My Stupid Spy Girl

CHAPTER 7

"It's not easy to kill a person. But I find it easy knowing that THAT person I kill is sinful." ---- Myracle Y.

"Loving her is risky. Falling for someone I didn't know is like falling into a deep cliff without ending. Too dark to see and too deep to reach the end." ---- Xenon K.

.

Chapter 7:

******

"I want to be your husband." Said the boy who was staring at the little girl.

"When you grow up, I'll be your husband and you'll be ny wife."

The little girl wondered around. It's dark. Why is she here? She's scared.

I hate dark place.. Why am I here?

The little girl walk and walk til she found a light coming through. She smiled. She ran and ran but it's not light, it's a fire burning her house.

The little girl scream for help yet no one answered. The little girl ran into their house finding her mother and father lying in the floor.. covered with blood.

A tear escape from her eyes. She walk towards them and found a necklace with a cross in it.

She hold tightly and a faint of anger crossed her eyes. Someday, she will get revenge to those who killed her parents.

It's not an accident. It was on purpose. She will get revenge. She will get revenge.

She looked up and saw a glass covered with fire. The little girl closed her eyes embracing the impact and everything went black.

HINIHINGAL NA NAGISING si Myracle mula sa pagkakatulog. Nasapo nya ang kanyang ulo at huminga ng malalim. Tiningnan nya ang orasan. 1:45 ng madaling araw palang.

Tumayo sya at binuksan ang pinto. As she expected, walang tao. Dahan-dahan syang pumunta sa kusina at kumuha ng tubig.

Myracle took a deep breath. Sumalin ulit sya ng tubig sa baso at pumunta sa garden.

Umupo sya sa hammock at tiningnan ang langit. It's so peaceful.

Aalis na sana sya ng may marinig na kaluskos sa bandang gilid ng garden. Ibinaba nya ang basong hawak nya at sinundan ang ingay na yun.

"---- schedule nya boss."

......

"Yes boss. Mukhang girlfriend nya to." Paused. "Inalam ko po ang lahat sa kanya at base sa nakalap kong impormasyon, wala na po syang magulang."

....

"Yes boss."

Walang ingay na humakbang papalapit si Myracle sa taong iyon. Alam nya kung sino ito at alam nya ang pakay nito.

Pinatay ng taong iyon ang tawag at humarap. Laking gulat nito ng makitang may bulto ng tao sa likuran nya. At sa tulong ng buwan ay nakita nya ang mukha nito.

"M-ma'am" Utal na sabi nito. "A-ano pong ginagawa nyo dito sa ganitong oras?"

"Hmmm.. Nagpapahangin lang. Ikaw?" Ngumiti ng matamis si Myracle sa kanya.

Huminga ito ng malalim at ngumiti kay Myracle. "Tinawagan ko po ang magulang ko na baka hindi ako makakauwi ngayong buwan."

Myracle still look at that person with a hint of coldness in her eyes. "Sa ganitong oras?"

Lumunok ang kausap nya bago sumagot. "O-opo."

"Ahhh.."

"M-mauuna na po ako Ma'am. Inaantok na po kasi ako." Nakangiting paalam ng taong iyon.

"Sige."

"Good night Ma'am." Tumalikod na ang kausap ni Myracle. Ngunit wala pang 4 na hakbang ay may naramdaman syang malamig na bagay sa leeg nya.

"Good night.... Grace.." bulong ni Myracle sa tenga ni Grace bago pinugutan ng ulo.

Tumalsik ang ulo ni Grace sa di kalayuan habang nakamulat ang mga mata nito. Malamig na tiningnan ni Myracle ang walang buhay na katawan ni Grace.

If she is in sanity right now, she might've cried or maybe even collapse because of the sight she's facing right now.

But she is in alter mode, means, she can't feel any emotion or pain. She's numb. Emotionless and Painless.

"You know what Grace? I actually trust you. I mean, I know that you're a bad person but I trust you nonetheless." Parang tangang kausap ni Myracle kay Grace habang hinihiwa ang tyan nito.

