EPISODE 2

" Elle, there's a girl at the lobby again insisting she's Mr. Pillado's girlfriend " Mina told me and I can see that she's panicking a bit

" I wonder who was it this time " I just sighed as I got up and fix my coat

" Honestly, she's already causing a commotion down there and that's really making us embarrassed, she's just so demanding " she said

She definitely sounded like she's so done with this repeating scenarios almost thrice a week, they'd throw tantrums here saying they want to see Mr. Pillado and that they're the legal girlfriend

I, myself have had enough of it too but I could never decline my boss right?

I've been slapped for who knows how many times and been insulted too because of my damn boss with no heart

He could never even settle himself with one woman, he'd let me find a woman for him and he'd date that girl for a day but then after that he'd dump her with no reasons.

He's a total jerk for making girls cry just so he could pleasure himself and satisfy his needs

" Eldreesel " I heard Mr. Pillado called

" Sir, it seems like it's another girl claiming to be your girlfriend again " I said

" Yeah, that was Coleen. She texted me and called me several times that I had to block her " he said

Tch, look at him looking so problematic as if he didn't even do anything wrong for this to happen again

Just what the hell is he promising them?

Why is he even letting these girls address themselves as his girlfriend if he's planning to leave them just after spending one night in bed?

They were merely just his toys and playthings, he's using them to have fun because he couldn't settle with one woman. He told me he just hated to be committed in a long term relationships, and that he is not fond of it, but I don't think that's his reason..

But whatever may his reason be, I can never just go up and straightforwardly ask him what's his main reason for being like that

" You can go back to your work and I'll just deal with her " I said and he thanked me before I left the room

I'am more than prepared to be slapped right now, that Coleen was a real pain in the ass. She was so irritating when I first met her. How did even Mr. Pillado managed to stay with that woman for 24 hours?

As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw a woman in a fitting red off shoulder above the knee dress staring my way with those furious eyes

I cleared my throat before I stopped right in front of her, I can see that she is totally angry and disappointed that I was the one whom she saw and not Mr. Pillado

" Didn't I say I wanted to see Tyson? " she said emphasizing Tyson

Oh? She got the guts to call Mr. Pillado by his first name when they're not even official. She's quite impressive huh?

" I'm sorry but we didn't agree to it that Mr. Pillado would make his way down here just to see you, Miss " I said as I try to make it sound politely

" And why is that? Didn't you know who I' am? I'm his girlfriend! So get out of the way and I'll just go to his office " she said and attempted to penetrate

I stood still and didn't let her have her way

" What the hell is wrong with you all! Stop touching me and just let me go! Argh! "

Damn this woman is causing too much commotion, finally she let go and moved back a little when I showed no intention of letting her get through me

" Are you done? Can I finish what I'm about to say now miss? I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound rude but you're causing us so much trouble already. We have work to do and you're delaying us. So hear me out and then you can leave as per what the boss said "

She looked a bit stunned by how my voice sounded, she didn't say a word and kept her posture, damn finally you could listen, tch

" The boss told me to relay this message to you, here I even recorded it just so you'll believe it's legitimately from his mouth. I'm pretty sure you can recognize his voice since you're clearly so obsessed with Mr. Pillado " I said

I turned the speaker on medium volume and got the my phone near her ear so she could clearly hear it

" I don't remember telling you that we're official and that we're in a relationship. Stop causing commotion down there or I'll call a police to escort you out for trespassing and causing trouble for everyone "

I'm pretty sure the other people around us heard it too as I heard muffled laughs behind our backs and they're staring at her with pity and a hint of disgust

" What?! What are you laughing and looking at?! You enjoy this?! You enjoy seeing someone in a miserable state?! Damn you all! Damn you! Damn you!! "

She just shouted as she continuously hit my chest with her little hands

What the hell, why do I have to always become the punching bag?

I held her wrist when her punches are getting slower and lighter, she didn't look at me but instead she continued sobbing and her forehead landed on my chest

" I'm really sorry for what happened with you, but please do know when to stop too. Mr. Pillado isn't the only man around you and you're definitely beautiful in your own ways and features, stop embarrassing yourself anymore just because you wanna chase a man who doesn't even treat you special. You've caused so much disturbance that these people hated you and pity you. So just stop now. "

" I- I'm really sorry.... " she said in between her sobs

I guided her to a safe corner where other will not be able to see her cry, and I signaled Mina to calm things down and get the operation going

I let go of her wrist and she leaned on the wall with her head down, I slipped my hand on my right pocket and hand her the handkerchief I brought

She was hesitant at first if she's going to accept it, but I just smiled at her a bit, just then she accepted and used it

" Why are you still being so nice to me? I even hit you and pour my anger on you " she said

So now you're reflecting, I just sighed and slipped both my hands on my pocket as I lean my back on the wall and stare at the people at the lobby

" You were still just a victim even though you caused trouble, that doesn't erase the fact that you were still hurt because of my boss " I said

I can feel her stare but I didn't look back, pretending I didn't notice it

" You don't seem surprised at all and you spoke like you've dealt with something like this for so many times? " she said in a confused tone

I just chuckled and sighed again

" I feel bad to break your heart for the second time again, but yeah, you're not the only woman he's ever dated for just 24 hours or less. I had to deal with them every single time because my boss doesn't like dealing with girls " I said

Silence filled us for a while, so I looked at her and found out that she was still looking at me with such unreadable eyes. It seems like she's stunned? amazed? pitying? What was it? The emotions were definitely mixed up that you can't even read her

" What is it? " I asked

She sighed and looked away

" I'm amazed that you still kept working for someone who's as heartless and coward as that man. You're definitely a good person and a gentleman at that, you don't deserve to be treated like a dog and a shield whom he puts in front whenever he hides from his responsibilities " she said

Well, I've already thought about that too but the thing is, I can't afford to lose a job right now because it's seriously hard to find a full time job that pays well too, I need money to keep living. Even though Carlo is here, I can never just put all the burden to him.

" I'll call a cab for you, fix yourself. Let's just use the back exit if you're too embarrassed to walk in the lobby " I said

She wiped her tears and followed behind me because I walked away first

She thanked me again before the cab leaves

Finally, I thought I'll get slapped in the face again. I felt a bit of pain in my chest but I ignored it. Geez, of all the things why do girls always choose to hit a man's chest or slap them?

" Elle! Are you alright? Did that Coleen hurt you? " Carlo immediately asked and examined me with his eyes

' Gosh look at you guys being all lovey dovey " Gino said

I blushed and I laughed a bit as I tell them that I'm fine

I felt a bit guilty lying to Carlo so I tiptoed a bit for my mouth to reach Carlo's ear and whispered to him that I was feeling a bit hurt because my chest got hit hard a few times

--------------------------------------------

Just as when he was about to check on Eldreesel as he hear the others call his name, he witnessed a sight that he doesn't want to see

He saw Eldreesel tiptoed and whispered something to Carlo's ear and then the two both escaped safely from other's sight heading to the bathroom

It irritates him to see Eldreesel with someone other than him

He doesn't know why, and he hates what he is feeling. Why is he reacting just like that to Eldreesel...
