Invisible Red String (Ms. Thea Yazmine Choi Revenge)

Chapter 6: You?

Tristan POV~

I finally arrived to Paris around 4 am in the morning. I decided to stay in a five star hotel for 5 days. Diko alam kong agad na tatanggapin ng model na si Yazmine ang offer ko kaya:t kailangan kong magbigay ng extra time para magkaroon pa ng spare time para makumbinsi ito.

8 am in the morning I already woke up, I still have jetlag but I can't ignore the reason why I am here in the first place. I wear Navy Blue Suit and tie, white long sleeve in the inside and a Brown pair of leather shoe's. My secretary provided me a car that I can use to go to the Thea Inc. By 8:30 am I already left the hotel. When I finally arrived at the Thea Inc. I was surprised to see a very big company. Tama sila na hindi basta-basta ang Thea Inc, lalo na siguro ang may ari nito.

While I'm still busy looking how big the company is, a Pink Shelby Mustang GT500 drove off the entrance of the company. A woman with a long hair got off the driver side. I can't see her face fully because she's wearing a sunglasses. She's holding the side of her sunglasses and I didn't realize that I'm waiting for her to remove it. By the time na tinanggal na niya ang sunglasses niya ay diko parin ito nagawang makita dahil natakpan na dito ng mga tao. The woman seems to be famous.

I enter the company and a lot of eye's landed of me, as if they just saw a model. I just ignored them and make my way to the receptionist area. The two woman are just staring at me, I cough and then they finally got back their sense.

" Bonjour Monsieur, que puis-je faire pour vous? " (good morning Sir, what can I do for you) one of the receptionist asked with a big smile on her face.

" J'ai un rendez-vous pour manquer Yazmine "(I have an appointment to miss Yazmine) seryuso ko namang sagot dito. Its a good thing that I studied French when I was young.

" d'accord Monsieur, laissez-moi d'abord appeler sa secrétaire " (okay Sir, let me called her secretary first) I just nod at her. A few minutes later the receptionist told me that I can go upstair now. She told me that the CEO office is located at the very top floor which is 21st. floor. Pagka-labas ko ng elevator ay isang mahabang pasilyo ang naroon wala ding ibang opisina na naroon kundi ang nasa dulong opisina lamang. A young woman approach me, she's wearing a formal attire.

" Bonjour Monsieur, madame yazmine est toujours à la réunion. Est-ce que vous pouvez d'abord attendre à l'intérieur de son bureau ? " (Good morning Sir, Ma'am is still on the meeting right now. It is okay for you to wait inside her office first?)

" Ouais c'est bon, pas de problème " (yeah it's okay, no problem) sagot ko reto.

" Au fait je suis Monique, la secrétaire de Madame Yazmine "(By the way I'm Monique, Ma'am Yazmine's secretary) she gives awkward smile before guiding me inside the office. Maganda ang loob ng office it covers with white and gray color, while some other furniture colored with pink and black colored. May nakita akong name plate as taas ng table lalapitan ko na sana ito para ayusin ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan kaya agad akong napa-balik sa pag-upo.

" M. Alcantara, madame Yazmine est enfin là " (Mr. Alcantara, Ma'am Yazmine is already here) rinig kong sabi ng sekretarya na nagnga-ngalang Monique kaya maingat akong tumayo at lumingon dito. I first saw Monique then when I look behind her ganon nalang ang pag-laki ng mata ko. Bahagya kong kinusot ang mga mata ko para malaman ko kong totoo ba ang nakikita ko. Pero pagka-tapos kong kusotin ang mga mata ko ay ganon parin ang nakikita ko.

Thea Yazmine Choi is now standing before my eyes. She look so beautiful in her Tailored Color Tie Waist Long Jumpsuit and brown heels, she's also caring a Louise Vuitton Bag in her arm. So many years has passed at ang laki na ng pinagbago nito. Mas lalo itong gumanda, and something that is also new to her is her eyes that has no visible emotion to it. Ngayon ko lang din na realize na ang babae kanina na nag d-drive ng Pink Shelby Mustang GT500 ay siya din, What at badass woman.

" Why so shocked, didn't expect me to see here? " saad nito. Tumikhim lamang ako, mukhang may bumara sa lalamunan ko. " Take a sit Mr. Alcantara " seryusong pagpapa-tuloy nito.

" I heard that you are here to offer me some business, let's get to it " the tone of her voice doesn't change at all as well as her expression.

" So here is the thing Ms. Yazmine, I know one of my employee already approach you but you refuse it telling that you might accep the offer when I will be the one who asked for your coopiraration " she just nod.

" If I accept you offer what could I get in return? " she seriously asked me without break

ing her stare at me.

" Aside from the money that you will going to get from us when you finally finish your contract, you could also became more famous and your brand will also be known by all. Its a win-win situation, don't you think? "naka-maang na naka-tingin lamang ito sakin, her expression doesn't change at all and it makes me hard to read what going on in her mind.

" You flew from Philippines to here because of that? Tell me Mr. Alcantara, your company is about to face bankruptcy and everyone is talking about that right now. Would you think it won't affect my career if everyone know that I'm helping your company? " Nahihimigan ko ng paninigurado ang kanyang boses. Tama nga ako sa hinala ko na hindi basta-basta ang may ari ng Thea Inc pero diko expected na siya pala ang may-ari nito, How small is the world is.

