Choosing Fain is Prejudice

Prologue

"Good morning ma'am, you have a meeting with Mr. Coleman about the food on his son's birthday at 10:00 am" my secretary said upon arriving at my office. This is my life, work, home, home, work, nothing else but letting myself busy to avoid exotic burden I've been faced 5 years ago.

Well, I actually don't feel home when I'm at house because no one's there para salubungin ako at tanungin kung kamusta ang araw ko, kung masaya ba ako, kung kumain ba ako, or kung nabundol bako, or kung nabilaukan ako habang kumakain dahil  akala ko   tubig yung nasa baso yun pala tubig talaga hahahaha dahil nag-iisa lang naman ako. My parents abandoned me without knowing the truth. Well, thanks for them, thanks for those people who hurt me before because of them I reached it all. Now I have the saying "Never get mad to the person who pulled you down, Thanks them instead for giving an inspiration to become bolder"

"Where we gonna meet Clarisse?", I asked her. "At coffee shop ma'am ",
"Okay thank you, it almost ten I gotta go", nag-aayos ako ng mga gamit ko habang naglalakad papunta sa parking lot when Clarisse just say something got my heart stops from beating, "Oh, Ma'am Mr. Stone Calvin Diaz just arrived his request to meet you, he says he wants our company to manage the food for his parents' 50th Anniversary", Fuck! Damn! Even just his name still made my hands from trembling. "Ma'am? Are you alright?",
Bigla akong nabalik sa katinuan nang tanungin ulit ako ng aking sekretarya.
"We have a lot of appointments just declared his request", fuck! I don't wanna see him, something inside my chest starts tightening fuck! 5 years, it's been whole 5 fucking years but the pain still remains.

"Pero ma'am nagbayad napo siya ng whole payment, at magbabayad daw po siya kahit magkano basta po tayo yung magmamanage. Sayang din po yun", damn! What is he doing? Fuck. I was doomed. "O-okay, just tell me where he is, I'll go with him after Mr. Coleman", Clarisse noded.

"Are you listening Ms. Miller?", I got conscious when Mr. Coleman held my hand, shit. Sa kakaisip ko kung paano ko ba kakausapin si Stone mamaya diko na namalayan ang kalandian ng matandang to. Fuck, focus Fae. "Oh yeah, Mr. Coleman, are we settled now?", he press my hand and it's really disgusting "Not until you wanna go somewhere with me," he says with lip bite, shockss! Mukha siyang asong ulol grrrrrr!  I hold back his hand to make him feel better "Just talk to my secretary about the down payment and I'm going to talk to our chef about the food you wanted Okay? and please Mr. Coleman, calm down your ass if you don't want your wife to see this?", then I throw his picture together with the girls around him. Clarisse send it to me for me to become aware about the rudeness of this old man that's why I love her.

Fuck, this is it. I am indeed going to face him after 5 years! Damn, kalma Fae, this is just a business matter. Cut the crap! Wag kang immature malamang siya naka move on na sa nangyari, kaya please lang Fae wag kang OA.

When I reach the venue my heart still beating fast. Fuck, why am I so nervous? Pagbukas ko palang ng pinto I already sense his sight on me. Kalma Fae, act normal. He never change, he really don't want a woman awaited. "Hi, Mr. Diaz, I'm Fennity Aesha Miller", I lend my hand to him, he stare at me first before he reach my hand and says "Stone Calvin Diaz, have a seat", umabot nang ilang minuto bago ko binawi ang kamay ko ano siya sinuswerte? Pagkatapos nang limang taon mahahawakan niya ulit ang aking fvcking hands? No way! "Nice to meet you", I said and I am about to seat when he replied "Finally meet you again Fenny", shit he still called me Fenny, only one person who called me that name and that's the only man whom I truly loved.
