Jane"Ms. Jane? Sir Jeff is calling you to his office, it's urgent daw po." My assistant told me.
"Ah okay, pasabi na lang papunta na ako."
I was about to knock his office door when it automatically stop at may lalaking bumungad sa pintuan. He looks pretty familiar
"Uh, sorry miss. Excuse me." He get inside the elevator. I entered the office
"What is it Jeff? Pinapatawag mo daw ako---' malakas nyang ibinagsak yung mga folders sa papel ko so I browse some of it.
" ano to?" I asked then he breath deep.
"Reports showing how the DeMarco Corporation is falling rapidly." He said.
That shocked me I never thought that this will happen to our company to my dad's company. This is too much.
Tiningnan ko isa isa yung mga papers with articles regarding our company. Hindi to pwede makita ni Dad.
"Jane, di na kaya ng DMC and mga kagaguhan ng asawa mo. Di ko na rin kayang makita ang nangyayari sa lahat ng pinaghirapan ni Lolo at Dad!" Then out of frustration he throw the empty glass of whiskey away. And it was broken in pieces just like how our company is right now as I was reading the papers.
napakuyom ako sa gulat sa ginawa ni Jeff. Ngayon ko na lang ulit sya nakitang ganto magalit. He really might be so stressed out that he resort to doing it. He also loves this company dahil alam nya yung hirap at sakripisyo ni Dad for this only to find out what my ex husband is doing to it.
I'm sorry Jeff.
Tears started to fall from my eyes. I just found myself knelt down to his carpeted floor and facing the ground and tears kept running.
Di ko alam irereact ko. Daming tumatakbo sa isip ko ngayon.
Si Dad. Si Jeff. Our company. Kyle. Lucas
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is all my fault, Jeff. I know that this won't happen if I didn't leave. I'm sorry." Then he hugged me and patted my head trying to calm me down
"No Jane, it's not what I meant, it's his fault. Its your husband's fault." He said and hush me. "Don't blame yourself. You just did what you thought was right"
"I don't know what to do anymore, the world already know that he has a wife and now he's putting our company down." I said to him while trying to wipe away my tears and slowly composing myself.
"No jane, you can do something. And you know what it is." Then he helped me to stand up and sit me to the couch here in his office.
"I'll try, Jeff. I will try." I gulped. He gave me water to relax myself. He called someone on the phone and after a while someone came over to clean the pieces of glasses that scattered all over the place.
After our talk, I was about to leave when he said something that made my heart thump fast.
"Also jane, I just want you to know that Dad knew it all along." He said.
Oh God!
Para akong nabilukan sa sarili kong laway. Di ako makapagsalita. Napahawak ako ng mahigpit sa handbag ko.
"I heard him talking to someone on the phone yesterday when I went to mansion. I don't know how pero it looks like he knew it all alon--" di ko na pinatapos si Jeff at lumabas na ako ng office nya. When I arrived sa lobby hinanap ko agad ang confort room.
Nilapag ko ang bag ko sa counter. I look at myself in the mirror.
Ang daming nangyayari. Ito na ba ang karma ko after thinking that running away for many years.
I headed to the parking lot when I saw Miguel leaning on his car as if he's waiting for someone and that someone is me
"Jane, what took you so long? I waited for you." He complained while acting childish.
"Sorry Miguel I just need to fix some things." I replied.
It's Miguel Abuevo, He's our Business developer, he help us with some issues on the company. And yes, he is the 'elevator guy' and also yes, we're already close, I think it was almost a month since we first met and we're already close, I think it just really takes 'persistent'. It's been 2 weeks na rin kasi magmula nang tulungan nya ako sa isang project sa company at he told me to just pay him with dinner and since then it wasn't fullfil yet di naman sa pagpapakipot but it's just that I don't want any issues and any attachment to anyone. Ayoko muna ng kahit anongnpwedeng makadagdag sa mga alalahanin ko. May karapatan naman siguro akong magdesisyon para sa sarili ko sa area na yun. Though its 3 weeks narin since kumalat yung issue na may asawa ang CEO ng LMpire but since then I haven't heard any news about it.
"It's just fine Jane, so what now? Dinner?" Yan nanaman sya. Nako nako pinapatay na ako ng konsensya ko talaga.
"Ha? A-ano kasi Miguel baka pwedeng next time na lang I have a lot of things to do pa eh." I said and I know that its the reason why'd he slightly made a deep sigh.
"Sure, it's just fine. Maybe next time, again. I'll got to go." He said and mukha syang nalugi ng sobra sa itsura nya siguro nagsasawa na rin sya and that what made me come up with an unsure answer.
"Ah Miguel, ngayon na lang kaya?" I said. And that made him face me and I saw a very big smile form in his face.
"Ngayon na? Totoo? Tara, ah sa sasakyan ko na lang tayo sumakay." Agad agad nyang ini-start yung sasakyan at inakay ako sa shotgun seat. I can see his excitement.
Adorable.
