Marupok Pero Hindi Mabaho [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9 - The Step Brother

Habang naglalakad pabalik sa elevator ang dalawa, hindi na mapipigilan ni Lisa magtanong.

Lisa: Anong nangyari? Anong ibig sabihin ni Bossing unnie?
Jennie: What do you mean Lisa?
Lisa: Napansin ko lang ha. Parang... Takot siya sa yo? And considering mas malaki yung error ko, I don't feel punished enough. At least not compared to Jill.
Jennie: That's only because nagdebut ka na as an artist. Si Jill kasi, trainee palang siya so mas strict talaga si Bossing sa kanya.
Lisa: E yung other thing naman.
Jennie: Do you mean the "Miss Kim, your brother wants to see you immediately." *tatango lang si Lisa at titingin kay Jennie.* Long story Lisa. Let's just say that my step-brother bought some shares in YG.
Lisa: May stepbrother ka pala? So, dito na rin siya nagwowork?
Jennie: Yes, something like that. Magpractice ka na muna. And be careful with your leg.
Lisa: No. Not yet, gusto kita samahan. And I won't take no for an answer. *worried na titignan ni Jennie si Lisa ngunit magpapacute lang ito in response.

Jennie: You can't come with me Lisa. Sorry.
Lisa: Nini... I want to be there for you. Bakit pag ako may problema, lagi kang tumutulong? Pero pag ako na yung gusto tumulong sayo, ayaw mo tanggapin? Please...

*mapapangiti si Jennie at tatango na lang. Papasok sila sa elevator at magugulat si Lisa ng pindutin ni Jennie ang 14th floor, ang pinakataas ng building nila. Ihohold ni Jennie ang close door button at titingin kay Lisa.*

Jennie: San nanggaling yung hawak mong mic? Anyway... I'll do the talking Lisa. And please keep this a secret between us. Promise me that.
Lisa: You're scaring me unnie. Bakit tayo nasa penthouse?
Jennie: No questions. I'll tell you everything later. Promise me Lisa, this stays between us.
Lisa: Promise...

*bubuksan ni Jennie ang pinto at makikita ni Lisa ang isang table a few steps away in front of them. May nakaupo ditong isang magandang babae na halos kasing ganda na ni Jisoo (asa siya, halos lang kukuku...)*

Jennie: Good morning Yan.
Yan: Good morning Miss Kim, Miss Manoban. Please proceed inside, he's expecting both of you.

*Bumalik na sa pagtratrabaho si Yan at naglakad na si Jennie palapit sa double doors. Tahimik na sumusunod si Lisa at nagulat na lang sa pangalan na nakita niya.*

Mr. Jeremiah Kim
Owner

*

Dahandahang bubuksan ni Jennie ang pinto papasok. Sa loob, nakaupo ang isang gwapong lalaki na mukhang Koreano pero may halo. Tatayo ito pagkakita kay Jennie at lalapit.*

Jermy: Jen!!! I miss you! Bakit hindi mo na ko binibisita? *pacute sad face habang niyayakap si Jennie.*
Jennie: Hello to you to brother. You asked for me?
Lisa: Uhmm... Good morning sir. I'm Lalisa Manoban.
Jermy: Lisayah!! Ang cute mo. Mukha kang barbie. Omg... Papicture... *Dahan dahan tong lalapit kay Lisa at ngingiti ng nakafingerheart habang nagseselfie...* No need to be formal. Anyway, upo kayo. May konting tanong lang ako.
