TUMANGO AKO. Tahimik na sumunod sa kanya sa loob. Sa lugar kung saan una ko siyang pinag-akalaang mamatay tao. May pinindot siya sa gilid ng pinto. The mini library set on the side moved, he entered it. I followed yet my eyes wonder around. There's a private elevator. All the walls were made of mirror. In front I caught him watching me.
Nakapasok na ba si Cleo rito? Saan niya ako dadalhin?
Rumors from the employees once again flooded in my head. What if he is going to bring me to his secret room? The place where he hid his ritual of killing? Beads of sweat form on my forehead, I can't tear my eyes with him. They were innocent yet had a curse. If I look away that was his hint, he will stab me.
Isang araw nalang, Farah! Tiis lang. I composed myself and followed him when he stepped out from the open door. A sleek black car welcomed my sight. No, actually it is blocking our way. Or maybe be owned it?
A man in a black suit appeared from my back. His movements were quick and silent as he opened the door for the Boss. He entered inside arrogantly. I was expecting him to shut the door close but he didn't. Instead, he gave me a domineering gaze.
"What are you waiting for?"
Tumango ako. Nag-alangan kung sa harap ba ako sasakay o sa tabi niya. Nahuli niya ako kung saan nakatingin kaya nagpawala siya nang malalim na paghinga.
"Sit beside me, Farah."
Nagmadali ako sa pag-ikot at pagsakay. I saw the man earlier sat on the driver seat. Okay, I thought he's a bodyguard.
"At the main," Boss whispered and the car moved.
I am recalling what could be the name of the scent they use for this car until I saw him pressed something on the backrest back frame and a zipper unlocked. He took the rectangular shape and it appeared laptop, hiding the logo of a bitten apple. Everything was quick, his fingers familiarize the keyboard. No, I think they are a best friend. On the screen, pure black— lots of box and numerous numbers.
Anong ginagawa niya?
"Sir, kompleto na po ang board," the man in front murmured.
Hindi siya sumagot, kaya nagkatinginan kami noong lalaki mula sa rearview mirror. Ngunit mas naagaw ng aking atensyon ang tower na pupuntahan namin. Sun of Vergina? The car headed on the VIP parking space. When we stop, Boss is very quick. He closed his laptop and now busy on dialing through his phone.
"Zace, assist my secretary inside. I will follow."
"Yes, Sir!"
Before I shut the door, I heard him mentioned the name, Traviz.
"Saan po ba tayo pupunta?" Nahihiwagaan kasi ako sa lakad na ito. Sana sabihan naman nila ako para aware ako hindi ba?
"Board meeting."
