang makita na maganda. " Lisha, Do you wear contact lense?" Curious na tanong niya dito.

Natigilan Naman Ang dalaga. " Why did you ask?" Kabadong tanong nito.

" Nothing. I feel like I saw your eyes are emerald but now they're black."

" You must be seeing things." Ngumiti sya. " So, what did sir Ezekiel said." Pag iiba nya Ng usapan.

Nico is really such a bad news. Hindi sya makalapit Kay Ezekiel dahil dito. She needs to make Ezekiel marry her but how could she do that if Nico is such a pakialamero.

Napa simangot SI Nico Ng maalala Ang kanyang boss. " The file that you sent. He already approve it. Just continue the others." Tugon nya. Ayaw nya Naman sabihin sa dalaga na badtrip Ang kanilang boss at malapit na silang mapagbuntungan Ng Galit. Baka kase matakot ito.

Nico doesn't know if it was an emotion but he saw the irritation that passed through Lisha's eyes. But why would she be irritated? It does not make sense at all.

" Lisha." Pagtawag ni Nico sa dalaga Ng may maalala.

" Don't forget to attend the welcoming party for newbies tonight. You could make friends there." Paalala ni Nico na tiningnan Ang dalaga na tila ba sya na Ang nakakatawa na tao sa buong Mundo.

Letisha tried to hide the frustration in her heart as Nico looked at him pitifully. Is the way she looked really that pitiful?

" Is Sir Ezekiel coming?" Mahinahon na tanong nya. Playing her disguise well. Mabilis na umiling iling SI Nico. " No. If he will be there. The atmosphere of the party will go down. He just talk about work anywhere." Wika nito na may kasamang pag iling pa na tila ba naisip nya Ang pinaka nakakatakot na senaryo.

So, if he's not coming then I don't need to come too.

Letisha was about to speak when Nico interrupt him. " You are only allowed to join. If you reject it." Tumalim Ang titig nito. " The whole company will hate you." Sambit nito at may kinuha na itim na folder sa table nito. " So don't even dare." Nakangiting pagpapatuloy ni Nico at muling naupo.

Walang nagawa na pumayag SI Letisha. Afterall ayaw nya Naman na mag Iwan Ng bad impression sa mga employee ni Ezekiel. Bakit? Syempre dahil magiging employee nya din ito once na pinakasalan na sya Ng binata.

She is not daydreaming. It's the reality that even the mighty Ezekiel Stevan couldn't escape.

In EZEKIEL Office.

" What do you want?" May himig pa rin Ng inis na sagot ni Ezekiel sa tawag. Hindi man lang sya nag abala na tingnan kung sino Ang tumawag.

He really hated how Nico talked with Lisha. He felt that she should only smile at him. Only him.

Is it bad to own her when she's mine all along?

" Bro, it's me."

Napa kunot noo si Ezekiel. " Elios." Why would his friend who likes caging himself in his island called him.

" Why did you call me?" Bored nyang tanong at nagsimulang icheck Ang papel na binigay ni Nico.

He is thinking of having lunch with Lisha but how could he do that? Will it arouse her suspicion? Moreover she is in a disguise will it ruin her plan? Would she get mad if I ruin it?

" Damn it Ezekiel. You're the one who called me that's why I'm f*****g calling you back." Halata na Ang iritasyon sa tono ni Elios kaya tinigil na ni Ezekiel Ang ginagawa.

How can he have lunch with her?

" Damn Ezekiel. Won't you talk?!"

Ezekiel shook his head at Inalis Muna Ang dalaga sa isipan. Sa tono ni Elios pikon na pikon na talaga ito.

" I called you last night. You just called me right now?" Iritado na tanong niya sa kaibigan .

[" You also know I don't like using gadgets. The view of my island is more beautiful than an electronic device." ]

Walang gana na tumango na lang SI Ezekiel at sumandal sa kanyang kinauupuan.

" Then why are you holding that electronic device?"

Ezekiel heard Elios Shrieked. " I'm the one who should ask you. Why do you send a helicopter here?"

Ezekiel slightly smiled. He forget that he did send one. Ayaw pa Naman ni Elios Ng mga sasakyan.

Taga Gubat kasi talaga Ang kaibigan nya. Ayaw nito sa lahat.

" I sent the helicopter. So you can come here."

[" Why?"]

Ezekiel heavily sighed because he needed help right now. " Lucas didn't go back to America." It's just one sentence but Elios already knows the seriousness in it.