" Ms. Yazmine that's the reason why I am here right now, so that it won't happened. If you are worrying that your career might ruin because of this, then we can sign a contract where is stated that I take the blame and pay you payment for damages, is that enough? " I understand that she just wanted secure her image. Is not easy to work with a company that is about to face bankruptcy, there's a lot of things to considered.

" Okay, send me the contract tomorrow and let me think trough about your offer. You will know my answer by tomorrow afternoon, so make sure that you are free by that time " she stood up so I stood too.

" Nice meeting you Ms. Yazmine, I hope you consider it " Inabot ko ang kamay ko reto para makipag-kamay tinanggap niya naman yun at I suddenly feel electricity when our skin stick together. I'm not sure If she felt it too because she quickly pulled her hand away from mine. Diko namalayan na napa-titig pala ako sa mukha nito. " You're so beautiful " mahina kong saad pero umabot parin yun sa pandinig niya.

" Thank you Mr. Alcantara, now if you don't have anything to say you can leave now. I still have so may things to do. " sagot nito at umupo na pabalik sa upoan. Bago lumabas ay tinignan ko uli siya pero di na siya tumingin kaya dumiritsu na ako sa pag-labas. Sinalubong ako ng sekretarya niya at iginaya sa elevator. Ihahatid niya pa sana ako hanggang lobby but I refused, sabi ko ay kaya ko na kaya nagpa-iwan na ito sa taaa.

Diko inaasahan na balang araw ay mag k-krus ang landas naming dalawa. After 4 years we meet again and now she's very famous at hindi lang basta-bastang isang tao. Sinong mag e-expect na ang isang babae na datirati ay kinakaya-kaya lamang, pero ngayon ay mataas na ang posisyon sa lipunan. I drove off my car back to the hotel, kailangan ko mag-isip ng plan B in case na hindi pumayag si Yazmine.

Yazmine POV~

Naibuga ko ang hangin na hindi ko namalayang kanina ko pa pipigilan. After he left nakaramdam ako ng kaginhawaan. Diko kayang tagalan ang presensiya niya, He's company might about to face bankruptcy but it doesn't change the fact that he looks so handsome than before I last saw him. Gumanda ang pangangatawan nito at mukhang alagang-alaga sa gym, he can even fit for a model kapag ginusto nito and his hand, while I was holding his hand earlier I feel a little bit of callous that's tickled me. I feel relaxed while holding it, but the electricity na naramdaman ko ng mag-lapit ang aming mga kamay ay mas malakas. I don't have any idea why is that happened.

My phone rang and I saw that its Janice who is calling. I pick it up and swipe the answer button.

" Oh my gosh Yazmine, is your husband still there? " I can sense excitement on her voice and cars noise, looks like she's driving. In the Philippines having conversion on the phone while driving is a crime, but here is Paris its fine.

" Sorry to disappoint you my dear friend, but he is already gone and let me remind you...EXhusband and not husband " I rolled my eyes at the phone as If she can see me.

" What?! I didn't even have a chance to see his handsome face " she answered completely ignoring my remarks about the ' husband ' thing.

" Where are you right now? " I asked her when she suddenly sound silent.

" I'm driving to your office, I'm gonna pick you up " she answered giggling.

" Off to where? " I rays my one eyebrow.

" Nathan is inviting us for a dinner date later " I sense that she's smiling while saying that to me.

" Dinner date, us three? " I said in unbelievable tone.

" Why, gusto mo bang kayo lang dalawa, ha? " I heard her frown.

" Crazy, what I mean is bakit di nalang kayong dalawa ang mag-date? Medyo pagod kasi ako at gusto ko nalang matulog " I answered honestly.

" No, you are going with me and that is final, goodbye " she hang up on me without letting me utter any words. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang mag-umpisang magligpit ng mga gamit ko. Kagaya ng nakagawian ay nag-bilin muna ako kay Monique ng mga gagawin niya habang wala ako.

Pagbaba ko ay nasa harap na ng kompanya ang sasakyan ni Janice nakapag-park at inaantay ang pagbaba ko.

" How about my baby? " I'm talking about my Shelby Mustang that now is parked in the VIP parking space.

" I get someone to bring it to you house " saglit niya akong tinapunan ng tingin. I found out that we are going to buy clothes that we are going to use later.

" Look's who's here " we heard a voice behind our back so we look back. Its Jennifer and Rachel, they are American models who got here to audition for IMG modeling agency but got unaccept because the Talend Director said that they are not qualified for their company. We just staring at them while the both of them eyeing us from head to toe.

" I can't believe that a simple girl like you got into IMG " Jenifer stated. " I bet she seduced the Talent director so she can enter the agency " Rachel scoffed

" If the two of you doesn't have anything to say, move your ass out of this mall before I kick your ass myself " Janice said while holding her anger.

" And who are you to kick us out? don't you know who we are? " Jenifer ask while flipping her hair.

" I don't care and I don't wanna know. I don't engaged myself with garbages " Janice answered and I can't hold myself to laugh that makes the two of them red because of madness. They about to attacked us but three security shown up and hold them.

" Sortez leur cul de ce centre commercial " (kick their ass out of this mall) utos ni Janice, nakita ko pang bahagyang lumaki ang mata ng dalawa bago ito nawala sa paningin ko. We burst out of laughter after that.
