An Eye of the Cosa Nostra (Tres Patroncitas #1)

CAPITULO 12

HELLIXIR WAGON

"Pasamos el rato anoche y luego te vas a casar?!" (We just hang out last night then suddenly you're getting married?!) Ely yelled.

I'm back home after Cienfuego offered me to marry him, I told them the whole thing but they just couldn't accept that.

"Me ofreció muchas cosas, ¡y esto es solo una asociación!" (He offered me a lot of things, this is just a partnership!) Balik kong sabi.

"¡Pero estabas borracha esa vez!" (But you were drunk that time!) She said again while massaging her temple.

I relaxed my body and smoothly sat on my swivel chair.

"Look. This marriage will help our companies, Ely. We still had a rivals not just here in the philippines, if Cienfuego and Wagon will be together, we will be the most powerful syndicate or black organization here in the philippines, that's all." I explained to them.

"We don't need them!" Sigaw niya muli.

"I know! But business is business!"

"Rhyle! Why don't we just do what we used to do? Magtulungan tayo! Huwag ka nang umanib sa Cienfuegos." She said.

Tifanie, Slora, and Lawless are just wisely listening.

"Ely... we're not a high school students anymore, We're working together for this company, and having a partnership with Cienfuego group of companies will help us, remember? They were the best real estate in the philippines and abroad, and we have hotel and resorts company, having a partnership with them will give us a good opportunity to build more resorts and hotels, they were the best engineers and architects." I once again said.

"We have tons of money! And aren't you contented with the alluring designs of our hotels and resorts?!" She asked me again.

I massaged my temple, "Ely... business is business, we have to think wisely, and we shall not spend all of our money all at once, our companies might go to bankruptcy."

"Rhyle's right Ely, we have to get partnership with other companies, it has a lot of benefits for our companies, investments are also a good idea." Tifanie said.

"Payag naman ako eh, for the company's sake, hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit ang bilis mong um-oo." Ely said.

"I did not say that I agreed already, hinamon ko siya na talunin ako sa tatlong competition at kapag nalamangan niya ako, magpapakasal ako, dahil gusto kong subukin kung ano ang mga kaya niyang gawin para sa mga kumpanya niya at sa black organization niya." I replied.

"Is that mean.. magiging magkakampi na rin ang Cienfuegos at Wagons once na ikinasal na kayo?" Lawless asked me, I nodded.

"I know that there were more black society na magiging malaking banta sa atin, kung magsasanib pwersa ang Wagons and Cienfuegos, pwedeng matalo natin sila, pero... isa lang ang maipapangako ko, never luluhod ang Wagons sa Cienfeugos, at mananatiling respetado ang mga miyembro ng Wagons." Dugtong ko.

"I agree." Tifanie, Lawless, and Slora agreed.

"Ano naman ang mga tatlong competion na sinabi mo?" Ely asked.

"First, I'll try his speed, it will be a basic muay thai, second, I'll try his determination and ability, it will be a wrestling, and the third, where I was good at, race. It will be a race."

"Teka, señorita, magaling ka sa lahat ng 'yan eh!" Sabi ni Lawless, at biglang sumilay ang ngisi ni Ely.

"You've never changed... Rhyle." She said not taking her smirk off.