[" Why? He doesn't like staying in the Philippines? Is it something important?" ]

" Yes, He found her. That's why you should come to Manila because you know I can't control that psycho."

Katahimikan Ang namayani sa kabilang linya. Ezekiel brushed his hair in frustration. Among the 4 of them. Lucas was too hard to control.

" So. I'm begging you Elios. I have a lot of things to do. It's better for you to tame that psycho. Since you're not doing anything on that island of yours."

" I'm also busy!" Sigaw nito sa kabilang linya but Ezekiel just shrugged his shoulder. As if he was really busy." But Damn it!" He cursed na tila Hindi makapali kung saan man ito nakatayo. " Where did he find her? Did he get her? Where the f**k is that man is?" Sunod sunod na tanong nito na halata na din Ang frustration.

Ezekiel once again sighed. Lucas really gave him a headache. " They meet but she runs away. Now I guess he still hasn't found her." Wika nya na tila siguradong sigurado.

[" What makes you so sure?" ]

" I sent my people to look over him. As of now they are still not coming back. You know what that means Right?" Seryosong tanong nya but Elios from the other line laughed instead.

" Ezekiel why are you so cruel?" Kahit Hindi nakikita ni Ezekiel ang kaibigan. Alam nyang umiling iling ito.

Tumalim Ang mga titig ni Ezekiel. If Elios was here. He is willing to punch him to ease his irritation. " You're more cruel than me." Inis nyang sagot dito that's make Elios laughed more.

" Alright. I'm coming to Manila." Pagsuko nito. " Send your people and messages. Don't come near Lucas. You know him. His such a crazy psycho." Babala nito bago binaba Ang tawag.

Ezekiel just shook his head. Elios is right. Lucas is really such a crazy psycho but he doesn't have a choice but to send his people. Ezekiel just hopes when they come back they are still alive.

Afterall Lucas loves to torture anyone who in his ways. That's why he's such a crazy psycho.

-LUNCH TIME-

Dahan dahan na binuksan ni Ezekiel Ang pintuan Ng kanyang office. He really hopes Lisha doesn't go have lunch with Nico or he will strangle his secretary to death. If you're asking if he is joking. He is not. The seriousness in his face was the proof.

Nawala din Ang iritasyon na nararamdaman Ng binata Ng Makita Si Letisha na nakaupo pa din sa pwesto nito.

" There's no such thing as a monster in this world." Narinig ni Ezekiel na Bulong nito. " Whether he was a monster or not. He is mine." Bulong ng dalaga sa sarili at ngumiti.

Hindi rin maiwasan ni Ezekiel Ang mapangiti because he knows that the one who's Letisha claiming as hers was him. Only him just likes how he wants her to be only with him.

Ezekiel shook his head as he looked at Lisha more intensely.

Even if she hides her appearance with those big glasses. Contact lense. Wigs and buggy clothes. He can still recognize her. As the woman who caught his attention in that one night.

Why?

" Who's yours?" Halos nalaglag SI Letisha sa inuupuan sa gulat. Unti unti nya na inangat Ang tingin only to see Ezekiel gazing at her.

Because the night that they shared left such an impression on him. An impression he can't forget and will never forget.

" Sir!" Gulat na tawag Ng dalaga dito at napatayo.

Every minute of that encounter keeps ruining his head. Every inch of her body was marked in his head. Every touch lingers in his heart. So How could he forget the face of someone who's made his head go crazy. Sa taas at baba---- His not joking.

Ezekiel smiled that made Letisha stunned.

He's not the type of person who smiles. He hated it . He's not the type of person who speaks. It bored him and he is not a person who plays. He doesn't want to waste his time.

" Did you have lunch yet?" Tanong ng binata.

But...

Mabilis na umiling SI Letisha. " What about you boss?" It's her turn to ask.

Umiling SI Ezekiel." Not yet."

Since Lisha put an effort to disguise herself Infront of him. She should play along and let her play for a while.

Lumitaw Ang ngiti sa mga labi Ng dalaga. A smile that Ezekiel wanted to own. He just wanted to kiss her. Pinch her to bed and to thrust deeper inside her.

That thought made Ezekiel breath heavily as he felt something tight in his pants.

" Then can we have lunch together?" Ezekiel smiled trying to hide the lust inside him.

For now. I let you play but once I say enough. You'll come to me willingly.

" Alright.."

Because Running away from me again will be impossible. My dear Lisha… you're just mine. Mine alone.
