Always Chasing the Sunset (Tale of Love Series #1)

Chapter 18

I didn't know what happened but I just found Wyne inside when I went to my office.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?"

Tinanong ko siya ngunit binigyan niya lang ako ng isang tingin. Lalo lang kumunot ang noo ko nang makita na inilabas niya ang laptop sa lagayan nito. I just watched him as he opened his laptop and type something there. Patuloy lang siya sa pagtipa at tila hindi napapansin ang masamang tingin ko sa kaniya.

"Hoy! Bakit ka nandito?" Tanong ko ulit ngunit nagkibit lang siya ng balikat at ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawa.

"Ang tahimik doon sa office namin, parang ewan 'yung dalawa..." Napangiwi ako dahil sa sinabi niya.

Hindi pa rin pala ayos 'yung dalawa. Akala ko hindi tatagal ang hindi nila pag-uusap. "Ano bang nangyari roon sa dalawang 'yon?" Tanong ko at umupo sa swivel chair ko.

He laughed shortly and didn't talked anymore. Pinabayaan ko lang siya roon at nagsimula nang gawin ang trabaho ko. Dumaan ang mga oras at tahimik lang kaming dalawa ni Wyne sa loob ng office ko.

"Ms. Charlotte, papirma..." Ngumiti ako nang makita si Maureen na naglalakad papunta sa table ko.

Pinirmahan ko lang 'yung dala niya at agad din siyang umalis. "Wyne, text mo nga si Jilyn at Alvin... papuntahin mo rito." I faced Wyne, looking at him seriously.

"Ikaw na," sabi niya, nakatingin pa rin sa laptop niya.

"Sige ako na... Basta ba lumabas ka rito sa opisina ko," itinuro ko ang pinto ng office at ngumiti nang malawak sa kanya.

Ayoko silang i-text dahil kapag ako ang nagtext sa kanila ay siguradong hindi sila pupunta. Alam kasi nila kung ano ang gagawin ko, iyon ay ang pagbatiin sila.

Kita ko ang pag-irap kunwari si Wyne at kinuha ang telepeno niya mula sa kaniyang bulsa. He typed on his phone and after that he showed to his text message. "Okay na ba?" Tanong niya, nakangiti nang peke.

I nodded at him and mocked him. After a few moments, Jilyn came with a smile on her face.

"Anong meron?" Tanong nito at tila nagulat pa na nakita roon si Wyne. "Bakit ka nandito?" Takang tanong nito sa lalaki.

After a few minutes, Alvin also came. No doubt, they were in a quarrel. Dahil kung hindi ay sabay silang pupunta rito habang nagtatawanan. I watched Alvin as he went to my table and sat on the chair in front of me.

"What's going on?" Maarte nitong sabi at tinaasan pa ako ng kilay.

"I am supposed to ask you two that question..." I gestured to Jilyn to sit on the other chair in front of me so she did.

Kita ko agad ang pag-iwas ng tingin ni Jilyn kay Alvin. "What's happening between of you?" I asked calmly but they weren't responding.

Humugot ako ng malalim na paghinga. I know they're not going to answer my question. Tumango ako at tinignan silang dalawa. "Because of your quarrel, Wyne decided to work here... In my office. He's not used to that, so please... Fix it as soon as possible." I smiled at them. They weren't talking and just avoiding the gaze of each other.

"You can go..." As I said that, Jilyn immediately stood up and left my office. Agad namang sumunod si Alvin. I hope they can fix their problem.

"Ang tamihik nila... Parang mga tanga," sabi ni Wyne, nakatingin sa pintong pinaglabasan nu'ng dalawa.

I chuckled. "Hayaan mo na."

I shook my head because of them. They are not kids anymore but they're acting like one. Even though I understand them, that doesn't mean we're giving them a consent to involve the company in their problem to one another. Furthermore, they also dragged other employees to their problem, which is Wyne — that's not tolerating.
