Chapter 4

"Hey Andrea..what time is my meeting with the new investors?"
I ask Andrea as soon as we entered the elevator.

"Umm...2:30 ma'am-Issabella"
Tumango na lang ako at tumunog na Ang elevator ay lumabas na kami.
Nagbati saakin ang ibang mga empleyadong nakakilala saakin.

Nakasalubong ko naman si Kuya Dale. Nakasuot sya ng business suit. I greeted him. I saw him yesterday when I visited his condo.

"dad told about the incident that happened here last month, how come nobody told me?" I irritatedly ask him.

"What do you expect..mom won't allow you to know, she don't want you to be stressed but don't worry I already fixed it" he casually said.

"How come?"
My brows turns up looking at him.

"You really don't trust your handsome brother don't you?..That asshole stole a-"

"A thousand?"

"A billion my dear sister but don't worry he's in jail now..but we need to find another investor and your going to handle that, I already found one but I don't know if you want to see him"

Him!?

"Who?"
Me. Curious of what he is talking to or pertaining to.

He smirked "You'll see..." and he stated walking creepily.

"Please can somebody remind me that he is not my brother..." I whisper and beg Andrea. She just laughed and follow me to my new office.

I'm just signed documents and it's already lunch time. I look at my watch and it's already 2pm. This time is my lunch time. I stood up and open the door. I saw Andrea in her desk.

"May kailangan po kayo?".she ask when she saw me.

"No..I'm just going to grab some lunch..wanna join me?" I ask but she said that she already had lunch earlier. Mag-isa na lang akong kumain sa labas at pagkatapos at bumalik na agad sa Company.

I forehead creased when I saw familiar mens walking in the company. I'm sure I'm not mistaken.
They're here....Akiro's friends is here.
I don't know why they are here. My eyes widen thinking that he might also here. I looked around and I sighed in relief when I don't see him near his friends.

"What in the hell are they doing here?" I whispered. Then I remembered something.

"Umm excuse me may I talk to Akiro?"
I ask the man standing next to me. I'm sure he is one of Akiro's friend.

"May I know who are you miss?"
He ask in deepest tone. It made me shivered.

Of course they don't know me...Akiro won't let them know that he already have a wife.

"I'm his-"

"Hey Apollo! Come on, Akiro's proposing now!"

I blink twice before I see Akiro in his knees holding Xien's hand. Xien is smiling with tears in her eyes. I saw how Akiro get up and wipe those tears.  My heart broke into pieces.

Tila napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon. Hindi ako makahinga ng maayos. Blurd na rin ang nakikita ko dahil sa mga luhang namumuo sa mga mata ko.

"Yes!, I will marry you"

Doon na tuluyang tumulo ang masagana kung mga luha. Dumoble pa ang sakit ng sabihin ng lalaking pinakamamahal ko ang salitang hindi nya kailanman masasabi saakin.

"I love you..."

Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang sakit na nadarama ko. Umiwas na lang ako ng tingin at naglakad papalayo.

I don't want to remember that day. Ayaw kong makaapekto pa ulit sya sakin. Kung magkita kami edi magkikita kami hindi ko pwedeng iwasan ang tadhana pero isa lang masiguro ko hindi na ako katulad ng dati.

"Ma'am our new investors are waiting for you in the meeting room" Andrea inform me. I just nod.

I sighed multiple times before I open the door. All eyes are on me. I just confidently walk and sit on my chair. I strongly met his gaze. I already feel his presence when I entered the room. He's the only one who can make my heart beats like this.

Para kong pinagtaksilan ang sarili ko ng hindi ko maiwasang tingnan ang kabuoan nya. He's fit than before. His face his matured now. They way he stared at me screams how powerful he is but I don't give a fudge in his look. I strongly look back meeting his gaze.

"~muling ibalik ang tamis- aray!"
I looked at one of his friend who sing. It's Krilton the one who hit him in the chest is Apollo. I know them but they don't me.

Nagdala ka pa talaga ng nga alagad mo ah.

"So..Sir, I'm not here to have a staring contest with you, are you willing to invest in our company or what? 'cause if not you're free to leave and take your friend with you" I said.

He smirked "Is that how you talk to your investors?" He ask.

"your not our investor yet sir..."

"Bella...."

"Issabella. Call me Issabella, so are you willing or not?, If not then better leave" Me emphasizing every word I said.

"Me and Dale already talk about this, I'm willing to invest in your company-"

"Why?, Kuya Dale is not the owner of this company anymore, I'm in charge and I say, We don't need your help.."
I said.

"Wewww"
I looked at one of his friend. I don't know his name.

"Then talk to Dale, look I'm not the one who insisted, Your dad called me so I'm just trying to help" He clench his jaw. Getting irritated.

"Well I don't regret to inform you that I don't need your help, Mister" I said meeting his cold stares.
