My Lola's Girl (James & Devon)

chapter 2 - Like An Angel

One week na ang nakakaraan mula nang dumating pero mukhang wala pa sa isip ni James sa business ng lola nya. He's partying every night with his friends. Kahit pinapagalitan na sya ng lola nya, he just nods but he'll do what he's doing again. His lola tried to dissuade his habit. James would stay quiet. He doesn't argue. But at night, he would still go out. 

Nakaupo si Lola Helena sa verandah nang mag isa habang hinihintay ang apo mula sa party ng kaibigan nito. Nang dumating at paulit ulit na bumusina ang kotse sa labas ng gate, tumayo si Lola Helena at tinanaw ang apo na pasuray suray na bumaba sa kanyang kotse. At napapailing. Napapaisip kung bakit ganyan ang apo.

Before he left for Berlin, very focused ang kanyang apo. Isang salita lang nya, susunod na ito. Unlike ngayon. Nung una, akala nya, dahil gusto lang syang i welcome ng mga kaibigan nito. But it's been a week na ganito. At hindi nya ito hahayaan.

She called Nora, ang kanyang long time executive assistant.

Helena: Nora, may response na ba from her?

Nora: Wala pa po ma'am. Halos weekly po ako nagsesend ng letter pero wala pong response.

Helena: Try to call her.

Nora: Tinawagan ko pero pag nabanggit na ang job offer, magsasabi na ng "I'm sorry" at saka ibababa.

Helena: Send someone there para kumbinsihin sya.

Nora: Pero...

Helena: Double the offer if you must. Send someone there to convince her na magtrabaho for me.

Nora: Yes, maam.

Yes. Tama kayo. They are talking about Devon. ~_~

Her academic track record impresses her. But most of all, aware sya sa extra curricular ng dalaga in running a farm and small businesses sa probinsya. She was running din a charity fr the elderly na and quarterly, nagrerequest ito ng medical mission. Sa pag iimbistiga rin nila, nalaman nila ang pagmamahal ng tao kay Devon, particular ng mga workers sa farm. Na sa kabila ng kanyang talino at fame, she's very lowly na maski sino, can approach her. 

Hindi pa nameet ni Lola Helena ang dalaga personally pero mataas na ang tingin nito rito. Imagine that! The perfectionist, tinitingala, at iginagalang na Helena Vondutch is actually looking up to a technically farm girl... Napapailing si Lola Helena. She has the power.. Isang salita nya lang, nasusunod ng kanyang mga tauhan. She rules her world with austerity... There's fear of her kahit saan sya pumunta. While that Devon... she makes the people follow her with freewill. Gusto nyang makita, to discover mismo what makes this girl's ways.
