Shadow's Face(Love vs. Revenge)ONGOING

Chapter 22: She's Julie.

 (Jaycee's POV)

"Lo. Anong.." Napahinto ako pagkapasok ko ng Office ni Lolo. Nagpatawag ata siya ng meeting. Teachers and Staffs were present. Pero bakit nasa salas sila? Bakit di nila ginamit ang conference room?

"Naku best.." Kring.

"Girl friend.." Kian. Napabulong na sila. Alam kong nag-aalala sila sa akin.

Naka-aircon ba? Pinagpapawisan ata ako ah. Parang gusto kong tumakbo pabalik. And the moment of truth just began. The time that I don't want to come, really surprised me unexpectedly. Sa sitwasyong ganito pa talaga. I really can't explain the expressions they are showing off with their faces. This is so breathe-taking. No one dares to move even just a bit, or throw even just a single wink.

Ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? Andito na ito eh. I think God really pushed this thing to happen. But I'm not gonna give up just because they already know that I am his grand daughter. The fact, they didn't know the real me. My turn to move my piece. And no one can still it from me.

"Miss.." Lolo.

"I'm good Lo. No need to build another wall. Natibag na po. Kaya hayaan na. Good afternoon po sa inyong lahat. Narinig niyo naman po siguro. Kung maaari po sana ay makausap ko kayong lahat ngayon. Salamat."

Naglakad na ako papuntang conference room. Rinig ko namang sumunod naman ang lahat. Umupo na ako sa center at iyong dalawa kong kaibigan ay sa mini-salas ng conference room. Everyone is settled.

 "Everyone.. Let me do the honor to.." Lolo.

"I can handle it Lo.." pinutol ko ang pagsasalita niya, magkaharap kami, sa kabilang dulo siya. I know he's concerned, very much. And that, he really cares about the situation I am going through right now. I know I'm not used to this kind of things, but how am I going to learn if there's always someone who's taking the move for me? I know I'm far from that win-win situation, but I can do this. I used to be independent, and maybe, I can use it now.

"Again, good afternoon po sa inyong lahat. Hindi ko po talaga inaasahan ito. And I'm not gonna deny it anymore. Yes. I am the grand daughter and the ONLY family member left of Mr. Charles Ludwig. I am Jaycee Amber Ludwig Marquez. The reason why I don't fill-in the middle name on your class cards my dear teachers. At dahil nagkabukingan na, wala na po akong magagawa. My point is, I've been hiding for years, and the fact na alam niyo na, I am hoping that everything you have heared today would stay inside the four corners of this room. Alam ko na ang pagtatagong ito ay hindi magtatagal, but watch out. Alam niyo naman siguro ang mga kaya namin." Seryoso ako sa mga sinabi ko. I won't dare saying those kung hindi ko kaya.

"Gorgeous, stop threatening them."

"I'm not Lo. I am just reminding them."

"As you said Miss." Lolo. Alam kong di na siya hahadlang. Higit kanino man, siya ang pinaka nakakikilala sa akin. At sa sitwasyong ganito,  alam kong alam niya, di ko na nagugustuhan ang mga pangyayari.
