STRINGS || MIKHAIAH

CHAPTER 37

"I like him before Cole. Noong college pa, I got blinded by Cole's sweet little lies that's why..." Aiah said.

"Oh my I think you just confessed the truth to him..." Sheena said while looking at the person behind.

It was Mikhs, he heard everything. He is just standing and listening the whole time as Aiah admit her true feelings for Mikhael since college.

"Gusto mo pala ako dati ha." Mikhs said while chuckling.

After lunch Mikhs decided to accompany Aiah back to her office. He even went to her main office to help Aiah with her things.

"Wag mo akong sanayin sa ganito Mikhael baka masanay ako." Aiah jokingly said showing her playful smile to Mikhs.

"Edi masanay ka? Kahit araw-araw pa eh." Mikhs said in response with full of sincerity in his voice.

"Sige na bumalik ka na sa office mo I know you have a lot of work to do." Aiah said.

"I don't have work today. Besides I can go to office whenever I want." Mikhs said.

Not long after a man's voice was heard entering the office.

"It's nice to finally see you again Mr. Lim" the man said.

"D-dad?" takang tanong ni Aiah dito.

"Oh? Why you look surprised? Ayaw mo ba akong makita?" Antonio said.

"S-sir good afternoon po.." Mikhs said then took a small bow as a respect.

"Good afternoon Lim, how are you? Ang tagal nating hindi nag kita ah." Antonio said then went closer to Mikhs to give him a bro hug.

"It's nice to see you din po sir. I just want to apologize about the—" Mikhael was stopped nang pigilan siya ng ama ni Aiah.

"No need to apologize Mikhs. Malaki ang tiwala ko sayo at alam kong hindi mo magagawa yun." Antonio said.

"So what are you doing in my daughter's office pala?" Antonio asked.

"I-I just sent her here sir. We just went out to grab a lunch with our friends po." Mikhael politely said.

"Oh what a gentleman. Anyways I would like to invite you to my birthday party next weekend and mind you, I don't take no for an answer Mikhael." Antonio said.

"Daddy baka busy si Mikhael nun nakakahiya naman." Aiah said.

"N-no, I mean... sure sir. I'll clear my sched for you day." Mikhael said smiling.

"Yun naman pala eh. Asahan kita doon ha hijo." Antonio said then patted Mikhs' arm.

[FAST FORWARD]

Back in Mikhael's office, his receptionist informed him that there is a woman waiting for him in the conference room.

"Hey there handsome..." the woman sitting at the meeting table flirtatiously said.

"Ms. Lee? What are you doing here?" takang tanong ni Mikhs dito.

"Kung hindi pa kita pupuntahan hindi mo pa ako kakausapin...?" Desiree said looking sticky at Mikhael's eyes.

"I am sorry I was busy with work. What brings you here anyways?" Mikhael said.

"I came here for a partnership with you. If you're single?" Desiree said.

"What? What do you mean?" Takang tanong ni Mikhael dito.

"I like you Lim and I will definitely do anything for you." Desiree said as she slowly approach Mikhael.

Mikhael just let the woman approach him knowing that there are CCTVs around. As Desiree slowly approached him, he suddenly noticed a device underneath the woman's pouch.
