Chapter 16 Jealousy Kills
I sat harshly after he hang up on me. I sighed while looking at my phone.
Maybe he's just playing trick! For sure, he just wants to scare the hell out of me.
He can't just come back here in Philippines all of the sudden. He has works for Pete's sake!
I shrugged and continue reviewing the letters of Lacxous G. This is better than problematizing Sting.
I am back on biting my pen while reading his letters. I am seriously thinking with some other clues.
Then suddenly my phone rang. I looked at it bored and my eyes widen when I saw the same number earlier. "Sting. "I said calmly when I accepted the call.
"Where the hell are you, Erza! I said pick me up at the airport!" He said so irritated on the other line.
"You serious?" I said. What if this is all just a trick?
"Damn. Where's your office! Tell me ASAP!" he said so frustrated.
Ah, maybe he's just imagining things again. I just sighed and never really mind of telling him my address.
"Grayfaurd Crest GOC Firm. "I said. Not even thinking properly. My thoughts were left on the letters of Lacxous G.
I thought he's still on the other line. But when I hear nothing already, I looked at my phone.
Wow! He hanged up on me again!
See? He gave up after I ride on his trips.
I put my attention back on Lacxous G. Hays this man is really stressing me.
Lacxous G.
That's his name or code name. I wonder what is the meaning of this G. Maybe if I find out about it it'll be easier for me track him down. Tsk.
"Damn you, Lacxous G! " I whispered and sighed.
I rested my back on my swivel chair and sighed. I accidentally glanced on Enzo that I caught looking at me.
Now I've realized the sudden change in the attitude of Enzo. He's the partner in crime of Gadjin but right now he's very cold. He's not the old Enzo anymore.
Since I have nothing else to do, I went to him that made him blush a lot. I can clearly see how red he is right now.
I don't know if he's just sick or what but he's really looking so red.
"Enzo, are you okay?" I asked.
He even got redder from that question. I don't know if I should be worried or laugh from his reaction or what.
Don't tell me that he's blushing because he's embarrassed over something?
"M-miss... it's still w-work hours." He said. He can't even look at me directly in the eye.
I raised my eyebrows in realization. Does this guy have a crush on me?
I shook my head. That's impossible, we've been working with each other for 5 years. It's impossible that he just grew some feelings on me. Maybe he's just really not feeling well. I went back on my table and decided to just revise those files Sir Astrair destroyed when he poured his coffee on me.
And speaking of him. Since that Emerald came here, he never really talked to me.
That's good for me.
"No. Not really." My mind whispered.
I rolled my eyes. I just don't want to think about it for now though.
Disgusting.

30 minutes have passed when my phone rang again.
When I saw the familiar number of the receptionist, I answered it.
"Erza Quevas speaking. Yes?" I said.
The line didn't immediately answer. I waited for few seconds.
"Pick me up, Erza."
I feel like my heart wanted to burst from beating too fast.
I know it's Sting, but it reminds me of HIM!
Damn it, Erza! It's Sting! Your best friend that you treat as your brother! How dare you say that he's similar to that creepy stalker of yours!
B-but! That voice, I heard it when he spoke to that elevator.
I gripped my phone and took a deep breath.
"Hey, don't be shocked. " he whispered, that give me goosebumps.
Fuck you Kreexien!
"STING! "I shouted making all the employees near me look at my direction.
I smiled fake because of the shame I just had.
If Sting is Lacxous G. Then I'm wrong that he's just an employee here.
And... And... Sting was from New York City, and those papers are originated in New York according to its culprits N. Y. C.
Is it Sting?
But how?
How did he get into the elevator? How? How?
And why would he fucking use some expensive papers just so he could prank me? When we knew each other so much? Damn, this is getting so twisty.
When I went down, I saw Sting standing on the lobby while posing like he owns the whole place.
Wow, he really feels like a teenager.
"You idiot!" I immediately said the moment I am closer to him.
"Tss." He only said and removed the sunglasses he's wearing.
"Who's Lacxous G?" he asked.
That made me more confused.
If Sting came here to ask about Lacxous G. Isn't it weird if he's asking about himself?
But. Maybe this is his defense mechanism so that I won't suspect him.
But Erza! This is not right. Accusing someone innocent is never right.
