It's been 2 years since I work here in my parents company, I didn't consider as ours from now on because I have my own business to build on.

Malapit ko ng makamit yung goal ko and I can't wait.

Ako na ang namamahala ng company namin ay pasimple akong kumukuha ng investor sa aking business, well sinigurado kong hindi nhila malalaman yon.

Konting tiis nalang.

Papasok ako ngayon at dumaan muna ako sa coffee shop na malapit sa company namin.

Paglapit ko sa counter ay umorder na ako.

"Good morning, Ma'am. Welcome to the Nowhere coffee, what's your order Ma'am?" Masayang bati sakin ng barista.

"One Caramel latte" ani ko.

"What's your name, Ma'am?" she asked for my coffee cup.

"Fio" I said my nickname.

"Okay, Ma'am. Please wait for a minute, thank you Ma'am Fio!"

Pagkatapos kong umorder ay umupo muna ako sa isang bakanteng table para hintayin yung inorder kong coffee.

Ilang minutes ay tinawag narin ang name ko.

"Caramel latte for Ma'am Fio!" Tawag sakin ng barista.

Pumunta na ako sa counter upang kunin ang aking coffee at may tinawag ulit sila na pangalan.

"Americano coffee for Sir Kyron!" Tawag ng barista at lumapit nadin ang lalaki.

Ngunit pag lingon ko ay sa hindi inahasaang pangyayari ay natapon ang coffee ko sakin dahil sa pagkaka bangga niya sa akin.

"Omg, yung damit ko!" gulat kong sigaw at tiningnan ang lalaki na naka bangga sakin.

He's in his blue dark polo, I mean a corporation attire. Handsome, tall, korean hairstyle, white skin like me and most of all nakakairita siya dahil na smirk pa siya sa akin!

"That's not my fault kung hindi ka tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo" he sarcastically said. My jaw dropped to what he said! How dare him!

"Really? That's your fault because you saw me that I'm about to go na!" I grinned my teeth dahil sa inis.

He chuckled a bit, before he talked to me.

"Still your fault kung tiningnan mo sana ang dinadaanan mo edi sana hindi sayo natapon yung coffee mo diba?" He smirked said. Sa inis ko ay hindi ko nalang siya binigyang pansin dahil wala rin namang patutunguan kung magtatalo pa kami at baka ma late lang ako sa work ko.

Binigyan ako ng tissue ng mga staff at pinunasan ko ang aking damit na may coffee stain na, what a lucky day!

Tiningnan ko siya ng masama bago lumabas at dumiretsyo sa car ko.

It's okay I can change my clothes later at the company.

Hindi ko nalang pinansin muna ang coffee stain sa aking dami at nagmaneho na ako sa company ng parents ko. Doon ko nalang aayusin total may mga damit naman ako don incase of this accident.

Pagdating ko sa office ko ay sinalubong agad ako ng aking secretary.

"Ms. Hollis, ano pong nangyati dyan?" gulat na tanong sa akin ni Mark ang secretary.

"Natapunan ng coffee yung damit ko, magpapalit muna ako then I call you to ask my schedule for today" mahinanon kong sabi.

"Okay po, Ms. Hollis" tugon niya.

I change my clothes into a brown corporation attire. Pagkatapos ko ay tinawag ko na si Mark.

Naka upo ako sa office ko ng kumatok si Mark.

"Come in"

"Ms. Hollis, your schedule for today is 10am meeting with Mr. Waston, 1pm meeting with Mrs. Garcia and 3pm meeting with your engineer" what he mean is engineer sa papagawa kong building for my business. Mapagkakatiwalaan ko siya kaya alam niya rin ang bago kong pinapagawa na company.

"Okay" maikli kong sagot.

Habang hinihintay ko ang oras ng una kong meeting ay tiningnan ko ang report sa sales ng business ng parents ko.

Nakikita kong bumababa ito dahil sa kagagawa ko. Walang iba kung hindi ay sinisiraan ko ang business nila. They don't know anything dahil ibang report ang pinakita ko sakanila, gumagawa ako ng fake report at makatotohan para hindi sila magtaka.

Someone knock my door at alam kong si Mark iyon dahil oras na ng meeting ko kay Mr. Waston.

Pagdating namin sa restaurant ay wala pa si Mr. Waston, it means were early and that's good. Ayon ang pinaka important in business, It's better than early than late.

Pagdating ni Mr. Waston ay tumayo ako at binati siya.

"Good morning Mr. Waston"

"Good morning Ms. Hollis, your early as expected"

"Of course, Mr. Waston. I don't want to wait you, please sit down first"

"You're very thoughtful Ms. Hollis, Let's start the meeting because after this I have some errands to attend to." he said bago siya umupo.

"So Mr. Waston I''ll gonna straight to the point. I want you to invest to my business"

"Convince me" I saw a little smirked on his face.

"Incase you forget to what I've done to your business Mr. Waston but still I'm gonna convince you. Let say that my business could have a big help to your business too"

"What is your business?" he asked.

"You know how I love architecture Mr. Waston. You witnessed how I handle your new building and help your team with in" I answered.

"Of course I do, I expected that already but still I want to know from you"

" So the collaboration of engineering and architecture in this industry will excite the investors and I know they would because I said so. You know how I work Mr. Waston, I value my principle and sincerity to my work. I have an inclusive plan but I'm not gonna spill it yet" pag convince ko sa kanya.

"It's win-win situation Mr. Waston so deal or still deal?" Dagdag ko.

"Do I have a choice Ms. Hollis?" he sarcastically said.

"Of course you do to invest to my company" I nonchalant said.

"You're very smart at the very beginning Ms. Hollis, so deal" I smirked to what he said.

Pagtapos ay nag hiwalay na kami ng landas dahil parehas kaming maraming errands for today.

This is just the beginning and I know that I can do this.

Palayo pa pero malayo na.
