  "Ma'am the invitations for the business convention next week are already distributed all over the world. Do you still have anything else that you would like me to do?" my secretary asked

"No, you can leave now," I said.

Nandito ako sa 40th floor ng company na pagmamay-ari ko, ang SELTECHNOLOGY dito sa Las Vegas. I'm doing final touches for the event next week na gaganapin sa hotel namin dito din sa Las Vegas. Kararating ko lang din galing Los Angeles from my other appointment doon with my other company ang SILVER APPAREL.

Selvestres Group of Companies are the sponsor for this year's annual business convention. It is an event na you can meet other entrepreneurs, whether aspiring or successful. It's a gala, and it depends on the sponsor kong ano ang theme.

Since I'm hooked on masquerades nowadays, I told everyone that it would be a masquerade theme. Hindi dapat ako ang nag-aasikaso nito eh. I am obviously not the CEO and the eldest or whatsoever. But, my grandfather, the founder, insisted that I should be the one to organise it. Dahil di rin naman ako makatanggi, at mas lalong di tumatanggap ng rejections ang lolo ko, I don't have a choice. Also, I'm the only Selvester na nandito sa America, and our main and biggest hotel is here, kaya wala talaga akong choice. Gaganapin kasi ito sa hotel namin na ang pangalan ay AD ASTRA HOTEL, and it is owned by my eldest brother, Kuya Eros Golde M. Selvester.

I have a choice, but my grandfather doesn't give me choices.

*Rings!*

I picked up my phone as soon as it rang again.

"Katelyn Selvester speaking."

"Kate! I just arrived at the airport here in Las Vegas. Asan ka ba?"

I check the name of the person on the other line.

"Just come straight here in the company. Marami akong ipapagawa sayo." sabi ko ng malaman kong ang personal assistant slash right hand ko sa business world ang tumawag sa akin.

"Great, nakita ko na driver mo. Glad I could see you again! After five years." halata namang excited ang tono nito.

"Glad that you are! See you." We bid goodbyes and I hung up the phone.

Yes, it has been five years since I left my home country.

I left the Philippines so I could have a fresh start. So I could heal myself from all the anxieties that I had back then. To move on sa lahat ng toxicities ng mga nakapaligid sa akin. It is working, I guess.

I am Katelyn Sylver M. Selvester. The youngest daughter of a Business tycoon which is my dad, Mr. Philippe Selvester and a doctor/lawyer Mrs. Kathyrin M. Selvester. I have three older brothers, Kuya Eros Golde Selvester, the youngest successful lawyer ng Pilipinas and the owner of AD ASTRA HOTEL, Kuya Philip Bronz Selvester, the youngest Neurosurgeon in the world, na isa ng medical doctor sa pag mamay-ari nitong hospital, SELVESTRE MEDICAL HOSPITAL and Kuya Carlos Spinel Selvester, he is a car racer. He owned SELVESTRE TRANPORTS.

Marami akong ginagawa inline with the event next week. Marami din naman kasi ang ininvite. I invited almost all of the high-profile personalities and big-time entrepreneurs all over the world. It is a chance to know some investors, to make your company known. Hindi lang kasi malalaking kompanya ang ininvite namin. I also acknowledge those companies who are still starting to rise.

My office telephone rang so I answered it

"Ma'am you have a call from your father."

"Put him in the line."
