Chapter 48: B!tch

Chapter 48

"We can't let it down, Samantha. The investors are willing to pull their invesment right now! Arghh damn Ace!"

Kanina pa naghe-hestrical si Stacy, 30 minutes and were meeting the board. Without the CEO. Inuna pa nya ang pakikipaglandian! Damn him. I saw him hugging that woman infront of his mansion. He doesn't care if someone could saw them!

I know I'm jealous. Who wouldn't be? He's busy with a woman while his company is in need.

Naupo ako sa kaharap na couch ni Stacy. It's bad for her, she's pregnant. Not sure.

"Did you call him already?" I asked, she look at her phone.

"I called him so many times, pero ni isa ay wala syang sinagot! Damn him!"

I took my phone and dialed his number. Many rangs but no one answered.

"You can do it Sam. You're the secretary kaya kahit papano ay may karapatan kang harapin ang board and investors. Just listen to them and if they ask just answer based on what you know and what you seen. I know they'll ask about what happend on the anniversary. Tell them some spare things. But always remember don't tell them anything they could use to pull their investment"

My hands are trembling. Kanina pa ko pabalik-balik rito, hindi ako mapakali. I'm facing those investors for petes sake, and worse I'm all alone! damn it.

"Sam yong mga papers about the publishing house ay nasa folder mo na, at ang mga librong ipapakita mo sa kanila nandyan na din, ang pinaka-importanteng libro ay ang mga likha ni Ms. Amethyst."

Tumango lang ako.

NANGINGINIG pa rin ako habang nag lalakad. Stacy is with me, pero hindi sya pwedeng pumasok sa loob ng meeting room. Nasa loob na ang mga big time na mga taong yon. I'm facing the meeting room, nagdadalawang isip ako kung pipihitin ko ang seradora o hindi. Hindi ko alam pero I feel bad that something will happen. Or maybe I'm just over thinking.

"Come on, Sam. Just believe in yourself. You can be a leader, you can speak for Ace, for everyone. Pag nandito si Ace alam kong mas gugustohin nyang ikaw ang humarap sa kanila. And you need to. You'll be marrying the company's VP. I know Ace will proud of you"

Oo, wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko. I can't even speak for my self, I can't stand in my own feet. I've been an independent woman, single mom. Pero kaya ko ba? Kaya ko bang harapin ang mga iyon ng wala si Ace? What if I failed? What if bigla nalang nila ipupull ang kanilang investment? Walang Ace ang sasalba sa kin ngayon. Walang Ace na mag sasalita for me.

I can do it! Fail or success I'll always be proud of my self. Ace woulb be too? Can I speak for him? Can I be a good leader? Can I save the publishing house?

"Go. Trust yourself"

Thats her last word before I enter the room. Everyone eyes is on me, their judgemental looks. Ang mga matang kinakatakotan ko. The way they look, para akong nawawalan ng lakas.

"Where's Mr. Sanford, Ms. Santillian?" Mr. Lapas asked.

Pinakalma ko ang aking sarili. Tumayo ako ng maayos at inayos ang envelope at folder na hawak ko.

Inisip ko na kasama ko si Ace na pagnagkamali ako sa presentation sasali sya sa usapan para isalba ako. Thinking that he's here! Kahit malabo.

Dumeretso ako sa harapan, dumaan sa projector. Nilapag ko sa table ang mga dala ko. Naupo ako sa swevil chair kaharap ng lahat. Everyone raise their brows. Their eyes are asking why I'm seating here.

"What the hell is the meaning of this, Ms. Santillian?"

Tumikhim ako at pinagsiklop ang kamay sa itaas ng lamesa. "Ace is not around, as you can see?" Panimula ko.

I don't where I find a guts to talk like this. Talking like the boss but the fact that I am just a damn secretary.

"Ace is busy with something personal.." damn! Is flirtinga personal matter?

"We've been contacing him for many times but we can't reach him, maybe his busy with his family" damn again!

"Alam nyo naman siguro ang nangyari sa ama nya, and also with his mother. Family is most important than anything else. Ace is catching up with his family. And as a daughter too I understan him. I don't have his permession to do such thing like this..."

Agad silang nag ingay. Kaliwa't kanang bulongan.

"But please! Please listen to me. I'll took all blame is magagalit si Ace, gusto ko kayong makausap tungkol sa publishing house. Your main problem..."

I feel at ease ng makinig sila. They'll waiting for my words.

"Everything is good at the publishing house, but something came up on the event, pero matutuloy pa rin ang operation. Sa susunod na araw ilalabas na ang mga librong gawa ng La Vega Publishing House. We all hoping that all the books will be sold out."

Tumahimik ako at tumingin sa lahat. Waiting for their words to.

"Give us one reason para hindi namin ipull out ang investment namin" Ms. Katheryn Albayno ask.

Of all investor sya ang pinaka-ayaw ko. Palagi syang maraming tanong. Shes kind a lil bitch too. Porket anak ng pinaka may malaking share sa kompanya kala mo kung sino na. As i know she like Ace. Tsk!

"But before you answer that. Let me tell you. Alam mo bang pwede kang matanggal sa trabaho. Your not related to the company owner, your not one of the investors too. Sino ka ba? Your just a secretary! Pero okay lang na matanggal ka rito, Ace doesn't need a secretary like you. So continue Ms. Just Secretary. And say bye bye to your work"

I want to slap her! Damn her! Kung walang tao rito kanina ko pa yan nilampaso sa sahig. Pero chill lang, tumayo ako ng tuwid.

"Willing akong matanggal sa trabahong ito Ms. Albayno, Ace love the publishing house it reminds him of his family. Malapit sa puso nya ang mga libro. Humans knows and love books anyway"

"I don't"

"I said human not animals" i smirked. Umusok na ang ilong ng gaga.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi nya at nag patuloy sa pagsasalita. "And anyway I have a right"

"Yes she has, my wife have all the rights to talk to shits like you."

Everyones eyes is on the door. And the handsome guy enetered.
