Ms. Bitter meets Mr. Forever

CHAPTER 13 {the "unlucky" number... what if?}

"Very well, we may start habang wala pa anh sekretarya ng pabayang boss natin." Nandito lang ako sa labas ng conferece room at nakabukas ng kakaunti ang pinto. Hearing this statement, I went in immediately.

"Really Mrs. Rosario? Sa 15 years of service mo dito, this is how you welcome your bosses?"

"O-oh! Ms. K-Keila!"

"Surprised to see your pabayang boss here?" Binigay ko ang aking flashdrive at dinukot ang flashdrive ng traydor. I will keep it for evidence.

"My flashdrive!"

"Bakit Mrs. Rosario? May dapat ba akong hindi ka nais nais na makita sa loob nito? Besides this flashdrive is from my company so... I have the rights to get it. Kasi from the beginning, hindi dapat ginagamit ang flashdrive na binigay namin sa non-business related. Pero I think it is more than that," Sakto namang pumasok si Sioms at nagbukas na din ang flashdrive ko. "This is the report of our company in the past few years at kung titignan, marami ang nawawalang pera taon taon at simula pa nung 2015 iyon. That was when our new financial officer starts her career at this degree. Umabot ng 5 million ang nawawala sa kompanya every year and recently, my secretary has called me for this bothering news. You even called me pabaya and your offered the board na I will stop this non sense bossing related. Sinabi mong hindi ko deserve ang role na iniwan ng parents ko. At sino ang nararapat dito? You?" Napatawa ako nang mapait. "Pathetic!"

"Ang sinasabi mo ba ay AKO ANG MAY KASALANAN?"

"Yes. Aside sa mga violent reactions mo, simula noong malaman mo na "tumawag ako kaninang madaling araw" I was here already at that time. Kilala ko ang nagnanakaw ng pera pero masyadong nabulag ang iba sa kahibangan mo sa pagiikot sa kanila na ako ay pabaya kaya ikaw dapat mag handle ng case na ikaw ang nagsimula."

"Ms. Keila, hindi natin dapat sisihin si Mrs. Rosario nang walang ebidensya." Si Mr. Agoncillo, Manager ng West Building. Medyo malaki din ang trabaho niya kaya involved siya sa meeting.

"Oh? Next slide please." Ipinakita ko ang mga kuha sa cctv cameras ng pag pasok muli ni Mrs. Rosario nang hindi napapansin ng guard. "This may not be a strong evidence but if you look at it, may mga napuputol na scenes. Ang time ay  sumosobra ng 30 minutes... ang tanong. Why would you go back to the company at 2am sharp everyday?"

"I-I was busy with a-a client..."

"Really? Alam mo bang masama iyan? Ang sabihin na client pero ang totoo nagnanakaw ka na?"

"How do you prove that?" Si Mr. Hanes naman. Manager ng East wing. Ewan ko bakit puro lalaki ang manager.

"As you can see, it all started at exactly April 10th at nagpatuloy ito hanggang sa April 18th, today at 2am. May sariling opisina ang kanyang sekretarya at alam ko nandoon ang lahat ng transactions ng kompanya pero unfortunately wala doon kaya wala akong magagawa kundi gamitin ang system ng company. I found out na every 2am nawawalan ng 250, 000 at ngayon, exactly 2 million na ang nawawala. And no one is in the office other than you, Mrs. Rosario. Unless someone outside is using our company's money. Pero the tracker signifies the Finance Office."

"Very impressive, my daughter. You did well." P-papa?

"Papa?"

"Mrs. Rosario I cannot believe na magagawa mo ito. Your husband was a very respected and trustworty person. I didn't know na magaalaga siya ng ahas sa puder niya."

"Believe me, M-mr. B-Bouller.."

"I won't fire you just yet. My daughter has another evidence na pag aaralan namin. Better not make another wrong move or else I would let you arrested on the spot." Napatungo lang siya. I feel very proud!
