CHAPTER 96

Lucas' POV
It's a new day and I'm currently having a zoom meeting. Nandito ako ngayon sa bahay coz my wife told me not to go to work. Yes! Emilia told me not to go to work kaya bilang masunurin na asawa, susundin ko siya. Look, I'm not under or what ha. I just want my wife to be happy, yun lang.

While other BODs are sharing ideas, my wife entered. She didn't even knock and now standing infront of me as if napakalaki na naman ng kasalanan ko.

Emilia: Hindi pa ba tapos yan, Lucas?

She said that while crossing her arms. Good thing naka-mute ako coz if not, they might laugh at me. Nakakunot din ang noo niya so I turned off my camera and speak up.

Lucas: Hon, this is an important meeting. Hi-hindi ako pwedeng mag-leave dito—(didn't continue his words coz Emilia speak up)

Emilia: Mas importante pa kesa sa akin?

That made me sigh. Alam ko na naman kasi kung saan patungo 'tong usapan na'to eh pero hindi ko pwedeng iwan ang meeting na'to coz again, this is very important.

Emilia: Mas importante pa ba yan kesa sa anak mo at kay Lizzy?

Lucas: Hon, hindi ganon, okay? Gi-give me another 10 minutes. Promise I'll go downstairs na.

Emilia: Tsk! Kapag ikaw hindi pa tumayo jan sa kinauupuan mo, hindi ka na makakatayo habang buhay pa. Sisiguraduhin ko din na hindi mo maihahatid sa altar yung anak mo, Lucas (giving Lucas a death stare)

Lucas: Hon—

Emilia: No more buts! Turn off that laptop now, naintindihan mo?

When my wife tell those words, she immediately turned back and went out of the room. She even slam the door which gave me a sign na galit siya. "T***-***! Oo na!"

I fixed my tux then open my camera again. By the time one of the BODs done sharing plan B, I speak up.

*Zoom meeting

Lucas: Do you guys mind if I just jump in here for a moment? Sorry for interrupting, I-I just have something to say.

BOD 1: Sure, Architect Laurel.

BOD 2: Of course, sir.

Lucas: Thanks!...Well, you guys are all aware how little time I have to join this meeting, right? So if you don't mind, can we just resched this meeting around 8 in the evening?

Other BODs: Sure (then smile)

Lucas: Great! My secretary will just send a new link before  8pm so that we can start at exactly 8.

BOD 4: Okay.

I end the meeting in a polite and formal way. Jusko! Pagpatay ko palang ng laptop ko, one of our helper came in and inform me na tawag daw ako ni Emilia. Hay! To be honest, that made me pissed off so I take off my tux and immediately go downstairs.

*Kitchen

Emilia: Napakabagal!

Lucas: Ano bang gagawin ko, hon? (Frowning)
