Los Solteros 1: Irresistible Sensation

Chapter Twenty-Three

Chapter Twenty-Three

THE BIG DAY has come. Media reporters were scattered in the entrance of MGC building. I couldn't remember informing them about this event but that's the least of my concern now. Kung sa'n man nila nalaman ang impormasyon na 'to ay hindi na mahalaga.

Troy and I are still in his office. Nakatayo sa may malaki nitong bintana ang binata habang malalim ang pagkakatulala sa malayo.

"The conglomerates have arrived," napahawak ako sa aking earpiece nang marinig ang balita mula sa security.

"Assist them in the board room." Utos ko tapos ay muling tumingin kay Troy. I walked near him. I stopped a few inches away from his broad back.

"Are you ready, Sir? They're here." Untag ko rito habang hinihintay itong kumilos.

Troy moved and faced me. He's currently wearing his usual business suit; his hair was waxed upward. His blue polo sleeves were perfectly matched with his gray coat. He looks so refreshing to stare and dashing at the same time. Angat na angat ang kagwapuhan n'ya. His face was unreadable. I don't know what is he thinking. It's too expressionless. At kahit walang emosyon ang mukha'y, hindi ko pa rin maalis ang tingin ko dahil hindi sa hinagap ko na ang gwapong nilalang na 'to ang kumuha ng kainosentehan ko.

"Don't leave me." Seryoso nitong untag sa akin na s'yang nagpakunot ng aking noo.

What's with the sudden sweetness? Mukha ba akong may pupuntahang iba?

My purpose here is not yet done. I'm moving on my own now, not following the initial plan of his father to sabotage his business venture with those powerful men in the board room.

I sighed and smiled at him. Hinawakan ko ang kanyang siko tapos ay hinimas himas ang braso nitong batak sa muscles. "I won't. I'm here to help you remember?" I told him then grinned.

Humugot ito ng isang buntunghininga tapos ay bahagya akong napapitlag nang bigla itong yumakap sa'kin. Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil baka may biglang pumasok sa opisina nito at mahuhuli pa kami. Kakapaalala ko lang rito na ayaw ko ng office romance lalo na't kung hindi lock ang pinto. Geez!

"I'm going to face my fears today, 'My. Kung anuman ang maririnig mo mamaya, don't conclude right away. Don't judge me. I'll explain it to you once this is all done." He's asking for assurance for something that made my nervousness fluctuated.

"S-Sure," bulong ko rito tapos ay hinagod hagod ang likod nito. I know he's just tense.

Pagkabitiw nito ng yakap sa akin ay bumalik ang seryosong Troy Davis na nakilala ko. Ang akala mo kung sinong boss na kamuntikan pa akong alilain rito kung 'di ako nagpakita ng resistance.

Mariin na kaming nagtungo sa board room. Habang papalapit ng papalapit ay ang pagregundon ng aking kaba sa hindi malamang dahilan. Bakit ako kinakabahan? Hindi naman ako ang mag-p-present. Hindi naman ako ang gagawa ng tensyon. Ganoon ba kalakas ang awra ng kwartong tatahakin namin?

Para akong nagdilang anghel. Pagkabukas palang ng board room ay ang sabay sabay na pagtayo ng mga taong nasa loob na tila si Troy nalang ang hinihintay. The room was filled with different investors and also board members of Joaquin.

Joaquin is one of the leading chain of companies across the globe. They started as a company who build car parts until they fully acquired the process of making it. Hence, the company became one of the leading car manufacturers in Europe. Lumilinya ang Joaquin sa mga sikat ngayong mga branded cars. Just this past few years, their leading chain in Europe now acquired of creating personalized and limited-edition model cars.

After the success of this company, they ventured out different fields such as in Biotechnology, Renewable Energy power plants at ang huli ay ang paggawa at pag-manufacture ng furniture in which MGC's aiming to get.
