Chapter 4

He violently took his blazer from it and put it on properly. He got in the car. They waited for a while before the traffic started to move. The news is already happening and he is sure that his brother will not sew him when they come to the office. As soon as they arrived at their destination, Velvet immediately entered the conference room and Beauty was left in her office to arrange the documents that her boss ordered. Even before her ass was warming in the seat, a woman came and looked for Velvet.

"Where is Kuya Velvet?"

She breathed a sigh of relief as she looked up and saw his half-sister Tamara. She smiled at it. Because, if by chance one of its women eh, she will definitely be able to betray her boss. She did not remember the names of its women. That's why she calls them Ma'm for safety. It is only natural that her loyalty is with her boss.

"He's in the conference room. They have a meeting there, Ma'm." he spoke politely.

The woman smiled at her. The two look alike.

"I'll wait for Kuya then." she smiled back.

"Would you like coffee? Juice? Or even a sandwich?"

"No, thanks. I'm fine here. Can i disturb you for a moment?"

She stopped what she was doing and looked at the woman.

"Okay. Why Ma'm?"

"Stop calling me Ma'm, ate Pangs."

She handed her a white paper-bag with a Prada brand on it.

"Belated Happy Birthday, ate Pangs! Sorry if I didn't go to your birthday party organized by Kuya Velvet. You know my situation, it's complicated." She whispered the last word.

She accepted its gift. He peeked at the content. A black high-heeled shoes.

"Thank you, Tamara. You shouldn't have bothered anymore."

"Don’t say that. I thank you for what you have done for me and for taking care of my older brother. Even he’s crazy, I love him. I'm really grateful that I have him and he exists."

"I take care of your older brother because he gives a big salary." she joked.

Tamara laughed at what she said and sat down in front of her.

"Has Kuya not dated a serious woman yet?" she asked curiously.

"No, because he hasn't brought a woman at home yet, he said, the woman he will bring to his house is the one he will marry. And he has not been taken home yet." She explained.

The girl nodded at what she said.

"I won't bother you anymore. I'll just be here and wait..." Tamara just said.

it stood up and moved. She sat down on the long sofa and picked up the magazine lying on the table. It leaned forward with its feet slightly raised. She was wearing a simple white t-shirt and denim pants. Beauty stopped typing keys on her laptop when she saw Tamara carrying a backpack that was quite large and a traveling bag?! Will it travel? But why she go here and look for the brother? She rested deeply... She could smell trouble. She already knew Tamara's actions. She just kept doing what she was doing. It was also a few hours before the waiting when Velvet arrived followed by Nigel. Velvet immediately went to Beauty who was busy with what she was doing.

"Pangs! Didn't woman pass by here looking for me?"

Beauty smiled.

"There's a beautiful woman looking for you, Sir. There oh!"

The girl pointed to the woman sitting on the long sofa in front of the magazine. It lowered its handle and then stood up. It immediately walked closer to Velvet.

"Kuya! I miss you!"

Tamara was about to hug her older brother but he pushed her away.

"Wait, wait, why are you here?!" Velvet asked his sister.

"I just missed you Kuya. Besides, I came here to give my gift to Ate Pangs. I didn't go to her birthday party yesterday, did I?"

Nigel laughed at what he heard.

"Unlucky for you Tams! You got caught up in the happenings. Did you know that there is a new loveteam?" its silly language.

This is what Tamara turned her attention to.

"Really?"

"Yes, Pagpag and Pangs! Wa ha ha ha!"

When Nigel said the word Pagpag, he pointed to Velvet and it was obvious who Pangs was. She laughed at that nonsense. And she gets why her older brother is called Pagpag. He is a womanizer. That’s all, he was the most handsome Pagpag and that’s why many women was obsessed with him.

"Really?" she laughed in retaliation.

Nigel was about to speak but Velvet immediately acted. The latter really wants to question his sister.

"Tams, why are you really here?" he asked.

"Nothing, I just missed you Brother."

"Missed? Why do it look like, your in trouble?!"

He carried the backpack on the floor with the size and pointed the large traveling bag. The smile disappeared from Tamara's lips and her face was serious.

"I run away, Kuya. Mama and I had a fight. She does not want to support my dream of becoming a theatre actress. I even got the role as Kristine in the Phantom of the Opera play... Can I stay at your house first? I will not be a burden, to you Brother. I already have a job."

Velvet scratched his head so hard. It must have hurt suddenly.

"I don't want trouble. Your good Mom will definitely go mad at me." Velvet's bitter language.

