Chapter 44: The Ruling Queen

"Don't be a queen waiting for a king, be a queen busy with her kingdom until her kings arrives"

"You're fired"

"W-What?"

"I said you fired Mr. Perez" " malamig ang boses na inulit ni Eiffel ang sinabi habang nakaharap sa isa sa executive ng kompanya. Halos mawalan ng kulay ang mukha ng kausap niya sa sobrang pagkatulala.

"You can't do this to me! I've been in this company for fifteen years!"

"Wow... So you've been thieving in this company for fifteen years? Nakakaamaze naman ang kapal ng mukha mo para sabihin iyan sa akin Mr Perez"

"What is your basis to do this? You may be the wife of our President but it doesn't give you any rights to do this to the management! You can't just rule here like a queen!"

Eiffel's blue eyes glint "Basis?" Tumango siya sa sekretarya ko at lumapit si Lovely Ana giving folders to my wife.

"Five years lists of illegal transactions, forged papers from Bureau of Internal Revenue, conspiracy agreements with the rival company" tinitigan ni Eiffel si Mr Perez "Are these basis not enough for you?"

"M-Mr Fuentabella" humihingi ng tulong na tinignan ako ni Mr Perez.

"I guess hindi ko inakala na nagaalaga na pala ako ng ahas sa kompanya ko" walang emosyon na puna ko habang nakatayo sa tabi ni Eiffel.

"Carlo, drag this man out of here and call Attorney Cruz. I want him in jail as early as now" utos ni Eiffel at walang pagaalinlangang kinaladkad ni Carlo sa kwelyo ang nagpupumiglas na si Mr Perez.

Eiffel took a deep breath and rested her face on her palms as she flashed a sweet smile that made all the people inside the meeting room shiver.

"So... Who else here wants to have the same fate as that man?"

"M-M-Miss Eiffel e-eto na po yung F-F-Financial Statement na hinihingi niyo" nanginginig ang kamay na binigay ni Briana ang folder kay Eiffel na nakaupo sa swivel chair ko.

Tinangap niya ito saka binasa at nang mapakunot noo siya ay agad lumuhod sa harap niya si Briana

"S-SORRY PO MS EIFFEL! WAG NIYO PO AKONG SESANTIHIN IM SORRY FOR BEING INCOMPETENT! WAG NIYO AKONG IPAPAKULONG MAGPAPAKASAL PA KAMI NG FIANCE KO!" hagulgul niya sa harap ng asawa ko.

Napailing ako at nilapitan ang isa ko pang sekretarya "Go and take some break Briana, ako na munang bahala dito. Carlo go with her"

Maluhaluhang tumango ito habang akay akay ni Carlo.

I heaved a long sigh and faced the woman who looks and acts like she owned my freaking office.

"Seriously woman, stop stressing all of my employees in my company"

Eiffel looked so amused and burst into laughter. "That secretary of yours is so cute Clyde. Would you mind giving her to me once I return to Britain?"

Hearing her open that topic brought me back to the reality "Depends if she would like to, however seeing how terrified she is to you I bet that won't be an easy thing to do, my beloved" Sagot ko at nilapag sa lamesa ang pinepara kong Jasmine tea para sa kanya.

Tumawa lamang si Eiffel at bahagyang inikot ang swivel chair paharap sa malaking clear glass wall.

"I'm just too amused. It's been months since I last handled a business, siguro na miss ko lang talaga ang mga ganitong bagay"