"You see, I'm not a bad person. I am kind. I just eliminate the bad person so that the world is peaceful. I'm a kind person right? Hahaha." The innocent lady was gone now. All you can see is a lunatic-looking-crazy girl who is taking out the innards of Grace.

"Don't worry Grace. I shall not waste your innards." Ani Myracle habang kinukuha ang puso ni Grace.

Pinaglaruan ni Myracle ang lamanloob ni Grace. Habang ang isang taong nakatingin sa kanila mula sa malayo ay muntik nang masuka sa nakita.

Ngunit hindi maiwasan ng taong nakakita na malungkot. Lungkot para sa 'asawa' ng amo nya at awa para sa namatay na kasambahay.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

NAPABALIKWAS NG BANGON si Xenon dahil sa narinig na sigaw. Nagmamadaling sumuot sya ng damit at bumaba.

"What happened? Why are you all shouting?" Sigaw ni Xenon.

Nakita nya sa gilid si Myracle na hindi matigil sa pag-iyak habang nakayakap kay Aling Estella.

"M-master.. P-patay.. G-gr-grace." Utal-utal na ani ni Monic.

Hindi nya ito pinansin bagkus ay lumapit sya kay Myracle at hinaplos ang pisngi nito.

"Why are you crying?" Malambing na tanong ni Xenon.

Lumingon sa kanya si Myracle at dinamba sya ng yakap. "Ace! Huhuhu! Ayoko syang makita! P-patay na si Grace huhuhu! Ang pangit ng itsura nya."

"Ha--a-ahem."

"Pfft."

Napalingon si Xenon sa mga maid na mukhang natatawa sa sinabi ni Myracle. Pati si Monic na umiiyak kanina ay tinabunan ang bibig para hindi matawa.

"Hush! Go to your room. I'll clean the mess." Malambing pa rin na sabi nya kahit pinipigilan nya ring tumawa.

"No! I'll stay with Mama Estella." Maktol nito.

Walang nagawa si Xenon kundi hayaan si Myracle. Pumunta sya sa garden kung saan naroroon daw ang bangkay.

Nang makarating sya sa bandang gilid ng garden ay nakita nya ang katawan na walang ulo at kita ang laman loob nito.

"Damn! This is brutally s**t! Where is the fvcking head?" Sambit ni Xenon sa sarili at palinga-lingang hinanap ang ulo ni Grace.

"Oh damn! This is superb! Myracle is the only person I could think of who would do such a thing." Ani nya at naglakad patungo sa ulo ni Grace. Pinulot nya ito at tiningnan.

"Sorry to you see you like this but can't you fvcking close your eyes? It's fvcking creepy and disgusting at the same time." Nandidiring sabi nito.

Oh poor Grace. Can't Xenon see that she's dead? How can a fvcking dead person be able to close her eyes when it's fvcking dead already?

Crap! It's really a disgusting sight!

Ininspeksyon ni Xenon ang crime scene ngunit wala syang makitang clue or whatever. He wear gloves and examined the victim. But because of its state, Xenon is having a hard time to see a clue on the victim's body.

After a half an hour or so, he wiped the sweat on his forehead while holding a strand of hair whose he is sure to be the killer's hair.

Fvck! Finally found it!

And now, he's done with that fvcking b****y body. He stand up and look at the crime scene.

The killer obviously clean the whole area leaving them without a trace. But..

Xenon look at the hair that he was holding and smirk. Maybe the killer forgot to clean his/her mess in the victim's body.

"Rue." Tawag nya sa isang guard na nakatayo sa di kalayuan.

Lumapit ang nagngangalang Rue sa kanya at yumuko. "Bakit ho?"

"Clean this mess." Turo nya sa bangkay ni Grace.

Hindi nya na hinintay pa na magsalita ito. Umalis sya sa garden at pumunta sa laboratory basement. He flick his finger and the light immediately occupy the area.

Kinuha nya ang buhok na nakuha nya at nilagay ito sa stainless tray at pinasok sa lumiliwanag na cube. Pagkaraan ng ilang segundo ay naging kulay red ang ilaw na nanggagaling sa cube.

"Seriously?" Hindi makapaniwalang saad nya.

Napailing na lang sya kapagkuwan. Tinapat nya sa monitor ang kamay nya at tsaka lumabas.

