Chasing Benjamin (4th Gen#10)

Chapter 40

"Sit down, young man, I still have to talk about you."

May muli itong tinipa sa laptop nito at bumungad sa screen ang text na Cali Inc.

"What's that?" Nagtatakang tanong niya.

"Cali Inc. It's a big company in California which is owned by Xian Cali. And this company is bigger than the Benjamin Inc."

He look at her father ridiculously.

"Dad, no one can surpass the Benjamin Inc. It has been the the biggest company in over a century. That's Lolo Jayce Vasco." Hindi mkapaniwalang bulaslas niya.

The Benjamin Inc was his great grandfather's company. Kahit namayapa na ito ay pinagpatuloy pa rin ng mga anak nito kahit ang mga apo sa pagpapalawak ng companyang iyon.

"Cali Inc. become bigger each years, they are destroying the small companies and they are stealing all of the possible investors."

"Wow. Like how? They're quite unbelievable."

"Hmm, but not impossible. Hindi lang iisang negosyo sila nagbabase. They are producing alcoholic beverages, oil, diesel, furnitures and etc. And they also handling airlines, they can train you to be a pilot, or an entrepreneur. Tho, they have weird rules like you have to stay there as a trainee for more than 3 years but you're single."

Pilot...

"Why are you telling me, Dad?"

"Because my father trust me on this one. And as a father to you, I trust you on this one." Seryosong saad ng ama.

His heart filled with nervousness, he knew that his father's request is not easy.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to pursue your dream as a pilot buy I also want you to trained there as an enterpreneur. You will be handling the main branch of my company. Go, train yourself in Cali Inc."

"Dad, no! California is far from here. And I can't stay there without Chloe. I can't be single!" Napatayo na siya sa galit na nararamdaman niya.

He just can't leave Chloe here. Even tho he's tempted to pursue his dreams pero kung ang kapalit naman ay ang pagkawalay nila ng dalaga. Huwag na lang.

"I'll give you time to think about this, Hendrix." Saad ng ama at iniwan siya sa conference.

Nahampas na lang niya ang mesa sa inis.

PINAKALMA niya ng sarili bago pumasok sa kompanya ng ama ni Chloe. Chloe said she's here to paid visit to her Dad, kaya pumunta na rin siya para kumustahin si Tito.

Magalang na binati naman siya ng mga empleyado doon at agad siyang tumungo sa opisina ng ama ng dalaga.

Akmang kakatok na siya ng marinig niyang nag-uusap ang ama at ina ni Chloe.

"This is getting worse." Lugong-lugo na saad ng ama ni Chloe

"Hindi na ba talaga mareresolba?" Narinig niyang tanong ng ina ng dalaga.

"I don't know. The Cali Inc are stealing our investor. Our company's income is getting low. And I've heard that Chloe wanted to build a company but Cali Inc are blocking every aspiring entrepreneur."
