Cinderella was Gone

CHAPTER 5 - White Lotus

*RECAP*

"Are you saying that the Gustav empire didn't withdraw all their investment and partnership to Ramirez Corporation?" Angelic Face questioned me, her face full of justice for her friend.

So that's it, I mockingly smiled. That's her true goal.

Gustav Empire's withdrawal from Ramirez Corporation is completely different from posting Kayla's sex scandal. So this is how she wants to play? very good! What angelic face? She is simply two-faced, all right!

I didn't know I had two mice to catch.

Do they really think I am a pushover?

=-==-===--==-=-

"The Gustav Empire withdraws its investment and partnership with Ramirez Corporation, but so what?" nakataas ang kilay na sabi ko, "We can afford it." I slightly bend my knees so I can clearly see Kayla and Ms. Two-face expressions "Revoking a contract is nothing. Worst come to worst, paying for the casualties it may cause is a lot of work, but it can't be helped. "

"It can't be helped." mahinang pag-uuli ni Ms. Two Face sa sinabi ko, "Hindi mo ba naisip na maraming tao ang mawawalan ng trabaho just because of your arrogance?" sumisigaw nanaman sya and this time, may luha nang gumuhit sa kanyang pisnge.

"Marvelous" tumawa ako "Are you an actress? What persona are you aiming for? Virgin Mary? a good Samaritan or a white Lotus persona? "

"Are you saying I'm acting?" Umiiyak na tanong ni Ms. Two-face

"Do I think you are acting? Oh, are you not? Your crying is so beautiful that it makes me want to sit down and want to watch it from the front row. "Pumalapak ako ng isang beses "Chair please!" I asked no one in particular, expecting July, Jenna, or Trixie to bring me a chair, but to my surprise, someone else did.

Tiningnan ko ang isang lalaki na walang ingay at dahan-dahan inalalayan ako sa pag-upo. Tumaas ang kilay ko at tumingin sa paligid.

Doon ay nakita ko rin na nakatayo malapit sa pintuan si Patrick, my Dad's secretary, at sa likod niya ay mga naka-uniform workers.

"Don't you think you are being too unreasonable, Ms. Gustav?"

"Bumalik ang atensyon ko kay Ms. Two Face upgraded to being Ms. White Lotus."

"Just because you hate Kayla"

"Excuse me?" Hindi makapaniwalang pagpuputol ko sa pasasalita niya while crossing my legs "Who told you that I hate Kayla?" Tumingin ako kay Kayla "She is nothing to me."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"No you." binalik ko ang tingin ko kay White lotus "Why are you doing this? So what if Ramirez Corp. declares bankruptcy? What is it up to you?"

"Kayla is my friend!" taas noong sagot niya sa akin.

Friend

Napatigil ako dahil parang may maliit na boses ang paulit-ulit na binabanggit sa isipan ko ang salitang binitawan niya

"She's my friend, and it pains me to see her miserable. Because of your arrogance, lots of people will go home jobless. Because of your selfishness, a happy family is now facing a crisis. Just because of you, my friend Kayla's future and reputation are now destroyed!!"

Dahil sa mga salita niya ay muli nanamang sumigaw si Kayla at parang nababaliw na gusto akong saktan. Tumakbo siya palapit sa akin pero pinigilan siya ng lalaki.

Huminga ako ng malalim at pilit na binubura sa aking isipan ang maliit na boses na iyon.

"Gustav Empire revokes the contract with the Ramirez Company, It's not my Miss sole decision, it's the board unanimous decision." Isang malalim at seryosong boses ang narinig sa baking room.
