Jeanna really doesn't know what's going on with her. Hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi siya mapakali. Was it because of the three mugs of coffee she took for breakfast? Baka naman nagpapalpitate na siya? May nakalimutan ba siyang gawin?
Kababalik niya lang dito sa Pinas at siguro kaya hindi siya mapakali ay dahil namamahay siya. That can be a possible reason, right? Isa pa, sa unang linggo niya dito sa Pinas, naospital na siya agad at talaga namang pinag-alala niya nang sobra ang Kuya Jeno niya sa kagagahan niya.
It's not like she wanted to be hospitalized. It was because of the dumb bitch who messed with her and her assistant. Kung hindi sana bitchesa ang babaeng iyon, hindi sana niya kinailangang pag-alalahanin na naman ang lahat dahil sa mga nangyari. Plus, added to the fact that she really fought back with that bitch, her drink got drugged which would explain her further intoxication.
Damn bitches really be testing her limit when all she wanted to do was party.
Tapos nang magising pa siya ay ang Tita Kiera niya ang bumungad kasama ang kaibigan nitong nag-insist na tawagin niyang Tita Tania.
She remembers that she knows her Tita Kiera since they were kids. Sa bahay ng ginang tambay ang Kuya Jeno niya noon dahil kalaro at kaibigan nito ang mga Montelvaro. Hindi niya totally maaalala ang lahat ito ng sa sarili lang niya pero nabanggit na ito ng kuya niya.
They already lost their parents a long time ago, and it almost made her cry seeing a mother-figure right before her hospital. Though ipinaliwanag ng ginang sa kanya na ang anak nito ang dala sa kanya sa mismong ospital.
She doesn't know her son—ang dami naman kasi ng mga Montelvaro na magpipinsan at hindi niya naitanong kung sino ang anak nito doon.
Going back to her inner panicking, what was it again that's making her feel unease?
Wala naman siyang nakalimutan sa unit niya. Sigurado rin naman siyang napakain niya ang pusa niyang si Poochi. What else can she forget to make her this uneasy?
Hindi naman kaya may mangyayari sa kanya maya-maya lang?
"Ma'am Anna?"
"Ay butiki!" Napahawak pa siya sa dibdib niya sa gulat nang magsalita ang assitant niya. "Jillian naman!"
Natawa lang sa kanya ang dalaga. "Sorry, ma'am! Ang nerbiyosa niyo ngayon." Kinuha nito ang mug na pinag-inuman niya na naman ng pang-apat niya kape ngayong umaga. "Just want to inform you, ma'am, that our new business partner is already here."
"Shit." Napamura siya at kinapa ang sarili. "Do I even look ready? Fudge! Amoy kape ba ako?!"
Jillian giggles and nods. "You look stunning, ma'am, and yes you also smell coffee. Fresh coffee and macarons."
"Okay, good enough. Lalabas na rin ako."
Inayos niya muna ang sarili at inayos ang suot. May tiwala naman siya sa sinabi ng assistant niya pero kailangan niyang i-double check. This is a very important meeting.
These past months have been the busiest of her life and all she wants to do is give herself a break. Her business is going well and smooth, but the only problem was with her business partner. Wala namang nangyaring masama—nauna lang talaga itong magbakasyon sa kanya at sa isang tawag, ipinaalam nitong binenta na nito ang shares niya sa iba.
Of course, legally, that's not supposed to be allowed. She and his business partner should have had their conversation before this... but it is what it is.
Her rebranding of her chain of restaurants costed her like millions to begin with, and she couldn't do it on her own. That's why when she met Alexei Kyivan and offered her a partnership that is too good to be true, she throw herself to his mercy and prayed that he wasn't a scam. Alexei was far from being a scam and it's a plus that Henry knows him well. Iyon rin siguro talaga ang malaking dahilan kung bakit nagtake siya ng risk sa business partner niyang iyon.
