Empress Costudy

Chapter Thirty

Akihito's POV

Napangiti ako nang mabasa ko sa ford magazine ang pangalan ko. My baby is still the number one. Pero nasa pangalawa na ako. And this is my last year, competing with her wealthy business.

Sa sobrang wala akong maisip magawa kung anu anung paraan ang pumasok sa isip ko para makatungtong sa pinaka mataas na antas nang pagiging negosyante.

I operated my sister's banking business. I took over my parent's shipping lines and their airlines. I even partnered with my friend to be a great state broker.

Dugo't-pawis ang puhunan. Tiyaga at focus ang kailangaan. I aim to be on top of her.

Xhailla Tim made it again this year!

Yan ang nakasulat sa cover page ng ford magazine. Apat na pahina ang nakasulat tungkol sa kanya. She have the best ways to deal business. Her line of business never changed. Nasa bangko pa rin ang buhay niya. Cannot help it, sabi niya pa ay binigyan siya nang mga magagandang kamay para magbilang nang milyones.

And I am so fucking proud for her! For everything she have done!

After six months hihintayin ko nalang na maiannunsyo ang pangalan ko. As the billionaire in town. Above my baby.
At malapit nang mangyari iyun. Kunting kunti nalang.

"Sir, everything is settled now." My secretary informed me.

Nginitian ko lang siya at tumayo na sa swivel chair ko.
"Make sure everything will be fine, okay?" Tugon niya pa.

I look at her. Ever since I started started this business, Erha has been my secretary since then. Pareho kaming baguhan at nangapa. Sa loob nang halos limang taon ay maraming beses kong sinubok na huminto nalang. Pero she will always root on me and will help me build my confidence again.

Lagi niya pang pinapaalala ang mga importanteng kaganapan sa buhay ko, kapag naabut ko na ang in-aim ko. And its Xhailla Tim. The only woman I have loved for a long time.

She is sometimed nagging me for being lazy. Kaya kahit nasisigawan ako nang sekretarya ko, ay okay lang. Afterall, she kept telling me that I have to achieve everything or else, I won't make it. Baka iwan na nga ako nang tuluyan ni Xhailla.

"Watch this sir." Sabi niya saakin sabay abot ng iPad niya.

Inayus niya muna ang upo sa tabi ko at nag-seatbelt. We're flying to Philippines now.

"What's with this?" Tanong ko at binalik saa kanya ang iPad niya.

She tsked me at nagkalkal sa iPad. Pagkatapos ay binalik saakin at binigyan ako ng headset.

Kitang kita ko ang isang video na nkastop. Magkaharap si Stassy at ang aking baby Xhailla.

Xhailla Tim, the number one billionaire at the age of 25, will answer some of Stassy Jean's questions.

Yun pa ang nkasulat kaya mabilis kong pin-lay ang video. Stassy is smiling ear to ear.

"Hey everyone. This is Stassy Jean. Xhailla Tim is with me and she's willing to answer few questions of ours today!." Ngiting ngiti ito sa harap nang camera.

The video was worth ten minutes watching. Sa loob ng sampung minuto lahat nakatatak sa isip ko ang bawat tanong at sagot ni Xhailla.
But the most question and answer made me smile was.

"So you are probably sure that he will do what he promised to you? You are certain that he will wait for you that long and makes you proud?" Stassy.

Xhailla smiled and nod. "He will surely do whatever it takes to prove to me that he deserve me more than anyone. And yes I believe him. I trust him. And I love him. That is why I am willing to wait for him to comeback at me."
