Her Deceitful Adonis

Lesson 3

Author's Note: After a day of deciding, I've made up my mind. I'll focus on this story first.

Avery Rain Santillan

I tapped my fingers on the customized laptop table on my van. Hindi ko mapigilang kagat-kagatin ang labi ko habang nakatitig sa mga impormasyong nakadisplay sa laptop ko.

I can't believe this! Why did he even worked for our university?! Hindi naman niya kailangang magtrabaho dun!

A CEO and president, in one, worked on our university as a professor. Reality check, hindi na niya kailangan yun but what makes me think is that why did he did it?

Hindi naman na ako magtatakang alam niya ang patungkol sa akin but I don't even know his existence in the business world! I mean, I know all the names of the richest business man but his name never showed itself there. Hindi ko rin siya nakikita sa mga functions na dinadaluhan ko noon.

The Manager's Night was the first time I saw which is acceptable and valid cause he's an alumni of our university with the same course that I am taking.

Hindi naman nakakagulat na hindi ko malalamang schoolmate ko siya dahil member siya ng HU Elites pero kami ni Amber ang pumalit sa slot niya ng palipatin siya sa isang university na affliate ng HU sa London. From third year to fourth year, he studied there. Last year lang siya nakabalik ng Pilipinas and that's when he started running four gigantic companies his late father owned. Earlier this year lang din nang mamatay ang daddy niya dahil sa cardiac arrest. Kung tama ang tantiya ko, wala pang forty days mula ng mamatay ang daddy niya.

Oh dear god! This can't be!

Natutop ko ang bibig ko ng makita ko ang pangalan ng daddy niya. His daddy was the amigo of my daddy! Si Dante Rio Salvatore ang palaging kasama ng daddy sa paggo-golf. If I'm not mistaken, three years na silang friends ng daddy. But what made me ask is, how come Tanjuatco ang dala-dala niyang apelyido at hindi Salvatore kung daddy niya si Mr. Salvatore?

Is he an adopted child? O baka anak sa labas?

But what made it more questionable is the fact that all of his dad's assets was left to him. Walang natanggap maski singkong duling ang iba pang anak ni Mr. Salvatore.

"Sino ka ba talaga?" Naguguluhan ako sa kanya. Sobra.

"May problema po ba Ms. Santillan?" Tanong ni Ritchie na nakaupo sa passenger seat ng van katabi ng driver ko.

Umiling ako. "Can you please stop by at the nearest coffee shop? I need to work out on something."

"Sure ma'am."

Pilit kong inalis ang mga bagay-bagay na nasa isipan ko patungkol kay Yousef Kyron Tanjuatco. I got worried when he resigned on the university that's why I had to run a background check on him. I started googling his name and I saw those facts. Galing sa intelligence team (yes, we have our own team of realiable private investigators) ng pamilya ang patungkol sa mga personal na detalye na may kinalaman sa relasyon nila ng daddy niya.

I was thinking of referring him to one of mommy's friends who owns a university. Nakonsensiya kasi ako ng magresign siya ng dahil sa akin but just like what I said, he doesn't need it.

I was disturbed by the loud buzz of my phone. Nakapikit kong dinampot iyon. Pinapasakit talaga ni Tanjuatco ang ulo ko.

"Yes, hello?"

"Uhm, is this Ms. Avery Rain Santillan?"

"Yes, who's this?" Hinilot ko na ang sentido ko dahil sa sobrang pagkirot nito.
