Yazmine POV~
I woke up by constant knock on the front door of my hotel room. I pick up my phone and check what time it is. I frustratedly grab my bathrobe and cover it to myself. I take a quick wash of face and toothbrushes. After satisfying myself I change my clothes into lose croptop blouse and fitted jeans, I also wear brown boots.
When I open the door I saw that it was Atty. Enriques with his personal assistant. " What take you so long to open the door? " he is not sounded mad nor happy
" I woke up late and I need to fix myself first before open the door for a guest " I answer while gesturing them to come inside. Were sitting in the living room, the two of them sit on the long couch while I sit on the one person couch.
" Do you want something to eat or to drink? " I asked, but they refused and they said their fine so I didn't insists anymore.
" I will said it directly to the point, here's the title of the house and land that you asked me to arranged " Atty. seriously said while handing me a brown envelope. I took what is inside the envelope and I find out that it was the title.
" I already visit the house it's already clean and orderly. You can move at anytime, just inform me and help you with your things " Atty. continued.
" Thank you so much Atty. for your help and I'm thinking about moving tomorrow before I finally start my work here " I answered politely.
" Okay if that what you want. I asked someone to fetch you tomorrow " Atty.said, they stood up and said there leaving. I thanked them again and said goodbye. When I finally alone I went back to my room and took my cellphone. I called Monique and she answered right away.
" Hello ma'am? " Monique answered from the other line.
" How's everything there? " I asked
" Everything is fine ma'am, the vice president manages everything while you're away as you said " Monique answered.
" How about my manager, have you called him already? " I asked again.
" Yes ma'am and we're leaving later to go there " After Monique and I talked, I turn off my phone. I decided to go down and eat at one of their restaurants inside the hotel. I enter a restaurant named Metronome and I ordered Haricot verd salad, cured egg yolk, tomato confit, lemon veinagret, spaghettini, prawn beurre montè, salmon roe and Mara de bois strawberry-timbale, whipped isigny sainte-mère fromage blanc, strawberry consommé, honey crisp for dessert. The ambiance of the restaurant is so relaxing plus it's not too crowded.
May iilang-ilan na nakatingin at malamang ay nakilala ako, but it was good that no one dare to approach me. I'm might be famous but I hate being surrounded. My ordered came and I enjoyed the food, it so delicious that I didn't realized I finished everything. I remind myself na mag-umpisa na mag diet at pumunta ng gym. Sigurado akong mapapagalitan na naman ako ng manager kong bakla pang nalaman na ang dami kong kinakain.
Kinuha ko ang aking cellphone mula sa aking bag at tinawagan ang numero ni Atty. Enriques.
" I need a ride " sabi ko agad dito ng sagotin nito ang tawag.
" I sending my personal assistant to you " sagot naman nito. I thanked him at pinatay na ang tawag. Maya-maya pa ay nakita ko ang personal assistant nito na papasok ng restaurant. Tumayo na ako at sinalubong ito.
" Atty. send me to accompany you Ms. Choi " bungad nito sakin.
" Yes thank you " sagot ko reto at nagpa-hatid na sa sasakyan.
" I need to buy a new car " pukaw ko reto, he is now currently driving " Yes Ma'am " saglit naman na sagot nito. Dinala ako nito sa isang car shop ng Lamborghini in Manila. A Pink Lamborghini Aventador caught my attention, agad ko iyung binayaran using my gold card. I saw dealer eyes got widen after seeing my card. He might just recognized me so I just smiled at him. Nang araw ding iyun ay inasikaso na ang lahat ng papelis upang maipangalan sakin ang sasakyan. After fixing the paper ay nagamit ko na agad ang bago kong sasakyan.
" Thank you for your help " sabi ko sa personal assistant ni Atty at tuloyan ng umalis. While driving my phone rang, I connect the call to the car and answered it.
" Yes? " I simply answered, diko alam kong sino ang tumawag dahil diko manlang ito inabalang tignan.
" Where are you? " nagulat na lamang ako nang marecognize ang boses nito, kailangan ko pang silipin ang pangalan ng caller para maka-sigurado na si Tristan nga talaga ito.
" Driving, why? " I tried to make my voice bored.
" Alone? " malakas na tanong nito mula sa kabilang linya. Meron din atang nalaglag dahil sa bigla nitong pag-tayo.
" Yes why? " I sounded my voice normal this time.
" Alam mo kong gaano ka dilikado ang ginagawa mo? paano kapag may nakakilala sayo na mga tao at bigla ka nalang kuyogin? " he sounded concern but I can't help rolling my eyes on what he just said.
" Di naman ako pumupunta sa mataong lugar okay? at tsaka I'm sure to be careful " pinahalata ko sa boses ko ang pagka-irita.
" Go back to your hotel room now, I need you to introduce to someone " yun lang at binaba na nito ang tawag. How dare he to hang up on me? I irritatedly ask myself. Kinabig ko ang manubila pabalik ng hotel. Naiinis akong pumasok ng hotel pagkatapos kong i-park ang kotse ko. Pagpasok ko ng elevator ay nagulat na lamang ako ng makita si Tristan sa loob non. Balak ko sanang paunahin nalang muna ito pero nakaharang ang isang kamay nito sa pintuan ng elevator mukhang pinipigila ang pag-sara nito. Napa-buntong hininga nalang ako at no choice na pumasok ng elevator.
" How did you know that I'm here " walang emotion na tanong ko reto.
He looked at my reflection on the elevator then answered " I asked Atty. Enriques "
" Sino ang sinasabi mong ipapa-kilala mo sakin? " tanong ko reto ng makarating kami sa hotel room ko. I asked him to sit in the couch at agad naman itong sumunod.