Pumunta sya sa living room at naabutan nya si Myracle na umiiyak pa rin at pinapatahan na ng mga maids.

"Waaaahhhhh! Huhuhu! Ang pangit nya! Ang pangit ng itsura nya. Ayoko ko na sa kanya." Palahaw na iyak ni Myracle.

Napahawak sa noo si Monic sa sinabi ni Myracle. "Jusko ko Ma'am! Pakiusap tumahan ka na po!"

Nang makita sya ng mga maid ay parang nakahinga sila ng maluwag. Tiningnan nya ng maigi si Myracle.

"Leave us alone." Malamig na utos nya.

Yumuko ang mga maid sa kanya at umalis. Lumapit sya kay Myracle at nakipagtitigan dito.

"Lady, were you the one who killed that maid?" Tanong nya.

Mabilis na umiling si Myracle. "Hindi ah!"

"Answer me honestly lady." He gritted his teeth.

Tumayo si Myracle at inis na tumingin sa kanya. "Bakit ba ha? Kanina ka pa tanong ng tanong! Nakakainis ka na ha! Eh kung tanungin kaya kita kung anong ginawa mo dun sa katawan nya? Oh ano? Ni-r**e mo ba sya? Kinain mo laman loob nya? Pinatay mo ba sya? Ano? Sagot!" Walang prenong sabi ni Myracle.

Napanganga si Xenon sa mga tanong ni Myracle. He didn't expect that this is what the response of Myracle.

But wait.. How can he fvcking kill a person who's already dead?

"How can I fvcking kill an already fvcking dead person?" Sigaw nya.

Nameywang si Myracle. "Sige ibabalik ko yung sagot mo sa tanong mo. How can I chickening kill her when I'm chicking sleeping?"

Kumunot ang noo ni Xenon sa sinabi ni Myracle. What the hell is she saying?

"What the hell is that chickening chicking word?" Bulalas ni Xenon.

Ngumuso si Myracle sa tanong ni Xenon. "Hindi ko masabi yung f word eh. Paano ko yun masasabi eh bad word yun?" Pahina ng pahinang sabi ni Myracle.

Lumambot ang ekspresyon ni Xenon sa sinabi ni Myracle and it amuses him at the same time.

Damn! How dare he cussed in front of this girl? She's too innocent to hear and said that f word.

But.. he chuckles remembering the word she said, replacing the f word.

Chickening chicking? What a word.

Sinamaan sya ng tingin ni Myracle. "Ba't ka ba tumatawa ha? May nakakatawa? Eh kung patayin kaya kita? Ano? May angal ka?"

Xenon smirk. "As if you can kill me."

Natigilan si Myracle sa sinabi ni Xenon. A glimpse of hurt made its way to her eyes. It's true. She can't kill him. How could she kill this man? Even imagining him suffering, her heart clench.

How could she kill his beloved?

"K-kaya ko nga eh!" Irap na sabi ni Myracle.

Xenon step closer. "Hmm? Then do it." Myracle step backward as Xenon, once again, step closer.

"L-lumayo k-ka nga!" Sigaw ni Myracle. As she was about to step backward again, Xenon grab her wrist, pull her closer and encircled his free hand to Myracle's waist.

Myracle struggle but Xenon hold her tightly and move his face closer to Myracle's lips.

"I can still bit your lips, can't I?" Xenon said huskily.

Damn! Everytime I look at those kissable lips, I can't help but to have a b***r.

Nanlalaki ang mga mata ni Myracle sa sinabi ni Xenon.

"Waaahhh! Canni---" napatigil si Myracle sa pagsigaw at napakurap.

What had just happened?

Xenon kiss Myracle in a most seducing way. He pulled her naped closer and deepen the kiss. His tongue get inside of Myracle's mouth, searching for her tongue.

"Ahhh" Myracle moaned.

Hearing Myracle moan, he aggressively bit her lips and fight with her tongue again when...

"Bro, we're he--- oh s**t!"

"Damn! Live p**n!"

"My virgin eyes!"

"s**t naman! Ang aga-aga nagkakainan na kayo? Get a room!" Sigaw ni Jahnzeel.

