She's My Boyish Girl

Chapter 15

Zavier Yutsuko

MY alarm clock did its thing. Ang mag-ingay nang mag-ingay at istorbohin ang tulog ko. When I looked at my phone, it's already nine-thirty am. May nakalagay pang notification sa itaas na may meeting ako ngayon, with someone.

Automatiko akong napasimangot. Sabado na sabado trabaho pa rin ang inaatupag ko. Kahit tulog ko ginagambala pala. I will surely burst kung hindi worth it ang meeting nato. By the way, who am I meeting with? Wala silang sinabi, even Papa Jo.

Hmm.. guess I'll just get up and do my morning routine. Matapos ang ilang minuto ay natapos na akonh maligo. Since it's a formal meeting, I wore a blue blouse and a beige square pants. Not really my style, but Papa Jo taught me what to do and what not to do in business.

I went to the groundfloor, not minding the time nagha-hum pa ako while walking. Good thing this building has an elevator papuntang parking lot, less hassle. Nang makarating ako roon ay umagaw agad sa'kin ang isang itim na Bugagti Veyron Super Sport sa isang banda.

Nakakaagaw pansin naman talaga ang kotse ko, so I smiled a bit. My my, alagang-alaga talaga ako ni Papa, he knows me. When I entered my car I checked my phone for the location bago ko pinaandar ang sasakyan ko.

I took my time while driving, I even played the music Dynamite by BTS while tapping my fingers on the steering wheel. Ang ganda ng panahon ngayon, the sky is so clear. Himala rin at wala masyadong traffic. Napatingin ako sa may cellphone ko nang tumunog ito.

Phil. Sec Calling...

I mischievously smiled at pinatay ang tawag. The one whom I'm meeting with must be bursting right now. It's already ten in the morning, and I'm really enjoying the nice weather kaya maingat lang akong nag-drive to enjoy the view.

Nang makarating sa lokasyon ng pagme-meetingan, alas diyes imedya na. I confidently walked my way there at agad naan akong sinalubong ng isa sa mga crew. "Any reservations, Ma'am?" Magalang na ani nito na may ngiti pa.

Because I'm in a good mood, I smiled at her too. "Yes, for Zy Corp, Please?" She nodded energetically nang marinig ang sinabi ko. Who wouldn't? Zy Corp na to, a one time big time corporation.

I'm the owner of Zy Corp, tinulungan ako ni Papa na palaguin ito. With the help of my connections, naabot namin ang tugatog. But, even though I'm the owner, nanatiling tago ang pagkatao ko. And Papa Jo is he rumored CEO of Zy Corp. Well that's to protect me.

The staff opened the door for me. Nakita ko agad ang likod ng ka-meeting ko. He's a wearing a black tux for sure. Dinagundong ng hindi ko mawaring emosyon ang dibdib ko. His back is familiar, very fami--

"At last, you're her--" hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin nang makita niya ako when he faced me. Shocked is written all over his face, ni hindi nga siya makagalaw. Me either, but unlike him I remained composed. It's been awhile...

Daichi.

WE immediately dove down to our business. Tahimik lang akong nakatingin sa ginagawa niya, and listening to his whatsoever. Nakakatwa siya. He even forgot to introduce himself, for formalities. But anyways, kilala ko siya kilalang kilalang kilala.

"I suppose you have read our past proposals, but here you can read this. I personally made that for thus business negotiation." He handed a folder na tinanggap ko naman agad. I gave him a blank stare before I opened his proposal.

So far so good, yet.. I know my family sa well. Alam ko ang bawat liko ng bituka nila. My father, he's a wise man with a cold heart. Kaya rin tumagal ang negosyo ng pamilya dahil sa pamamalakad niya. I know his schemes so well na kaya kong gawing impromptu essat yun sa harapan niya mismo.

Matapos kong basahin ang proposal, ibinaba ko na ito sa lamesa. I picked one strawberry from the plate the beside me and ate it. Ramdam ko ang titig niya na para bang hinihintay ang hukom ko. His stares are definitely uncomfy. But I shrugged the feeling off.

"Hmm, I know your company so well, Mr. Yutsuko. But still, we're blood related I should put some consideration, right?" I playfully grin at him. I got myself up and aalis na sana. But I stopped on my tracks at tinignan siya.

His face screams frustration, akala niya siguro hindi ko tatanggapin ang inaalok niya, well not totally. "My secretary, will you send you the details. And may I remind you, Zy Corp. has a lot of departments. I don't trust you and your company, but taking a risk won't be bad. You can have a partnership with the fashion field of our corporation, no more than that. Excuse me." 

Umalis na ako sa lugar na yun for I feel so suffocated. I badly want to punch his face, but I miss him. I'm miss my brother so much. But I don't why I just can't bring myself to him. May pumipigil sa'kin. 

I smiled when I reached my car. Hindi nakalagpas sa'kin ang mga luhang pinalabas niya kanina.

"You're still a crybaby, Daichi."
