Chapter 11

Yvan

After I convinced Jao that I'm already fine, he went home before dinner. Nagpumilit pa ito na manatili para masigurado na maayos na ako ngunit tinanggihan ko ito at sinabihan na umuwi na dahil maayos na ang pakiramdam ko. I thanked him for taking care of me before escorting him outside the house.

"Shyn, I have something to ask you," sabi ko kay Shyn habang nandito kami sa opisina ko sa bahay. She's sitting on the sofa across my table, doing something on her phone.

"What is it?," she asked after she hid her phone inside her pocket.

"What's my stepmother's doing these days?," tanong ko sa kanya habang nakasandal sa aking upuan.

"Oh, that's what I wanted to tell you," kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya. "Faith, your stepmother, well she's middling with your business," sabi nito.

"What? Why?"

"She went to the company yesterday and asked about you. Good thing that I was there or else she'll found out that you're not personally handling your company," sagot ni Shyn. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong makaramdam ng inis dahil sa nalaman.

Bakit siya naroon? What is she up to again?

"What else?," the middle of my forehead formed a small crease as I am waiting for Shyn to answer.

I am not feeling well with what she did. That woman is cunning and a fucking manipulator. Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit pumatol si Dad sa kanya. For all I know, that woman married my Dad because of his money. Alam din nito na matanda na ang ama ko kaya't kahit napakalayo ng agwat nila ay pumatol parin siya.

"She told me that she wanted to see you," Shyn answered. Napangiwi si Shyn sa akin at parang nandiri ang ekspresyon. "Seriously Yvan, ang landi ng babaeng 'yon. Gusto ka ba talaga no'n? What a shameless pussy," Shyn ranted while looking disgusted of the fact.

"She's up for the money. Kahit ako nandidiri sa kanya. I would rather marry Tyra over her, tss."

"Who the fuck is Tyra?"

Natigilan ako sa narinig. Did I just said Tyra? Sinabi ko iyon? Bahagya akong kinabahan nang makitang seryoso ang mukha ni Shyn habang tinitingnan ako.

"N-No one. Sino ba si Tyra?," nagkunwari akong hindi ko iyon sinabi. I mentally scold myself for not being careful but scolded myself more for saying that I'll marry Tyra. The Tyra pretend girlfriend.

Napailing nalang si Shyn sa akin. Naginhawaan naman ako nang hindi na ito nagtanong pa.

"There will be a board meeting tomorrow. Pupunta ka ba?," Shyn asked me. Napaisip ako sa tanong niya. The board members will be present and it's a combination of men and ladies. Should I go?

"I'll text you if I'm going," I said to her. "And Shyn, keep an eye of Faith."

Pagkatapos naming mag-usap ni Shyn ay nagpaalam na itong umuwi. Tumungo ako sa aking kwarto upang pag-isipan kung pupunta ba ako habang hinihintay ang hapunan ko.

After thinking and ended up confused on what to do, I decided to call a friend. I waited for him to pick up the call and after a few rings, he answered.

"Hello? Any problem?," tanong ni Jao sa kabilang linya.

"N-Nothing. There will be a board meeting tomorrow at my company. I remembered what you said about the associating me to real men level," panimula ko.

"Oh yeah, I think it's a good opportunity to do it. I would advice you to attend but are you up for it? Handa ka na ba?," he gently asked. I don't really know if I'm ready but I don't also know when will I be ready. I think I have no choice then.
