Dirty Games With The Billionaire

Chapter 17

Leonariz

"We managed to resolve the case, Mr. Jimenez. We have identified the problem with the affected unit and it's suspicious but the team are investigating more to make sure. Uhm and also, Mr. Jimenez, all Avarrari Z3 are currently being checked as per your instructions po. The Engineering and Design Department, along with the Safety and Compliance Department and other teams, are ensuring that all units are free from any dangers and will not negatively impact the company's reputation again."

I'm in an important meeting today with various departments, discussing the issue my company is facing. The Avarrari Z3 is the unit that suddenly encountered problems. It's a new series of my zero-emission eco-friendly car, and this is the most serious problem I've encountered in all my years due to its explosion. At kung iisa lang ang nagkaproblema ay maaaring may gusto lang manira sa akin na tao.

"Nag-email rin po ako sa inyo, Mr. Jimenez. Sinend ko po ang mga files at photos ng ginawang imbestigasyon sa Z3 four days ago, pero mukhang masyado kayong abala. Narito po ang folder; kinompile ko na po dito ang lahat," Engineer Ericson pushed the folder a little to my side. I took it and examined each document inside.

"Since the other departments are still checking for any signs of similar defects, nagpe-prepare naman na rin po kami ng communication plan in cased na ilabas po ito in public at magreklamo ang may-ari," Ledesma, the Head of Public Relations, said.

I nodded. I didn't have anything more to say since everything that needed to be done was already taken care of, and I didn't see or hear anything wrong that I needed to mention.

"May iba pa bang problema?" tanong ko.

"Bukod po dito, wala na po, Mr. Jimenez. We are just waiting for your approval to proceed."

After I heard that, I dismissed them. Naiwan akong mag-isa sa conference room habang hinihimas ang sintido ko.

I really have a huge trust in my people inside my company. Kung sino ang mga kaharap ko kanina ay sila rin ang mga taong kinuha ko noong bago pa lang ang Vallano. At sa tiwala rin na 'yon ay minsan hindi na ako masyadong nagbibigay ng komento dahil malinis at maayos silang magtrabaho. But, Damn. I was too busy in other thing things and forgot about dealing with this fckng problem in my company. At hindi ako ganito na nagpapabaya sa problema ng kumpanya.

"That woman has made me do nothing in my company for the past week," napailing ako.

I was watching Arazella Fhatima from afar. I had become her stalker, for damn's sake. After what happened at her house and her begging me to stay away from her, I didn't really do that. I just stopped sending her flowers and gifts, but I didn't actually stop watching her.

My desire for her just grew stronger and my wild dreams are getting wilder each night.

"Aahh. And what she did made me want to chase her. I also like how she looks around nervously, as if she knows I'm near."

But I felt like this time she will push me hard if I ever get near her again. Na gagawin na niya ang lahat para lang hindi ko malapitan, mahawakan at mahalikan. Damn. It's been a week, and I'm craving to taste her lips again.

Sa mga nakalipas na araw rin ay nakita ko na masaya siya talaga kay Lander, at naramdaman ko na totoo ang sinabi niyang mahal niya ang kapatid ko sa kabila ng nangyari sa amin. But there's a part of me that doesn't want to let her go, and I know it's my intense desire for her. Aside from that, my mind also keeps insisting that she isn't the right for my brother because a decent woman wouldn't kiss another man if she was already in love and committed to someone.

But aren't you the devil grasping her in your hands and blackmailing her, Leonariz?

Napangisi ako.