Bumulong sa kanya si Rahnzeel. "Shhh! Ayokong mawalan ulit ng boses."

"Damn! Oo nga no." Balik na bulong ni Jahnzeel sa kanya.

"Ah-- hahaha you can go on. Enjoy your meal bro." Nakangiwing saad ni Jahnzeel at pasimpleng lumabas sa pintuan but before he can get closer, Myracle's cold voice stop him.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Patay! Mama ko." Sambit ni Jahnzeel sa isipan.

Lumingon si Jahnzeel sa kanya at ngumiti ng pilit. Hindi sya nagsalita bagkus ay tumahimik sya at ngumiti na parang walang nangyari.

As soon as Jahnzeel smiled, Myracle hold her head. Its throbbing hurt but she hold back her scream.

'Let me take over!'

No. Stop!

'Let me out!!'

Pasimpleng umiling si Myracle at binalingan ng tingin si Jahnzeel. Ngumiti sya dito na ikinalunok nito.

"Ah.. ah pasensya na. Come in." Pilit na ngiting saad nya. "I'll just go upstairs." Paalam ni Myracle.

Pagkaalis ni Myracle ay nakakalokong ngumiti ang mga kaibigan nya sa kanya.

"Ano yun bro ha? Nagbibinata ka na ba?" Tyler said.

"Anong klaseng halik yun?" Parang tangang tanong ni Ruzziel.

"Ngayon ko lang nalaman bro, manyak ka pala!" Nakangising saad ni Hanzen.

"Shut up! What are you all doing here?" Inis na tanong nya.

Biglang sumeryoso sila. "I found something fishy in one of the house of lords." Sabi ni Rahnzeel at inilapag ang folder na hawak nya kanina pa.

"I also found a loophole in Dela Vega's organization." Inilabas ni Tyler ang cellphone nya at ipinakita kay Xenon ang mga illegal na ginagawa ng mga Dela Vega.

"They surely know how to go against the law." Nasambit ni Xenon. Binalingan nya si Jahnzeel at Ruzziel. "Where is the blueprint of Dela Vega's house?" Tanong nya sa dalawa.

Nagkatinginan sina Jahnzeel at Ruzziel at sabay na umiling. "Matalino si Dela Vega. Bago pa namin makuha ang blueprint ay na virus na ang laptop namin."

"Dela Vega also implant a tight security in his property. We can't go in." Paliwanag ni Jahnzeel.

Napahilot sa sentido si Xenon sa narinig. Mautak talaga ang Dela Vegang yun.

"I found out that Dela Vega's organization is not of his own." Singit ni Hanzen. Napalingon silang lahat kay Hanzen sa sinabi nito.

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Tanong ni Ruzziel.

"Dela Vega's organization is originally run by the House of Milverton. But Dela Vega claimed that he is the one who operate it just like how the Earl Milverton wanted to be." Paliwanag ni Hanzen.

Napakuyom ang kamao ni Ruzziel sa narinig. "Damn! Sinasabi ko na nga ba! Kasabwat ni Dela Vega si Harold(Milverton)."

Tinapik ni Jahnzeel ang balikat ni Ruzziel. "Calm down dude."

"Aside from that.." Hanzen paused and look at Xenon.

"What?!" Asik ni Xenon.

Hanzen sigh. "You know that Dela Vega has a grudge on you right?"

Kumunot ang noo ni Xenon. "What about it?"

"Dela Vega think that Ella is your wife and he order his men to kill her." Nag-aalangang sabi ni Hanzen.

Dumilim ang aura ni Xenon sa narinig. How dare he?

"Any other information?" Malamig na tanong nya. Umiling si Hanzen.

"That's all information I have."

Tumango si Xenon. Tumayo sya at di sinasadyang napatingin sa garden.

"Go to the garden and clean the mess. Every single details must be clean. Got it?" He said, coldly.

He didn't wait for them to answer. Holding the folder Rahnzeel gave to him, he go upstairs to find Myracle.

When he reach Myracle's room, he open the door but Myracle is nowhere to be seen. He shrugged, maybe she is in the guest room.

