Chapter XVI
•Rowena•
"I'm sorry Sir. I failed to monitor the quality control kaya nagkaaberya sa manufacturing. Please don't take it on Mr. Morgan and Mr. Terazono," I said and apologized to the director of K.Y. I found out what happened yesterday. They were visited the Lab in Sta. Maria, only to find out a quarter of the first batch of PUB 1 has defective materials. Reuben didn't mention na nagkakaproblema pala sila sa materials kaya hindi naagapan yung nangyare kahapon at pinatawag si Mr. Morgan.
"You failed to monitor what?! Hindi ba sa'yo pinagkatiwala ni Key ang trabahong to?! How could you fail such simple task?!"
"I'm so sorry Sir. It won't happen again."
"Masasabi moba yan sa board Ms. Alcantara?! This could cost us millions of investments dahil madedelay ang launching ng robot nayon! Do you even get me?! Kung sanang tinutukan mo ng maigi narecheck sana ang quality ng materials bago naideliver at nabuksan sa Sta. Maria!"
Napayuko nalang ako. There's no one else to blame but me. Umiikot sa'kin as the project head yet I failed to do my job properly.
"I'm really really sorry Sir. Gagawan ko po ng paraan-"
"Gawan mo ng paraan at ibalik mo yung mga depektibong materyales sa manufacturer! Kung hindi, ikaw ang ibabalik ko sa Seattle! Get out!"
Humingi ako ulit ng dispensa bago umalis. Pagkatapos sa isa, paglabas ko nagaantay pa ang isa, yung manager.
"Ano ba tong kapalpakan na to Ms. Alcantara?! God knows kung gaano kaimportante ang quality control!"
Puro sorry lang ang lumabas sa bibig ko. Hindi ko rin kasi alam kung anong nangyare, but when I contacted that manufacturer of materials siniguro naman nila na ok lahat. Hindi naman ako pwedeng pumunta ng Japan para icheck yung binabalot nila kung gumagana ba o hindi.
"I'm contacting the manufacturer now Sir. Don't worry I'll do my best to refund the defective materials-"
"You better do so Ms. Alcantara, tandaan mong hindi lang ikaw ang maiipit dit-"
"Rowena," napalingon ako sa pintuan ng office.
"Goodmorning Mr. Terazono," the manager greeted him pero hindi man lang nito ito tinignan.
"In my office now," he said. He looks mad. Humingi ako ulit tawad bago umalis mula doon.
"Tell me what happened," he said pagpasok na pagpasok ko palang. I opened my phone and showed her that the manufacturer assured me all of them are working just fine before shipping from Japan to here.
"I was on a day off yesterday and I just found out now what happened yesterday-"
"Then what is Brent doing Rowena?" Kalmado ngunit ramdam ang nagbabagang pagkairita sa boses ni Sir Key kaya hindi ako makatingin ng maayos sakanya.
"It was completely my fault Si-"
"I'm asking what is Mr. Morgan doing, Ms. Alcantara. He should be, of all people, the one focused on the quality control. Paanong nakalagpas to sa mga tauhan n'ya?! What are they doing? Nasaan sya?" Sunod sunod ang tanong n'ya.
"Pinatawag sya kahapon ng higher ups. I don't know what happened Sir-"
"What?! Bakit hindi nakarating sa'kin na ipinatawag sya?!" Tanong nito na ikinagulat ko rin.
"Hindi ikaw ang nagpatawag sakanya?" I asked him.
"You would've known. You're the bridging party of this project Ms. Alcantara. Dadaan lahat dapat sa'yo before reaching either K.Y. or ME," he said. That's why nagtataka ako bakot hindi ko alam ang nangyare pagpapatawag sakanya.
