Chapter 57
Chairman

"What's happening here?"

The door opened and we were all shocked when we saw who went inside.

I've always thought that I was already prepared for this. This one moment where I get to say all the things I wish I did a long time ago. Those words that are left unsaid was so heavy because I carried it for too long with me, when I chose to walk away and not say anything.

I've waited for this moment for too long but now that he's standing right in front of me, nawala na ang lahat. Iba pa rin talaga pag nasa harap mo na, because even when you thought you have come prepared, when you're face to face with the person, everything you wanted to say will just be.. gone.

"Tito," Yixing gasped when he heard Chairman Limjuaco's authoritative voice.

Chantelle immediately moved away from Yixing by pushing his hand off. Agad agad itong tumayo at inayos ang sarili. I just stood there, completely and utterly speechless.

"Chairman Limjuaco!" Chantelle said as she wiped her tears.

The Chairman's eyes travelled around the room while he walked towards us. His brows furrowed when he saw the broken vase, stomped flowers and blood near the table of the CEO.

"Yixing, why are you here?" Chairman asked and then diverted his gaze to Chantelle. "Why is your hand bleeding?"

As if on cue, Chantelle started crying again but this time it was much more gentle na para bang sobra siyang nasasaktan.

"She did this to me, Chairman!" Chantelle said out loud while pointing at me. "She pushed me!"

Natahimik ang lahat and they all stared at me. Gulat akong napatingin kay Chantelle because of what she said at mabilis na umiling. Lies!

Yes, I did push her but it wasn't my intention to hurt her! I just wanted her to stop because she's already hurting me by her tight grip. Now, she's making it look as if I'm the one who started it.

He looked at the three of us again. Yixing was silent and I can't blame him for not saying anything dahil wala rin naman siya nung nangyari yun.

Chairman Limjuaco turned to me. "Is it true, Euphoria?"

Agad akong umiling. "N-no! I-I didn't--"

Susugurin dapat ako ni Chantelle pero napigilan kaagad siya ni Yixing at hinawakan.

"Chantelle, stop!" Yixing said, holding her back.

She was trying her best but masyadong mahigpit ang hawak sakanya. My eyes widened seeing her so determined to protect herself with a lie. She's lying right in front of everyone to make me look bad!

"You liar! You pushed me!" She raised her voice while  pointing at me. Hawak pa rin siya ni Yixing kaya hindi niya ako masugod.

The Chairman stood in the middle, his eyes were clueless and demanding for answers.

"You were the one who started it—" I was about to explain my side but she suddenly moved again towards me. Binitawan na siya ni Yixing.

Chantelle looked at the Chairman, cutting me off. For the second time around, I feel like I'm making a fool out of myself again. Hindi na ata darating yung oras na matatanggap ako ng family ni Max.

"Don't believe her tito! She was the one who made a mess here and she pushed me so hard--"

"That's not true!! I was only protecting myself!"
