MKT TRILOGY #1 [COMPLETED]

Chapter 16

"Oh—Nice seeing you also Mr. Vasquez. It's such a pleasure to finally meet you." Nakipag kamay naman itong si Axcel at kinamayan din naman siya ni Sir Leo. Bahagya pa ngang umigting ang panga niya.

"I didn't know that you're also interested now in his Business. Sabi kasi ng Kuya Domino mo ay this is not your thing?" Naka kunot noong tanong ni Leo.

"Actually, I'm just here to accompany my Brother kase nagkataong wala si Dad na lagi niyang kasama sa Business Trip. And I think this is also a good opportunity to meet you Mr. Vasquez for our company's future partnership with yours." Medjo naningkit ang noo ni Boss.

"Yes, about that. Mr. Dela Vega, I have read your proposals with us and I also had your company background checked. Mukhang wala namang problema except you."

Nanlaki ang mata ni Axcel sabay turo sa kaniyang sarili. "M-me?"

"Yes, you. Wala naman ng ibang Dela Vega dito aside from you na kausap ko ngayon. My concern is that if we talk about business we make sure it's just pure business and that we give our full concentration on it. Unlike this that you're trying to hit with my secretary. I have also read that on your company's Terms & Agreements that no any personal relationship nor feelings should be involve during our partnership and anything." Seryoso ang pagsasalita ni Boss ngunit mahina lamang itong tinawanan ni Axcel.

"I-I'm sorry but, is she your girlfriend? Are you dating your secretary? No offense, Trinity, okay. I'm just curious. But the way your Boss talk and protect you he sounds like a sweet possessive boyfriend." I greeted my teeth.

"Well she is. So back off!" Tila hindi ma proseso ng utak ko ang naging sagot ng Boss ko sakaniya. Did he completely lost his mind? What about Nicole?

Itinaas ni Axcel ang kaliwang kamay na walang hawak na paper plate. "Okay, alright. I'll back off. You could've inform me sooner umasa pa naman akong mailalabas ko si Trinity. Anyways got to go. Baka naiistorbo ko na kayo." Nakakaloko pa itong tumawa bago ipinatong ang paper plate sa gilid na table at umalis na. Pipigilan ko pa sana ito ng hapitin naman ni Boss ang bewang ko.

"Axcel Dela Vega is bad news. Don't even try." Banta nito ng walang expression na ipinapakita.

Mahina kung tinangal ang kamay niya sa bewang ko. "Sorry sir, but please do not tell that to our future clients that I am your girlfriend when in fact I am not. Have you ever considered about how Nicole would feel if she learns about this?" Kahit hindi naman kami in good terms ng kaibigan ko ay may paki-elam parin ako sa nararamdaman niya.

"I don't think she will. She's occupied with numerous issues in her job. And as I have stated, I want pure business with our clients with no relationships or feelings involved.." From the looks of it, he's definitely lying. Halata sa mga mata niya ang selos lalo na rin sa pag igting ng panga niya. Which is so confusing in my part. Why is he giving those kind of looks when he has a girlfriend?

Huh??? So siya lang pwede magka Happy Ever After ganon??? Siya lang ang pweding maging masaya? Aba mukhang tatanda pa ata akong dalaga dito sa trabaho ko.

"Anyways, Ms. Gomez. Got to go. I got a phone call to take."

Third Person's POV

"Bullshit. I expected a lot from you. I thought you found her. I thought I can finally be with the love of my life." Pinipilit nito ang wag sumigaw at panatilihin ang kalmado nitong boses.

"Forgive me, My Lord, for I have gather the wrong informations. Nilibot ko ang buong Panggasinan at iyong babaeng kasama niyo ngayon lamang ang nag match sa mga info's na ibinigay niyo saakin. I'm sorry I did not doubt her and had her background checked, My lord." Halos sugurin na ng amo niya ang tauhan dahil sa pag papaasa nitong ginawa.

"What's the fuss all about?" A member of his organization entered the room. Their Lord's consigliere, or counsellor as it is more often known.

"The girl I'm with right now. Is a fucking fraud!" His voice echoed through the room. "My Lord, calm down. Perhaps it's time for me to do the searching instead, as I am desperate to put an end to this. We'd been looking for her for a decade and yet there is no sign of her existence. Forgive me for this question, My Lord. But does she really exist?"

"Son of a bitch? Do you think I'm making all this up? Who do you think you're talking to?" His face was flushed, as if all of his blood had gone right to his face. With such tone of voice, no one had the courage to respond with the leader of their organization, known as Nostra Affari or "our business," in Italian.

"I'm sorry, My Lord." His consigliere bowed and apologized.

"Find out everything about this woman."

Itinapon nito ang isang brown envelope sa harap nilang dalawa.

"I want an update by tomorrow afternoon. I can not wait any longer." Tsaka na ito lumabas ng basement. Nang buksan naman ito ng adviser ng Boss nila ay bumungad ang litrato ng isang emplayadong nagngangalang, Trinityellian Solana Gomez.
