What If… Part 8

I locked myself in my room whenever Michelle is at home since we arrived from Baguio. I stayed there until Michelle left for work and before.she’s back. I still have 2 days to compose myself and back to reality na.

Ready or not, Phase 2 Project here I come!

As the perfect gentleman that he is, Voltaire kept his distance.

Shet sya! How can I fall out of love if he is so goddamn perfect in my eyes. God, I love Voltaire! Nobody can come close in comparison…come to think of it…not even Renz and I almost married…well eloped with him.

Buti na lang at may malaking project to keep me busy.

But…talaga bang 6 months na nakalipas since Voltaire proposed?

Totoo nga na nagresign na sya. Totoo nga na di na sya babalik ng US. Totoo nga na dito na sya magwowork.

hahaha for someone supposedly not intrested, ang dami kong alam! Gaga din kasi yang si Michelle daming gimik…

…nandyang kunyari nakikipagtsismisan sa isang common friend namin pero halata namang nagpaparinig lang ng ano update kay Voltaire

…minsan naman iimbitahin si Voltaire sa bahay kapag wala ako pero sinisuguradong magpapang-abot kami at maiilang sa isat isa hanggang makapasok ako sa kwatro ko

…tapos iiwan ang cellphone malapit as akin na naka-on ang alarm for an event ni Voltaire. Reminder kasi invited daw sya. Ako pa tuloy mauutusang mag snooze.I locked myself in my room whenever Michelle is at home since we arrived from Baguio. I stayed there until Michelle left for work and before she’s back.

Maliit lang ang mundo. Lalo pa at dun sya nagwork sa client ko. Totoo ngang may kakilala sya, the owner. I’ve heard na pinasama nya sa contract nya na di kami magwowork together, directly or indirectly.

See, gentleman. Giving me space. Isang buwan mahigit din nung kinulit kami ng media at sumikat sa social media. Ang daming nag upload and share nung videos ng incident sa Baguio. I was bashed and haunted. Mabuti na lang at behaved ang team ko, yung nasa company and sa clients namin.

Yun lang…my comfort zone will be at risk soon. In a few days, my team and I will be staying and reporting for work sa office ng client namin. Sa office ni Voltaire. Part ng contract yun na dun kami magrereport for work sa soft launch ng program. To oversee operations and address whatever glitches arise.

Good luck Claire if di mo sya makasalubong sa lobby. Same office for a week…iwas galore.

My dreaded Monday came and consistent to Michelle’s role in life…

“Besh, ready ka na?”

“Yep, this is it. Bakasyon then on to the next project after this”

“Hindi…
