PLEASURE OF DEFRAY

CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17

HILOT-HILOT ni Lady Gissele ang batok nang matapos ang mga papeles na kailangan niyang basahin bago pirmahan. Para ito sa mga input and output ng proyekto ng company at connection sa ibang branches sa ibang bansa.

She had enough. Hindi na niya kaya pang ituloy ang ginagawa. Her brain was drained after reading numerous documents. She had better rest. Mabuti sana kung robot siya at bakal ang katawan, edi posible na tapusin niya lahat sa isang oras ang mga trabahong nakaatas sa kaniya.

Minsan pa nga na naisip niya kung mainam yata na si Flecia na ang gawin niyang CEO ng kumpanya para hayahay na lang siya at makapag-travel pa sa iba't ibang bansa.

Ngunit ayaw ni Flecia dahil isa rin iyong tamad gaya niya.

The Vice-President entered her office after the person outside informed her through a telephone call that he wanted to talk to her.

Si VP Sivon na nasa forties ang pumasok. Hindi niya ito kamag-anak o ano pa man at kahit pa matanda ay hindi niya magawang irespeto.

'Pagpasok ni VP Sivon ay yumuko pa ito sa kaniya at inantay siya sa couch na malayo-layo sa table niya.

Extremely tired, Lady Gissele stood up and approached the VP. And sat on the other couch that was in front of him.

"Why, Mr. Sivon?" formally, she asked.

"Nothing important, young lady."

"Then, you may leave—"

"Young lady, the founder of The House of Pleasure wished this corporation to invest to thiers." he pointed out.

Natigilan ang dalaga. Hearing the name of the company where Caleb works.

Itinago ni Lady Gissele ang interest sa kaniyang mukha. Does The House of Pleasure need her help? Oh, she never thought of that. Akala niya umaarangkada pataas ang kumpanya dahil sa ganda ng disenyo ng building nito nang huli niyang nakita. But now? What was she hearing? Investing? Her?

"Really?" her face was flat and so was her voice.

Ipinagkros ng dalaga ang mga hita. Excited to hear more information about it.

"Yes, young lady. Papalugi na iyon dahil ang may-ari na si Mr. Christian ay kakamatay lang no'ng nakaraang taon. May dalawa itong anak na babaeng maluho kaya pinag-agawan ang mana at yaman ng ama. At panganay na ang namamahala ng The House of Pleasure ngayon. Her name is Irine." paliwanag ng VP.

"How did you know that? That Irene, did she directly say that to you and directly seek your help because you have a connection to me?" walang ligoy na pagwawasto niya.

Matapat si Mr. Sivon na tumango. "Kaibigan ko si Mr. Christian, young lady. Kaya sana kung maaari, tulungan mo sila."

Tumalim ang tinging ipinukol niya sa kaharap. "Are you ordering me, Mr. VP Sivon?"

VP Sivon sounded ordering, and that was one of the things the young lady abhored. She just asked, so there was no need for Mr. Sivon to feel petrified. But his appearance showed it all. 

"No, young lady. I'm begging." nakayukong saad ng matanda at wala pa mang sinasabi si Lady Gissele ay bigla itong lumuhod.

Lady Gissele was not flabbergasted. Maraming taong lumuluhod sa kapangyarihan niya.

It was obvious that Mr. Sivon coveted her help for its welfare, or she might say, the welfare of his beloved friend. Which was not related to Lady Gissele.

It was true that this help was interesting for Lady Gissele because she wanted to be connected to The House of Pleasure due to Caleb. She wanted to know the things she didn't know yet about this company.
