Seafarer Escapade 6: Rowan Morales

Chapter 39

I took my son to school the following day to express my apology to the principal and the teacher I had yelled at yesterday. I think anyone parent would likely be upset if that also happened to their child.

Fortunately, the teacher and the principal understood what I did. They apologize again and assured me that the incident will not happened again. I also told Oswell's nanny to go to school earlier so that it doesn't happen again. I know I overdid something yesterday and somehow I feel guilty about that.

People were whispering did not pass by my ear as I entered the company. Since I was presumably the only person they were reffering to, I just chose to ignore them.

Well, I understand if they keep talking behind me. I can't stop them from chattering the fact that I am only the head department of the marketing analytics and insights--- and now the new COO of the company---the second highest position in the organization.

"Ms. Trina, may bisita po kayo sa office nyo." Napakamot pa sa Riza sa kanyang buhok mukhang problemado sya.

"I thought I don't have any appoinment." I asked her

She didn't answer me instead she just smile halfly then he pointed her hand on my office, telling me that I should look for myself.

I just nodded with a half smile then I open the door of my office. I suddenly help my breath as I saw Rowan on my chair. Prente syang naka upo at hindi man lang ako tinapunan ng tingin kahit narinig na mag bukas ang pinto.

I swallowed hard as I close the door slowy. He's playing with the nameplate on my table while he is staring at it.

"Rowan, what are you doing here?" I can't help myself but ask him

He lifted his head on me. "Do you like your name here?"

I licked my lips as he pertaining on the nameplate on my table.

"So you're already the major shareholder of the company?"

I know he is mocking me, iniisip nyang galing iyon sa pamilya nya.

Well. Totoo naman at hindi ko iyon itatanggi.

"I have shares too, in case you were unaware." He said proudly then he walk slowly toward me.

I don't know if he's telling the truth but, I really don't mind if he has shares in the company.

"Okay." I smiled halfly. "What do you want?"

Nagbago ang expression ng mukha nya tila hindi nagustuhan ang inakto ko.

"Did you manipulate my parent so you can have this?" He said firmly.

Huminga ako ng malalim at malumanay syang tiningnan. Umiling ako bilang sagot.

Now I know na nagpunta sya dito para paratangan lang ako.

Wala naman akong magagawa dahil may kasalanan din ako sakanya. All I can do is to accept all his insults.

"I wondered how you-----

He stopped suddenly, then his face now has disgusted looks in me.

I swallowed hard and hoping that he won't go there on what he's thinking right now.