He walk toward his room and open it only to find Myracle peacefully sleeping in his bed. Napailing sya sa nakita. It's early in the morning yet Myracle is here, sleeping.. again..

Inilapag nya ang folder sa mini table at lumapit kay Myracle. Umupo sya sa gilid ng kama at hinaplos ang pisngi nito.

He's attract to her. He can't deny that. As much as he want to stop himself, he can't. Every day, everytime he didn't see Myracle, he feel like panicking and fly into rage.

His not dumb not to know what kind of feeling it is. He knew it. He's starting to like her-- or maybe even more.

But.. he is not yet ready to fall. He promise to her mother that he will give her a justice. He can't break that just because of a girl.

"I'm sorry lady. I promise, once I give my mother a justice, I will come back to you and by that time, I swear, I'm not gonna let you go." Bulong nya at hinalikan sa noo si Myracle.

He hesitately stand up. He walk into the drawer and get his duplicate phone. He search his name in the contacts and called him.

'Sorry, you don't have enough balance to make this call---'

"What the fvcking hell? I don't have a fvcking load?" Sigaw nya.

Nilingon nya si Myracle na gumalaw sa pagkakahiga. Napabuntong hininga sya nang makitang natutulog pa rin ito.

Muntik na nyang makalimutan na natutulog si Myracle, buti nalang at hindi ito nagising.

Naiinis na binalingan nya ang cellphone nya.

"How come I don't have a fvcking load? The last time I check, I used this 3 fvcking years ago-- ohh.." napatigil sya sa pagsasalita nang may ma-realize. "It's fvcking 3 years ago! Damn! How come I didn't check it?"

Frustrated na ginulo ni Xenon ang buhok nya at lumabas sa silid. Pagdating nya sa hagdan ay sumigaw sya.

"Manang Risa!!" Sigaw nya.

Nang marinig ang boses ni Xenon ay dali-daling sumagot si Manang Risa at pumunta sa kinaroroonan nya.

"I NEED A FVCKING LOAD!" galit na sabi nya.

"Yes Master." Saad ni Manang Risa at umalis.

"Bwahahahaha!"

"s**t! That was epic!"

"How come you don't have a load bro?"

He glared at his friends who was laughing hard while holding a sack.

"Shut up! And what's that?" Inis na turan nya.

Napangiwing sumagot si Hanzen. "Damn! Hindi mo naman sinabi saamin na may ibu-brutal ka pa pala."

"This body is a wrecked! s**t! Tumatayo ang balahibo ko nakikita ko 'to." Nandidiring saad naman ni Tyler.

"Dispose of that. Bury it or burn it, I don't care!" He said. "And ready my plane." Sabi nya bago pumunta sa taas at pumunta sa kwarto nya.

NANG MASIGURADONG MAAYOS na ang necktie nya ay nilingon nya si Myracle na mahimbing pa ring natutulog.

It's 10 o'clock in the morning but he didn't dare to wake her up. Lumapit sya dito at hinalikan ang noo nito.

"I'll be entrusting our company to you, love. I love you." Bulong nya dito at hinalikan sa noo patungo sa labi nito.

Dahan-dahan nyang isinarado ang pinto at bumaba sa hagdan. Naabutan nya sa living room si Joy na nagpupunas ng upuan.

"Hey you!" Tawag nya dito. Lumingon sa kanya si Joy at yumuko tanda ng paggalang.

"Wake Myracle up when its 11 o'clock. Make sure to let her eat and take care of her. Understand?" Maowtoridad nyang utos.

Tumango si Joy kaya lumabas na sya. Pagbukas nya ng gate ay nakita nya ang limousine na nakaabang sa kanya.

Pinagbuksan sya ng pintuan ng isa sa mga bodyguard nya. Pumasok sya at umupo.

He hold his neck and cracked it. Kinuha nya ang cellphone at tiningnan ang picture ni Myracle na pasikreto nyang kinuha habang natutulog ito.

Sinave nya ito sa lock screen nya at maliit na ngumiti.

Nang makarating sa private airport ay dumeretso sya sa kanyang sariling eroplano. Yumuko ang mga staffs nang makita sya.

