"What did you just say?!"

"H-heran's gaining investments from Locus— " I cut her off.

"Then do everything to get him! Sulutin mo! You know, I don't play fair. Heran is getting in my way, and I am not fucking happy about it! I told you, whoever dares to block my way, destroy 'em and crush them into pieces."

"Pero m-ma'am..."

"Hire a man to destroy Heran, hanapan mo ng ikasisira niya, or you can set him up. Whatever! Do something to lose Locus' trust in him. And be sure! Tayo ang sasalo kay Locus." I was checking my nails boredly when I said that.

"Y-yes ma'am."

"Get out." nangigigil na utos ko, kaya nagmamadali naman itong napaalis.

I heavily sighed before resting my back on my swivel chair. Maya-maya'y pumasok ang sekretarya ko dala dala ang ilang folders.

"Madam, these need your signatures." Tamad akong umayos ng upo at tinanggap iyon. Tinabi ko saglit, I'll check those first one by one. I'll be the one to give it back to them...para personal kong masabi ang mga puna ko.

"You may go now, oh btw, tomorrow take charge. I'm going to fix something."

"Yes Madam." agad na rin itong lumabas. Tiningnan ko ang oras at tumayo, holding the backrest of my chair I called Luhennce. This time he answered it, which made me smile.

"What do you want?"

"It's almost lunch, kasabay mo si Clarisse?"

"Yeah."

"Aw! Sayang! Ipagluluto sana kita."

"No need, is that all?"

"I miss you! Eat well!"

"Okay..." binabaan na niya ako. My lips pressed tightly after that. Marahas kong naibaba ang kamay na may hawak ng phone ko, at inis na nilapag iyon bago humalukipkip at humarap sa labas.

Hindi pa lang tumatagal ay muling tumunog ang cellphone ko, at ng tingnan ko 'yon ay agad akong napaayos ng tayo.

"Hello mum?"

"Amanda my dear daughter!"

"Mum you're gettin' hype again what is it?"

"Don't you missed me? I know you miss how I spoil you." ngumisi ako, si mommy talaga ang bata palang ako. She really loves to spoil me with things I want.
