Faded Accounts (Law of Attraction Series # 1) (PUBLISH UNDER IMMAC PUBLISHING)

Chapter 46

5 years passed by,

"Ma'am the sales for this month decreases because of the new company that expanding their branches to every country already," hindi ko maiwasang hilitin ang aking noo habang nagmamadaling maglakad papunta sa finance office.

Simula ng may sumikat na panibagong kumpanya last year nagkaganito na nag sales namin, pababa ng pababa every month at hindi na ito maganda sa kumpanya namin.

Hanggat kaya ko ay pilit kong tinatago ito kay Madam dahil matanda na siya at ayaw ko nang ma stress pa siya lalo dahil dito.

Pagdating ko sa Finance office sinalubong ako ng mag staff and bow their heads, "Where's Knox?" I ask while walking hurriedly on his office.

"Inside Ma'am," his secretary said and opened the door for me.

Head Marketing Manager ako ngayon sa Noelle kaya Ma'am ang tawag sakin ng ibang staffs. "Diether" I call his name ot get his attention out of his Laptop.

"Yes?" malambing nitong sambit at isinantabi ang kanyang ginagawa.

"Kailangan ko ng list ng sales natin from the past 9 months, may ichecheck lang ako" seryoso kong sambit habnag umupo sa harap ng kanyang table habang inaayos ang mga papeles na gagamitin sa board meeting mamaya.

"Yeah, sure basta ikaw," he said and handed me a brown folder filled with papers and a list.

Agad koi tong kinuha at iniscan, kailangan kong maayos ang process of distribution ng mga products para maibalik ang sales namin.

Hindi ako papayag na matatalo ang branding ng Noelle's. kailangan ko itong maiangat muli gay ang dati. Last two years ago Noelle Top was the most selling brand of perfume worldwide because of my branding idea but when that company came, agh nakakainis!

"So grumpy haha," sambit ni Diether habang nakasandal sa kanyang upuan at patuloy akong pinagmamasdan.

I roll my eyes at him and he laughs like he always does. It's been 5 years and I still get teased by this man. "Dinner date tayo mamaya sunduin kita babe," he said and winked at me.

I was busy checking the paper when he asked but I clearly heard it, I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah, sure babe" I said and resumed doing what I needed to check.

After that, I quickly go back to my table and search for other strategies that we need to enhance for the better improvements of Noelle's sales. The day runs like that, I focus on researching and attending board meetings and doing some market stuff.

"Knock knock" I raised my head when someone knocked on my door. "Diether," I said and looked at him. He leaned on the door and crossed his arms on his chest and smiled at me.

"Sandali na lang matatapos na ako" I said and hurriedly saved all the files I did and turned off the PC. Agad kong kinuha ang aking bag at pinatay ang ilaw ng aking office.

"Let's go," I said, he smiled and got my bag for him to carry instead and we walked out of the company.

Malalim na ang gabi dito sa New York pero buhay na buhay pa rin sa mga city lights ang buong lugar kaya masarap maglakad dito. "Where are we going to eat?" I ask while we're walking.

"My condo," he said.

"What I thought we are eating at a decent restaurant?" tanong ko sa kanya, he reach for my hands and look at me.

"Quality time kasi pag sa condo kesa sa restaurant, order nalang tayo ng paborito mo" he cheerfully said and finch the tip of my nose.

I frowned and hit him on his arms but he just chuckled.

We ride his ford bronco and reach his condo. In just 15 minutes, "Ilang chicken wings ba ang gusto mo?" he asked as we went up to his condo's floor.

I smile and hug his arms, "Limang box!" I said.

"Yeah, as expected," he said and we laugh together. Pagpasok ko sa condo niya ay agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto niya para kumuha ng pamalit na damit, kanina pa kasi ako naka pencil cut na skirt at medyo nahihirapan na ako kumilos.

"Hey, not my hoodie," suway niya ng makitang kinukuha ko ang paborito niyang hoodie.

"Edi ito nalang" I said and undress my top in front of him. He hurriedly hazes at umiling iling na lumabas ng kanyang kwarto.

I laugh and continue undressing myself until I'm totally change with his black hoodie and a white Adidas jogging pants.May mga binili kasing pants si Diether na pangbabae para sa size ko tuwing pumupunta ako dito sa condo niya.

After dressing up I was about to go out of his room when my phone rings, kinuha koi to sa loob ng bag ko at umupo sa kamay ni Diether upang sagutin ito.

"Hello, Ma?" bungad ko sa tawag.

"Anak kamusta kana dyan? Natapos na ang pagpapagawa ng banyo sa second floor anak. Kaya pag day off mo dumalaw kana dito sa bahay ah" tinutukoy ni Mama ang bahay na pinagawa ko sa Canada.

Doon sila ngayon nakatira ni Papa. "Ahh tiningnan ko Ma, pag hindi na hectic ang schedule ko" I said.

"Oh sige anak sabihan mo lang ako kung kailan ka pupunta ah, oh gusto ka daw makausap ni Papa mo-----" I cut her out and, "Ah ma kailangan ko na umalis tatawag nalang ako ulit ok bye" I ended the call already put the phone beside me.

"Hindi mo pa rin gustong kausapin ang Papa mo?" napalingon ulit ako sa pinto ng dumungaw doon si Diether.

I just sigh at his question so he walks towards me and hugs my head as he stands in front of me, I rest my head on his stomach and close my eyes.

"Ayaw ko pa eh," I said.

"That's fine they'll understand you" he gently said and left me up by pulling my hands.

"Tara na andyan na agad ang order mong chicken wings kain na tayo" he said, I smile at him and rest my head on his arms at tamad na naglakad palabas ng kwarto niya.

We ate dinner with 6 boxes of chicken wings and burgers, we talked and laughed the whole time and after that, we decided to watch a movie and play games that I usually play where he is also good at.

"Ok I win give me 5 boxes!!!" masaya kong sambit habang tinutulak siya na kumuha ng pera sa wallet niya. We had a bet, who wins receive 5 box and I win.

"You monster," he said and glared at me.

"Hahahhahahaha" I just laugh at him and we try for another set but I win again and he gives up. After that hinatid niya na ako sa apartment ko.

"See you tomorrow," he said and kissed my forehead. "Yeah, see you," I said and went out of his car and entered the apartment.

Pagpasok ko sa kwarto ay agad nawala ang ngiti saking mukha at napalitan ng lungkot, every time I enter my room, I feel so lonely and sad, in those five years I still feel pain here inside my chest that I couldn't get healed.

"Fuck this pain," I whisper and rest on my bed.

"I miss you..."
