Hiromaru Stanislaski's Point of View

Most of the time, I don't mind being rich. My parents' goal is to accumulate a large amount of money and my goal is to spend it when I see fit. I've been living a privileged life because of my hardworking parents. And now it's my turn to do what they're doing. Kapag iniisip ko pa lang ay napapahawak na lang ako sa aking noo. I'm still irritated by the thought of working in the company. Mas lalo lang din nadadagdagan ang inis ko dahil kanina pa tumutunog ang aking phone.

I fished my phone inside my pocket and check the notification.

"You're such a jerk! I hate you!!!" I groaned when I see Clevon on my right side peeping in my phone. Siya na rin ang nagbasa ng malakas nang makita niya ang text message sa aking phone. Natatawa itong lumayo sa akin.

"Ano bang ginawa mo sa nagtext sa'yo? Ramdam ko ang gigil niya mula sa paraan ng kanyang text. She even gave you a three exclamation point." I watched my cousin put my luggage on the back seat.

"She's started being clingy so I told her to fuck off." Ayan na lang nasabi ko pagkatapos kong iblock ang number na patuloy pa rin sa pagtext sa akin. After that, I put my phone inside my jeans pocket. I'm now back in the country, and the girl who kept texting me is in Europe. It's not like we can continue flirting with each other like we used to do back then. I don't do long distance relationship. I'm not gonna lie, our time we spent together was good but that's just it. She was so good in bed and I gave her back the favor. Pero hanggang doon na lang talaga iyon.

"You're such a heartbreaker, Hiro! You never really change." Clevon shut the car door and turn to me.

"It's not my fault if I can't give what they want from me." Before I bed those women, I always warned them that I can't give them a serious relationship. Umoo naman sila sa akin, pero matapos ang ilang araw ay maghahabol na lang sila sa akin. What can I say? I attract women.

"Pang ilan mo na ba yan? Ten? Twenty? O baka naman hindi mo na mabilang?"

"Hindi ko na mabilang." I simply said and went inside the car. Bumukas naman ang kabilang pinto ng kotse at pumasok si Clevon sa passenger seat. Nang maka sigurado akong wala na kaming nakalimutan ay sinimulan ko ng paandarin ang kotse.

"Hindi na ako magtataka kung may biglang kumatok na lang sa pinto ng bahay mo at magpapakilala na anak mo. Dinaig mo ba si James Bond. Wherever you go, you flirted with someone, and left them without second thoughts." I focused my attention on the road. Napapailing na rin ako nang ihalintulad ako ni Clevon kay James Bond— a film character who is well-known for being a spy and a notorious womanizer. I don't mind flirting with women, maybe I enjoy it a bit. They fall for my looks, I can't blame them.

"And thanks to dad, I have to stay here. That's why I texted her that I won't be seeing her anymore. Too bad she's really good in satisfying my needs." I grin. I told my dad that I wanted to adjust here first before he introduced me to everyone as the new CEO of his company. Mabuti na lang at pumayag ito.

"For sure, hindi ka mahihirapan na makahanap ng kapalit." Clevon said, sitting comfortably on the passenger seat. Tumingin ako sa kanya saglit, bago ituon ang atensiyon ko sa harap.

"I think I'll pass." From my peripheral vision, I saw his mouth widened in shock. Kahit ako ay nagulat din sa aking sarili.

"Wow! Tama ba itong naririnig ko? Hiro Stanislaski, the renowned playboy in the clan is refusing to flirt with someone?" Hindi makalaniwalang sabi ni Clevon.

"I will not mix business with pleasure. I'll focus to the company first and leave without a trace." That's the plan that I came up with a long contemplation last night. Hindi nga ako makatulog nang maayos nang malaman ko na ako ang magiging CEO ng kumpanya. But I came up with a good plan, thanks to my quick thinking and brilliant idea. I'll show up as the new CEO, work for six months, and when my dad no longer pay attention to me that's when I leave. Who knows when I'll come back. Maybe never.