"Brother, that's your mother too!"

Velvet's face was serious and he frowned.

"She said, that I am not her son!"

Beauty stopped typing the keys. She looked behind her boss. She could feel its sentiment. One of the reasons why he likes to make women cry because of its biological mother... It is said that it takes revenge when it makes heartless women cry. Tamara was stunned by what she heard from her brother. She hugged it.

"But you are my brother and I love you! Brother! You are the only one I hope will help me!"

Velvet took a deep breath and returned the hug to his brother.

"Tams, you can't be at home. I don't want that woman to come to me."

"Then, how about your bachelor’s pad?"

"Tsk! That's where I take my girls. You know that!"

Her sister loosened her grip on him and stared into his eyes.

"Then stop being a womanizer! You should change. And if you don't want me to stay at your bachelor's pad... Then, I’ll stay at your house!"

Velvet looked at Nigel. The latter shrugged.

"I'm out there. You have the same Mom. I'm the brother on the father side..."

Velvet thought for a moment. He just can't let go of where and to whom his half-sister is. This is his sister and he can't just let her go to somewhere especially it is a woman... He breathed violently and many times.

"Fine. You were there on my bachelor's pad. But never tell your mother that I was the owner when she tracked you down. I do not want trouble. And do not say that I was the one who helped you."

Tamara smiled sweetly at him.

"Don’t worry, I’m on your side!"

They let go of the hug and then smiled. Velvet messed up her younger sister's hair. He will send it to Kuya Dan on his bachelor's pad. If only there was no trouble, he would let her stay in his house, it would be accommodated but not... The situation is different. His biological mother hates him because he is the one who almost ruined her life... He was the result of a one night stand. His mother was a famous actress when she was young and his father was the bodyguard. The two had an overnight affair and he was the one who formed... Then, his own Mother tried to kill him because he was not accepted. Fortunately, he was lucky because Project Phantom was fully developed at Advance Tech at that time. He owes that technology to his life even if it is said that he was just raised with others to be used as a soldier in the big war. He always says that it is okay for his biological mother not to accept him but he will admit that he is affected. Tamara noticed that her older brother was quiet and thinking deeply. It looks sad again.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Velvet lost his thought when he heard his sister's voice. He simply held his chin. He took a deep breath.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just tired." He retorted.

He was planning to meet one of his woman tonight but he lost his interest. His heart hurts again and he is no longer in the mood. So he decided to just have a drink in his room at night. There is only one reason why he is given a drink, his biological mother. When the war ended, he really wasted his time looking for his real parents. There was no problem when he found his father. He was very happy with him and he was very welcome even by his family. He always asked his mother here but he did not want to talk. And he found out the answer when he finally met his Mother. She made him look like that he was just a mistake so he should have been absent because she had already killed him before. And hopefully, he just didn't look for it... He felt even more sad when he remembered everything. He laid the glass on the table with a little whiskey. He sat on the floor with the blue carpet. He felt lonely, he did not want that.

"Pangs!" his loud call.

He called his assistant several times but it did not come immediately. Beauty was in a hurry to run to her boss's room when she heard his call. She had just finished getting dressed so that she could go to sleep. She was wearing a sky-blue t-shirt and white jogging pants that were quite thin. The door opened so she went straight in. She saw her boss sitting on the floor leaning on the side of the bed. It bowed its head. She felt sympathy.

"Sir, I'm already here." she said.

Velvet rubbed his forehead.

"Pangs, why did you take so long? I called you earlier?"

"I'm sorry Sir. I was getting dressed earlier..."

"Is that so? Come here and sit next to me. Join me here to emote, will you?"

She did not speak. She just approached it and sat down next to it. She looked at his sad face. If only others could see Velvet like this. They can’t imagine that this one shake is emotional.

"Why is that Pangs? Even though I keep telling myself that everything is okay and it doesn't matter... It still hurts? I lived without her, right? I don't need her. But why do I feel this way?"

"Don't even think about it, Sir. There are more people who love you, right? You have a lot of women out there?" she joked.

Velvet laughed softly.

"They don't really love me. They just take me as a display. That’s why I don't take them seriously."

He looked at his companion. Pangs' short hair is messy and it doesn't have a ponytail. His attention was focused on her lips which were slightly open as she looked at him. He was tempted to kiss that. He shook to lose what he is thinking. It looks like he's been drinking a lot so what's going on in his brain. He's a womanizer, Yes. But he does not take advantage because he prefers to be exploited. He looked at his companion's face again and thought of asking...
