His Sweet Lectures

Chapter 22: I'll Save You

LUKE'S POV

I WAKE up early as usual.

I grabbed my coffee at my kitchen and sit in front of the pool while looking at the sunrise.

This is why I love sitting here every morning.

But nothing's best than seeing Carina when I wake up.

I think she's still angry at me. She's still not answering my calls or reading my text messages. I went to the university yesterday to see her but no signs of Carina. I think she won't be attending the sports fest, she mentioned that she's not enjoying it.

I sighed and opened my tablet. Looking for the latest news.

Unang una kong nakita is about the Perez Bankruptcy. Really? This is the headline since yesterday which I didn't pay attention.

I remember, this is the one Lyndon and Peter is talking about last Sunday.

I don't know but biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang surname ni Carina.

She's a Perez, isn't she?

I automatically opened and read the article. Maybe this is somehow related to her.

I browse for more information about the bankruptcy, so the CEO is Edward Perez and wife, Alice Perez. Oh yes I know them, they are also a good friend of mom and dad, but I don't have any remembered transaction with them.

I immediately call Greg.

"Good Morning Sir Luke."

"Yes, good morning. I believe you've already heard about the Perez Enterprise bankruptcy." I said.

"Yes Sir, it's all over the news."

"What did you know about it?" I asked.

"Most of their investors and clients moved to their competitor as they sell the goods in a cheaper price, while all the shareholders refund their shares making the company sink in just a span of a month. That's all I know so far Sir." Sabi ni Greg. In a span of a month? That's f@cking awful.

"Okay, thank you. Look for more details about it. Also, about their personal information. The most important thing you need to know is their children's profile. Got it?"

"Got it, Sir."

"Greg, this is urgent. If you can submit it to me before lunch. It would be great."

"Noted Sir."

"Good." I said and ended the call. I don't know why but I have a feeling that this might be connected to Carina or to their family.

I'M NOW here on my office while checking the pile of works. I closed my eyes for a while. This is tiring.

I looked at my phone, Carina is still not responding on my messages.

I tried to call her but its off. Is her phone off since yesterday? Does she hate me that much?

F@ck you Luke, of course she does. Who would be even happy with those killing words you said?

I closed my eyes again; this is my way of refreshing up my mind. I'll just drop off to University again later. Hope I'll see her there.

I heard a knock on my door. I locked it today because I don't have time for Peter.