"You're just overreacting! It's very obvious that you just came from the runway and you're here." I said while looking at him from head to toe. He's looking really hot from this outfit. "Erza, you know that I'm not busy when it comes to you."
He said. He really looked so hot and cool that made every employee on the first-floor drool.
"Pak! That's fucking Kreexien Lumiarte from New York Magazine!" One of the employees said that made me pull Sting faster on the Elevator.
It's a great timing when the elevator opened, revealing the bosses of GFC.
"Sir." I said and bowed.
They didn't move, that's when I realized that we are on the way.
I immediately grabbed Sting's hands and pulled him away from the door.
I saw how they looked at my hands-on Sting. Making me feel awkward.
"I guess, someone's flirting during work hours." Breezy said.
I really want to pull the hair of this bitch.
"Flirting your face. Sorry I'm not you. " I said that is enough to be heard by her.
She was about to answer but the bosses walked out already.
But before Sir Astrair moved. He whispered something to me.
"At my office. Before 2pm. Or else." He said with a warning.
I think I am the only one who get it. I fisted my palms.
When we arrived on our floor. There are lots of eyes on us.
I heard something coming from the table of Enzo. When I looked at it, he already walked out.
Well, I don't want to assume, but I guess my hints are right.
I pulled Sting and make him sit on the rocking chair beside my table.
We can't help those eyes on us especially that I am with a superstar.
Okay fine, he's the famous already. Tss.
Since he came here uninvited. He has no rights to say that the office is boring. This is what he gets.
I didn't even know that it's already 2 pm. He clearly told me that I should be there before 2 pm. Well I don't care.
I had nothing to do but to check his office.
I left Sting with Lucy; the girl looked so happy.
I was on the door when I heard something weird from the inside of his office.
"Liked it?"
"Uh! Yes... Yes! Press harder. " Sir Astrair sounded so sensual.
I have no idea from what they are doing. But if I am correct then fuck him.
I opened his door harshly.
And I saw something that made me blush in embarrassment.
.
.... okay, I was so dirty minded earlier.
His secretary was just massaging him.
When I went inside, his attention was immediately on me.
Okay, I admit that his stares were intimidating.
"Leave us alone, Mie. " Sir Astrair said to his secretary.
"Take care." Mei whispered to me before leaving me alone with our boss.
I am nervous because I really don't like my history inside this office. Every that happened here is not really good. Maybe it was carved in my head already. "Why?" I said.
Sir Astrair looked at me before talking.
"Who is he?" He said and fixed himself.
"He who?" I asked, though I know the person he is asking about.
"Are you dumb! Who's that magazine boy?" I can see anger in his face right now.
"Sorry, I'm not dumb. And that guy is Sting." I said.
"String? Why is he here?!" He said rising his voice on me.
"Correction boss, STING not STRING. " I said bored.
He sighed and scratched his nape.
"Why. Is. He. Here." he said calmly but I can feel that he's holding himself.
"I don't know. "I said bluntly.
"Damn it, Erza! You're cheating again! " he said that made me look at him weirdly.
Here we go again.
"Cheating? Excuse me? " I said.
"Yes! I already marked you as mine! Let me remind you that!" he said so red in frustration.
"Tss! This talk is stupid! " I said and was about to open the door.
But like the last time. It was locked.
"Jealousy kills, Erza. I'm telling you. " he said.
I stopped from what he said.
Jealousy kills
Sounds familiar.
Lacxous G!
Ugh damn.
I am really so confused now.
I am really annoyer with this Lacxous G now. Why is he even on my mind?
If I will really see you, I will kick you.
Mark my words!
***
I am not in the mood when I went back on my cubicle. I saw Sting happily talking with Lucy.
I can also see how bad Enzo's glares with Sting. What is really his problem.
I shook my head while observing Enzo.
Why did he suddenly acted like that.
"Erza, let's eat dinner outside. " Sting said when I get closer to him.
It's only 4 pm how excited.
"Okay. "I said.
*Blaaggg!! *
When we heard something on the door, we saw Sir Astrair looking so angry.
Okay, his aura is really dark. I've seen him being angry before and it's not really good.
"Damn you!" I heard him whisper and glared at me again.
Tsk. Here we go again.