Pumasok sya eroplano at umupo sa gitna. Pagka-upo nya ay sinet nya ang safety belt at pumikit. It's time to go to Las Vegas.

Pumasok sa isip nya si Myracle. Damn! He's surely gonna miss her.

****

Naalimpungatan si Myracle dahil sa katok. Inaantok na tinaas nya ang kamay nya at humikab.

"Ma'am Ella? Gising na po!" Sigaw sa labas.

Kinusot nya ang mata nya at binuksan ang pintuan. "Bakit?"

"Ma'am bilin po saamin ni Master na gisingin ka raw po pag alas onse na. Nakahanda na po ang pagkain sa baba." Maggalang na saad ni Renalyn.

"Sige. Bibihis lang ako." Ani nya. Akmang pupunta sya sa banyo ng makitang iba na ang kulay ng kwarto nya.

"Huh? Kaninong kwarto to?" Usal nya sa sarili. She shrugged it off and go to the closet.

"Ehh? Ba't puro panlalaki ang damit dito? Kay Ace ba ang kwartong 'to?" Saad nya ng makita ang suit na parehas kay Xenon.

Nang walang makitang pambabae na damit ay lumabas sya sa kwarto ni Xenon at tumungo sa kwarto nya.

Kumuha sya ng damit at pumasok sa banyo. In-on nya ang shower at naligo. After a while ay nagbihis sya at bumaba na.

"Nasan si Ace?" Ani nya ng makitang wala si Xenon sa sala.

"Eh Ma'am papunta po ata yun sa ibang bansa para sa business trip." Saad ni Monic habang hinahanda ang pagkain.

Umupo sya at sumandok ng ulam. "Ganun ba? Sino ang mag-aasikaso sa kompanya?" Ani nya.

"Hindi po namin alam eh." Sambit ni Joy.

Hindi na umimik si Myracle at nilantakan nalang ang pagkain na nasa harapan nya. Hindi nya manamnam ang ulam dahil iniisip nya kung saan nagpunta si Xenon.

"Sorry Joy, but can you wash the dishes? I'm going to the company right now." Walang ganang sabi nya.

For the past few weeks, sya lagi ang naghuhugas ng kinainan nya. Ayaw nya kasi ng magulo.

Tumango si Joy kaya nagbihis sya ng pang-opisina at lumagay ng pulbos sa mukha.

Bumaba sya at pumunta sa garahe. Kinuha nya ang Ferrari ni Xenon at minaneho ito. Wala pang tatlumpong minuto ay nasa harapan na sya ng AC company.

"Good Afternoon Ma'am." Sabay-sabay na bati ng mga empleyado sa kanya pagpasok nya.

"Good Morning too. I'll be in charged in this company for days because Ace is not here. Is that okay with you?" She said with a hint of coldness in her voice. Its always been like this if she is not in a good mood.

Nagkatinginan ang mga empleyado bago tumango at ngumiti. "Of course Ma'am."

"Good." Ani nya at dumeretso sa private elevator ni Xenon. Pinindot nya ang ORF at naghintay.

***TINNNGGGG**

Lumabas sya sa elevator at pumunta sa opisina ni Xenon. Umupo sya sa swivel chair at pinikit ang mga mata.

Wala pang ilang minuto ay may kumatok na.

"Come in." She said.

Pumasok si Stevan na may dalang folder. "Ma'am you have a meeting at 1:00."

"What is it about?" Tanong nya nang hindi tinitingnan ito.

"About the new product of our company and also, there's a problem regarding financial services." Ani Stevan.

"Hmm. Ok. You may now go." Saad nya. Yumuko si Stevan at umalis.

Binuksan nya ang mga mata nya at tumayo. She have 30 minutes to prepared--- but on the second thought, even if she doesn't prepare, she can solve the problem this company faces.

After all, she's his lady. Ugh! Thinking Xenon make her pout. He didn't even wake her up.

She lazily open the door and go to the sub-con. No one is here means she's early. Umupo sya sa unahan at naghintay.

After 5 minutes ay sabay-sabay na nagdatingan ang mga shareholders at mga leader ng department.

