KYLIE's POV

"Miss Kylie" my oh-so-called secretary greeted me along the lobby of our company.

"Don't greet me that way" I murmured. Ugh!

Nakakainis. Nakakayamot. Hindi ko kasi alam na may meeting pala sina Dad about doon sa project namin. At kaninang umaga lang ako tinawagan ng secretary ko na ngayong umaga ang meeting. Kaya nagmadali tuloy ako.

Everybody greeted me. I just smiled and nod. Pumasok na kami sa elevator.

"Bakit kaninang umaga mo lang sinabi? You have all the time to remind me" I asked my secretary.

She looks so frustated. "I-I'm sorry Ma'am. Nakalimutan ko po kasi"

I mentally rolled my eyes and shrienked. Lumabas na kami ng elevator and pumasok sa isang conference something. I'm not used of the companies and such.

"Pasok lang po" sabi niya at pina-una ako pumasok.

My Dad was sitting at the edge. Teka, dalawa lang sila? I thought they were many. 'Yung isa naman ay nasa isang side, nakatalikod sa akin. But his back was so familiar.

"Iha, andito ka na pala" Daddy exclaimed and stood up from his seat. 'Yung lalaking ka-meeting niya ay hindi pa rin ako nililingon.

"Sorry. Got stuck to the traffic"

Bumalik na si Daddy sa seat niya.

"Anak, I want you to meet our biggest client and founder of this company. Now the CEO of the Alvarez Inc."

The guy stood up and faced me. Muntik na ako matumba at masamid dahil sa pagharap niya.

OHMYGOSH!

What is he doing here? Fvck this life!

"Mr. Alvarez. Nice to meet you" he extended his hand to me. Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa kamay niya. Double doubts.

I cleared my throat. And shake my hands to him. "Miss Del Valle. Know me right?" I smiled mischievously.

"Take a sit" utos ni Daddy at umupo sa kabilang side.

Bakit andito si....Luke? Ilang araw ko siya gustong iwasan makatagpo. Like, duh. Move on na nga eh. Means, I'm out of his life and same as mine. It means, wala na akong pakialam. Hindi ako magpapa-apekto.

"So?" I started.

"Uhm, 'diba I told you yesterday to make a report about our foundation project. Kanina, napag-usapan namin ni Mr. Alvarez na sila na ang bahala sa pagpapatayo ng proyekto natin. They agreed. So, anak, present your report to us"

I swallowed even single saliva. This is to precautious!

"I decided to build a foundation about disable persons, cancer kids, and those families who can't afford for their hospital financial support. This project aims to help people financially and even their needs. They can borrow money and funds for us as long as they have an accurate reason why. Also, we can provide homes for abandoned cancer kids and old people."

There's a long silence afterwards. Nyeta, nakakakaba. It's actually my first time to present an output all about business and etechera.

"Are you aware that this looks so clichè?" naka-smirk na tanong ni Luke, I mean, Mr.Alvarez.

I wanted to punch and kick his balls infront of my Dad. Pero I need to control myself.

"Clichè yet it can help people" I simply answered to his stupid question.
