HMS 1: Caught In A Bad Romance

Chapter 12

"Meeting adjourned."

Checking my wrist watch. It's already 1:30, passed lunch already. Ang sabi hanggang one lang ang meeting pero umabot ng one thirty. Nauna na akong lumabas sa conference room at hindi na nagabala pang lumingon. Habang naglalakad ay nasa likuran ko lang ang secretary ko. Naglalakad kami pabalik sa office ko.

When we arrive I stop at my track. Before I open my door, humarap ako sa secretary ko. I gazed at her coldly. While she's standing professional in front me. Looking anywhere but me.

"Order us a food."

I'm not an asshole to let her buy my food but not including her's. She's very professional that's why I like her-not romantically tho. If I'm not mistaken she's a bread winner in her family. She has three younger brother and two younger sister. Her mom is a housewife and her dad is a tricycle driver. She did not finish college, she only finished second year. But it doesn't matter to me, hearing her story is enough to me to hire her. And I admire her for that.

Kahit sobrang hirap ng buhay ay natuto na siyang kumayod. Itinigil at isinakripisyo pa ang pag-aaral para lang matutustusan ang mga nakababatang kapatid. Kaya ng malaman ko ang storya ng buhay niya ang walang pagdadalawang isip ko siyang tinanggap sa trabaho.

No'ng una ay hindi talaga siya ang tatanggapin ko sa posisyon. But she begged to the HR to hired her because our company has the highest paid and a lot of benefits could get. She story tell her life that the HR pity her and reconsidered her whims. The HR even talk to me about that and I didn't think twice accepting her as my secretary.

"Where should I buy the food, sir?"

"Shale's Cuisine. Steak with mashed potatoes and Alfredo pasta. For the steak, make it medium rare. Order anything you like."

"Copy, sir."

I didn't bother replying to her and decided to go inside my office already. Once I settle down in my swivel chair I read some documents that I needed to approved and signed. After thirty minutes of waiting I heard a knock.

"Sir, may I came in? Your order is already here."

"Come in." I shortly replied using my baritone voice.

When she went inside the enticing smell of the steak and that she brought filled my nostrils. My stomach grumble and im glad that I can only hear it.

That would been embarrassing if my secretary heard it. She put it in my desk and immediately excuse herself. I just nodded my head in response.

After eating my late lunch I focus myself again to my work until my secretary came and reminded me my meeting in Villapez Hotel at four pm. It's 3:30 already so I prepare myself to leave again for the third and last time this day.

Villapez Hotel is one of the five star hotels around the world. They are admired not only for the beauty and cleanliness of their hotel, but also for the good service they provide to their customers. Kahit minsan ay walang naging issue sa hotel nila, kung meron naman ay nasusolosyonan agad ng mga Villapez. They are also good at handling the problem that their hotel face.

Kahit ako kapag nasa ibang bansa ay sa hotel nila ako nagb-book, although we had no connection with the hotel I can say that they are good in providing the customers need.

I can't deny that their hotel is indeed five star.

I already guess why the Villapez set up the meeting with me. No'ng isang buwan pa sila nagset ng meeting pero nasa isang bansa ako that time so I can't have time for it. My factory in Italy had a problem, not only mine. Some of the other factory too.

Some of the delivery got delayed because the others wine were caught by having an illegal drugs and the government blocked the shipping that was supposed to be brought to the Philippines. And that's what I took care of because the shipping of my wines got delayed too because they inspection ours too. Sobrang nagligpit ang gobyerno ng Italy dahil sa sunod sunod na pagkahuli ng illegal na droga sa bansa nila.

My factory in Italy was the largest factory I have so it affected the other countries I would deliver to. So that the reason why I spent a month in the country of Italy.

I looked at the girl seriously when I saw her walking towards my direction. I guess that's Ms. Clementine already. I looked at my watch and I raised my brow a little when I see that she arrives at exactly 4:00 pm.

I must say she's gorgeous, but she looks exactly like someone-I just can't pinpoint who. Lumapit ito at nakipagkamay sa 'kin.

Standing up to accept her hand, I smile a little.

"Hi, you must be Mr. Hakkien, nice too meet you. I'm Clementine Villapez Bronz. I'm the manager of the hotel. Please have a seat." I can feel the tension on me when she didn't let go of my hand immediately. Bahagya pa nitong pinisil ang kamay ko. Not minding that I have my secretary besides me.

"Satein Hakkien, and this is my secretary Ms. Natalie." She didn't even glance to my secretary and continue staring and drooling at me.

I looked straight at her eyes and I'm suddenly taken aback when I remember someones eyes in there-moaning and banging me.
