"I think we'll begin now... First I'd like to welcome you all. Thank you all for coming at such short notice. I really appreciate y'all for attending today," panimula ni Tita.

Nagkaroon ng konting bulungan dahil sa pagiging kuryoso sa ipapahayag ni Tita.

"As a President and owner of this hotel, I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts especially to all my employees na wala rito... It was an honor to work with you all..." she smiled.

"I wanna inform everyone that I need a break as a President. I need to do some important things abroad and matatagalan ako... While I'm out of the country, I want someone who would like to take my position temporarily... Sad to say that my daughter, Dacey, can't take the position because she's busy as a wife of Mr. Cordovales," ngumisi sya sa asawa ni Dacey habang si Dacey ay namula ang pisngi at ngumuso.

Yumuko ang asawa nya sa kanya at nakangisi itong bumulong dito kaya mas lalong pumula ang pisngi ni Dacey at nanlaki ang mata. How sweet diba?

Tumikhim si Tita Greta at nagpatuloy. "Since Dacey can't take the position, I want Allison Layne Salazar to take the position..."

Lumakas ang bulungan at di ko sinasadya na mapatingin kay Gray na seryosong nakatingin sa akin kaya nag iwas agad ako ng tingin.

Someone raised her hand. I remember her! She's Margarette Baldivia. The owner of Legarda Suites.

Taas-noo syang humarap kay Tita, "I think the position will not suit to her profession. She's just a marketing manager and almost two years pa lang ata sya rito, I guess. She has lack of experiences..." umiling pa sya na parang disappointed sa desisyon ni Tita.

May ibang tumango sa sinabi nya. Inangat ko ang tingin ko kay Gray kung sang-ayon ba sya sa sinabi ni Margarette pero nakita ko lang syang mariing nakatingin dito.

Napayuko ako dahil sa hiya. She's right. Baguhan pa lang ako and I need to explore and spend more years to master my profession.

Sumulyap ako kay Margarette. She's gorgeous and elegant. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa malaki at bilugan nyang dibdib dahil sa deep v neck dress na suot nya kaya ito'y kita.

Umangat ang tingin ko kay Engineer Ramirez na katabi ko lang dahil nagtaas din sya ng kamay.

"She's a Salazar, the daughter of Allicia and Wilson Salazar, who owned one of the best luxury hotels in Manila. I think sapat na ang kanyang kaalaman at karanasan dahil maganda rin ang performance nya as a marketing manager here..." he smiled genuinely.

Pagkaupo nya ay lumapit sya sa akin para bumulong, "You deserve the position because you're smart and good at it..."

Napangiti ako sa sinabi nya dahil gumaan ang pakiramdam ko kahit papaano.

Naputol ang tinginan naming ng may tumikhim.

"I believe in her knowledge, credibility and skills. Wag natin maliitin ang kakayahan ng isang Salazar. At sa pagkakaalam ko ay nag MBA sya sa states..." ani Mr. Gomez.

Tumango naman ang iba bilang pag sang-ayon ngunit mukhang di talaga sang-ayon dito si Margarette.

"I agree. Allison is good when it comes to business. But... it seems to me that she need someone to help and guide her. ani Sabelita.

Tita Greta nodded. Mukhang may ideyang pumasok sa isipan nito kaya kung makangiti akala mo walang bulungang naganap.

"What do you think, Mr. Dela Vega?" nanunuya nyang tanong.

My brow shot up. Alam kong alam ni Tita Greta na kasama si Gray sa nangyari noon lalo na 'yong kumalat naming video na naghahalikan pero kahit isa sa pamilya ko ay walang alam sa kung anong meron sa amin noon. Meron nga ba?
