CHAPTER 16

Lately, Franco is so damn busy with their company, they lost two deals in a row, which is unusual, kung di pa nakipag-usap sakin ang lolo nya, di ko pa malalaman, di man lang nya nababanggit sakin, pag kinukumusta ko naman, busy lang daw. Kaya pala he looks exhausted the last time he fetch me. Tinanong ko lang kung sino ang next client nila and luckily, I know them. Sabi ko sa lolo nya, I'll see what I can do and I'll just call him for updates. Kaya after their presentation, di na ko nag aksaya ng panahon, I went to Cheng's Empire building to meet Henry, Mr. Cheng's only Son, the acting Ceo because his dad is currently on leave. I went straight to his office since may appointment naman ako.

"What brought you here Lee?" he asked as soon as I step in his office

"You're rude, aren't you happy to see me?" I tease him, well, I know for a fact that he hates seeing me, kaya ganun agad ang tanong nya at hindi man lang ako pinaupo muna. Napaka walang galang talaga ng batang to. Hahaha nakakaaliw.

"Do you want me to state the obvious?"

"Nope, I want you to tell me something I don't know" naka ngiti ko pa ding sagot

"Did dad called you to check on me?" inis na nyang tanong, naniningkit ang mata

"No, I did the calling, telling your dad that I need to check on you" I know he's pissed, always been pissed with me only because he's dad always favored me. He's always defying me in every chance he gets but end up obeying me because his dad tell him so.

"Check on what?" takang tanong nya "Why the sudden interest?" dugtong nya

"Check on your new project, so how is it going?"

"Oh that! Don't worry, you'll agree with me this time! I thought of getting Madrigal's but changed my my mind, I'll go for their rival" nakangisi nyang sagot

"And why is that? What made you think that I'd agree with you this time?" I asked sharply, fishing for information, I want to know why he said that I'll agree with him.

"Because this time, I'll obey what you taught me" confident nyang sagot.

"Are you sure? Because the way I see it, you're doing otherwise"

"Damn sure teacher" pang asar nyang sagot, ganyan yan eh, pag gusto ko inisin

"Okay, let me rephrase my question, are you sure you're not going to defy me this time?"

"Yes! Sure Teacher!" his voice laced with sarcasm

"Okay! Choose the Madrigal's then!" I challenged him

"No Lee, you don't understand, I have a very good reason in choosing their competitor over them." He said seriously, almost in a panic tone.

"What ever your reasons are, good or bad, you are going to choose Madrigal" I said firmly, letting him know how serious I am with this matter
