Akala ko magkakagulo na. Buti na lang biglang sumabat si Kuya Nick na walang ka alam-alam sa nangyayari. Poor him but it's better this way.
"He is my cousin. He's with me, we'll seat in front," Sabi nito sa humarang saking mga guwardiya. Tumingin naman sila kay Damien at tinanguan ang mga ito kaya't nagsialisan na sila.
Pati yung mga tauhan ko'y nagsilabasan na din sa hall.
"I told you sana sinabi na lang natin na sasama ka dito sa inauguration. Look at that commotion a while ago," Madiin niyang sabi.
"Sorry, Kuya. My bad."
Nang matapos ang pagsasalita ni Damien ay tumungo ito sa table kung saan nakaupo din ang kanyang mga magulang.
"As time passes by, the company stays on the top and I proudly introduce to you a new major stockholder who bought 20% of all the company shares. Please welcome, Ms. Nadia Torres!" Pag- introduce nung emcee.
She entered in the big hallway doors in a sophisticated white gown embedded with crystals. She looks like an angel!
Nagsitayuan naman ang mga tao at nagpalakpakan habang naglalakad ito sa gitna papuntang harapan.
Nang malapit na ito sa stage ay inalalayan ito ni Damien habang ang kanyang magulang naman ay tumayo din upang makipagkamayan dito.
"Magandang umaga sa inyong lahat," Panimula nito. "Maybe you all are wandering why I invested a lot in this company." Nagsitanguan naman ang mga tao.
"First of all, I invested that amount because this company is well established and the connection between Damien and I is impeccable," Makahulugang sabi nito na nagpatawa sa mga tao. Ngunit tumaas naman ang kilay ko.
Nahuli ko naman ang tingin ni Damien sakin.
"I hope we'll work together well in this company. Thank you," Pagtatapos niya sa speech niya.
Pagkatapos ng mga iba't- iba pang mga speeches ay tinawag na ang Dad niya as the newly appointed CEO ng kumpanya.
"I am thankful and grateful today as the newly appointed CEO of this company," Panimula niya. "My son Damien will be focusing into some work for the meantime so I will be stepping up for him. Nadia here will be helping me with the works as she is a well-established businesswoman in the states. Hopefully she will be my in law in the future," Patawa niyang sabi.
Wow! A dagger accidentally stabbed me directly. Smooth.
"Kuya, please excuse me. I need to go now. An urgent matter came in, see you around," Sabi ko at tumayo na paalis ng venue.
Pagkatayo ko ay dumaan na ako sa gilid upang hindi makakuha ng madaming atensyon. Kita ko naman ang pagsunod ng mga tingin nung mga kasamahan ni Isaiah na guards at pati na din si Damien.
Mas binilisan ko na lang ang lakad upang hindi ako maabutan nino man kung sakali.
"Hello, Jay?"
"Where are you going, Sir?" Tanong niya. "I will leave now. You all should go too," Sagot ko.
"I'll just call Chrystian. I'll go somewhere," Dagdag ko.
"Copy, Sir."
Binaba ko ang tawag at sinunod namang tawagan si Chrystian. "Chrystian, umalis na ako sa inauguration ceremony. I'll be going somewhere I don't know. I want to unwind, please don't let anyone follow me. Babalik din ako." Mahabang lintaya ko.
"W-What? S-Sure? Just call me then on where are you later. Okay?" Aniya.
"Sure." Sabi ko't binaba na ang tawag.
