Apples & Oranges

A&O 1

Irene's POV

Ma'am here's the additional documents that you need to sign pa po, and also around 2:30 pm later, you have to attend a board meeting. Napahagud nalang ako sa aking sintido, bukod sa maraming nakatambak na papeles infront of me, I still need to attend a meeting. Kasalan to ni kuya, may pa vacation leave, ako tuloy ang sumalo sa lahat ng pending works niya.

Thanks Joan, and also kindly get me some glass of water please. Utos ko sa aking secretary as I feel dehydrated, kaninang 7:30 am pa ako subsob dito sa office dahil sa daming paper works.

Coming up ma'am! Agad niyang response.

Then suddenly my phone rings. Sinagot ko ito without minding of who's calling.

Mommy!

Sigaw sa kabilang line. Napapikit pa ako as I distance my phone a bit.

Mommy hears you anak, no need to shout, I'm warning your manners, hmmmm? I warn but she just giggles.

Ooh I'm sorry po mommy, anyway Mawmaw fetch me from school earlier. Can I sleep in her place tonight?

No baby you have your classes tomorrow, besides you have no extra school uniform in lola's place. Susunduin nalang kita later okay? Para sabay tayong umuwi.

Then bring my school uniform nalang po mommy because I miss Mawmaw so much eh, let's sleep in her house nalang please.

Hay nako, di talaga nagpapatalo. Turan ko sa isip.

Fine, but you need to behave there. See you later my Cuppycakes! I love you!

I love you too my HoneyPie! Bye!

Napangiti nalang ako after the call, ang sweet ng anak ko.

.....................................

So are you suggesting us to sell some of our subsidiaries? I cutted Mr. Yee during our board meeting.

Probably that's where we go Ms. Marcos, whether we like it or not, this is the closest solution.

No! It's too risky Mr. Yee! I won't allow it! I disapproved.

If that's the case, then what's our plan? We can't just sit here and let everything crashes into pieces Ms. Marcos. Singit ni Mrs Santos.

We need creditors or investors that are willing to invest in our company. I suggested.

How can we do that? We have five months left before paying our longterm loan, saan tayo hahanap ng source? It's hard to find good financers these days. Pahayag ni Mr. Bernardo.

We can work on it, first thing we need to do is change our business proposals. I've read it, sadly walang ka dating-dating yung laman, obviously the most stupid and unattracted proposals I've encountered. Second, we can mortgage some of our investment properties to pay currently maturing obligations. Third, we can ask the bank for some grace period for extension. Lastly, everyone should work to find investors. Ngayon lang naman ang crisis nato since our products is new to the market, we need to enhance the quality and invest on advertising ads also. These are better ways than to risk our other subsidiaries. Mahaba kong pag explain sa lahat and napapaisip naman sila.

Deal! Let's try your suggestion but if ever di parin effective, we have no choice but to proceed on selling our subsidiaries. Komento ni Mr. Yee and everyone agrees.

Bumalik ako sa office na masakit ang ulo. Iniisip ko palang ang problema sa company, nakakawalang gana pero di ko ito pweding pabayaan, ito nalang ang naiwan sa amin ni daddy. I promised to my late father na ibabangon ko ang kompanyang nasimulan niya.
