Bonus Chapter- Luke's POV

Luke's POV

"I want May in my company," giit na wika ni Chase.

Humarap ako sa kanya habang nakatingin sa tatlong babae na nakaluhod sa may gilid ng pintuan ko. What are they doing?

"We don't do employee exchange, Rodriquez," pabalang kong sagot.

"I didn't say anything about exchanging Javier. I WANT MAY IN MY COMPANY," Chase added emphasizing each word. Goosebumps made their way through my skin as he stared at me intently. He is really similar to Elena in a way. "I believe that's what I said."

"Perez Estate Company does not transfer their employees to other companies, Rodriguez. This is not some sort of game," saad ko habang nakikipagtagisan ng titig kay Chase. "Kung wala ka ng ibang sasabihin. You may leave."

Chase crossed his arms with his brows arched at me, "Are you sure you are in a position to talk that way to me, Mr. Javier?"

Napasalubong ang kilay ko sa sinabi ni Chase. What is he trying to say?

"You know if I want to put my heart into it. I could easily bring the Perez Estate Company down," maangas niyang tugon habang pilyong nakangiti.

Napatiim baga nalang ako sa narinig. Conceited assh*le. I know their company and Elena's are close rivals but he can't easily bring down a long time established company. Even if Elena is not at her best at the moment, he can't easily bring Perez down that fast. For all I know, he's just all talk.

"Don't get too full of yourself Rodriguez. You are talking about the largest and top company in Asia," walang emosyon kong sagot.

I got more irritated when I saw his smirk grew bigger. He really have his way to get in my nerves. Talk about jerk of the century.

"Don't underestimate me Javier. Our company is your top rival. Isang laro lang para sa akin ang pamamalakad sa kompanya, paano pa kaya kung magseryoso na ako?"

I clicked my tongue in annoyance. This arrogant conceited asshole

"It's a piece of cake for me to bring down Perez Estate Company especially when the CEO is not in her right state of mind and is currently out of the country," I saw how his lips curved in amusement. "The great Luke Javier has no idea where Elena Perez is. Let me tell you something, Javier. I wouldn't be called by the people to be their so-called Mr. Perfect for nothing."

After saying those words he turned his back to me and walked out. Hinilot ko ang sentido ko, ano namang problema to. The door suddenly flew open, akala ko ay si Rodriguez na naman ang nagbalik pero nagkamali ako.

"Mr. Perez," mahina kong tawag sa bagong dating na si sir Elandro.

He meekly smiled at me as he strode towards the couch, "Skip with the formalities, Luke. You are like a son to me, now tell me. Ano ba itong balitang nasagap ko."

Lumingon siya sa tatlong babaeng nakaluhod sa gilid ng pintuan. Nakayuko sila at nakita kong humihikbi. Lumapit ako sa kanila at inalalayang tumayo.

"Please, sit down, and let's talk," I gently ordered.

I don't want girls to be mistreated. What they did was heinous; they nearly killed May, for God's sake! But I need to keep my cool; violence will never fix anything. I learned a lot from my clients, getting swayed in the heat of the moment can always turn out in a mess just like what these women did.

"Now, tell me. Ms. Solas, what was the commotion all about?" panimula ni Tito Elandro.

The ladies were deafeningly quiet. Their fumbling fingers demonstrated that they had returned to their senses and felt remorseful. However, as far as I am aware, this is not the first time they have bullied May. This must be resolved immediately. I wonder... how many times did they bully her? How many times did May have to clenched her teeth and suffer from their harassment?

"Maaari kayong makasuhan sa ginawa niyo, Ms. Solas," saad ko

"Parang awa niyo na po. Huwag niyo po kaming kakasuhan. Ayokong makulong!" The girl with a blond hair cried. I believe she's Ms. Chui

Napailing nalang ako. Ayaw nilang makulong pero nagawa nila ang bagay na 'yon.

"Isang malaking scandal ito sa kompanya. Hindi niyo man lang ba naisip na makakasira ito sa kompanya? I have no choice but to fire you three," tugon ni Tito Elandro.

Nakita ko ang panlalaki ng mata ng tatlo. They were about to protest but I stopped them. They still had the urge to complain? If Tito Elandro was not just kind and lenient they would be facing charges now. They should be...

"Maaari na kayong lumabas," utos ko sa tatlo.

"Now, now. This is definitely bad," mahinang wika ni Tito Elandro.

"Ano pong problema tito?"

"Makakasama 'to sa kompanya. Ang tanging makakapantay lang sa mga Rodriguez ay ang anak ko. Chase is quite fond of Ms. Gonzales, I don't think papalampasin niya ang insidenteng ito. Knowing that kid, I'm sure he will do something," mahabang wika ni Tito, kitang kita sa kanyang mga mata ang pag-aalala.

Sa pagkakaalam ko. Matalik na magkaibigan si Tito Elandro at ang tatay ni Chase kaya muntik ng matali si Chase at Elena sa isa't isa. Nagpapasalamat nalang ako at gago si Chase dahil kung hindi baka walang Elena at ako. Nag-usap lang kami ni Tito Elandro at nagpaalam na din siya matapos namin mag-usap. Biglang nag-ring ang phone ko at napasalubong ang kilay ko ng unregistered number ito.

"Hell—" hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko ng mapagtanto kung sino ang nasa kabilang linya.

"Luke,"

I've been wanting to hear this voice for a long time. It's as though I'm in heaven when I hear her mention my name. It's as if I've forgotten what it's like to be sad. She is truly my joy.

"The moment we'll meet again. Everything is going to be different, get yourself ready Luke. And, I know this is sheer selfishness, but just fulfill this final wish of mine. I'll explain everything to you when we meet again but please when that time comes, please don't leave me," she stated her voice breaking.

Why is she crying again? I don't like her crying. Parang sinasaksak ng paulit ulit ang puso ko. I was about to answer her when she hung up the phone. Elena, what are you talking about?
