" Sometimes you need to wear a mask in order to avoid getting hurt because getting hurt sucks. "

" Good morning Ma'am. " they greet me as I made my way to my office at tango lang ang isinukli ko.
Pagkarating ko sa office ko ay nag-aalangang lumapit sa akin.
" M..ma'am ah... t-the board... " I cut her off.
" You know Ms. Clarkston I am in a bad right now. I didn't get to sleep last night. I'm not here to guess anything you'll say and I didn't hire you to just stutter like a freak. For christ sake! Just get to the fucking point. " I saw her stiffened.
In this world of business there is no such thing as mercy. People in this business sure is evil and I shouldn't let my guard down knowing people might use this as my weakness. Sa mundong ito, iba ako. I don't mix my personal matter in business that is my motto and breaking it is the last thing I want to do.
The kind and selfless Nicole is evil when it comes to business. Isa sa mga tinuro sa akin ni Ken for the past 2 years is that don't let anyone see your weakness because they'll use it and make you suffer. So I should just held my head high because people in this business would love to see me fall and I won't gave them the satisfaction.
Sa 2 years na paghahandle ko dito hindi ko pa nakukuha ang tiwala ng ibang mga board members but I know I have the loyalty of half of them.
" You will speak or I'll fire you. It's not like I'll eat you. " huminga siya ng malalim at tumingin sa akin.
" I'm sorry Ms. Faeroe but the board members are having a meeting without you. " nakuyom ko ang kamao ko.
" Who held a meeting? " pigil sa galit na saad ko.
" Mr. Fujiyama Madam. " natawa ako.
" That old hag? " tumango naman siya sa akin.
" You can go. " wika ko and dial my investigator's number.
" Mr. Kol Fujiyama. Backgrounds, family, illegal transactions at lahat ng baho niya. " I said then hung up.
Next I dial Ethan's number. Nagkita kami a month ago and I didn't talk to him about Hayley's baby. We just merely hang out.
" Ethan? "
" Nicole? Napatawag ka? "
" Dun sa sinabi mong pwede akong tumawag kapag hihingi ako ng tulong. " I heard him chuckled.
" Oh yes. What? May problema ka ba? "
" It's not really but can you do me a favor? "
" Anything. "
He said that made me smile. Now, Mr. Fujiyama you won't like to be my enemy.
After the talk with Ethan, I made my way to the conference room interrupting their so called meeting. I feel betrayed. Taas noo akong pumunta sa harapan.
" Am I interrupting something? " I said with a smile which makes them stiffen.
" What... what are you doing here Ms. Faeroe? " gulat na tanong ni Mr. Fujiyama. I face him wearing nothing but a deadly yet sweet stare.
" What am I doing here? As far as I remember this is MY COMPANY and holding a meeting without me Mr. Fujiyama is an insult in my part. You think I won't know? " I smirk.
" Pathetic. " wika ko at umupo sa upuan ko.
I am the C.E.O of this company and their just a board member.
