Masked Reality (#2 of Guilberra Series)✔

Chapter 28

Darius

Silence engulfed the room when we walked in. Some stared in disbelief and some carried on with their businesses. I, on the other hand, scanned the room to find Mrs. Coulson, our Investor.

"Ah..I see you've made it Mr. Guilberra, last time I got to meet your..." She paused, her piercing gaze shifted towards Gin, eyeing her up and down. "Well..Girlfriend, I suppose." She said, finishing her sentence.

I clenched my fist, taking a deep breath to calm myself down and firmly nodded at her, ignoring her previous insults. "You may find your seat Ma'am." I stated, also sitting on my chair.

"Ah...we should get started..shall we?" Tina formally asked, nodding my head at her, she went on infront and started the report.

"So as you can see here, there are some medicines that are banned, due to the side effects caused by this particular drug over here." She started, pointing her hand at a picture.

My eyebrows furrowed at her sudden explaination, what is she trying to say?

"Narinig ko na may isang Kumpanya daw na nag-mamanufacture ng drugs, at ini-export rin sa ibang bansa, pero hindi pa alam ng mga pulis kung anong kumpanya 'yun." Whispered Gin, making me look at her.

My eyes squinted, ignoring the report for bit. How could she know these kinds of stuff?

"At saan mo naman 'yan narinig?" Pagtatanong ko sa kanya. Napailing lang siya sa akin at ngumiti. "Marami akong alam Sir Darius..." Aniya, at ibinaling ulit ang kanyang atensyon sa report.

"We are trying to make our medicines be in best condition to assure our clients that there would be no danger in consuming these kinds of Medicines, and as we export these first in our Hospital, safely tested by Doctora Diana Guilberra and our Head Doctor Leandro Vergara." Explained Tina, gazing right back at me. I sighed in the process, and stood up, making my way infront of the staff.

"As you can see, we are planning to export these medicines all around the world, and as you can see, there are several rumors that a company...is manufacturing drugs to also export worldwide. And we need to avoid clashing with that company, otherwise the law will be suspicious of us." I paused my explaination, earning a glance from Mrs. Coulson's Secretary.

"Ahem-- Excuse me Mr. Guilberra, but are you sure that exporting these medicines will be efficient during a case like this? Hindi ba tayo maiipit sa plano mo?" The secretary asked, making the staffs nod in agreement. I smiled glancing back at Tina.

"We took care of it...so you don't have to worry about exporting, law, and the case." I replied, sitting back on my chair.

Of course I had this planned out, and as the CEO of this company, I should never fail my plans, and that made me successful.

"Okay then...I trust you to this Mr. Guilberra. Do NOT fail me or else." Mrs. Coulson coldly said, narrowing her eyes at me. I chuckled, mukhang masama ata ang gising ng matandang 'to.

"Not that I want to interfere in your personal life Mr. Guilberra, but I want to ask you something." Ani ni Mrs. Coulson, habang ako naman ay napaharap sa kanya. What in the world is she talking about?

"So..I heard that you and Ms. Tuazon were once lovers...what made you fall in love with..your Katulong?" She rose her eyebrows at me, making me blink in disbelief.

At nagawa pa niyang magtanong.

"As far as I'm concerned Mrs. Coulson, our connections only limits with business and only business might I add." I answered sternly turning my back at her. I made my way infront, clapping my hands to get everyone's attention.
