A Shield of Love (MASVEDO SERIES #4)

Wakas

Nakakunot ang noo ko habang nanonood ng isang local teleserya. What's the name of that actress again?

"You wanna try showbiz? You and that young star could be love team," nanunuyang sabi ni Mommy kaya mabilis ko na inalis ang mga mata ko sa tv.

"Not interested," malamig na sabi ko saka mabilis na umakyat sa taas kung nasaan ang kwarto ko.

Mom has been forcing me to join show business which I don't like. Clark and Bianca is somehow interested. I find managing our company interesting and I want my privacy.

In such a young age Dad trained me well how to manage our Giant company. At habang tumatagl mas lalo kong nagugustuhan at bawat parte nito. I am born for this. I am born to lead our business.

"Kuya!"

Tamad kong binalingan si Bianca na nagmamadaling tumatakbo sa grand staircase. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa malawak sa ngiti niya.

"What it is?"

"I know you'll go home, look!"

Napabuntong hininga ako saka marahan na tinanggap ang mga photo cards na nilahad niya. She started showbiz and I know she's really doing good.

Saglit akong napatitig sa isang photo card kung saan may kasama siyang babae. Who's this? Familiar though.

"Oh, that's Joyce. She's really a great actress like Mom!"

Wala sa sarili akong napatango at mabilis na binalik sa kanya ang mga pictures.

"You're doing good," tanging sabi ko na lang saka nagtuloy-tuloy sa pag-akyat sa taas dahil may kukunin ako sa kwarto ko noon dito.

"Sa condo mo ka matutulog?" Bianca asked so I nodded as an answer.

I managed our business even I'm still studying. And when I graduated dad let me handle everything which I really like because I need to gain experiencez to start my own.

Fsailship is a great help for me. Alam kong masyadong malaki ang kompanya namin pero mas lalo akong matututo dito. We have total of twenty ships that are sailing all over the world bringing the important goods from every country. We are the largest company here in our country in terms of boats.

Just how fast the night changes.

"Shit!" mura ni Vince habang nag-iinuman kami.

I want to vomit seeing him heartbroken. Damn this guy. So gay.

I never imagined myself to be smitten. I'm too young for that. And I found it too cliche. Maybe when I turned forty I could marry? Damn.

As the years go by I witnessed my friends going crazy over love. I always laughed at them because I don't imagined myself being crazy because of that shit.

"Wait 'till it got you," banta ni Dave pero napahalakhak lang ako.

Is this a joke? That's so lame.

I will never be like them. Never.

The high-end club in Hong Kong is too loud. Maraming nagsasayaw sa gitna. I am enjoying watching women dance seductively. Going here for business is really a good idea.

"Hi handsome," the blonde girl greeted so I smirked at her.

"Hi," bati ko kaya nang-aakit siyang ngumiti saka akmang uupo sa mga hita ko pero hindi sinasadyang napasulyap muli ako sa dance floor.

I suddenly forgot about the woman who approaced me because I saw a familiar woman dancing. Halos lahat ng lalaki na nasa malapit ay nasa kanya ang tingin.
