"What in tarnation had brought you here?"
Zach asked sourly, nang makabawi mula sa pagkabigla.
"Im not here to have a chit-chat with you Mr. Accuesta!"
She casually removed her coat, hindi nakawala sa kanya ang pagkabigla sa reaction ni Zach, napakunot ito.
She sat herself in the executive chair na naroon at hinarap niya ito ng naka de kwatro.
Zach whistle ng tumambad sa mga mata nito ang kanyang alindog, agad naman itong nag iwas ng tingin sa kanya.
Pero hindi nakawala kay Sophia ang reaction ng katawan nito.
Zach frowned, the thing below his belly suddenly make a commotion, he was trying hard to be aroused kanina pero walang nangyari, but the mere sight of Sophie wants him to forget his sanity.
This is making me crazy! He thought,
Sophie had no idea that she was silently tormenting him.
"Wi. .wine perhaps!"
He cough to cleared his throat, parang nanuyo ang kanyang lalamunan, he even stummered.
"It's still early to celebrate" she give a discreet smile. "Now sit down!"
Para namang, walasa sariling napaupo si Zach.
"Sign it!"
Ang tinukoy niya ay ang folder na inilapag niya kanina sa mesa na tila ngayon lang napansin ng lalaki.
"What is this?"
Nakakunot noong tanong ni Zach sa kanya. She put her gun on the desk and stood up, she faced the glass wall to see the view outside.
She sighed.
"I don't have time to explain—read it, if you want!"
"Why should I sign this?"
Marahas siyang napaharap dito, she felt like all the couraged that she summoned had gone in an instant. She was about to say something pero natigil siya.
He was already signing those papers. He's the kind to say one thing and do the other or perhaps, she was an exception?
Do you trust me that much?
She almost blurted out but stop herself, hindi biro ang lakas ng loob na inipon niya para sa gabing ito, what if bigla itong matauhan?
"There!"
Zach said while closing the folder.
"Well—" this time siya naman ang napalunok. "Since you've sign it, it means all is settled!"
She said habang tinatansya ang reaction ng lalaki.
"I'll give you an hour to have a press conference, informed the public that we will be having an official wedding in three days time and—"
she suddenly paused when Zach gasped in surprised.
This idiot sign those darn paper with out even reading it! gusto niyang murahin ito, what if someone will take advantage of it.
"Our company will remain as it is, no merging, but a collaboration, instead—"
"Considered it done!"
This time she's the one who gasped in surprised.
"Im sure you're not going to regret it?"
"Im sure—"
"Let me clarify you Mr. Accuesta, as soon as I'm stepping out of this room, it will be too late for you!"
"I understand!"
He stood up and poured wine in two glasses, he give one to her.
"Cheers!" they said in chorus.
She drunk it straight and asked for another.
"Then. .I'll be going, I still have some unfinished business in here!"
She grabbed her coat and walked out. She was almost near the door when she suddenly stop and turn arround.
"Since we are officially married tonight, I expect you to behave yourself. I don't want to see with another woman!"
She possesively blurted out. "You know what I'm capable of!"
Zach smiled na ipinagtataka niya, she was expecting him to complaint or react pero wala siyang narinig dito.
She suddenly felt hurt. He probabaly knows everything is fake! She thought bitterly.
"I'll send the copies to you—!"
She paused, And with out a warning, she comes closer to him and kissed him on the edge of his lips.
"Goodnight Mr. Accuesta!"
She walked away, but what happened next was the thing she did not expect.
"Goodnight Mrs. Accuesta!"
Zach said muntik pa syang matapilok nang marinig ang sinabi nito. She felt like all her strength had gone after what he did to her.
And whether she admits it or not, she felt a jolt of tingling sensation in her stomach.
In short kinilig siya!
She repeated over and over in her brain what exactly Zach had told her. .
Goodnight Mrs. Accuesta. .
She smiled sweetly.
She went home with a content smile in her face,tila ba ngayon lang ulit siya sumaya sa tanang buhay niya.
As what Zach agreed, it was exactly an hour nang magpa press conference ito sa mismong suit ng hotel kung saan ito naroroon.
It was brief, nilinaw nito na she had no relationship, whatsoever with Jc Amparo and there will be no collaboration between AGC and Accuesta Empire.
"Our wedding will be in three days time, thank you!"
She smiled habang tinititigan ang mukha ng lalaki sa screen ng tv. Ngiting ngiti siya na tila ba isang teenager na nagka crush sa isang lalaki.
All her fantasy suddenly disappeared ng biglang tumunog ang kanyang phone, nagulantang siya sa ingay nito, she immediately turned of the tv. sa takot na may makakita sa kanya.
Kumunot ang noo niya nang makita sa screen kung sino ang caller.
You better had something nice to say! anya bago pinindot ang answer button.
"Yes?"
"The media are taken care of" ani Rain.
"Good!"
She smiled, everything is settled.
