ENDLESS JOURNEY OF LOVE

CHAPTER 4

Lezlhiana's

"E-Eljon?" gulat na gulat ko pang sabi. I can't believe this. Si Eljon Federo?

Ningitian niya lang ako at saka siya umupo. So bukod sa isang unpopular model, ultimate grandson pa siya ng isang billionaire investor sa New York na si Ray Stillson. This is so unbelievable. But still, im hoping a yes from him.

"As the proxy of Ray Stillson,..."

"...I disapprove."

After a few moments, nagdiwang ang ibang shareholders. Wth?! Ano bang problema nila kay Almira? I mean, she's a workaholic woman at hindi imposible na mapapatakbo niya ng maayos ang Rominita. I sudden realized na si Eljon ang only chance ko.

Late ko ng nalaman na lumabas na pala siya. I instantly stood up at saka siya hinabol. Hindi pa naman pala siya nakakalayo. "Eljon!" I yelled at lumingon naman siya. Infairness, ang tangkad niya kahit malayuan. Naglakad ako papalapit sa kanya.

"Mind drinking coffee with me?"

Coffee shop

"So, what do you want to talk about with me?" He said as he was done sipping the coffee that I ordered for him.

I clear my throat. "So, why did you disapprove earlier?" I ask him directly.

Bigla naman siyang tumawa ng mahina. "Actually.. payag naman si lolo. Ako lang ang hindi. Hindi pa nga alam ni lolo na dinisapprove ko si Almira for being a president."

"Ano?!"

"Pero it's okay. Since mahal naman ako ni Lolo, he always agree on my decisions."

"But why? Alam mo bang Almira has been serving to this company for 6 years? What's with the sudden disapprove?" I said in disbelief.

Napatawa nanaman siya. Naiinis ako ha. Kung pwede ko lang ibuhos sa kanya yung kape na iniinom niya kaso hindi pwede dahil ang laki ng role niya sa kumpanya ko.

"Alam mo Ms. Montes, I used to think that you are incredibly intelligent since you are just a fresh graduate of Manhattan College plus a previous graduate of a prestigious all-girls school, Cathedral High School in New York but it seems like mali ang akala ko." He calmly said. "Tanga-tanga ka pala."

Napahawak ako ng mahigpit sa baso ko. Just who does he think he is? Hindi porket proxy siya ni Ray Stillson ay basta-basta na niya ako sasabihan ng ganun-ganun lang. Hindi siya nakakatuwa.

"Isa lang naman ang dahilan nila kaya ayaw nila kay Almira. Yun ay hindi siya kasama sa bloodline ng Montes Family. But I have two reasons. First is, she's not part of the bloodline and second is, she didn't approach this company for business deals but rather for her personal reasons." He ended with his grin smile. "Doon ka nagsimula naging tanga."

He's ultimately wrong.

Ningitian ko siya. "Hindi ko rin alam kung sadyang bobo ka but I doubt. Una, isa ka lang model and im definitely sure wala kang alam sa business. Pangalawa, I don't mix personal life to my work. Wala akong pake kung lumapit siya for her personal reasons. Basta ang akin lang, I don't mix my personal life to these kind of situations. At Pangatlo, proxy ka lang and I don't care if you're the grandson of that billionaire investor. Sana naman, you're not using your grandfather's power for your own choice kasi pagdating sa business, we don't mix our personal life." I said at saka ko siya pinandilatan ng mata. "Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?"

He smile back. "Fine. We're going to watch how Almira work at doon tayo magtuos sa susunod na shareholder's meeting." He stood up from his seat. "Papanoorin ko rin... kung gaano ka tatanga-tanga." then he lastly flash his smile at saka siya umalis. That jerk! Tingnan natin kung hanggang saan ang kaya ng kayabangan niya.
