Matuling lumipas ang mga araw. Everyone has seen the fast progress of the company, simula nang naupo ako bilang COO. May mga pagkakataong ako ang dumadalo sa iba't-ibang conference sa loob ng bansa as the company's representative kapag hindi kaya ng schedule ni Altair.
Everything is falling in its right place as smoothly as I have planned.
"Thank you for trusting me on this, Mr. Nemesis." Saad kong muli bago nagpaalam sa matandang negosyante. He's a software developer. Doon nanggaling ang yaman nito. Technically, he's a billionaire. Katatapos lang ng opisyal na pagpirma nito ng kontrata.
"No. I should thank you, hija. I've found my Adrianna because of you." Pahayag niya sa masayang tinig. I can see how happy he was that he has reunited again with his long-lost daughter na inakala nang lahat na matagal nang patay. Ngumiti ako nang tipid. I remember the girl. now. She's supposed to be Altair's bride bago kami dumating ni Jj sa buhay ng mga Narvaez. Ngunit bigla itong dinukot at hindi na natagpuan pa. Until she was declared found but dead.
"I'm glad that fate has allowed her to come back to her family." Mahina kong saad, with that hint of longingness in my voice.
Gusto ko ring mapa-sana all, but I don't like to sound like Dionne. I just hope everyone will find their way back to their home, to their loved ones. Just like how I wished Maicah to come back to us. I missed her so much. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas. Wala pa ring progress sa sitwasyon niya.
Parang yong lovelife na Dionne. Napailing ako sa takbo ng isip.
Paano ko ba siya natagpuan? It's a long story. And it wasn't really all because of me. Maybe it was a coincidence. It was fate that I met her and found out that she's the missing heiress of the Nemesis clan.
I have already built a strong connection and trust from the leading business families in the country. Lahat sila sa board, nagbago ang pakikitungo sa akin lalo na nang maisara ko ang business deal with the Nemesis' and Daimona's na matagal nang nililigawan ng board para sa business partnership.
Senator Daimona seems like a strict man but when it comes to her unica hija, Cleofe, he will give everything. Kaya madali na lang ang naging usapan namin since Cleofe was with me. The board of directors is now wondering what's my secret in closing every deal na hawak ko.
The rule is simple. Sacrifice a little to gain all. I don't need to be guilty. All I know is that I did what is needed to be done. I don't care about the process. It will be done, sooner or later. Bakit ko pa patatagalin kung kaya sa mas mabilis na paraan?
"Ah... that must be the secret why Jairus fell and ended up tied with you." Biro pa ng isang direktor sa conference room matapos ang final presentation ko about sa mga proyektong sisimulan sa susunod na linggo.
Nagkibit-balikat ako. "Why don't we ask him for confirmation?" Saad kong baling kay Altair na tahimik na nakaupo sa pinakamalayo at pinakasentrong swivel chair sa pa-semi circle na lamesa kaharap ng malaking screen. Nasa harapan ako ngayon at nakikita ko ang ekspresyon ng lahat. I wanted to put the spot light on him. I want him on the hot seat.
