Chasing The Heir

Chapter 1

Another day, Another stress this damn work will bring.

"Alexandra, what is my schedule for today?" I asked. I'm the current President in our company so I needed an assistant.

"You have 2 meetings for today, Miss." She was nervous as hell, I just looked straightly to her!

"You don't have to be nervous when you're talking to me, well that's normal but, I already reminded you hundreads of thousand times." I said.

"Yes, Miss. I'll keep that in mind."

Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at inumpisan na ang trabaho ko. Ilang minuto pa ay lumabas na ako para icheck lahat ng mga empleyado at siguraduhing nagttrabaho silang mabuti.

Naghihintay rin ako ng announcement na magmumula sa CEO.

"Your family meeting will be in 15 minutes, Miss." sabi ng aking sekretarya na ikinanlaki ko nang mata.

"Bakit pala may biglang meeting? What is this all about?" I asked. I stop reading the files of stocks as I heard what she said.

"This is all about your work promotion, or you, being the newest CEO, Venice" napalingon ako likuran ko dahil may biglaang pumasok.. It's Cassandra

"CASSANDRA! My favorite cousin of all time! Why are you here?" I curiously asked  l

"Can you please grow up? Stop being childish when I'm around the bush, anyways, I missed you brat!" I pouted when she called me brat. I hate to say it but, it is kinda true

"Kelan ka pa umuwi dito sa probinsya?"

"Stop asking questions muna let's go, sinundo lang talaga kitang bruha ka. Ang tagal mo ket kelan." shoot nakalimutan ko

"Good Morning everyone." pambungad ko sa lahat.

"Good morning everybody! Is this take a while? I have an appointment pa" Cass pouted, so suddenly kaya natawa naman ang lahat ng kamag-anak namin.

Ngayon ko lang napansin na nandito halos ang pamilya ko na miyembro at stockholders ng kumpanya.

"Since we're complete, I'll take this opportunity to thank everyone for coming, as so you know, hindi na ako bumabata. At anytime ay pwede na akong mawala sa mundo, I decided that it is time to pass the legacy of our family. I gladly announce that i will passed my position to my only daughter, Venice Samantha Williams, as the new CEO of the VSD Corporation! Anak come here, Congratulations!" Gulat naman akong lumapit sa magulang ko na malaki ang ngiti, so hindi joke yung kanina?

Isa-isa namang nagpalakpakan ang mga mahal ko sa buhay at binati ako.

"Dad, Mom I am not ready to be the New CEO!" mariing bulong ko. But daddy just chuckled.

"I know anak hindi ka pa handa, pero nandyan si Cassie, kami para tulungan ka sa pagpapalago ng kumpanya. Isa pa, tumatanda na kami ng Mommy mo, hindi na namin kayang magtrabaho kaya naisipan namin na ipasa na sa'yo ang puwesto." hindi ko alam kung bakit may namumuong mainit na likido sa mga mata ko.

After that Cass and I had a conversation bago maghiwalay, tumagal rin kami roon ng dalawang oras at mahigit. Nagpaalam na aalis na siya at tumango naman ako.

"Ingat, thank you!" kumaway pa ako bago ito tuluyang mawala sa paningin ko

Pagkababa namin ay saktong nagsisilabasan ang mga Employees for lunch kaya naman sabay-sabay na rin kaming naglunch, I treat them in a fancy restau na medyo may kalauan sa company kahit okay na daw sila sa isang fast food chain.

Lumipas ang ilang oras at eto ako.. mainit ang ulo at kumukulo ang dugo dahil sa isang pangyayari kanina sa restaurant.

I don't wanna talk about that anymore!

"Miss? You okay?" my secretary asked while we are standing in front of the conference room. I just nod at her and smile a bit.

Ngayong hapon ay ako na ang maghahandle lahat. Nakakapressure sa totoo lang. Ayoko ng ganito.

"Good Afternoon." I confidently slash strictly said. Inayos ko pa ng kaunti ang coat na suot ko

"Good afternoon Samantha, darling. Why are you here? where is your father? This is a confidential meeting." Mrs. Primavera ask. Family's friend and one of the board members.

"My dad is not here so he ask me to be here as the new CEO." gulat naman na lumingon ang iba pang miyembro sa akin at nagbulong-bulungan.

"Pardon?"

"I'm sorry I am not repeating myself, you heard what i've said, so stop asking anymore and let's start this fcking meeting immediately!"

Ang ayoko pa naman sa lahat ay ang inuulit ko ang sinasabi at naghihintay. Some of the them startled for what I act but the hell I didn't give a single care. I heared them cursing and backstabbing me so i glared at them.

Pag-uwi sa bahay ay sermon ni Daddy ang nadatnan ko. Sinabihan raw sila ng mga board members na pagsabihan ako dahil sa inasal ko.

I explained myself and apologized to my parents before going in my room. I'm so exhausted. Hindi na ako bumaba for dinner kaya dinalhan nalang ako ni Manang Eli. Bago matulog ay hindi ko maiwasang isipin ang nangyari kanina sa opisina. It's my first day being the boss, but I already disappoint everyone.

Just because of a known guy of mine at the restaurant. Ugh.

Baka maaga akong mamatay nito dahil kalahating araw palang akong nakaluklok sa pwesto ko ganyan na agad ang mga naririnig ko. Paano pa kaya kapag nagtagal ako?
