Kabanata 8

Napag-usapan namin ni Engineer Madrigal lahat ng plano ko para sa pag-uupgrade ng shipping vessels ng kompanya namin. We did also discuss about visiting the private island wherein the ships were made of. The Island was located near in Palawan, so we need to book a flight tomorrow or next, then our boat would be going to fetch us.

Binili noon ni Daddy no'ng namatay si Lolo. That wasn't the main site of the company before, the real one was the Island bought by my Great Grandfather. Well, I don't really know much of the history of our ancestors but sometimes it just that my Father loves to do storytelling when we were talking way back when I was still a kid- who actually my best time to get along with my Father even though his full attention was on my sister as if he was only talking to her and I wasn't belong to their face-to-face talk.

After I talked to Engineer Madrigal, I went straight to the Vice President whose also my Tito in Mother side. He was good at me though, so I don't need to worry. I rummaged at my clear book the pictures of the damages of the ships of European Transporter. We need to take this seriously because if we do not make correct this crumple, then the Marketing sales would be at the lowest. 'Tsaka ayokong mapagalitan na naman ng aking Ama.

"Good morning, Ma'am. Mr. Montalbano is already waiting you inside." Tito's secretary said with a smile on her face. I nodded my head and immediately stormed inside his office.

The first person I saw was my Uncle talking to someone at the phone. He was looking outside the glass-wall as if he was thinking this very careful. I hemmed and because of that, he craned his head and glimpsed at me. He beamed once he saw me and hovered his hand- gesturing me to take a seat. I just did what he wanted and waited for the call to end.

"I heard from my secretary that you have something to tell me. What is it all about, Cami?" he said, with so much businesslike voice.

I nodded, "My Father was gone almost a week and since he was out for a moment. I suppose you are the one I should be consulting this one..." I said and plunged the pictures on his table, "The ships were damaged- but that wasn't like from any accident or unintentional move. I think those ships were intentionally crashed by someone I don't know."

His eyes squinted, "Intentional- what?"

"Uncle, it was so obvious that the damage of the ships were intentional. I think someone is making his move to sabotage-"

He cut me off, "Do Altros know about this one, Cami?"

"Hindi pa po. No'ng una, hindi ko binigyang halaga ito dahil sabi ng mga nagdala ay nabangga raw sila sa korales, pero no'ng dinala na nila ito sa Factory para sa last inspection ay doon ko nakita na hindi ito galing sa mga korales. I think there is something wrong behind the damages."

He startled to what I said. Awhile, there was only an ounce of theories twirling atop my head. My suspicion just amplified and it was shocking that there was someone in the company making it without our awareness. All of this information just descended my mind when Engineer Terrence called that all the men who delivered and even the seamen who I thought maneuvered the ships were gone like a penetrated bubble.

The European Transporter was the one of the companies who'd believed in to what we can give- but apparently things went to a flop and we need to do something regarding to the person whose behind this. I looked at the pictures once again. The damages were serious and I don't know if the European Transporter would like to take those because they were all thinking about the safety of all the possible passengers of those Shipping Vessels.

I dug deeper beyond my capabilities as I thought of the possible persons that have a hidden agenda to our company. From the boards to the investors. Though, I don't know them yet because I've had only attended one board meeting, after that, my Father threw me to the Factory for last inspection. But in accordance to what I observed when I first met all of them, they were all good, all fascinated to their work and I couldn't see any dark plan behind their eyes.
