Three days ago, Avi and Primo dragged me to West's penthouse because I was invited by Thorin. I made tons of excuses but none of it worked, it failed just like that. I didn't want to go because I still have a lot of work to do, of course they wouldn't really understand how I'm feeling because it's only Riane and myself are the only ones who own a company at a young age.

Primo and Avi along with the others can still fool around and travel everywhere whenever they want to because they're not handling a company like myself, kahit may posisyon sila sa mga kumpanya ng mga magulang nila ay hindi pa rin naman literal na sila ang gumagawa ng lahat-lahat.

In my case, I'm the CEO of Classico Hotel. At bilang CEO, I shouldn't really rely on everyone. I mean, hindi ko dapat iasa ang lahat ng gawain ko sa Sekretarya ko. It's not like she's familiar with what I'm actually doing, I'm not belittling Ms. Roque because she's definitely a smart person. Mabilis naman siyang matuto lalo na kapag ituturo mo ng maayos sa kaniya.

And even without explanation, she can do it perfectly. But of course, I still have to show her the procedures. Sinabi ko na matalino siya kase totoo 'yon pero hindi ko sinabi na robot siya na kayang gawin ang mga bagay-bagay kahit walang paliwanag kung paano iyon nagawa o nakuha.

Solving other problems are like solving math problems itself, can you get the answer if your teacher or professor didn't even bother to explain how to do it? Certainly, the answer is big no!!

Nang dumating araw na itinalaga na ako para maging opisyal na CEO ako ng Classico Hotel, nararamdaman ko na ang mismomg nararamdaman ni Riane sa tuwing may okasyon pero hindi siya maka-sama dahil marami talaga siyang ginagawa at hindi niya maaaring iwan ang mga iyon dahil siguradong magiging doble iyon kapag iniwan niya.

Yeah, I really meant what I was thinking. Totoo talaga na kahit sandali ka lang malingat ay biglang dadami ang gawain mo and before you know it, maiiyak ka na lang dahil sa sobrang pagod at inis dahil hindi mo alam ang gagawin para naman mabawasan ang mga ito kahit kaunti lang.

Mabuti na nga lang ay overnight lang kami sa penthouse ni West pero pag-gising ko naman noong mga panahon na iyon ay nabalitaan ko na umalis pala si Thor at Eros dahil nag-karoon sila ng biglaang Business Meeting sa London. Literal na biglaan iyon kaya biglaan din ang pag-alis nilang dalawa.

Thorin and Eros did said goodbye to everyone, except for me because I was asleep. Avianna told me that Eros was the one who said that they shouldn't disturb me, that's the reason why they didn't woke me up. I'm kind of upset because he should at least see me off just like the rest but he didn't. Instead of letting me see him off, he left a love letter for me.

Yeah, a love letter...

Nabasa ko na ito ng ilang beses bago pa kami bumalik sa San Nicolas dahil tapos na ang selebrasyon, paulit-ulit ko itong binabasa hanggang ngayon dahil nawawala ang inis ko kapag nakikita ko ang mga salitang sinulat niya. It turned out that he wrote this letter while I was asleep, he told me that he didn't want to disturb me because he knew that I was exhausted.

Ang pinaka-nakakatuwang mga salita na nabasa ko sa sinulat niyang love letter ay sinabi niya na iiwan niya muna si Cerbe sa pangangalaga ko. He wrote in the letter that he'd left Cerbe with me while he wasn't around at the moment, ako na raw muna ang bahalang mag-asikaso sa alaga niyang pusa dahil wala naman daw tao sa mansyon nila.
