Chapter 5 - The First Step

Yvonne~

"So what now?" bungad na tanong sa'kin ni Arron, pagkaupong-pagkaupo ko sa swivel chair ng opisina ko, The CEO's office.

"I'll be going to attend college again" I informed.

"What?!" gulat na sigaw ni Arron.

"Don't shout. Hindi ako bingi", then I rolled my eyes.

"Tch. Eh bakit kasi kailangan mo pa mag-college uli? Eh 'di ba darating dito sa Pinas ang mga ka-gang mo? Pano sila?" he asked.

"Kailangan sunod-sunod ang tanong? Tch" I shrugged, "I'll be attending the University same as the Princes, I need to investigate more and stay close to them. Next answer is 'Yes, they're coming' and last answer is..." napasapo ako ng noo, "I don't know yet"

"Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko eh. Eh kung sinisimulan mo na kayang mag-isip" problemadong sagot ni Arron.

"Yeah, yeah... Whatever" tamad kong sagot.

He leaned closer and ask, "Anong balak mong kunin na course?" umakto siyang nag-iisip and he added, "Tanda ko pa yung balitang sinisiw mo lang ang college at masteral mo nun. Grabe, in three years, Masteral degree na ang hawak mo"

Yeah. I only took my College in two years while my Masteral degree was over a year. They said that I have a photographic memory and that made my IQ above from an average person.

"What can I say? I'm invincible" pagmamayabang ko.

"Sus, invincible daw... Wala namang plano sa pagdating ng gang niya, anu kaya 'yun?" sabi niya na agad kinanuot ng noo ko, "Pero anu nga? Anu ngang kukunin mong course?" he added.

"From what I've found, I can't take an IT course again. So, I guess... a Literature or Art course will do to stay neutral" I said.

He shrugged and looked at the ceiling, thinking twice for a suggestion to what I should take between the two choices.

"Well", he suddenly speak, "If that's the choices, I rather go for the Art Course", he faced me and added, "You know, mas madali pagdudahan ang mga nag-aala nerd na gangster these days"

I nod and replied, "I totally agree. Plus, a friend of mine can totally help me to cope up with the course. She took up Fine Arts and graduated as the Summa Cum Laude for their batch"

Kita sa mukha ni Arron ang pagtataka at nagtanong, "A friend? At kelan ka pa naging friendly ha, Von?"

Now, it's my turn to shrug. Augh, yeah whatever. Hindi naman kasi talaga ako friendly. A total snob or a cold bitch will be the greatest definition of a 'Maira Yvonne Davis-Johannson'.

"Tch. Actually, she's a friend of Rus. He introduced me to her, and then we became business partners, then Boom! We're friends" I said, sarcastically.

"Really? Ni Rus? You mean, the 'Rus'? Your -?"

"Shut up, Arron! I really don't have time for this shit" i rolled my eyes at him and turn the swivel chair facing the wide city view from the transparent glass interior of the building.

The Ivory tower was the tallest and extravagant building in the city. This is the most high-tech but eco-friendly tower designed and constructed by the finest architects and engineers around the world. The building was all off-white colored outside but a perfect ivory white inside... but in my office? Nah... It's a fiery, deep red in color mixed with wooden fixtures. Since my office is located at the top floor, it gives me the greatest view from up in here with my floor to ceiling glass window.
