Fourth of July

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

HIS POV

"Sir Gabriel, pinapatawag na po kayo sa conference room ng Board of Directors."

I simply nodded my head and motioned my hand as a cue to she may now leave my office. I massaged the bridge of my nose and loosen the effin' necktie I was wearing.

I fixed myself and bought my laptop with me as I leave my office. All eyes were on me as soon as I entered the room. All BOD are here as well as those big clients we have from different group of companies.

"The CEO of Coronado Enterprise and CGC. Mr. Gabriel Keilev Coronado.. pleasure to formally meet you, Mister." A woman in her early 30's approached me. She was wearing red dress with her blazer hang on top of her shoulders.

She extend her hand and I took her hand to do shake hands. I smiled at her and turned my gaze on the respected people here in the room.

They introduced themselves to me and told me what companies they came from.

"So, as you can see.. the CGC and CE are both on the top list of companies with the highest rankings. There are even big companies outside the country that are willing to deal with us and negotiate. Let's take a closer look at this presentation.." Then I began presenting the portfolio I made.

They were all nodding their heads and some of them are even whispering and praising me for hard work I do.

I just replied with a smile as I continue my presentation. Gladly, they were all agreed to my agenda and those datas I presented.

"Thank you, I'll let my secretary send you an e-mail. Meeting is adjourned.." I said and they all rise up and began shaking my hands and congratulate me because of my absolute presentation.

Nang maiwan ako sa confe ay hinubad ko ang coat ko at binuksan ang tatlong butones ng long sleeves ko. I even tugged up the sleeves 'til it reached my elbow.

I dialed someone's number.

Wala pang ilang minuto ay sumagot na rin siya.

"'Sup?"

"I want you to do something for me."

"What?"

"I said I want you to do something for me."

"I can't hear you."

I gritted my teeth. "I'll pay you millions. Just do whatever I'll tell you to do."

"Now it's clear and settled. Alright, fucker."

I shook my head in disbelief before ending the call. Knowing Jairus Crysler Óhales, hindi siya papayag nang utusan siya nang walang milyon na bayad. Walang kai-kaibigan sa kaniya. Hindi ko nga minsan malaman kung sino ba totoong kakambal niya, e.

Si Jallen Crisvin Óhales ba o pera.

Inayos ko na 'yung gamit ko at nilisan 'yung kompanya. Kung noong mga nakaraang araw ay halos hindi ako umuwi para lang mag-trabaho hanggang gabi, pwes ngayon I've got enough reasons to stay in my mansion.

That girl..

That maid/Darna..

I could sense that she's up to something, she wouldn't be staying in my mansion if it weren't for something.

And I have to do everything just to get rid of her.

"Poor, Chelsea. You've messed with the wrong guy.."

HER POV

Kasabay nang pag-buhos ng mga luha ko ay nag-unahan rin sa pag-patak ang mga malalaking butil ng ulan.
