"Ms. Jade is everything alright? You seem pale?" concerned her secretary.

"Yes Elaine Im okay, by the way can I ask you a question?" Surprisingly with a calmer voice, and Jade notice it as soon as she saw the womans eyes piercing directly to her own earlier, she became at peace. Her secretary nodded.

"Who s that woman?" pointing to Althea outside the conference room near the glass window.

"Ow!" exclaimed Elaine, you could notice her eyes changing dreamily.

"Shes Althea Galura Ms., shes one of the Senior Architect here in TGC"- Elaine, with a flushed face.

"One of the Senior Architect?" ask Jade in surprise.

"Ms. Althea is with us for six months now Ms., your dad Mr. Tanchinco appointed her in that position." Elaine notice Jades predicament, so she continued.

"It was actually a blessing in disguise Ms. Jade." Jade nod telling her to continue.

"Will..........remember last October? Six months ago, we have a client from Germany and your father Mr. Tanchinco was so excited to meet this prospect investor.

"Wait! I thought the Guevarra's were already their tie up here in the Philippines?"- Jade, with more confuse look and very much surprise.

"Yes they are but the Guevarra's introduce the TGC to them (The German's).

As I have informed Guevarra's and Tanchinco are great comrade in business. Mr.Guevarra and your dad are best of friends. They are each others support system, when they were just starting their own businesses.

AGC's expand their domain in the South to West of the world while TGC are in North to East. Since the German's companies are in both area of the world the Guevarra think it will be a good business for the TGC to have the German's account, thats why your father was so happy upon hearing this news.

Mr. Tanchinco is so grateful to Mr. Guevarra because your dad was so prostrated to get the German's account.

His been pursuing this company for 15 years now and Mr. Guevarra just sharing the German's account just like that without any conditions or hesitation to TGC.."- Elaine explained to Jade.
