She's my Poser

Chapter 40

Jecho's POV

Nakahawak ako sa ulo ko na bumababa ng hagdan mula sa tennis court. Masama ang pakiramdam ko dagdag pa na mabigat ang kalooban ko. She wanted me to leave. She wanted me to giver her space. Who am I not to give it to her? Wala namang kami.

"Sir! Di pa maganda pakiramdam mo pero naglaro ka na ng tennis?! Pag nalaman to ni chairman ako ang malalag--"

"Let's go," I said in a low voice at pumasok na sa loob ng kotse. Napabuga ako ng hangin. Athena, I know you will come back to me.

"Recently, there was a news that Jecho was in a relationship with their rival company's CEO,  now the issue of him having an amnesia is being critized by many. This thing will cause a great impact to Villas Group of Companies. It will also challenge the position of Mr. Kang as the current CEO of VGC. All these years, his family hid his illness and they kept him working, because they want him to sit as the CEO. About Mr. Kang and his company's response to this, we don't know yet but we will continue to follow."

That was the news that broke this morning. Di ko alam saan nanggaling yun. Di ko alam sinong nagpakalat at di ko alam paano ko haharapin.

Mr. Han parks the car infront of the company pero nakita ko na napakarami ng reporters doon. Lumabas ako using my cool image sa likod ng mga issue na ito.

"Please answer our questions. Is it true that you have Amnesia? Is that why you forgot your relationship with Miss Chua?"

Madami pa silang mga binabatong tanong pero lumakad lang ako at nilagpasan sila. I went directly to my office nang hinabol ako ni Angelo.

"Dude! Totoo ba? Sabi sa news hindi daw bunga ng aksidente ang pagkaka amnesia mo kundi---"

"It has nothing to do with you. Please go back," I said at lumakad na.

"Bat di mo sinabi sakin dude?" habol niya parin sakin.

"Nakita mo ang mga reporters sa labas. VGC must be in a mess right now," I said at pumasok na sa elevator.

"What about you?" alalang tanong niya.

"It doesn't matter how I am. Ang importante ay ang standing ng kumpanya. Take care Angelo," yun ang huling sinabi ko bago magsara ang elevator.

Malayo palang ako sa conference room ay halata na ang pagkakagulo ng board. Pumasok ako sa loob.

"Amnesia? How could this happen?"

"This could cause an enormous negativity to the company."

"Tignan niyo naman ang nilalaman ng newspapers. Nakakahiya tayo!"

"Mr. Kang, anong klaseng balita ba ito? Noon ang relasyon mo sa isang Chua tapos ngayon may amnesia ka," sabi ng isang miyembro ng board.

"Malaking kahihiyan ito sa VGC Mr. Kang," sabi naman nung isa.

"Ikaw ang CEO ng kumpanya bakit nangyari yan? Laman ka ng lahat ng balita."

"We need an explanation."

Narinig ko naman ang pagpalo ni dad sa mesa para patahimikin sila. "Tama na yan!" Tinignan ako ni dad. "Explain to them what happened."

"Kamakailan ko lang nalaman about my amnesia problem," paninimula ko. "My parents hid it from me and just protected me to avoid it. But at some point, nangyari parin. Di naman ito palaging nangyayari. It just occured to me after my accident 3 months ago."

"Then he really has amnesia." Usapan ng mga board.

Tinignan naman ako ni dad na parang sinasabing bat ko sinabi sakanila pero ito na ang tamang pagkakataon para sabihin ito. "I will take all the responsibility caused by the dropped rating of our company because of this thing."