"Is everyone here?" Tanong nya. They nod so she set aside her emotions.

"Okay. Let's start with the financial crisis." Ani nya.

Tumayo ang babaeng puno ng kolorete ang mukha at may isinalpak sa projector.

"Few weeks ago, we noticed that our financial needing was decreasing due to an uncertain thing. We tried to figure it out but we can't pinpoint the exact reason." Panimula nito.

Hmmm. Direct to the point. She like it.

"And?"

"Some in our group thought that this is because of our new release product. And it affects our financial service."

"That's it?" Walang buhay na tanong nya. Tumango ang babae.

"Are you stupid or what?" Napayuko ang babae sa sinabi nya.

"How come the CFO didn't even think that the cause of our financial crisis is because you guys put too much cost on it." Inis na sabi nya. Kinunutan sya ng noo ng babae.

"You said the new release of product affects our financial needed, right?" Tumango ang babae. "How much is it?"

"It is Php. 320,050 in total."

"That's it! Did you even think that other people can afford buying that? Think about those people who wish to buy yet they can't because of the price."

Damn! Are they stupid? Ang simpleng problema, pinapalaki nila.

"But.. It's the lowest amount we can give." Kontra ng babae.

"Lowest amount? Seriously? It can be bought by only Php. 16,000 yet you tell me that this is the lowest discount you can make?" Galit na sabi nya.

"Sacrifice the airplane part." Ani nya.

"I beg your pardon Ma'am?" Nagtatakang saad ng babae.

"Last year, this company made a hundred airplane that causes a fortune right? Drop that. If you can sell a product that cost fortune, why not make the most out of it? Instead of selling and building an airplane which cost a fortune, why not transpose its used and money to our new product and sell it in a low price? That would be a big improvement to our company and surely the buyers would love it." She explain but still look emotionless.

Nagkatinginan ang mga shareholders at leader ng mga department. Myracle's right. If they would stick to selling and building an airplane, how could they increase the financial needed?

"B-but.." nilingon ni Myracle ang babae na mukhang kontra sa sinabi nya.

"What? Any other questions?" Asik nya.

"A-ahm.. AC company is one of the big company here in the Philippines and our biggest popularity and influence to social media is the airplane project wh---" pinutol ni Myracle ang sasabihin ng babae.

"Which do you concern of? The popularity and influence or our financial needed and improvement of our company?" She coldly said.

Hindi nakasagot ang babae sa tanong nya. "See? You can't answer my question. Ace's Secretary told me that this meeting is about the financial crisis and the selling of our new release product. But all you care is about the money and money itself. Am I right?" She said.

Napayuko ang babae sa sinabi nya. It's true. All she want is the money.

Binalingan ni Myracle ang mga shareholders na naatasan sa paggawa ng bagong produkto.

"Any problem with the new product?" Tanong nya.

Sabay-sabay na umiling silang lahat na parang na solve na ang problema. Napataas ang kilay nya.

"So why are you all here?"

"You solve it already Ma'am. We're here to report the problem which is the new release product affects the financial crisis. And base on what you said, we really should drop our airplane project because it used too much money." Nakangiting saad ng may katandaang babae.

"So, this meeting is about how to solve the problem this company' facing?"

Tumango silang lahat. "And because of what you said, we already know what to do." Nakangiti nilang sabi.

Well, she's pretty smart right? Actually it's just a joke when she said the 'sacrifice the airplane part'. She didn't know that they will approved it.

Well, what's done is done. She hope Xenon will not be angry.

"Then, the meeting is over. You may go now." Saad nya at nauna nang umalis.

Pagkaalis nya ay nag-usap ang mga shareholders at department leaders.

"Boss has really have a good taste." Mr. Arnuldo said. One of the shareholder.

"She just solve our problem like its a piece of cake. Ugh! I'm older than her and have the most experience yet I didn't even think what she said." Pagtatampo ng may katandaang babae.

"Ganyan talaga kapag tumatanda na Persea." Pang-aasar ni Mr. Guevarra. Computer Department's leader.

Inirapan ito ng matanda. "Nagsalita ang mas matanda pa saakin." At nagbangayan na sila na parang bata.
