Is it Worth Fighting for? (Pride Series #1)

Chapter 23

ATHENA'S POV

I arrived on time at the meeting place. I bet Cendrick is on his way.

"Why are you here?" I asked Jayce. She's following me. Hindi ko siya pinasabay sa sasakyan ko, kusa niyang dinala ang motorbike niya.

"You know my job" she answered and sit right beside me.

"Who told you to come closer?" I raised my eyebrows so she will be scared. Agad naman itong dumistansya sa akin.

After a couple of minutes we've been waiting. Finally Cendrick arrived.

"Hey Athena... Ohh" napatakip siya sa kanyang bibig at ngumiting nakakaasar. "So it's true" he said while holding her laugh.

Pvta, sa'n ba 'to nakakakuha ng mga inpormasyon? Ang bilis naman ata nila.

"I want a final touch for my law firm Architect Alfonso" I said in a serious tone. He handed me the blueprint.

"As you can see it was well-formed. Mamahalin ang mga materials na gagamitin ko d'yan para hindi madaling masira" I examined the whole blueprint. It is really indeed beautiful.

"So kailan start nito?" I want it to be built as soon as possible. Parami ng parami na kasi ang mga lawyers dito and I decided to build my own law firm.

"We can start it by next week" he said. Pabalik balik ang paningin ni Cendrick sa akin at kay Jayce.

Nilingon ko ito para malaman ko'ng ano na naman ang pinaggagawa nito. I saw her looking deeply at the blueprint. Wait? Pa'no na punta sa kanya 'yon?

"I'll just send you my payment for this. Thanks a lot" I said at nakipag shake hands.

"No problem. Pakisabi na lang kay Z na nangangamusta ako sa kanya" They love my daughter too much. Spoil na spoil na nga 'yon sa mga tita niya pati ba naman sa ninong.

"Sure" I said and bid my goodbye.

This is a good start for my law firm. Wala namang problema sa business ko, they handle it very well. Palago ng palago ang mga subdivisions na ipinatayo ko.

Hindi ko naman tinanggap ang ipanama sa akin ni Papa. I know Ashethea deserves that more than me. So I decided to have my own business.

JAYCE'S POV

Nandito ako ngayon sa labas ng trial court. Hinihintay na matapos ang laban ni Athena. She didn't allow me to see her inside the court facing those rivals.

Hindi naman nakakailang rito, kasama ko naman si Maurice.

"Athena might fired you" bigla akong napalingon sa kanya.

"She can't do that. Hindi nga siya ang nagpapasweldo sa akin" kibit balikat ko'ng tugon.

"With all her powers, she can do that. Ito na lang, I'll interview you para makapaghanda ka" pumayag naman ako sa gusto niyang mangyari.

"What strand did Athena take when she's in Senior High years?" basic naman ng tanong nito.

"Of course. ABM" I said with full of confident.
