Chptr 27 Goldwyn Sisters

Logging out, Ajy knocked Erka and Ruby's room. Erka opened the door and he entered. He went besides Ruby and touched her forehead. This small gesture awakened the kid. "How are you feeling kiddo?"

Ruby, stretched her body as she made yawning sounds. She then jumped out of the bed full of vigor and hugged Ajy, "Sorry for making you worried Kuya!"

Looking at that scene, Erka sobbed silently as she imagined them as her husband and daughter having an affectionate time. Ajy just rubbed Ruby's head, "Next time listen to me alright?"

Ruby nodded smiling. Ajy then pinched her cheeks and told her to prepare as they are going to have an exercise. Erka asked if she could join in which Ajy agreed.

Leaving the house, the three walked towards the park. They then went jogging for a round and saw that the two were already out of breath. He told them to wait in one of the spots as he continued running. After two rounds, he told them again to jog with him. Ajy had three rounds when the two finished a round. He then decided to finish his early routine and helped the two get home. He then taught them simple stretching to make their muscles relax, "Ruby, what we did today will only just be a part of our training. There's more to come so I want you to be prepared. Erka, kindly tell Silka and Alodia if they are willing to join us."

An hour after Ajy started working, he heard a knock from his office. "Come in."

Two beautiful women entered, one was Jazz, the secretary of the CEO and the other was Myrtle, the eldest of the Goldwyn siblings.

Myrtle was already briefed a while ago that she would be meeting Ajy and would also be handling the cooperation between the two companies. Myrtle wanted to retort but the CEO told her that only Ajy knew more of the Goldwyn company than any other staff. She swallowed her anger and pride as she accepted it consoling herself that this would be their company's chance to be recognized and be one that would stand at the top.

"Sit down and let me finish this," Ajy authoritatively said not even giving them a glance. He always hated being bothered while he was at work, and he would always give this superior vibe when someone disturbs him.

Occasionally, he would stand up and write something on the board located at the rightmost corner of his office. Then, he would go back on his seat and type something. After eight minutes, Ajy stopped, went towards his desk and forked out a folder then handed it towards Jazz.

"So to whom do I owe to the sudden visit from the very beautiful, elegant and seductive Myrtle?" Ajy winked at Myrtle acting like he doesn't know the reason why.

Instead of Myrtle, it was Jazz who talked after scanning the folder that Ajy gave her, "You want a security guard to be the next Chief of Staff?"

"Tell your complaints to the CEO. I won't see you out," Although Ajy was just a supervisor, he would always treat the secretary of the CEO like an equal or sometimes, his own personnel. Jazz would never complain about this since she knew how dedicated Ajy while working and how the CEO truly admired and cared for him like he was his own brother.

"You hungry?" Ajy turned his gaze towards Myrtle. She just ignored him, "Guess you have to wait for me here then, be back at 1 pm."

Myrtle didn't say anything and was curious as to why he would come back at 1 pm when she just checked the time and was still 9:43 am. She wondered if he was allowed to have a break for 3 hours. Left with no other choice, she chased Ajy and silently followed him.

At the parking lot, Ajy casually entered his car and didn't even invite Myrtle or open the door for her. This made Myrtle annoyed, though they have some issues with each other, she expected him to at least invite her to his car. Indignant, she still entered his car. Ajy just smiled and went closer to her, his face was just an inch away to hers. He pulled the seatbelt and inserted it into its slot. The annoyance Myrtle felt was suddenly gone as she was now feeling embarrassed like a teenage girl.

After a half hour of driving, Ajy pulled over his car in front of a construction site that had just started. He opened the door for Myrtle but upon seeing the muddy road, she decided not to move out of the car. "Not coming out?"

Myrtle ignored him as she didn't even bulge an inch, "Oh I guess you didn't come here for the cooperation then."

"But... " Myrtle wanted to say that she can't walk on the muddy road since she was wearing high heels. And as if Ajy read her mind, he carried her the lover's way. This made her squeak as it was too sudden. She was also trying to break free from him but his next words made her so obedient, "One more struggle and I will let you fall."

Embarrassed, Myrtle just stayed silent and was able to smell Ajy's manly scent and it made her so comfortable. She kind of felt the assurance and protection of a man within him while she listened to his heartbeat.

"Whoaw! Little Ajy's back carrying a damsel in his arms."

