Chapter 31

STEVENSON
I was busy watching videos when Draeden knocked. My friend's bully is here again. I'm out of work now and I will see it again.
"Hey what are you watching p *** s ***?
I told you don't put your hands on it because you can taste all women's too," he said and his mouth never really had a break.
"Assholes don't make me look like you. I'm satisfied with Andrea, I know how to wait." annoyed by my language.
"Hey, I'm sober, Tanya and I are sober," he replied. And it's good that it's new because if I don't, I'll ignore him. He's a good catch with his girlfriend, so don't make him look crazy, he's really mad at the amazon Andrea.
"It would be good if I didn't hit you on the wall," I said seriously.
"You're hard on me buddy, your temper. Let's just double date. What are you going to do, I'll tell Tanya to tell Andrea." it's language. Look at me at once and wait for my answer.
"We don't have a date tomorrow, and I don't want to bother," I said.
"Oh really! So you can be single. You have bad intentions with people." pang aasar nito.
"You're crazy, what are you saying there. We'll just eat at the restaurant I reserved. You'll stop at Draeden Villas so you don't hurt me now." I'm threatening here. He said that he would annoy me again. Such a bad trip!
"Can you stay away first," I said because I've been annoyed with it before? I'm not in the mood to tease him because I'm happy now. So I don't want bad vibes at first, because of its inherent ugliness I can't help but let it go. He will also be quiet when I don't scold him. Just like today he suddenly fell silent and asked something serious.
"Did you tell Andrea first?" It's a question.
"I haven't found the time yet and I also don't know how and where to start," I replied with a deep sigh.
"How can you just hide that first? It's hard buddy with your son you're still flirting with his mother. After all, you can be a family." It's a promise. At least he had a point in what he said, the problem is just me. I'm not ready to say it yet.
"It's okay. I also don't know what to say, especially since Andrea told me that she doesn't care about Axel's father, which is me." my language.
"My buddy is just a piece of advice. It's still up to you if you follow, there's nothing wrong with trying," he added.
"Thanks, buddy,y, but it's up to fate. Right now I'm happy to be with my mother somehow." I said and it came up to me and patted me on the back.
"Can you do that buddy, are you still, you're the braver of our barracks so I know you can get through that. Not right now but soon, you'll be able to face him and be honest." I said before going out the door.
I was left wondering if this is light time for me to let you know, or should I look for a better opportunity. My mind is so chaotic that I can't figure it out.
Until my secretary came in and told me that everything was set so I could announce it later. All the staff had been informed earlier so I was the only one waiting below the convention hall. I fix myself first before going out the door. Kabi on the other hand greets me as employees hurry down. When the elevator opened and came out Ms. Barbara saw and approached me immediately.
Here is this woman again, if she hugs me you think we have a relationship, I just smiled at her somehow I don't want to be rude here. I said goodbye to her so that I wouldn't see her, but she followed when I entered so the employees suddenly whispered that they were just quiet when I went up on stage and looked at them.
They worked hard when we arrived and had a good afternoon with me. My eyes are looking for Miss Andrea but I couldn't find her, where is that woman? Don't tell her that she won't come here. I stayed on stage for a few more minutes before speaking.
I announced about the Grand Anniversary of the hotel and there will be special events where everyone will attend and there will be a King and Queen for tonight. You know that this has been happening before and this time the prize is higher by half a million.
Everyone applauded and rejoiced at the news. I still looked around but he wasn't there. Until he entered with a hotel unit manager, my face was suddenly serious but I didn't show it. I'm not going to lose to that one. So I thought of bullshit.
"Ms. Andrea VillaRuiz please come on s, age," I call her full name. And the employees started whispering. I saw his surprised face, he didn't know my surprise so the man with him got it. What I don't want at all is that I am robbed of what I have. I saw him walking towards the stage with his head bowed until I waited for him to come up here and help the whisper grow louder.
"What nonsense is this?" he asked me in a whisper while simply smiling at the people.
"Just wait, and I'm the one who should ask why you're with that? Huh! I asked in a whisper. He didn't answer and just stared at me.
Maybe you are wondering why Ms. Andrea is here. Andrea is with me on stage, because I want to let you all know that. I'm officially courting her, and to those who want to court her back off. It's up to me to be arrogant in front of everyone as long as mine is mine.
The whispers of the people who heard grew louder and later they applauded. I saw that she was about to cry with annoyance so I approached her.
"Are you okay?" I will ask.
"Hmm! What do you think? I'm okay after your announcement. You don't think about how I feel anymore. Are you numb," she said during the walk-out.
I just spoke into the microphone and I quickly followed her. It's like I want to be bored with myself now. Haist!
I caught up with her in the corridor wiping away tears. I approached her and rubbed her shoulder but she snubbed it.
"What's more, are you happy now? Tell me. Don't you know how many women will get mad at me for what you did?" I shout here and I don't care if anyone hears my voice and I'm not afraid even if he's still my boss.
"I'm sorry If you feel that way." I sincerely apologize to her.
"What am I? What did I do to you?" It's a question.
I offered to drive her, but she refused.
"No need. I can drive. Can you please don't follow me first? I can't control myself." She says before finally leaving the hotel. I was left speechless and I didn't even plan to follow her. I got even more annoyed, and I just looked at her fading away.
I missed it again, what should I do? It seems that she was even angrier than I was and it looks like she will be able to stay with me right away.
"Stevenson's. Don't you think" I blamed myself?
I don't know if I look like I'm going to face anything else here so I left the company and walked to my car. I drove fast and was taken to my favorite hangout when I was sad and upset. Where I first met and secretly loved him.
I ordered a few buckets of beer. I wanted to call Draeden but when I dialed his number, I was suddenly embarrassed. I always bother with it whenever I have a problem. So now I'm alone so I can think. What steps will I take to make us okay again? Even if I have a hard time, I will do it.
I opened another one and drank it straight and without lowering the bottle until I was exhausted. As I sipped every drop of wine I was quietly listening to the band tonight. I opened two more until I ran out of three buckets of beer when I was alone. I was a bit dizzy so I told the waiter to call Draeden Villa until I was pulled drowsy. And I no longer knew what was going on around me.
Due to the noise of the music coming from the band, the waiter didn't hear what he said properly and instead called him Draeden Villa, but Andrea VillaRuiz ...
