A Night with Gideon

Chapter 10

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 jeep’s 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 don’t 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 engineers’ plan. The plan they suggested was in front of

him. But why his f-cking mind was flying to Vesarius Airlines. He didn’t 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 didn’t stop the secretary,

Cleo, to ask if the interns from the university had arrived even though they had school at nine o’clock.

He was disturbing his secretary at seven in the morning to ask that question repeatedly.

He even made sure that Lyzza Pacammara’s 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 wasn’t 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. He’s 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 wasn’t her boss, she would probably tell him that he Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

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. It’s okay. He

doesn’t 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 enemy’s neck so that he can no longer form with him.

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

– Then and Now.

He knows he’s attracted to Lyzza but why does he feel like he’s being poked in the ass when he

doesn’t know what she’s doing? Why does he always squirm when he pokes him? He’s only been here

for a few years, ah. ‘Yeah! You are just ten years older than her, Moron,’ said a part of his brain

sarcastically. But he was stubborn because he didn’t listen to the voice in his brain. What if he’s thirty-

three and she’s only twenty-three and young? It doesn’t mean that he won’t like him anymore because

he is old and he likes a child too.

But isn’t it true that if the woman looks up, it’s as if her eyes are not here. It’s like she has a contagious

disease if she avoids him. Avoid avoiding the woman. He’s 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 “Woman! It’s your fault, Alejandro.”

With that, he maneuvers the wheel and takes a hard U turn. Good thing he wasn’t along the highway

where there were a lot of cars. It wasn’t 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

“I’ll see you tomorrow, Baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
