FORBIDDEN LIFE CHOICES : SANDRO MARCOS

Forbidden Life Choices : #2

"I wanted you to meet, My Private Attorney who's handling the petition against me, Atty. Stelle Canonizado" Banggit ni BBM, sa kanyang mga tauhan, kasama si Ms. Liza, at ang kanyang dalawang anak.

"Good Evening everyone." Stelle said through the microphone that echoed through the headquarters.

"Don't worry, she's doing her job well. As you can see the results are shown in the news. And she's indeed the bestest Lawyer you will ever had." Bbm said, pumapalakpak naman ang lahat ng taong nasa HQ.

Bumaba si Bbm sa mini stage and headed towards his wife, and two sons, while Stelle is trailing behind his back.

"Hi, Good evening po Mrs. Marcos." Stelle greeted to Bbm's wife, Liza stood up from her seat and did cheeck-to-cheek with Stelle.

"This is Simon and Vinny, wait, Where's Sandro? He's nowhere to be seen since the program started." Mrs. Marcos asked, eyeing the HQ hoping she will see Sandro's shadow somewhere.

"He went out to take a call Ma," Simon answered

Bbm was about to speak but a guy interrupted and went towards his mom and kissed her cheeks.

"Sorry, I had to take a call, Did the rpogram started?" He asked.

"He's here na. Btw, it already started the moment you went out to asnwer the call. Pops already introduced his Private Attorney." Vinny said, making him nod.

"Atty. Canonizado, This is Sandro, the eldest among the three of them." Bbm said while patting Sandro's shoulder

"And Sandro, This is Atty. Stelle Canonizado, my Private attorney." Stelle smiled towards him and he smiled back.

Sandro stood up and extended his hand, asking for a hand shake. Stelle accepted it and smiled.

"It's nice to meet you" They said at the same time

Simon and Vinny faked cough on the side. Bbm just eyed them and lowered their heads while preventing to laugh together.

"Stop teasing them! Atty. Canonizado might have a boyfriend!" Bbm scolded the two.

"No, no. Its okay, and I don't have a boyfriend po. HAHA." She faked laughed.

"Atty. Canonizado, might well as join us with dinner tonight?" Mrs. Marcos ask politely.

"Sure, Mrs. Marcos." She smiled, Mrs. Marcos gestured the empty seat beside her

"And one more thing, Just call me Tita Liza. Its too formal to hear Mrs. Marcos." Tita Liza said, stelle jut nodded and smiled

"And me just call me Stelle Mr-- I mean Tita. Wala naman pong iba iba." Sagot niya

Tita Liza was about to speak, but my phone started ringing. I apologized and headed out to answer the call.

"Hello? Atty. Canonizado, speaking" I said and waited the other line to response.

"I'm sorry for the inconvinience if you're busy tonight Atty, but I want to talk to you, this is Vice President Leni's P.A, she's asking if you can talk tomorrow? Or when you are free?" The voice from the other line said.

"Oh, just come to my office tomorrow, and we can talk." I answered politely.

"Thank you atty, See you tomorrow." He said and hanged up the call.

I headed back to the Marcos' table and sat, I apologized for the second time, gladly they just say its okay.

"Who called you?" Bbm asked,

"Oh, to be honest, It's the VP's P.A, he's asking po we can talk tomorrow or when I will be free. And I said tomorrow." I answered.

"Hmm, I bet you're thinking the same to me." Bbm said and chuckled.

"Yes ofcourse. But let's see what they planned tomorrow" I chuckled too.

"Atty, VP Leni is here." I heard my secretary said infront of my door. I gestured her to let them in, while I tidied up my table before they go in.

After a few minutes, I heard the sounds of her approaching heels. I stood up from my swivel chair and cleared my throat.

I smiled,the moment they entered my office and went towards their direction.

"Good Morning, Ma'am." Her P.A greeted me and I smiled back.

"Good morning, So, Vice President, What do you want to talk about?" I asked straightly.

"I know you watched news about Cancelling the candidacy of Mr. Marcos right?" She said, making me raise my eyebrows.

"I knew it." I said in my thoughts.

I knew that she will talk about this, and the worstest, she will ask me to be her Private Attorney, well in fact she is attorney herself. We all know she is one of the masterminds of this cancellation, and its too obvious.

Also the petitions they keep on filing against Mr. Marcos is just non-sense. Why would they file now, that he already filed his Candidacy as the President?

"I heard that in news. So what's the point?" I asked.

"Well, I want to win against him. Or to be frankly, I want his candidacy to be cancelled. So, I am asking you if I could get you as my Personal Attorney or the Private one?" She said that made me Chuckled.

'If you only knew'

"Hmm, I'll think about it." I lied. Let's see how much they can bid, just to get me. They are so desperate to bring down the Marcos, knowing that the People of the Philippines are favor for him as the President.

"50,000 dollars. Are you up for it?" She asked and tossed a brief case infront of me, exposing the bundles of Dollars.

I secretly glanced at the hidden CCTV'S around my office and smirked. You don't know this Lawyer you're bidding with.

"That's just my tuition fee back in Harvard. And my father can give me that if I asked him to, so, Its a no for me." I said tossing the case back in her.

"100,000 dollars." She said and opened another pile of money.

"Desperate to get me huh?" I said, making them froze.

"Well, Ms. Vice President. I don't easily get fooled by anyone. As you can see, my family or me by myself can get that money in one tap. So, its final. Its a NO for me." I said. They don't have any words to say again.

"Any words? Okay then, I have. Stop using your money just to win thos nonsense things. You're just fooling yourself. And I would say, kapakanan ng mga mamamayang Pilipino ang pinag uusapan natin dito. At hindi ko itataya ang kaalaman ko para lang sa wala." I said. They are speechless.

"But, you see, I can think about it." I said that made them looked up to see me.

"Okay then, I'll wait for that" she said and walked out of my office without saying goodbye.

"Well, I have, We have a surpirse to you, see that for yourself." I said watching them exit my company
