Cassius Vlad: The Vampire (COMPLETED)

CVTV 25

"Do you mind if I'll settle our business meeting in my place?" A man with gray hair asked me.

"I won't, Mr. Okinawa." I smiled at him. He's one of my new clients. Kailangan niya ang presentation ko so we have to meet.

Based on his physical appearance, I would say that he's still young. Maybe he's at his late 20's.

"Okay then, I'll just send you the address details." I nodded to him before our video call ended.

Okinawa Palacè. That's the name of our meeting place. According to the Google map, it's far from where I am. It's a two hour travel. That's a no problem for me tho. I'll just eat before I go.

Almost eleven in the morning when I started traveling. I called Cas so I can update him. Baka magtagal ako rito kaya mabuti nang alam niya.

"Yes, hon?" Mababa ang boses na salubong niya sa akin.

"In case that you'll look for me, I'm on my way to Okinawa Palacè. I have a biz meeting there,"

"Why there? That's far, you should've called me earlier so I can drive for ya." Nakikinita ko na ang pangungunot ng kanyang noo.

"No, no. It's okay, I can manage this. Kapag na-late ako ng uwi, probably, na-stuck lang ako sa traffic."

"Alright. I'll just fetch you,"

"No, Cas. I'm okay, you should just rest."

"I'm not tired, I'll fetch you later." His words are marked with finality. What else can I do? Maybe he's just that worried.

"Fine, I'll end the call now."

"Alright. Bye," I ended our line.

I stopped my car near to a golden gate. Like what I've expected, the whole place looks expensive. Mataas ang tila penthouse na building at sa taya ko ay nasa fifty to sixty floors iyon.

I dialed Mr. Okinawa's phone number to inform him that I'm already here. Pagkatapos ng tawag ay nilapitan ako ng isang unipormadong guard. He knocked to my window so I opened it.

"Ma'am, are you Ms. Venedicto?"

"Yeah,"

"May I see your I.D., Ma'am?"

"Sure," I handed him my card and he nodded.

"Okay, Ma'am. Welcome to Okinawa Palacè, you may enter." He motioned me the gate that is slowly opening.

Heavily guarded ang buong lugar. Mr. Okinawa messaged me his floor and room number.

Floor 36, Room number 712. I knocked to the wooden door when I reached the area. Unang katok pa lang ay kasunod na noon ang pagbukas ng pinto.

Isang lalaki may kulay gray na buhok ang sumalubong sa akin. Kahit kulay gray ang buhok niya ay hindi siya mukhang matanda, sakto lang. Iyong look na pang binata. Medyo suplado looking nga lang ang features niya pero gwapo siya. But mas gwapo pa rin si Cas.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Okinawa." I greeted him with a smile as I offer my hand to him for a handshake.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Lena. Just call me 'Yvorr'." He took my hand and smiled too.

"Then just call me 'Lena' then," we both chuckled.

Iginiya niya ako sa upuan na kaharap ng isang bilugang lamesa. May chandelier sa living room pero sa parteng may balcony kami magd-discuss ng business proposal.

May railing na itim sa gilid ko at sakto ang taas ng room na ito para sa isang magandang view. He put two cups of coffee at the table before he took his seat.
