Lover

Kabanata 42

Ilang araw ang lumipas na bumalik ulit sa normal ang routine namin ni Red. We are working alongside with each other. I will drop her off her firm in the morning. We'll have lunch together and I will fetch her around 7 pm in her firm and we'll retire to bed after dinner.

But I guess today will be different since everyone is asked for a meeting. Kasama ulit kaming dalawa ni Red. Dahil natuto na kami nung first meeting ay mas maaga kami ng 15 minutes sa call time.

Nagulat  naman kami na halos lahat ng mga board members  ay nandito na rin. Kahit yung mga matatanda na at ayaw kunong magpa-ilalim sa kapangyarihan ng babae ay nandito. At mukhang mga tutang ngangayon pa lang matututo tumahol nang maayos.

Bago mag  8 am ay kumpleto na kami. Sinarado na ang pinto.

By exactly 8 am the Devil grace us with her infamous presence. She is wearing a black spaghetti strapped dress above the knee length, emphasizing her long legs. Her boyfriend coat is placed neatly on her shoulders. While her stilettos is about 3 inches. Just enough make her look intimidating.

“Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen! If some of don't have any idea about me. I am Atty. Reverence Deil Villafuente. I am quite infamous with my alias, devil,” Saad nito sabay lipat ng presentation niya gamit ang clicker sa profile.

At malaking nakalagay doon ang pangalan niya with her several titles. Yung yabang na lowkey.

Atty./Dr. Reverence Deil Villafuente, JD., CPA., PhD., MD., MBA.

“I am granted with power to lead the discussion of expansion of pharmaceutical company under the conglomerate of Constantines. Which is one of our agenda for today.” She said casually.

“I already analyze the possibilities of the expansion to the European market.

I have three findings which are:

1. Expensive
2. Crucial
3. Possible

To be more specific let's discuss everything deeper. We all know that expansion is an investment. We are risking not only millions but billions of pesos but in the case of our project, we will be burning billions of euros.

Putting us in a crucial position, wherein everything we do is vital. Our steps should be well thought out and effective. Meaning we cannot afford to lose billions of euros leaving us with no choice but to fire people from the lowest position to once again stabilized the company.

But good thing is, the project is possible.
Possible if we will provide all the necessary documents to apply for the expansion and buy more land in European market to slowly infiltrate the market and later on reign."

Lahat ay naka-tingin sa kaniya kahit ang mga boomers ay puro mga nakatulala habang tuloy-tuloy ito sa present. Some are even taking notes of what she's talking about. I mean, sinong hindi makikinig kung ganiyan ka-persuasive magsalita ang speaker. And she is making sure to make an eye contact with everyone.

She cleared her throat before proceeding to the last part of her presentation, “To support my claims, I gathered different data from different parts of Europe especially the Paris. The data shows that the more land you have, the favourable opportunities for your company.  And we are not talking just a land. We are talking about profitable lands here. It doesn't mean you have more lands; you'll automatically generate more money.”

“To end my presentation, I would like to offer three things that we should consider such as, establish connections from the ruling business that we will later infiltrate, secure more profitable lands, and be patient.

Again, thank you for participating to this meeting." She added before gracefully leaving everyone in trance.

Yung mga presented graphs kanina may mga notes pa talaga that is efficient for working in macro and micro economics. Lahat naman ng board members ay nag-standing ovation habang pumapalakpak. Ako naman ay nanatiling naka-upo. Halos limang minuto nilang pinuri ang presentation niya.
