"Honestly...wanted na ba ako sa London?"
Kunot noo kong tanong sa kaniya.
We sat comfortably on the couch of Beauty Café as we talked about the shithole he is talking about.
"Yep.Companies are suing Vana Doyla for fraud about your newly released product."
Tumikhim siya matapos inuman ang tsaa.
"And what exactly can you do?",kunot pa rin ang aking noo habang nakatitig sa kaniya.
"I am a Lawsuit Attorney,Antonette.We can fix this legally...",huinto siya at may kinuhang folder sa kaniyang bag at saka ito ipinakita sa akin.
"...according to their accusations,your company has been asking them for funds and investments to process your new products but nothing arrived at their places...your new product,based on their point of view,is exactly a bluff."
Anak ng--
"How can they say that it's bluff? Nahihibang na nga talaga sila.",pinag-krus ko ang aking braso sa aking dibdib."At sino naman ang humingi sa kanila ng ganoong klaseng request? I've been busy handling both companies to help one another.",umirap ako.
"The email's server was from your laptop.",he said seriously.
Napabalikwas ako ng upo at tumitig sa kaniya.
"What?! M-Me?"Shit!
Hinila-hila ko ang aking buhok dahil sa matinding pagka-bahala.
Paano na 'to?
"Actually...I can help you with that...you have to-"
Attorney Conandoyle is calling...
My phone rang and it flashed the attorney's name.
"A moment-Hello?"
[We have a big problem Ma'am.The company is not stable now,and many companies from America are backing out because of the rumored fraud.]
My heart almost skipped a bit...
Naman oh...
Napaka-dami ko namang kailangang pag-daanan bago ko marating ang Epilogue.
"Tell the boards I'm calling a meeting.And also,kindly call my Personal Assisstant to tell Director Ramos about the status of our new product.This product release will be the top hit and we need to gain ambassadors."
[Yes ma'am]
I turned my phone off and looked at Lex again.
He's patiently waiting to say how he can help me with this chaos.
"I'm sorry...what was that you were trying to say?"
"You have too...marry me."
And the last words were almost a whisper.
I wouldn't sink in no matter how hard I try.
"Pardon?"
"Look...in order to regain their trust,you need to team up with me,you can also use my shares if we're married."
His eyes were full of hope.
Hope?
"A-Anong..."
"Trust me,Antonette.This is the most effective way.Our company will help yours,we'll help each other."
My lips parted with his words.
"You're really grabbing the chance that I'm in my lowest self,are you?",napayuko ako.
