That Thing Called Love #2

Chapter 50

Eula's POV
The words, PRIDE and EGO kept floating around my head... Those two words are very powerful yet very dangerous.

Nag dalawang isip ako if I want to fix things with my husband, some kind of feeling came up to my mind last night, after he tried calling me 5 times.

If only I just knew how to approach him without breaking down or crying or any of those weak points..

Later on, I noticed my Secretary wasn't around, without any hesitation I went to their lounge area...

"Good afternoon, Madame" they all attentively greeted.

"nasaan si Sasha? Masyado naman yatang late" I said sternly.

"aah Madame, nag file po siya ng leave" summer said.

"leave? Hindi ko siya binigyan ng clearance, well, sino lang naman ako? Ako lang naman ang immediate superior niya" I said and rolled my eyes... I then continued.. "may assigned sub na ba?" I asked if there was a substitute for sasha..

"uhm, yes madame" abegail said then continued.. "si henriette po"

Meanwhile.....
Henriette was so nervous on confronting the president, especially when it's her. Eula as the president of the company is really strict, and domineering. So natural lang na henriette feels that way when she confronted her. After Eula looked at her, she finally signaled her to follow her in the office.

Eula's POV
I went back to my office, balak kong mag briefing sa sub ko.

"what's your name?" I asked while organizing papers... "I'm new po" she said.

"I'm assuming 'new' is not your name?" I blurted out... I can see that she was nervous, so I eased the tension. "uhm, henriette po"

"okay, I presume na Sasha briefed you already, so you may proceed to work." I told her with a half smile on my face.

She's witty in a sense, I can see it.

While I was organizing files and papers, the door opened... It's Amira.

"hi mommy" she said in a quite sad voice..

Hindi naman siya ganito when she comes back from school ah..

I carried her and kissed her chubby cheeks, she was still looked unhappy as I carried her, "what's wrong baby?"

"nothing po" she said but still sad. her milky white skin turned pinkish, even her cheeks.

"honey, if you say nothing there's always someting" I told her.

"do not get mad, mommy. Promise?" she said with utmost sincerity. "yeah, what is it nga? Tell me" I was already eager on what she would tell me.

"m-my classmates bullied me in school" she said while sitting down in the sofa.

"what???" I asked furiously, to the point of banging my hand on my desk.

Without any hesitation, I immediately called the guidance counselor of her school....

Fuck! Ang bagal sumagot!

"yes, may I speak to Mrs. Dela questa please" I said calmly.

"good afternoon, Mrs. Martinez" she said.

"yes, good afternoon. My daughter just got into my office and said that she got persecuted, Mrs. Dela Questa, you evidently know that I am not a parent that would tolerate this kind of atrocious behavior" I said.

"My apologies, Mrs. Martinez. We will get to the bottom of this and it will be dealt with accordingly" she said.

"I expect results, Mrs. Dela Questa. Baka nakalimutan nyo kung sino ang highest donor ng school" I said.