" I hired you a bodyguard to follow and protect you whenever you go " he seriously answered while starring at me.
" Why bother? I can take care of myself " I said that with a serious face.
" You are my responsibility hanggang andito ka sa pilipinas, if anything bad happened to you I'll be responsible for it and I could risk anything " seryuso ding sagot nito sakin habang nakakunot-noo.
A moment later we heard a knock on the door. " It must be them " he's talking about the bodyguards he hired. He opened the door and 4 muscular guy enter the room. They all look so handsome to be a bodyguard but I never talked about it. He introduce me to them " Everyone, this is Ms. Yazmine you must all by now who is she " sabi nito sa apat na sabay-sabay lang na tumango.
" Yazmine, this Apollo " he gestured the tan guy with black hair " This is Oggy " he next gestured the guy with fair skin and brown hair " And this is Skylar " he thirdly gestured the white guy with blonde hair. I think this one is American. Then He lastly introduced me to Leo, among the four Leo is the one who look like a pure Filipino with his black hair, dark brown eyes, and fair skin.
" You all be responsible for her safety from now on. Do you understand? " Tristan said in authorative voice and again they just nod. Para bang bukod sa tumayo ng tuwid ay isa pang pinagbabawal sa mga to ay ang magsalita. Pagkatapos ako makilala ng apat ay nautusan ang dalawa na mag-bantay sa labas ng pinto ng hotel room ko. Ang dalawa naman ay pinauwi muna at mamayang gabi naman mag-babantay.
" What is you're plan for today? " Tristan asked pagkatapos ng mahabang katahimikan.
" I will visit the mansion " I answered without looking at him. " I will change first " diko na ito inantay pang sumagot at agad ng tumayo, but before I finally open my room he spoke. " Sasama ako sayo " I just shrug and didn't answer.
I change my clothes into White Padded bra with high waist pants, white high heels and a sunglasses. I also bring my white Gucci sling bag. When I got out Tristan not seems to be please by my outfit but I didn't care even he shooting me with his ranging eyes. I left the hotel room I felt that he immediately followed me with the two bodyguard.
" I'm using my own car, mag-convoy nalang tayo " sabi ko reto ng hindi manlang nililingon. Sabay kaming pumunta ng parking space. Nakita kong inantay muna ako nitong sumakay sa sasakyan ko bago pumasok sa likod ng sariling sasakyan at ang dalawang bodyguard naman ay nasa harap. Nauna akong lumabas ng parking at agad naman naka-sunod ang sasakyan ng mga to sa likod. When we reached the mansion I parked my Lamborghini in the front yard, maya-maya pa ay dumating din ang sasakyan ng mga toh. Nauna kasi ako at medyo naiwan ang sasakyan ng mga to dahil sa bilis ng takbo ko. Hindi ko na din kinagulat ng lumabas ng sasakyan si Tristan ng galit.
Agad itong lumapit sakin " Magpa-pakamatay kaba, ha? " galit nitong singhal sakin. Diko to pinansin at tuloy-tuloy na pumasok ng mansion kahit Panay ang tawag nito sa pangalan ko. I feel really happy when our old maid approach me.
" Hala ikaw ba yan ma'am Thea? Apaka ganda muna at ang laki-laki muna " sabi sakin ni yaya Lourdes, ito din ang nagsabi sakin noon na patay na ang aking ama. Mula naman sa kusina ay lumabas ang aming mayordoma na si manang Glenda. " Jusko akala ko kong sinong dyosa ang naligaw sa bahay, ikaw pala yan ma'am Thea " diko mapigilan kundi matawa sa mga turan ng mga to.
" Kayo talaga binola nyu pa ako, nga pala manang bakit walang security guard ang naka-bantay sa may gate kanina? at bakit yun bukas? " kanina kasi habang papasok ng mansion ay napansin kong bukas ang gate pinawalang bahala ko yun at inisip na baka binuksan agad ng security guard, Pero nang makapasok ay wala din akong nakita na security guard sa guard house.
" Baka nag-cr ma'am, alam nyu naman po na malayo ang cr nila sa mismong guard house " sagot ni yaya Lourdes. Tumango-tango lang ako, now that she mentioned about it I guess kailangan kong magpatayo ng cr na malapit lang sa guard house.
" Nga pala ma'am, sino itong gwapo na kasama mo at yung dalawa pang pogi sa labas? " nawala sa isip ko na kasama ko nga pala ang lalaki.
" Yaya Lourdes at manang Glenda, ito po si Tristan, katrabaho ko po habang yung dalawa naman po sa labas ay mga bodyguard ko " magalang ko na sagot sa mga to.
" Oo nga pala, sikat na sikat na bilang modelo at bilang isang negosyante. Parang ang bilis ng panahon, dati rati ayaw mo pang nagsu-suot ng mga pambabaeng mga damit pero ngayon tignan mo naman apaka sexy mo na " natatawa nitong turan. Natawa nalang din ako at niyakap silang dalawa. " Welcome back home ma'am " bulong sakin ni Manang Glenda.
" Thank you po sa inyu, sa pananatili nyu samin ng matagal na panahon " I don't know why but suddenly my tears started flowing from my eyes. A hand suddenly pop out holding a handkerchief. Tinignan ko ang may ari non and its Tristan na kunot-noo.
" Why are you crying? Stop it, you look ugly " sabi nito bago mabilis na nilagay sa kamay ko ang panyo niya at lumabas ng bahay. Di na ako nag-inarte pa pinunas iyun sa mukha ko na puno ng luha. Inferness ang pango ng panyo nito.
