Bizarre Devoted To You

CHAPTER 12

After 30 minutes, dumating na kami sa Silverland company. Pinagbuksan ako ng pinto ng kasama naming driver.

" This way Sir " iginiya ni attorney Vazer ang elevator na sa tingin ko ay pang corporate used only.
"BTW,Atty, lahat ba na shareholders mag-aattend din?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang pumapanik pataas ang elevator.

" Hindi pa po sir, board members lng muna kasi next week yung general meeting for this year."

"OK" tipid kong pagsang-ayon

Maya-maya pa bumukas na ang elevator,hudyat na nasa conference room na kami.

Pagpasok namin, bumungad sa akin ang mga nakacorporate attire karamihan ay may edad. Tanging ang medyo bata lng sa mga nakaupo sa round table ay ang aking kapatid. You heard it right. My real parents is the parents of Kier,he is 2 years older than me. Sinabi sa akin lahat-lahat Ni mama Celin na ang mga magulang ko ay isa ring maimpluwensyang tao. Sina Nezza and Ramil Lewins, I don't know how to address them kasi di ko pa naman sila nakikilala o nakita man lang sa personal at Hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko kapag nagkita ko sila.

"Good morning everyone"

Naputol ang pagmumuni-muni ko ng magsalita ang Emcee.

" Our newest,handsome and young board member. He is  the replacement of former chairwoman Celin Salmiego and once became an intern here" The other members was confused when they heard the word intern.

" Please welcome our second major shareholder and newest Presedent of silverland company, President Czedric Ken Salmiego!" Nung una ,Hindi makapaniwala silang lahat pero nang makabawi sila sa pagkagulat, masigabong palakpakan ang kanilang ginawa. Ngunit, si Kier tila inaasahan na mangyayari into kasi natural lang ang kanyang expression.

I have just found out that he owned 29% of the company that make him CEO.whereas, jumin owned 5% And I owned 27%.

"Mr.President may we ask to introduce yourself infront of them?" Sabi ng emcee sa gawi ko .

Bigla tuloy akong kinabahan,shit!

" Just do it" Pangungumbinse Ni Atty Vazer sa akin kaya pumunta na lang ako sa unahan. Wala naman na akong choice.

" Magandang umaga po sainyong lahat, gaya ng narinig nyo kanina, ang aking INA  na dating chairwoman ay Hindi maayos ang kalagayan kaya sa akin nya inilipat ang shares nya dito sa kompanya."
" But seems like you're too young for this industry, can you handle and manage this company without putting it into jeopardy? "  The old man from the middle of the table facing to me is doubtingly ask.

" Do you even have a prior knowledge or experience in handling big businesses? " Another old man questioning my capability.

" Wala pa akong mga karanasan dahil ngayon pa lamang mangyayari ang mga ito at may mga tutulong at magga-guide naman sa akin na professionals para matuto" Saad ko sa kanila.

" Seems like you will make this company as your training ground?" Mapanuyang turan ulit nang matandang katapat ko.

" Can you even speak English? As an intelligent president of this big company, you should be fluent in public speaking using English language ,considering our foreign investors, you will always talk to them from time to time."

Wtf? Are they belittling me?

" If being fluent in English is the basis for being an intelligent person, I don't want to be an intelligent person anymore. You, as a veterans in this industry must know that the true measurement of being intelligent person is the proper etiquette or attitude towards people and employing of higher order thinking skills is necessary." I said with pride and dignity.
