One Last Time

11 - C.E.O

.....

" Lee, how are you?" tanong ko sa kaklase kong si Lee . .He's an interpol, at marami itong koneksyon . Kasabay ko itong grumaduate ng MBA, pero kahit na nagtapos ito ng MBA, di nito iniwan ang pagiging interpol. And he's half Filipino and half Chinese

" Yes my princess, what is it that you need?"

" Ahm . .i need a favor"

" Meet me at Manila Pen, have a lunch with me tomorrow"

" ok ,fine!! see you " i rolled my eyes while answering him

He laughed out loud, before answering me
" I know you just rolled your eyes on me, my princess . .. I just missed you , that's why i wanna see you . . di mo na ako namiss?"

" shut up , Lee . . see you tomorrow!!"

" bye , pikon!! " he hanged up the phone right after he laughed . Close kami nito dahil kami lang ang may dugong pinoy nung mga panahong nag aaral kami sa US . He calls me princess at ako, tawag ko sa kanya Prince .. Mukhang prinsipe kasi ito eh .

I need his help, alam kong matutulungan ako nito para malaman ko kung sino ang may kagagawan nito sa Lolo ko.

I believe matagal na nitong minamanmanan ang galaw ni Lolo. Whoever shot him, napakakatapang at napakagaling nito, pagkat sa loob mismo ng resort namin nito ito binaril .

" Ms . Ash , tawag po kayo ng Lolo nyo, " si Martha

" ok .. im coming" sabi ko sabay pasok ng board room.

Three days had passed, mula ng nakalabas kami ng hospital, and true to Lolo's word, di na ako nito pinabalik pa ng Sitio Aragon, and i havent talked to Matteo since then.

And not talking to Matt, means im lost and im empty. I dont know why . . Ngayon, ang iniisip ko, paano ko sasabihin sa kanya ang pagkatao ko? will he accept me?

All managers and high-positioned Employees are gathered in our board room, today , Lolo will announce his retirement and my appointment as the Newest CEO .

And also today, ill be promoting some staff and demoting as well . A wicked smile escaped my lips . .

Humanda ka ngayon Amelia . . .

" ms. Ash, let's go?" tawag muli ni Martha sa akin

I smiled before walking with her

"Good afternoon everyone" i begin . I saw all of them gasped upong seeing me, I settled my eyes on Amelia who looked so shocked at me . I smirked before sitting down beside Lolo

" Everybody, i want you to meet the sole heir of Geronimo's Group of Companies, Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo "

I heard them gasped and some were even not blinking and just stares at me blankly

Hangang may isang nagsalita

" Magandang hapon po Ma'am, "

" Oh hi .. mukhang , nashocked kayong lahat ah . . Oh well , i need not to introduce myself anymore . Lets get down to business , now!!"

i saw how rattled they were nung bigla akong nagsalita . . Si lolo naman, napa iling na lang, pero nakangiti naman . .

"so, who will present first?" bigla kong tanong

" Hindi mo ba sila hahayaang ipakilala mga sarili nila??" biglang tanong ni Lolo

Tumingin naman ako sa direksyon nito bago nagsalita
" I've made my research on them already, no need for them to introduce themselves . . I know each of them, ultimo mga pinag gagawa nila" i even smirked after answering Lolo's question
