CHAPTER 25
SCREWED
"Oliver, are my parents here?" tanong ko pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa bahay.
"No, Ms. Cayanne Leigh. They said they'll be home late."
I nodded. That's normal. "Okay. My girlfriends are going to stay here for the night. Please have everything set while we're at the meeting room."
"Of course." He bowed and walked away.
You see, there is no such thing as a simple overnight when you spend the night at the Grimshaw's. I grew up having everything for me, well besides the fact that my Dad tries to control some things, but other than that I'm very spoiled.
Overnight here includes wearing pink bathrobes with our names on them, spa, nail polish service, trying out dozens of my clothes and shoes, taking non-stop pictures, cupcakes and freshly baked cookies at the side table while we swim on our matching swimsuits and a lot more. It depends on what my friends want to do but yeah, it's like taking a vacation at our mansion for free, the reason why my girls really love staying here.
"You do realize you have a hot new driver right?" natatawang sambit ni Tiffany.
I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe you're drooling over someone like him when you can just date a bachelor instead."
"I said he's hot. I didn't say I want to sleep with him." She chuckled.
Naglakad na 'ko papunta sa meeting room at sumunod na rin sila. Usually when my parents are too lazy to go to work, they'll stay here and have their people come over. Parehas silang may office room dito and my Dad says one day, I might have my own.
Nag-joke akong hindi na kailangan dahil 'pag nagpakasal ako ay titira din ako sa ibang bahay at doon na lang ako maglalagay ng sarili kong office. Of course he was pissed off at that. He doesn't want his princess to live somewhere else. He said he'll be lonely.
"Where is it?" excited na tanong ni Tiffany. I smiled and took the folders out from the drawer. Pagkalapag na pagkalapag ko ng mga iyon sa lamesa ay nag-ingay kaagad ang mga kaibigan ko. They each grabbed one and started debating.
Last Monday, I met my own team hired by my Mom. Madami siyang kakilala kaya pinagkatiwala ko na sa kanya iyon. All throughout the week, I did nothing but study at school and then plan everything for my company.
Wala pa sa kalagitnaan ng proseso pero nage-enjoy na ako. Sobrang importante nito sa akin kaya niyaya ko ang mga kaibigan ko na pumili rin ng shade na gagamitin for my first collection. I want them to be part of this.
"Oooh! I like that one!" Ava excitedly said.
"Let's add some glitters. Add mo 'to, girl! My personal choice!" Naomi suggested.
"And a little darker shade to balance everything!" sabay abot sa akin ni Tiffany ng napili niyang kulay.
I smiled widely before glancing at Iris who was awfully quiet right now. She seemed too serious staring at all the papers on the table, may hindi niya nga tiningnan 'yung maid nang pumasok ito sa kwarto at naglapag ng drinks at merienda sa gilid.
"Ris, ikaw? May napili ka na ba?" I asked her but she didn't even flinch. "Iris!" sigaw ko na.
Umangat ang tingin niya sa'kin at natawa. "Sorry, ano?"
"Why are you spacing out? Ang sabi ko, may shade ka na bang napili?"
"Shade? For what?" nagtatakang tanong niya. Natawa kami nila Tiffany dahil kaninang tanghali ko pa ine-explain sa kanila kung para saan lahat ng mga ito tapos hindi pala siya nakikinig.
