Don't Mess with the QUEEN(SLOW UPDATE)

Chapter Seventeen

Bishop

I wasn't expecting Mr. Sumner would know some information about me. Kaya pala bigla na lang syang pumayag na isama ako ni Ave sa dinner nila. What got me so confused was he was threatening me not to know anything about their family or else my family will suffer. Hindi nga sya nagbibiro. Something happened sa business ni dad sa US. He was even asking me to go home for a few days to help him but I told him that I'll fix it without leaving. It was already half a month nang magdinner ako sa bahay nina Ave. ipinatigil ko na din yung paghahanap ng information about kay Ave, thinking nab aka malaman pa ng dad ni Ave ang tungkol sakin. Looks like Ave's father didn't say anything about it or telling her to stay away from me since I can still receive text even calls from her. she was worried about me lalo na dun sa pinagusapan naming ng daddy nya. She was even thinking na tinakot ako ng dad nya para umiwas ako sa kanya. I think I need to call her or see her para di sya magalala. I already knew about what happened kay Lillianne, if you're asking kung sino na pumalit sakanya sa cheering team, hindi ko alam. I don't even care. Mas ok nay un na mabawasan ang mga katulad nya sa school. I was on my way to school nang magring ang phone ko. It's my dad...

"Yes dad."

"Son, did you know a man named Ferdinand Sumner?"

Bigla akong napapreno ng margining ko kay dad ang pangalan ng dad ni Ave. what is it this time? "No dad. Why? What happened?"

"Nothing, I was just curious about this man. He wanted to invest to one of our business. It was really a tempting offer since his very powerful and influential in business world. I just thought that you knew him. Sabi kasi ang representative nya na pumunta ditto sa office, kilala mo daw si mr. Sumner lalo na yung anak nila. Si.. "

"Hermione Aveline Sumner, yes dad I knew her. I just forgot. Nakapagdinner na ako sa bahay nila before. I just lost contact with his daughter, masyado kasi akong naging busy sa school."

"It's fine son. But please, make sure you'll get close to his daughter. It will be a big help to our company and who knows, he might decided to make a partnership with our company."

"Yeah, sure dad. Bye."

"Wait, son-."

I hang up on dad. Yes I know it was so rude. But I just don't want to talk to him. It's always like that. Every time we got a time to talk, it's always about business. And I know he was even thinking about our company to merge with the Sumner Corp. by me having a relationship with Ave. I must admit she was beautiful but I don't like her the way my dad thinks. Besides, ayoko ko naman na makasal dahil lang sa isang business proposal. I don't even care about our business. I can live on my own. Since that day happened, I promised to myself that I won't rely on anyone, that I will only trust myself and no one else. Nasa school campus na ako nang magring ulit ang phone ko. Di ko na tinignan ang caller ID at basta na lang sinagot yun.

"No, dad. I don't want to use my friendship with her just to make sure your alliance with them! It's your business and you should deal with it by yourself!"

"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

"Ave?"

"Yes, Bishop it me and not your dad."

"I'm sorry. Akala ko kasi si dad. Tinwagan nya kasi ako kanina about your dad."

"What? What about my dad? May ginwa ba sya sa daddy mo?"

"Okay, I shouldn't have said that. Anyway, everything is fine Ave. in fact your dad invested in my dad's company that's why he called me. Your dad's representative told him that I knew your dad through you."
