Chapter 10
A Night with Gideon
Gideon tightens his grip on his steering wheel. He was clenching his jaw and doing his best to stop himself from taking a U turn and drive back to the jeepâs terminal and drag that woman to his car. He should be in hospital at this point of time or in his office, working his as* off with piles of paper that he needs to study and sign.
His father was in the hospital. He had a minor heart attack yesterday. He and Carollete dragged their ass out of the mall and rushed towards the hospital when his mother called. His daddy is old, looking for a grandson. I think the old man thought the boy was just being pulled by the ribs.
He was in a meeting earlier even though he lacked sleep because he took care of his father yesterday. He accompanied his mommy during her stay in the hospital because maybe something will happen here. It often becomes hysterical and panics in such situations. His old woman lost her consciousness often, really need to be watched. 1 He was having his meeting with the engineers and architects about the airport that his father was planning years ago. Because they donât have an airport in Bicol-in Camarines Sur, to be exact. That is good for tourism especially since there is only one airport in that province. And according to his research, the current airport was not doing that well.
He should be focused on his architects and engineersâ plan. The plan they suggested was in front of him. But why his f-cking mind was flying to Vesarius Airlines. He didnât have a brain about what the person in front of him was saying, he flew towards his office and it seemed like a broken plate he repeatedly asked if the woman who always entered his mind was there. 1 He didnât stop the secretary, Cleo, to ask if the interns from the university had arrived even though they had school at nine oâclock. He was disturbing his secretary at seven in the morning to ask that question repeatedly.
He even made sure that Lyzza Pacammaraâs name was at the top even though the names of the students who passed the head HR interview were in alphabetical order. When Cleo informed him that the interns had arrived and the girl he was looking for was not there, he felt as if he had been kicked in the ass and was restless in his seat.
If that meeting wasnât really important, he probably would have dismissed the four engineers and three architects he was talking to. Just then, his father might feel bad and have another heart attack because of him. Maybe it will be fixed, poor mother and her brother. Heâs still a ghost. 2 He keeps asking Cleo for a report about the woman. He knew that he was bothering his secretary that if he wasnât her boss, she would probably tell him that he was bothering her with his pile of work.
After his meeting he returned to the hospital. His father is already awake and since he needs to rest like the doctor said, he will be the one to fly tomorrow to Davao for his business meeting. Itâs okay. He doesnât know if how will he juggle his jobs? He made Cleo adjust the number of his meetings tomorrow. . It was better when he was in the military. He was very close to the trigger of the gun. He was just thrown away by Granada. And when he gets stuck in the mission, he quickly puts him to sleep with his fist or he breaks the enemyâs neck so that he can no longer form with him.
A Night with Gideon ï¤Chapter 9 Ang Makasalanang Asawa ni Mr. Whitman ï¤Kabanata 100 He did not know what evil spirit possessed him. He admits that he was attracted to that woman. She was young and determined. She always caught his attention â Then and Now.
He knows heâs attracted to Lyzza but why does he feel like heâs being poked in the ass when he doesnât know what sheâs doing? Why does he always squirm when he pokes him? Heâs only been here for a few years, ah. âYeah! You are just ten years older than her, Moron,â said a part of his brain sarcastically. But he was stubborn because he didnât listen to the voice in his brain. What if heâs thirty-three and sheâs only twenty-three and young? It doesnât mean that he wonât like him anymore because he is old and he likes a child too.
But isnât it true that if the woman looks up, itâs as if her eyes are not here. Itâs like she has a contagious disease if she avoids him. Avoid avoiding the woman. Heâs not the type! He washed the palm of his face. He is very thin, even his egg, at the thought that the woman who takes his interest does not like him. 3 âWoman! Itâs your fault, Alejandro.â
With that, he maneuvers the wheel and takes a hard U turn. Good thing he wasnât along the highway where there were a lot of cars. It wasnât rush hour yet so there were only a few people with him. i But his sudden U turn earned a horn and cussed and shouted for him. He was almost hit by a four-wheeler truck. Fortunately, he goes with Riguel and Alejandro to the racing school when they are in high school. He quickly avoided the truck and sped away.
He ignored the cheap ones and shouted at him. Squeezing as fast as he could, he drove his car back to the Jeep terminal, where he left Lyzza. That girl is still limping, maybe what has happened. But when he finally reached the place, the Jeep already left. He washed his palm over his own face again and took big steps back to the car. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel of the car before taking out his cellphone to call Ms. Hellen Echavez who is obsessed with the flight schedules of their interns. 10 âIâll see you tomorrow, Baby. Iâll see you tomorrow.â
