Stacie's POV
"Liv is strict but also considerate. She's professional, and some employees are scared to approach her. But as time went by, she became open, and she then created a position where she promoted me. Liv spent time building a relationship within her departments or employees."
"Thank you for that Stacie, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't because of your efforts," Liv said
"You can't argue with that, Kierra," Tita Katherine said
"I'm not going to argue, I'm just- nevermind"
"Kesha, you are already the CEO of your father's company. There are a lot of ways to make it up to us. Why leave that position now? Hindi ba parang ginagago mo lang sarili mo o di kaya kami?" Louise asked
"I don't care what you're thinking, Kierra. I'm not going to get your position if that's what you're worried about. I've already helped my father's company and this time I have to make it up to our Mother, as I mentioned I'm willing to work under you kahit ano pang ipaggawa mo sakin, I'll accept it and be happy to do it. So just bring it on."
"Since will be merging with Gonzales's soon. Would you hire her Stacie?" Baling sakin ni Louise
"Yes, not because I know she's an Atria or because she's here. It's because I know what she's capable of." Saad ko, na sana tama nga ang decision to be working with her again.
"Alright, we'll talk about this again tomorrow, I'll bring Mandy to bed." Tita Katherine said and carried Mandy inside.
"It's like you're being biased," Louise murmured
"What? I'm not Kierra if you can only see how she works" she's being unreasonable again, I know my galit siya sa kapatid niya pero kung pagiging professional naman pag usap Liv is great when it comes to her company
"What are you trying to say, Stacie?" I can feel the irritation in her voice
"That you're being unreasonable, you're asking me what's my professional opinion about your sister and I just answered it with honesty!" Irrita kong tugon
"Keirra, what the" Liv said, but Louise cut her off
"Stay out of this, Kesha!"
"No, I will not -"
"Excuse me, I can't deal with this right now," I said and walked out. I just want to be alone and think. So I decided to walk down towards the beach, hindi ko pinansin ang pagtawag nila. I don't know how to feel anymore. Pagkadating ko sa tabing dapat, I saw how the sun is already setting.
"Stacie, please talk to me."
"Go away, Liv."
"I will not, and we need to talk."
"Ano pa ba ang gusto mo? I have already given my positive speech for you. Now, I don't think na tama ba yung ginawa ko. Dahil ngayon mas binigyan pa kita nang access sa buhay ko."
"I'm sorry Stacie, I'm tryin'. Sorry, because I'm making everything worse for you. Sorry, dahil mas nahihirapan ka dahil sakin. What do you want me to do? I'm going to work for Atria's now."
"I never asked you to do that. Especially leaving your own company. What were you thinking?!"
"You, Stacie, always been you. I told you, I'm willing to give up everything for you just to be with you. I will support your decision to marry Kierra to complete the merger." Nagulat naman ako sa hulin niyang sinabi
"What the hell does that even mean? One second, you want me back, the next second you want me to marry your sister?"
"I want you, I love you. I will support your decision to marry her and complete everything you need to do, to make this merger happen. I will be there with you, I can be your little secret, and I am happy to take whatever role you give me."