"Yeah! That's our boss."

A lot of voices were heard that distracted the serene feeling of Myrtle she was feeling for the first time in her life. This made her face become beet red.

Those voices were from the constraction workers that Ajy used to work with. They were howling, whistling and cheering for him. Even the foreman, engineers and architects were wearing a wide smile on their faces.

Settling Myrtle down, "Let me introduce you all to our partner who's also going to supervise the construction of this building, the eldest of the Goldwyn siblings, Miss Myrtle.

Upon hearing the name Goldwyn, the people around wore confused expressions. They knew about the issue between Ajy and the Goldwyn family so they were wondering why he was cooperating with them.

"You mean you are willing to cooperate with us?" Myrtle never expected the sudden approval of their cooperation. She was caught off guard upon seeing their stares. She realized the reason behind their stares. The atmosphere became awkward so she had no choice but to disrupt the awkwardness. But the result was futile as the people around were waiting for Ajy's response.

"Wasn't it clear?" Ajy smiled amused.

"But the papers aren't with me," Myrtle replied with a low voice.

"Let's deal with that later," Ajy simply shrugged and let them discuss the arrangements of the building construction. Since they were all professionals, the awkwardness was easily set aside.

While the others were busy discussing, Ajy went towards the site and mingled with those people whom he used to work with.

"Been almost two years since we last met you brother, how were you?" Bansot greeted.

"It's nice to see you smiling again after knowing about your son!" Tisoy seriously said and smiled.

"Let's go drink sometimes, the water's my treat." Tikboy laughed.

"Tsk! Water? Don't worry brother, I can get us a bottle." Mang Amboy winked.

"An empty bottle?" Tikboy commented that it made them all laugh.

"I won't worry about their treats since mine is the best. I got the stories covered." Inggo also joked.

"Karaoke?" Bansot suggested.

"Settled then, since we have water, an empty bottle and stories, I can get us some hot chicks." Balang proudly said.

"How old are the chicks?" Tikboy asked.

"Around twenty to twenty five I think," Balang replied.

"Then they are considered chickens. And since they are hot then we can assume they are either fried, grilled or lechon." Tikboy jokingly said showing a face full of knowledge as if he was so serious. His reaction made the people around laugh.

These were the people whom Ajy used to hang out with when he was still a construction worker. This familiar scenario was very nostalgic to him. "Saturday night, Drizzle Sizzle, sky's the limit, my treat!"

"Yeah!"

"Great!"

"That's our bro!"

"Let me tell my wife earlier!"

After an hour, Ajy and Myrtle were inside the Meet and Dine Restaurant looking for a vacant table when two thugs stopped them on their tracks. One of them was about to molest Myrtle but Ajy suddenly grabbed Myrtle's waist towards him and evaded the hand of the molester. "Nobody's allowed to touch my woman!"

This action of Ajy ignited Myrtle's slumbering heart. It was her first time being protected by a man. Not even her father nor brothers were able to protect her since she always showed her coldness towards people around her. She became independent at such a young age. But this time, she felt like she needed a man whom she can rely on.

Mira, Myrtle's sister and Ajy's ex-girlfriend was on her way to the Meet and Dine Restaurant to meet her client. As she went inside, she happened to witness the scene and the words of Ajy. This made her so infuriated, irritated and at the same time jealous. She never expected that the sister whom she idolized and respected would be a deceiver. These feelings colluded her mind that she instantly rushed towards her sister and gave her a very clear and loud slap, "What a bitch you are my dear sister! Tell me, were you the one who killed my son so you could just be with his father?"

Seeing this, the thugs immediately brightened up as they saw Mira's looks. They were about to molest her when a woman wearing a cop uniform immediately used her fighting skills and subdued the thugs in just a few seconds. She then called her department and sent those two to prison. The owner and some diners celebrated when the thugs were finally caught, they can now fully dine in a relaxed manner. The owner also showed a gratitude by giving the policewoman a free food coupon.

As for Ajy, he was supporting Myrtle after being slapped and staggered backwards. He then guided her to a chair and sat beside her. He called the waiter as if Mira and the policewoman weren't even there.

Seeing her sister being taken care of by Ajy, Mira felt a pang in her heart. She felt guilty after slapping Myrtle but the pain and jealousy were more intense.
