Chapter 9

~Clark's POV~

Time to work, this is my third day here in the Philippines. I preparing myself for work, I just went out from the bathroom and now I'm standing here at my closet checking the best three piece suit that I will wear. I need to look presentable because today is the presentation of our restaurant to the board member. This is not only for the restaurant, this is also the test to impress the board. I know they have doubts on me because they thought that I just a happy go lucky guy but today I will prove myself to them.

-knock-knock-knock-

"Hijo!" tawag sa akin at alam ko si Manang iyon.
"Ano po iyon?" Sigaw ko habang tinutupi ang polo ko.
"Pinapatawag ka na ng mommy mo para mag-almusal." Saad nito.
"Sige po bababa na po ako." Sinuot ko na ang coat ko at inayos. Kinuha ko na ang bag, laptop at mga papeles na kakailanganin ko para sa presentasyon ko.

Pagkatapos kong tingnan ang sarili ko sa salamin ay agad na akong lumabas at bumaba. Nakita ko agad sina Dad at Mom.
"Good morning mom, dad." Bati ko, humalik ako kay mom.
"Good morning din anak." Sabah nilang sabi, umupo na ako sa upuan ko at kumuha ng pagkain.
"Anak ngayong araw ang presentation mo right? How is te preparation? " sabi ni dad habang humihigop ng kape while looking at me.
"It's fine Dad, I know I can impress the board to my presentation. " saad ko habang hinahalo ang kape ko.
"That's the spirit anak. I know you can make it." Ngiting saad niya.
"By the way anak wala ka bang ipapakilalang girlfriend sa amin?" Ngiting tanong ni Mom, I know she excited to meet my girlfriend. Ang huling napakilala ko sa kanya ay si Nicole. She was sad when she knew that Nicole break up with me.
"Sorry mom but their is no one with me." I'm pertaining to a special girl.
"Oh I hope I can meet your special someone soon." Pinisil ni mom ang kamay ko at ningitian ko siya.

After the breakfast ay agad akong umalis dahil magmemeet kami nila Dave bago magpresent. Kaylangan nandun sila dahil kapag umok ang presentation namin ay may pirmahan and that's the time that they have their shares on our company. Kasi pagnagkapirmahan ay magbubukas ng opurtunidad na maopen ang isa pang company that with will focus on supplying and distribution of imported wines.

"Clark dito." Sigaw ni Dave ng nakaapak na ako sa loob ng building.
"So how the other preparation?" Tanong ko habang naglalakad kasama si Dave papunta sa conference room kung saan kami magprepresent.
"Ayos na natapos ni Vic ng power presentation. Alex prepared the other documentation na ibibigay niya sa mga board members." Pag-uupdate ni Dave.
"That's good." Ngiting saad ko.

After a hour of preparing dumating ang noard members at syempre kasama si Dad. Seryosong silang umupo sa kanikanilang upuan. After a minute we present our proposal to them, they serious on listening to our pressntation and after that one of the member of the board ask a question.

"I think there's no effect if we approve on building your restaurant on our hotels." Sabi ng isang board members.
"As I said our restaurant is famous all over the states and I know Filipinos will also like it and even foreigners. So we think it's targeting our local and international market in the same time." I explained.
"I'm still not convinced. You also said that if we approve your proposal it is will break through to you to open a new business that our hotels will also benefit for it." I think I need to tell them my plan.
"Yes your correct. I with my friends are planing to open a new business and that business will benefit our company. We planning to be a supplier and distributor of imported wines. We also plan to make a factory." Pagpapaliwanag ko, lahat ng board members ay nagtinginan at nag-uusap usap.
"Wine? Ang alam ko wala kayong alam sa field na yan." Di ko alam pero parang nang iinsulto ang dating ng pagkakasabi niya.
"Yes your correct, we don't have any experience on that kind of field but we are planning to have partnership with the famouse wine company in the world, the Barcilio. " nung nabanggit ko ang pangalan ng Barcilio ay agad silang nag-uusap usap. Alam ko na kilala nila ang kompanyang yun dahil nagsusupply sila ng prima klaseng alak at sila ang pinakamalaking kompanya ng alak sa buong mundo.
"How can you guarantee that you will have the partnership with Barcilio? " tanong ng isa pang board member.
"I heard that they planning to build a branch here in the Philippines, right now we are setting a meeting with the CEO of the company." Confident kong sagot.
"I heard that the CEO of Barcilio is so private. Everyone does not know his or her identify, even the gender. How do you know the identity of the CEO of the Barcilio? " one member of the board curiously ask.
"One of my friend is staying in Spain and apparently he know and met the CEO but he said he can not reveal the identity of the CEO of Barcilio because he or she wants to make it private." I explained.
