His Match

Prologue

* Meet Her *

She's Laira Mae Hanson or simply "Elle"; the all time raketera. Halos lahat ng trabaho ay pinasok na nya para lang may pangastos and pampaaral sa nakababatang kapatid . Sya ay isang babaeng walang pakialam sa mundo, hindi naman sa wala talaga syang pakialam, sya lang yung tipo na wala lang, wala lang talaga. Ang nasa isip kasi nya ay kailangan nya pang mapag aral ang nakababatang kapatid nya. Pero, may pangyayaring hindi inaasahan. Dahil sa pagiging matulungin at pagkamaawain na kamo, ay tinulungan nya ang isang matanda na bagong salta sa Maynila.

* Meet Him *

" Congratulations Mr. Williams!" bati sa akin ni Ninong Auston, the corporate lawyer of LK Company.
I gladly accepted his handshake, pati na din ang pagbati ng mga kasamahan nya.
Mayamaya pa ay nagpaalam na ang grupo nila. Hindi na din ako nagtagal pa at pagkatapos bigyan ng instruction si Andrew, my secretary, about sa naganap na pirmahan ng kontrata. I headed out of the Ahsia, one of the branches of Williams Empire that my Lolo's managing. Kinuha ko ang susi ko sa valet, I'm going back to my office. It's already 6:30 pm at malapit ng mag uwian ang mga empleyado.
But 1st thing first as a businessman.

........

I parked my car at the front of my building and give the key to the valet and walked straight to my private elevator, ignoring the greetings of my employee. Imbis na sa office ko sa 40th floor ako pumunta, sa 22th floor ako dumeretso.

I was greeted by my employee when I entered the 22th floor and I felt that the atmosphere suddenly becomes tensed.
Nakasalubong ko ang pakay ko na si Mr. Ramos. He looks bothered.

"G-G-Good Evening Sir. T-This is the annual financial report of LK. I w-was about to take this in your office"

Tinignan ko ang binigay nyang folder.

"Really? Last wednesday ko pa ito hinihintay Mr. Ramos, you know that I hate late reports"

"Im s-sorry sir. Kailangan ko pa po kasi syang ireview ng maayos before I give it to you."

I didn't answer and stared at him seriously.
"Mr. Ramos, you're fired." At iniwan ko na sya.

Nang makabawi sya sa pagkagulat ay saka pa lamang nya ako hinabol.

"B-But sir, you can't fire me just because of that. T-That's unfair!"

"You know that I don't easily fire an employee like that Mr. Ramos, I terminate cheats." I give him a weak smile and went to my office.

Ofcourse, wala akong kwentang boss kung iteterminate ko lang sya basta just because late sya nagpasa ng reports, Im not that irrational, I fired him because I've found out that Mr. Ramos commits a crime at my company, nagdidispalko sya ng pera sa company ko, and as a business man, I can't tolerate that.

I lose my tie at nagsalin ng alak sa bar counter. At the aged of 25 ang dami ko ng naclose na deal. I'm a billionaire.
Nagbalik tanaw ako sa mga pangyayari sa araw na ito.

First, I closed a multi-million dollar deal with a well-known company over dinner.
Second, I fired an employee.

And the result of all that?

Another huge money in my bank account, admiration from women who will knew that I'm a billionaire, Anger from my ex- employee. But the fuck I care! Business is business. All I care about is the success of the Empire. I picked up my phone and dial someone's number.

"Where is he?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you Sir but I don't know where he goes. My lead ends at the mansion."

"Do your fucking job!!" I shouted at him

"Yes si-"I ended up the fucking call. With the thought of Just where the hell did you go?!
