I'm not into love

Chapter 39 Confrontation

Nandito ako ngayon sa labas ng kumpanya ng pamilya ko.

'Moderno Corporation'

It's a company of new high tech gadgets.But actually originated from States.

The story goes like this...

We lived in New York back then.

Because...well..'dad' has American blood.

'Dad' and tito Marco (His bestfriend) had a company there in New York- The original 'Moderno Corp'.But one day someone burnt down the company in New York and Tito Marco died inside the building.

It was devastating.I was still young back then but  I'm 'that' smart  to know what's happening.The company cannot recover in New York and my dad was grieving for tito's death.Investors of the company left him too because the company's literally gone.The building,I mean.It got burned all the way.

But one loyal investor stayed and offered him a great deal.It was Uncle Zayn.He's old already but has lots of money.He told dad that he will help him reestablish the company only if he would do it in the Philippines.

Uncle Zayn's a pure Filipino and He loved the Philippines to the core.Knowing that my dad's half Filipino and my mother too,He got very comfortable with them.He trusts them.

Dad does not have anything to complain about.He accepted it and together they rebuilt 'Moderno Corporation' . And here it is now.I've got to admit,they did well.

The company's big,actually.

No,erase that.

It is HUGE!

I almost forgot how it looked like in years!Ngayon na lang uli ako nakabalik dito.

But I just went here to see him.Dad,I mean.

I actually sticked to calling him that.He's the one who raised me afterall.

And  well..I really need to talk to him  bago siya pumunta sa Paris for his business meeting with someone.I don't know who and I don't really care.

Siya lang naman ang pinunta ko dito at hindi ang kumpanya o kung sino man.

Pagpasok ko sa company at dumiretso ako sa elevator.There's no need to waste time.

Tinanong ng elevator lady kung saang floor ako.

When I told her the floor where my dad's office is, she looked confused.

"You have an appointment with Mr.Lopez,Ma'am?" para tumahimik siya ay tumango na lang ako .

*Ting*

Pagkalabas ko ng elevator diretso ako sa office niya kaso may nakaharang.

"Yes ma'am?" I bet this is his secretary.

"I have to see someone inside" not really wanting to talk furthermore.

"Do you have an appointment with Mr.Lopez ma'am?" tumango ako.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I don't remember him having any appointments today.Perhaps you're mistaken ma'am.You can come back if you have a real appointment with sir already."

Imbes na umalis nagstay ako at maspumilit na pumasok.

"ma'am I told you...hindi nga po talaga pwedeng pumasok.Mahigpit na pinagbabawal ni sir na magpapasok ng kung sino man .Please just leave ma'am bumalik na lang kayo pag may appointment na kayo sa kanya .Please ma'am...before I call the guards."

Is she threatening me?

Well ..two can play this game.

"wala akong pakielam.Just move out of the way already,dammit!I said move!Ano ba?!hindi mo ba ako kilala?" I have no choice.Baka kailanganin ko pa talagang sabihin sa kanya kung sino ako.
