"Why did you passed out last night kuya?"
Puno ng pag aalala ang boses ng kapatid.
"Did you overdrunk? ——or.... Oh God——are you sick? What do you feel?—wait, stay here I will ask mom to call doc ——"
That's it. He cut her off.
"Stop over reacting Jean. I passed out just because?——I drunk too much." D*mn. He lied. Pagtatawanan sya ng mga ito kung malaman nila ang tunay na dahilan.
That woman! Tsk! He'll get back to her one way or another. That's a promise. No body messed up with him and get away just like that. He's not a Steele for nothing. He tsked.
*************
Jean left his room, he's alone with Eros now.
"Overdrunk my ass?"
Eros was teasing him. He. Knows. F*ck! He's the owner ofcourse he would know. D*mn it!
"Shut up." angil niya sa kaibigan.
If it's not you who leaved me last night I wouldn't be——
Eros cut him off.
"and why did Myra punched you?"
He's teasing him.
'Myra. —— So that's her name huh'.
He grinned.
"and you still have the guts to grin huh? What's happening to you pare?"natatawang tanong ni Eros sa kaibigan.
He massage his temple. Trying so hard to control his self not to puch this moron. He can't do that. Can he? No he can't. He knows. He might end up humiliating him with his family. He has to stay nice to him atleast.
"Just leave now, I need to rest".
Sagot niya.
Natatawa namang tumango ito at tumalikod na, pero bago pa man ito tuluyang makalabas ng kanyang silid...
"tell that M-yra—— I don't accept sorries and apologies".
Naiiling na tinalikuran na lang siya ng huli.

Myra Bianca POV
The next night in the bar....
"Sir Eros pinatawag nyo daw po ako?"
"Yes. Have a seat."
Itinuro nito and upuan kaharap ng table niya.
Nasa opisina ng bar sila ngayon, ipinatawag siya nito para kausapin regarding sa nangyari nang nakaraang gabi. He maybe a bully to his friends but he don't tolerate violence at work.
"I know you're a good employee Myra, you're hard working and smart, so I Just can't understand why did you end up punching a customer? ——a friend of mine to be exact."
" I am sorry for the trouble that I cause last night sir; pasensya na po sir, alam kong mabait kayong boss pero bastos po ang kaibigan nyo."
Naguguluhang nakatitig sakanya si Eros kaya nag patuloy siya.
"Your friend tried to kiss me sir, I just defended myself."
"He tried to ki——wait what?
Eros was in disbelief with what he just heard.
Tumango ang dalaga habang nakayuko.
" look sir, I know he's your friend——but, he's an a**hole. I'm apologising to you because I shouldn't have been violent at work——but I'm not sorry for puching that man." On her low voice.
He deserves it. She mentally conviced her self.
She knows right now that she just lost her job. Sayang dahil malaki ang kinikita niya dito,bukod kasi sa sahod niya malaki din ang nakukuha niyang tip lalo na kung galante ang customer.
"I can't fire you."
Napa-angat siya ng tingin. She's not fired. Totoo ba to?
"Kulang tayo sa tao, you know that, right? But I don't tolerate violence at work. Ayoko ng maulit pa ito. Understood?"
Dugtong nito.
Tumango siya ng bahagya kahit na sa totoo lang parang may fire works ngayon sa dibdib nya sa sobrang saya. Hindi siya nawalan ng trabaho. Kung pwede lang niyang sugurin ng yakap ang boss niya ay kanina pa nya ginawa.
"Thank you Sir, thank you po talaga."
He just noded and dismissed her already.
****************
"did you tell her?" bungad ni Raegan sa kaibigan.
Eros called Raegan after that conversation with Myra.
"No.——but she told me something else. "
Eros on his teasing voice.
"No? You didn't tell her and you're making fun of me right now? Inis na turan ni Raegan.
" Woah! Wait dude. I'm not her. Bakit sa akin ka nagagalit?"
"stop annoying me Eros will you!"
Hindi naman nasindak ang kaibigan sa pag asik niya kundi mas lalo pa siyang inasar.
"bakit mo kasi hinalikan?" natatawa pa ito habang inaasar siya.
"f**k you. I didn't kissed her damn it!"
"ows?" si Eros ulit.
"fine. I did. I mean—–almost.. But–—"
"She punched you before you could even kissed her? hahaha."
Pinag tatawanan siya ng kaibigan at lalo lang siyang nababadtrip. He has never been humiliated like this his whole life——and guest what? Dahil lamang sa isang babae? Damn it.
In States women were after him. He can bed them anytime. Anywhere. He doesn't even have to spend a single amount just to bed them. Women beg him para lang makasama siya. And now, there's this woman.
"Aarrg" He shouted in frustration.
Sa sobrang inis sa kaibigan pinatay na lamang niya ang tawag naibato pa niya ang cellphone sa kung saan bago ibinagsak ang katawan sa kama.
"She must be working right now."
He unconciously thinks about her. And it's frustrating him. He shouldn't be thinking about that woman.
She's just an unnecessary trouble for him.
"Yeah right. Just forget about her already". He told himself.
