"Alam mo ba kung ano ang tawag ng mga empleyado sa tatlong CEO?"

"Ano naman?" Ana asked.

"Monster. Teka, balita ko may nawawalang secretary? Kanino kaya sa inyong tatlo 'yon, Tris?"

"Vinz. Hindi responsibility ng mga boss ang alamin ang tungkol sa empleyado nila. They had HR department and Caleb handled that. Forget that issue, Tristan. Is it true that the terminal one has a problem?"

From the three ace card on my hands, my attention drifted with Ana before the man beside her— Vinz, my enemy on this game. He arrogantly slid his cards on the table one by one, showing two kings and a high card diamond. "I won," he declared. Bumaling sa mga chips para kuhanin.

Before he could claim everything, I threw one of my card. It stock on the space of his finger when he tried to get the last tower of my chips. It made him surprise and stayed unmoved as he watched the rest of the cards stock on the other space of his finger.

Sumipol si Ana bago sumimsim sa kanyang wine flute. "Aminin mo Vinz. You cannot defeat the genius."

Vinz stood straight. He fixed his suit before him pick up his own glass. "Matured na si Tris. Hindi na siya naaasar. Baguhin natin ang ating estilo. Mahirap magbayad ng one hundred thousand, ang hirap sa kalooban."

Ngumingisi kong pinagpag ang aking suot na suit, bago sumandal sa aking upuan. Sa akin sila nakatingin kaya arogante kong pinatong sa mesa ang parehas kong paa. "I don't need cash, all I want is vegetable seeds. Ubusin mo sa halagang 'yan."

Vinz chuckled. "Manang-mana ka sa nanay mong si Asha. Nature lover talaga kayo."

I shrugged and watched Biboy behind my shoulder. He showed me the beeper. I caught Ana saw it too, we both stood up and left Vinz without a word. The moment the door shut, a sly smile drew on my lips. "Finally, she showed up."

Kinasa ni Ana ang hawak na baril. Sumusunod ito sa aking likod. "She's mine, Tristan. You got that?"

"I don't hurt woman, Ana. She's all yours." I sat on my throne— backseat. We're currently on a situation but what was on my mind was the Terminal One— the first sensor of the treasure of Vixie Empire. I put sensitive sensor around it. No one knew the password except me, no— what I mean, I am the password. But how come someone was intruding it? Who are you?

Biboy drove the car.

From my laptop I busied myself watching my one year at post as my secretary— Cleo Demetria.

"You are the daughter of the mighty, Mr. Demetria?"

"Yes, sir," she replied on my recorded interview.

"You have a splendid life. Why did you choose to work on my chaotic world, Ms. Demetria?"

"Just so you know, Sir. I'm an orphan. And working here and earn experience means a lot to me. It is a privilege if I got this job. I studied hard to get my diploma and I want to use it on this kind of field that is related to my course."

"Everyone wants to get this job, but why do you think I have to pick you among the rest?"

She gave me an impressive answer. Nagawa niya rin ng halos isa lang ang mali sa lahat ng exam na pinagawa ko, partida may limit ang oras. Naiiba siya. Sa isang Linggo kong pag-oobserba at pag-alam sa pagkatao niya. Sa talino na mayroon siya, mas malaki ang chance na siya nga.
