After the tiring business trip, we finally arrived at the philippines. Sinundo ako ni Melvin sa airport. I noticed that he is driving to franxx restaurant.
"I'm tired mel. Let's go home." Saad ko.
"Lolo needs to talk to you. He said it's urgent." He said.
Franxx restaurant.......
"Good evening." Pormal na bati ko.
Tumango lang ang matanda. Naupo na kami ni mel. He ordered food already and it arrived few minutes after we came. Matapos kumain ay nagpaalam si mel na lalabas upang sagutin ang tumawag.
"How is my apo?" Tanong ng matanda.
"Doing fine, of course without you." Sagot ko.
"Haha, you're like your mother. Sharp tounge with pea-sized brain." Insulto nya.
"This girl your insulting was once your favorite. Oh you failed, that's why you're pushing through my brother." Saad ko.
"Melvin? Well he likes my company, I don't have to force him actually." Saad nito.
Tahimik lang ako at hindi na sumagot. Ilang minuto ay wala pa rin si melvin. Nagsalita muli ang kaharap ko. Hindi ko nagustuhan ang sinabi nya.
"Morpheus Chase Sideris, ring a bell?" Sabi nya. "I guess you know that young man. A successful business tycoon, continuing the legacy of sideris hotels and resorts." Dagdag nya.
Nanatili akong tahimik. I calmed myself to avoid creating a scene. He look entertained on my reaction.
"What will happen to that young man if his families legacy went down in him?" Delikadong saad nya .
Right there, I knew that he is planning something. Something that I wouldn't like. Akmang magsasalita ako ng dumating si Melvin. Nagyaya ako pauwi at nagpahinga na.
Few days has passed, I monitor my grandfather's movement. I am afraid of what he can do to chase. Speaking of chase, we don't have much time to talk to each other this past few days. I'm busy in the company while chase is busy going to one resort to another for expansions.
Nagrereview ako ng nga designs for the new trend na ilalabas ng cleo apparel. Nag ring ang phone ko. It was Oleander. I picked it up. Nakikipag meet sya sa akin. Lumabas ako ng opisina dala ang bag at coat ko.
"Ellie, face the clients and call me if there are problems. Got it?" Bilin ko sa sekretarya.
"Yes, Miss A." Magalang na sagot nito.
Pagkarating sa parking lot ay binuhay ko na ang makina ng sasakyan at nagdrive patungo sa cafe na napag usapan namin. Pagpasok ko sa cafe ay nakita ko kaagad sya.
Helios Oleander Foirello. Owner of F security company. Wearing a black plain shirt na pinatungan ng leather jacket partnered with blue faded jeans and gray rubber shoes.
Nakita nya na rin ako. May lumapit na waitress sa amin ng makaupo ako. Umorder ako ng starwberry frappe at sya naman ay americano and red velvet cakes.
Nang mailagay sa lamesa ang order namin ay doon natuon ang pansin namin. Matapos kumain ng cake si Oli ay iniabot nya ang folder sa akin. Binuksan ko ito. Dagling nag init ang ulo ko dahil sa nabasa.
"Your lolo is slowly taking away the trust of the stockholders, A. What are you going to do?" Tanong nya.
"Do a counter to that obviously. Thank you for your help, Oli." Seryosong saad ko.
