LN EMPIRE
S I B Y L F R A N C H E T T E
A one hot sunny day, a good start to my monthly visit in our company. The weather is fine, and the breeze is hot, it penetrates my pale skin. I guess i will not be on team Z this time, a little bit of tan might ware off my white skin. But my so called monster-poker/face will still be the same.
Walking towards the double glass doors of Empire, it's transparency make everyone gone mad. Seriously, hindi naman ako nangangagat. But why all of the sudden, whenever I walk pass by them. They'll become stiff and pale. Wala naman akong dala dalang sakit.
"Welcome Madame" nakahelera silang lahat. All of them looks down, well except for those who does'nt know me. And the visitors as well.
Nod is the only thing i respond to them. I walk straight ahead, nakikita ko sa gilid ang mga chismisan. Mostly praises or plain gossips. Maraming nag tataka kung bakit bata pa ang tinaguriang CEO ng LN, and as well as my identity.
Whenever i visit my company only the trusted board members are allowed to see my full face. Palagi nalang kase akong nag s-shades ng malaki.
Well it's not the right time for me to reveal my identity.
20'th floor located the private conference room for us. Ang ibang board members ay kasali sa pamilya namin. Le Noir is one hell of a big clan.
"Are they ready?"
"Yes ma'am, your aunt Gracie might be late. May schedule din kase sya sa monthly check up nya" my secretary-Shanelyn.
After the elevator stopped at the right floor. Aligaga parin ang mga taong nakakasalubong ko. We stopped at a huge door, Shanelyn opened it for me.
I was greeted by my broad members. Tinanggal ko na ang shades ko at pumwesto sa upuan na nakalaan para saakin.
"Let's start" when it comes to business I need to be professional. Whether it's my family-no exception. My dad used to tell me when you want them to respect you as a superior show them no fear, even towards me.
Nag simula ng mag discuss about the current state of our company. As I understood it no doubt, we're still at the top.
Nabaling ang topic ng pag pag-uusap tungol sa official announcement of me being the rightful owner of Empire.
"No, may tamang panahon para dyan. As you all now, i'm still currently finishing my degree. Ayokong pag pyestahan nilang ang isang batang nagpapatakbo ng isang malaking kompanya" there's a right time for that matters, me and dad discussed about this. Revealing my identity will wreck the plans.
"Your dad retired at a very young age my dear. I don't know what's going on, but since you handled the company. It's income tripled, i wonder why you wouldn't allow other to know the whose the girl in a big fat shades. You are the reason why Empire shines the brightest"
"I humbly thank you for that wonderful complement. But my decision won't change" ani ko na ikinalungkot nila.
"Sibyl dear, i was wondering why did you invest in Ferruno Corporation?" Aunt Gracie na kasalukuyang kumakain ng orange. Nabaling ang attension ng board sa kanya.
"Ferruno? The wine company? I must say it has a potential. Pero wala naman silang representative na pinadala para kitain ang Board. What piqued your interest in them Fan Fan?"
