CHAPTER 11

~*~

“It's not that I am not interested in women. It's just... I already have someone that I like."

I was a little bit shocked by that, so I glanced at him for a few seconds.

"You already have someone you like? Then, why don't you marry her instead?"

I saw him looking at me, so I looked at him for a second. "Why?" I questioned, before turning my attention to the road.

"That person is still young."

"Huh? How young is she?"

"How old are you?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I'm asking your age."

"Why are you asking my age?" I asked in confusion.

"Just answer it."

"I'm turning 19 next month. Why?”

"That person is as young as you."

"Really? Where is she now? Is she schooling? What school is she attending? Does she like you too? If so, won't she be angry when she finds out you're getting married?" I'm curious, so I'm asking him a lot of questions.

He chuckled. "You're a small guy, but talks a lot, huh? That's not your problem anymore, Jake. Wait, where are we?" He asked and that's when I also realized that we had passed.

Ow! I did not realize the way.

"I don't know. Where are we?" I asked, pretending to be clueless.

He laughed a little. "We have passed. Turn the car around."

"Okay." I turned the car around.

Tch. Luckily, we didn't go far.

Just a few minutes later, we arrived in front of his company.

"Let's go," he said, and he got out of my car. I didn't follow him. Instead, I open the window of my car.

"I'm not going inside. Go ahead. I'll stay here."

"Will you wait for me here?"

"I'll stay here."

"That's not the answer to my question. Come out and come with me. I don't trust you for now."

I frowned. "What?" What? Tch. I really can’t escape this crazy guy!

"Come on. Hurry. I don't have much time." He said, looking at his wristwatch.

Damn it!

I have no better choice. I took off my seatbelt and got out of my car.

"Good boy," he smiled and winked at me, then he walked into the building.

Tss. I slightly rolled my eyeballs and I followed him.

When we entered the building, he was immediately greeted by a man. I think it's his secretary. He greeted Lukeweynn as well as me. I just slightly bowed my head at him. And he looks surprised to see our faces.

"Sir, what happened to you?" He asked Lukeweynn.

Oh, damn. I forgot that our clothes have a little dirt. There is also a small bruise on the side of his lip.

"Well, we just encountered some bad guys. Anyway, do I have an extra suit in the office?" Lukeweynn asked him as we went inside the lift.

"Yes, there are some extra clothes there, Sir."

"How many?"

"Three, Sir.”

"Perfect. Tell them to wait for five minutes. I'll just get changed."

"Yes, Sir. I will tell them."

"Thanks,"

The lift sounded when we got to the eleventh floor. We both exit the lift. His secretary excuses himself and goes in another direction. I think he is going to the meeting. Lukeweynn and I, on the other hand, walked to his office.

As we walked to his office, I looked around. His company building is so huge and amazing. You can see that it is really successful. I turned my gaze at him. I can only see his back since he is walking ahead of me.

Anyway, how can he manage to run a business like this at a young age? He must be really into business. No. He is a genius.

While me? I don't know. I want to run our business also someday, but I think it's never gonna happen. I feel like I don't have any interest in the business. But that doesn't mean I don't know anything about business. I know some, not that much. I'm an engineering student, and it's obvious what I want to be eventually.

I stopped in contemplation when his head turned around and looked at me. I quickly avoided his eyes, pretending to wander. I hope he didn't notice me staring at him.

After a few minutes of walking, we reached his office. Whoah! His office is also huge and wide. It is very clean and organized. He has a nice desk also. I wonder how our company looks and Dad's office too.

Yeah, I haven't been there yet, so I don't know.

"Your clothes are also ruined. You should also get change. Here." He offered me a polo.

"No. I'm fine. It's not that totally ruined." I refused.

"Yes, it is." He insisted and before I could react, he gave me the white polo.

"I told you I'm fine. I'm not used to wearing other people's clothes."

"I haven't worn that polo yet, so you can wear it." He said as he removed his necktie.

I raised my eyebrows. "Really?"

"Yeah. You don't believe me? There's still a price tag on it. I just bought it a few days ago."

I looked at the polo he gave me and it even had a price tag. I checked the price tag and it cost Php3999.

"Are you sure? This polo looks..." I was unable to continue my sentence when I saw him half-naked. He just took off his polo in front of me.

I stared at his body from his broad shoulders, down to his healthy chest, to his six-pack abs. Just then, I remembered the picture of him that I searched for on Google. I was wrong in saying he looked better in the picture.

Wait! Why am I staring at his body!?

Damn! Go back to your senses, Jake. You're crazy!

I immediately averted my eyes from his body and cleared my throat.

"Hey, you just can't take off your shirt in front of me, like we've known each other for a long time," I said, a little bit stuttering.

Damn! What's happening to me? I cleared my throat again.

"Why? What's wrong with taking off my shirt in front of you? We're both men."
