That Mysterious Guy

Chapter 8 - Warning

He opens his eyes and tried to recall what's happens last night. He sits up from his bed, his head hammering with pain. Looks like, he drink too much last night.

Strange, aside for his headache, he could felt his lip is in pained as well. He touches his lip and he did not hold not to groan.

And where did he got this cut? He asked himself. He looks around to find a mirror. He gets off from his bed and gets out of his bedroom.

Jason went straight to his bathroom and stopped in front of the washstand where a mirror hanged. He was surprised to see his partly swollen lip.

Did he have a fight with someone last night? He tried to remembers what happened last night. Everything is vague. Ah, better to take a shower. He could smell himself that still reek from alcohol.

Jason took a long hot shower. When he's done and get out from the bathroom, he was surprised to see Marga now sitting casually in the couch, busy with her mobile phone... as usual, taking a photo of herself.

His headache feels worsen seeing the woman. His mistakes that he gives her a duplicate key card to his condo-house.

He opens his walk-in closet and gets dress. He doesn't felt to go to work today. Maybe he'll give a call to notify his secretary.

He's now got dress into a pair of jeans and a blue shirt. This T-shirt has a memorable value to him because it was Deana who bought it for him when they were at Korea. He was accompanying Deana into her photo shoot and Vlog filming.

Remembering the past leave a pinch on his heart. He felt hunger surging onto his stomach. He heaved a deep sighed. He glances at the woman in the couch when he gets out from the closet. He can't believe it. He shook his head full of disappointment.

He walks towards his kitchen and picks up bottled water from the fridge then search his kitchen drawer for medicine. Good thing his mother make sure that his condo-house has it all he needed. Before, it was Deana who make groceries shopping for him. She even regularly making him a meal, either a breakfast or a dinner.

What the hell? Why does he keep remembering the past? Does Deana still remember? Or she completely moving on and forget everything?

Honestly, he does miss her... now he felt so much hunger, he could remember her cooking.

Jason eats the gel for a headache then emptied the bottled water. He had no energy to cook. So maybe, he'll call the restaurant to deliver him some good soup for hangovers.

He went into the living room and pick up the menu book where printed each of the menus from the five restaurants of this building.

"My God! What happens to you!?" Marga suddenly burst out. This woman was here for he doesn't sure how long, but she just notice of his swollen lip.

"Maybe, I hit my toilet door," he answered timidly.

"How come?" she seems not to convince.

He tries to remembers all. Slowly, the pain on his head subside. He started recalling of what he did last night.

After the meeting, some of the board invites for a drink. They went to a pub and he drowns himself into alcohol once more. He gets himself drunk mostly just at his own house. But last night, he let himself lost control again.

He can't remember who sent him home. Maybe one of his business partner. Is that all he did?

He was on a deep thought when someone pressing his doorbell. He gets up from the couch and went to his entry door. The person he found in front of his door is none other than, Vincent Tan, the Head of Security in this building.

"Mr. Estrada, can we come in?" The personnel asked politely and calmly.

"Sure. Come in..." He opens the door wide and let the three men entered his condo-house.

He offers them to sit. Marga, on the other hand, was shocked by what's happening. She asked herself why the head of the security is visiting Jason.

"Why are you here, Mr. Tan?" Marga asked rudely.

Although was a bit surprised, the Head Security keep his calm and replied. "I am here to talk personally Mr. Estrada if you don't mind Miss Marga. We're assuming Mr. Estrada hasn't sober up yet, and so, we come for a visit."

"And why is that?" Marga asked again arrogantly.

"Marga, please. Let me talk to Mr. Tan first." his irritation gone extreme. He just wanted to eat something now.

Mr. Tan detailed what happen last night. At first, shocked registered on Marga's face. Later on, anger is written all over her too much foundation face.

The three visitors now left... Just right after the door close, a slapped landed on his face when he turns around.

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!!!" Marga starts hitting him. "I already knew you will going to see her! I can't believe it! How dare you! I told you that never get near to that woman nor speak with her!" Marga has been screaming and yelling at him.

"That b*tch! Argh!!"

"Stop it, Marga! So what if I did!?" He catches her hand and throws her aside.

"Jason! You--" Marga was left dazed. She can't believe how Jason just give her a cold shoulder.

Jason sits at one of the couch and covered his face. He wanted to scream right now. His body is shaking of frustration.

"Jason!" He heard another scream from Marga.

"Shut up Marga! I am hungry! Just leave me alone! Get out!" Jason pointed the door gesturing for Marga to leave.

The woman is hesitant at first, then choose to calm down.

"I'll go ordered a food." she said after a long moment then get out from his condo-house.

He wishes for this woman to be gone and never to see her again.
