My Little Disaster

Chapter 2

Undecided

I don't know if I'll sign the budget proposal nila. Ang laki kaya, saan naman kukuha ang company ng 15 million sa isang fashion show lang? I have to meet the board. Hindi pwede to. If they'll planning to handle this event, then they have to plan it with me.

"Hello? Is Sir Nico around?" Tanong ko sa isang pormal na boses.

"Yes Ms. President." Sagot ng secretary ni Nico.

"Okay. Tell him I wanna talk to him. ASAP."

"Yes Ms. President." Sagot ng babae na parang natataranta.

I waited for a minute at hindi si Nico ang pumasok.

"What are you doing here?" Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita si mokong.

"Uh- Nico is very busy making the budget for your couturier event this month, he sent me here." Sagot niya na para bang pinal na.

"Ohh? Well, are you a part of the budget team, then?"

"Yes."

"Okay. I don't like your budget proposal, masyadong mahal. Fashion show is just a simple event for this company; they handled lots of events like that. 15 million is too much. I wanted you to revise and make sure that when your team meets, I'm there."

"Really huh? That event was your mom's plan Ms. President. I think she would feel disappointed when you change her plans."

"Exactly, my MOM's. I am the CEO now and I wanted that thing to be changed. Hindi ako makakapayag na wala ako sa meeting niyo. And I want you all to present a final plan for me so that I can have suggestions kung may idadagdag ako. You may go."

"Fine, then. See you on the board, Ms. President." Umalis na siya na para bang wala lang nangyari samin. Okay then, see you!!

Binuhos ko sa trabalho lahat ng oras ko. I don't want to be distracted lalo nang may problema ngayon sa company. The Artiere is opening their new designs, at hindi ako makakapayag na wala ang company namin. Kung pwede lang na ipressure ang editor-in-chief naming, gagawin ko. Our company is famous and rich in latest designs. I don't want to be left behind.

I was making the plan for the new event na ihahandle naming sa London next year. Kahit ako napipiressure na rin eh. Tawag kasi ng tawag si mommy. Hindi ko na masagot-sagot kasi busy nga ako. Haaaaay. Nakakapagod, but I need to finish this one, kahit kalahati lang.

Nagising ako sa isang tunog mula sa door ng office. I think I was dreaming when I saw Anton leaning towards me.

"Hey!" Sigaw niya habang tinatapik ang balikat ko.

"Hmmmm", I yawn while my eyes where half open.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." Tumawa siya nang napakalakas at dun na nagising ang katawang lupa ko.

"What are you doing here in my office? I don't think I need you here." Irap ko ssabay tingin sa salamin, baka may laway pa kasi ako.

"Yeah. For now you don't need me. But mayb soon." He smirked and seated in front of my desk.

"Really? I don't need help nor get help from other people. I hope nabanggit 'yan ng tita mo."

"Yes, she did. But, maybe you will, soon."

"Whaatever!" Tiningnan ko siya, parang I know him somewhere eh. He's from US and I came from US too. Maybe we've crossed roads before.

"Do you mind if I ask, where did you study abroad?"

He raised his eyebrows and he smiled widely. "I don't think you're interested with me, Ms. President."

"Ugh – I just wanted to know." I said awkwardly.
