ANOTHER PLAY

[Delianna’s POV]
I never raised a look and just keep my eyes on the ground. I really feel uncomfortable even after Mr. Cruz transferred to another seat, that’s why I began to feel at ease when we went out of the room.
Chain’s silence is kind of… dangerous to me. I can read what’s going on in his head. His face showed no reaction… zero reaction.
“Until next time again, Mr. Ayala.” Chain nodded at Mr. Cruz and before he closed the door. I saw him winked at me with a smile.
Yuck!
“Did you remember our discussion with Mr. Cruz?” Chain asked me after we got inside his car. By the tone of his voice, it made me feel nervous. I cleared my throat and took out a small paper from the pocket of my skirt.
“I-I have list down the important things, Sir.” I wasn’t really paying attention to their conversation not until Mr. Cruz made a move on me and so I decided to be attentive since he made me uncomfortable the whole time.
Minutes passed, I was puzzled when Chain didn’t start the car’s engine. The car key was not even slid inside the lever, as if he’s not planning in leaving the parking lot.
“Get out.” W-what the? I was in dazed. My mouth was half-opened but no words came out of it. He slowly turned his head towards me and I feel like a bucket of ice was poured over me when I saw him glared and giving a me a don’t-make-me-repeat-what-I-said look.
I was left with no choice but to get out of the car and as soon as I closed the door, the engine started and it appeared to me like he was just waiting for me to get out.
I looked down on my watch and realized I have to talk to some newly hired employees before the day ends.
Shit!

[Chain’s POV]
What the f**k? Oh, s**t. s**t, s**t, s**t! I pulled my hair out of frustration and wipe my face using my both palms.
I walked back and forth, perplexed with my own thoughts. I don’t understand myself. I clenched my fists as I recalled how Mr. Cruz touched her and it angers me. Oh gosh, I should be happy after seeing how disgusted she was but… damn it.
“Mr. Ayala, Miss Delianna already arrived.” The receptionist notified me from the intercom.
“Who dropped her off?” The thing inside my chest keep throbbing so loud, waiting for the answers I need.
“A taxi, Sir.”
“Okay. Thank you, Miss Sanchez.”
Needles and pins left my chest. I keep cussing myself when I ordered her to get out of my car. What if Mr. Cruz caught her waiting for a taxi outside? s**t.
Calm down, Chain, she’s already inside the building with a taxi that dropped her off. I reminded myself.
Inhale, exhale. My both arms are rested on my desk and my eyes started to shift in front when I heard the door slowly open, exposing my naughty secretary. Her hair is a complete mess and her collar was left with wet patches because of her sweat.
I grinned. I tried to make it look real but I can’t lie to myself knowing that it was a force one.
“Miss Lopez, the newly hired employees were waiting for you.”
“Where are they now?” I chuckled. She look so innocent, doesn’t realize that I’m playing with her… and it quite suck.
“They already left.” She looked at me with disbelief. The playful grin slowly faded and I gulped. I clenched my fists when I feel that every pulse in my body throbbed so fast as Delianna’s face darkened.
She started walking forward towards me and I want to step back but I couldn’t. It seems like my feet were magnetize by the floor. I watched her intently. My stares were glued in her every move… I was hypnotize by her eyes piercing into my soul. The way she walked with so much confidence especially how her hip and blonde hair sway syncing with the sound of her heels.
She pulled my collar and pushed her face closer to mine. She was gritting her teeth. She’s piss.
“If you’re doing this to get even with me… Mr. Ayala, grow up! We’re not a bunch of teenagers anymore! Let me tell you something. Don’t act immaturely, if you think you have me wrapped around your little fingers, you’re wrong. I’ll show you what professionalism really means.” Her words hit me. It keeps replaying and echoing inside me. My arms are trembling by how sharp her words are.
“Little fingers, huh? These little fingers you’re pertaining to, can make you scream that would take all your breaths out of your lungs, begging me for more, Anna.” I seductively winked at her and Gods, it made me smile after seeing her cheeks flashed red.
She’s cute….
Wait—what the f**k?! Did I just complimented her?
“Pervert!” She took a step back and released my collar. She keeps glaring at me and her eyes shows how motivated she is to wipe the smile off my face.
“I hate you Chain Tragedy Ayala!” She shouted out loud before she went out of my office.
I chuckled while shaking my head. I actually didn’t meant what I said. I feel bad for pissing her off earlier but after seeing her reaction made me feel so motivated. I guess there is another way to play with her—Her words came in my thoughts.
‘If you’re doing this to get even with me.’
Years ago where everyone used to know me as the Nerdy Chain because of Delianna. She’s the only one that bullied me as she will punched anyone in the face for those who will touch her toy which is me.
She always make fun out of me, shout at me for no valid reason and blame me for something that I never did… but she’s the only one that understands me, motivated me, and cheered me up by small gestures.
Delianna Lopez… the woman who never failed to amaze me.
