I walked with elegance and made my way to my Nana's Office. This place is still the same, powerful and intimidating. The Grei Empire.
Binuksan ko ang pintuan sa Office nito at natigilan ng makita ang pamilyar na babae na naka-upo sa tabi ng Lola ko. Maikli ang buhok nito at mas lalong naging kamukha ng ina namin, representing every asset of our Mother. She's truly her first born,
"Celine, I'm glad that you could make it." Tumayo si Nana at nakangiti akong linapitan. Sumunod naman ang linta sa likod nito at binigyan ako ng napakalawak na ngiti. Idol mo si Joker teh? Kita ko na ngala-ngala mo eh.
"It's nice to see you again, Celine."
"It's not so nice to see you again, Criza." Sarkastikong sabi ko dito at hindi inalintana ang mga masasamang tingin na binibigay sa akin ng Nana ko. So what kong bastos ako makipag-usap? I hate her.
"Still as immature as you were, I see." She chuckled, popping a vein on me.
"Immature? What does that mean?" I acted like a dumb bitch and frowned at her.
"Girls! Ngayon na nga lang kayo magkikita ganiyan pa ang mga ugali niyo!" Suway sa amin ng Nana ko. Tinalikuran kami nito at bumalik sa kaniyang upuan at may linabas na invitation card sa kaniyang drawer.
Binalingan ko ng tingin ang linta sa tabi ko at tinaasan itong kilay. Why is she even here? Did she failed her exam abroad? I knew it, this dumbshit cant do anything right!
"Celine, you will be attending a party hosted by Ms.Felyn tonight who just came back from states as the owner of Grei Empire."
"How about Lancer?" I asked. Inayawan ko na nga ang puwestong iyon at binigay sa kaniya, kaya't bakit ako ang pupunta sa party na iyon?
"I approved your request that he will be the new owner, kaso ikaw parin ang nagmamay-ari ng Grei Empire hangga't hindi pa ito naipapasa sa kaniya. The ceremony is still a month away, Celine." She explained making me scoff. Akala ko pa naman labas na ako sa kung ano pang mangyari sa kompanyang ito, but now I am going to attend a party as the owner of this Empire again.
"Criza will acc—"
"Hell no!" I objected. Dito palang hindi ko na kayang nakikita siya, ang samahan pa kaya ako sa party na iyon? I don't wanna be around her for a few hours!
"Akin na yan," My hands grabbed the invitation on her desk and made my way out of her office without saying another thing. Mamamatay ako kung mananatili pa ako sa lugar na iyon! Hearing her breathe is enough to make me annoyed.
I stopped by at the market infront of my building and went inside to buy something. Sinuot ko ang jacket ko at nagmamadaling pumunta sa gilid para bumili ng sigarilyo. I stopped smoking for a few months but seeing that bitch back reminds me of burning cigarettes. It's ugly and it doesn't smell nice,
Kumuha ako ng isa at tiningnan ang mga litrato na nakalagay dito, and I am completely disgusted.
"Seriously, why do they even sell it, if it will only cause shits to our body." I rolled my eyes.
"Why are you buying it despite knowing It's effects?"
A baritone voice spoke behind me, sending shivers down to my spine.
