CHAPTER 4

Chapter 4: A mistake

I HEAVED deeply that I am now on the front of Amadeus Real Estate Company. Where it is in charge is the person I will guard and provide protection. I am the lucky one chosen among the ten choices of our headmaster.

This is my key to be completely close to the Amadeus family. The guy is just a little impatient but that’s alright. My job is to keep an eye on him.

When I approached the guard ay ipinakita ko sa kaniya ang I.D ko at hindi naman siya nagdalawang-isip na pinapasok ako sa loob ng kompanya.

After that selection, two of my superiors gave me a brief orientation and gave me information about the Amadeus family. I did write a few details and had my own research on them, especially that guy.

Inilabas ko naman ang cell phone and I fixed my earpiece too. Nasa bulsa ko na rin ang walkie-talkies at ang ibinigay ni Klein na pepper spray.

Elvis Vladimier Amadeus, he was born on October 5, 1996. He is also the only son of his parents and eldest son. He has two younger sisters, one is an actress and model, and the youngest is still in college.

Matalino ang lalaki at simula pa lang sa grade school ay matataas na ang grades niya. He went to college at a prestigious university here in the Philippines and had Latin honor when he graduated. Not only that, he also studied his master of degree at Oxford University.

Because he is expected to be the successor of his parents. AREC has been established long ago and from the information I have gathered. Their company is very famous and they have built many buildings, subdivision and schools, those are their projects.

Every month their income reaches 200 millions pesos. Another thing, they have other businesses as well and they really are the richest in the country. No wonder they really need bodyguards for their safety and all I need is to do the job properly. Because if I failed I’m dead at ako talaga ang malalagot.

I actually heard my earpiece drop and listened to it very closely. “Hey, C. Have you been there yet?” That was Jamie’s voice.

“Yes, I’m already here. Pasakay pa lang ako ng lift,”  I replied and the employees couldn’t avoid looking at me. Gayunpaman ay hindi ako nagpakita nang emosyon ko. Pinindot ko lang ang 8th floor kung saan ang office ni Sir Elvis.

I’m wearing a black suit. Instead of black heels ang susuotin ko, I chose a flat shoes. I’m used to wearing high heels. But at my height of 5’7 that’s not necessary. I’m more comfortable with this. Malaya akong makatatakbo kapag nagkaroon ng gulo or something. But I’m hoping na wala naman.

AREC is on the 15th floor. This is huge even though the building is only this tall. It’s so beautiful inside and you’ll think you’re just in a hotel.

Their company doesn’t have uniform but they have a dress code. Women should wear mini skirts, high heels and pants are forbidden. The same goes for men, they are all wearing suits. You only know what their position is their ID string.

The lift is open so I stepped out. From the info I’ve gathered, this whole floor is exclusive for the chef executive officer.

A man got up from his seat and had a table there. He has a lot of paper piled up on the surface. I stared at his face. He’s good looking and it seems a nice guy too.

“Good morning! I am Nikolas San Gorte. I am the secretary of Sir Elvis Vladimier Amadeus. Are you Miss Chendra Alderto, his personal bodyguard?” I nodded in response and reached out my hand. I’m wearing a white hand glove.

He accepted it with a smile. “Can I have his schedule?” I politely asked the man, though I still don’t have emotions.

“Sir reminds me, just ask him to take his schedule,” he replied and raised my other eyebrow. Bumitaw na ako and nodded a little. “Please enter now.  He’s waiting for you already.”
