Lie and Kill (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER XI : An Advice

Rye POV,

Pagkalabas ko ng elevator, I saw the girl from yesterday infront of the glass door of the conference room. Bubuksan na sana niya ang glass door ng signalan ko siyang wag na muna gamit ang kamay ko.

This day will be the meeting between the Chairman and the Board Members.

Nang tuluyan na akong makalapit sa babae ay tinignan ko siya sa mata. "What's your name pala?"

"Grace po,"

"Okay. Let's go inside."

Nakita ko pa na lumaki ang mata niya. She's in shock, I know. Ibig kong sabihin dun ay hindi ko siya paalisin sa trabaho niya. I can handle my self alone but I don't want her to suffer because of me. This is her dream job and she love this job — as I also love my mom.

Pagkapasok sa conference room ay biglang huminto ang maiingay na usapan ng mga board members na nakaupo paikot sa mataas na lamesa habang nakatingin sa akin. They are staring and observing me. I smiled.

"Am I late?" unang lumabas sa bibig ko. Kita ko kasing parang kompleto na sila. Andito na rin ang hayop. So, it means ako nalang talaga ang inaantay nila. 

"Is she the new CEO, Chairman Alvañez?" one of the old man of the board member asked the bastard who are silently looking at me.

"Yes." tumayo si Alvañez "Everyone, she is Miss Risha Gonzagon a multi billionaire who owns so many condo's and stocks on different companies in a different countries,"

Wow. I didn't expect that to be like that. I should thank Sophie because of that. Para tuloy talaga akong napaka yaman na tao sa earth.

This is how we work. Kaya naming manipulahin ang lahat na para bang totoo.

"She own a 30% of stocks of the company. She is my newly elected Chief Executive Officer." pagpapakilala niya sa akin. Hindi ko inalis ang ngiti ko sa labi. Yung ngiti na hindi kita ang mga ngipin. Just a usual greetings smile.

"How about your son? He's good at this field. We can't afford to lose anything if there's a circumstances. We trust Mister Jake over anyone else"  may nagreklamo na. Napabuntong hininga na ako. Hindi ko naman aakalain na dapat pa pala agree ang lahat sa isang desisyon ng Chairman. What do I do? Think, think.

"I also agree to Mr. Fernandez, Chairman Alvañez."

"This is too risky. And what's with the 30% stocks? Why is it too big?" the old woman commented too

I laugh a little na ikinatahimik nila lalo na si Alvañez na unti-unting napaupo habang nag-aantay sa sasabihin ko. Sinadya ko naman talagang gawin 'yon para makuha ang atensyon nilang lahat.

"I can buy the entire company if you want, Grandma." tinignan ko yung huling nagsalita kanina. Hindi ko naman talaga intensyong mawalan ng respeto but in this work kailangan kong isugal lahat — —lahat.  "50 billion over a 30%? Ang sakit sa bulsa but if you don't want me to be your CEO then okay,"

Nilagay ko ang mga palad ko sa dibdib ko kung nasan ang parte ng puso at nag pout. Isa-isa ko silang tinignan "It's nice to meet you all. Have a bad day, everyone!" I said my final farewell to them and waved my hand before exiting the conference room. Naramdaman ko pa ang pagsunod ni Grace hanggang sa makalabas kami "You stay here,"  I told her without facing her and continue walking. I'm confident they will never just let me go. I can see the reaction earlier, shock sila pagkakasabi ko sa amount ng pera and so I believe they will come run to me. Napangiti ako at pumasok sa elevator nang bumukas ito.
