CHAPTER 4: Investigating their Background
Maxcell POV.
As we arrived in the restaurant at 1:30 in the afternoon, I immediately entered the restaurant and find Mrs. and Mr. Chu. I know Mr. Chu was too strict when it comes on time that’s why I am too guilty to myself for being late with this meeting especially this meeting is a very important in company. The Family Chu known as the most royal family and their business is a big help to our company if this meeting will be successful.
“Mr. Chu, I’m so sorry for being late. We know that we entrepreneurs do a lot of works in our office and by the way I have some brought with you Mrs. Chu. I know that you will like the gift of mine” paliwanag ko sabay ngiti. One of those techniques that you need to know to get your client is learn and study their likes in everything. This thing will help you.
“We understand Ms. Monteverde, Being a chief executive officer is not a joke position, right? But you handle it! That’s the reason why I insist my husband to take a risk with a share in our company to yours because I know that you’re a trusted person” Mrs. Chu said with amazement expression while looking at me.
“She’s right! That’s why when you offer us a contract, I never doubt to sign the contract because my I am fully trusted that you will handle our shares in a right hand” singit na salita naman ng kanyang asawa.
“Of course, Mr. Chu. You will never regret choosing Devilla Corporation” ngiting sagot ko. “Then can we start signing the contract?” pag – iiba ko ng usapan. Inabot ng aking sekretarya ang dalawang kontrata sa mag asawa upang ito’y permahan na siyang nagpapatunay na buo nilang binibigay ang bawat shares ng kanilang kompanya sa aming kompanya. Matagal ko ng nililigawan ang mag – asawang ito at ngayon ko lamang nakuha ang kanilang mga kamay. Mahirap ligawan at kunin ang tiwala ng mga Chinese kaya pinag aralan ko at inisip ang pwedeng gawin upang kunin ang kanilang loob at ngayon masasabi kong checkmate!
Hours passed by as we talked about business matters kahit paulit – ulit ay sumasabay ako sa kanila. Pinapakitang interesado sa mga kwento kahit inip na inip na ako sa kakaupo but I need to look like I am interested with their thoughts and stories. Matapos ng mahabang usapan ay nagpaalam ako sa mag – asawa pagkatapos ay lumabas ng restaurant kasama ang aking sekretarya.
“Si manong Secio na ang maghahatid sayo sa opisina. Dito ako sasakay sa pulang kotse” sabi ko kay karen. Karen De los Santos was my 4 years secretary. Kahit bigyan mo ng malaking halaga ay di mo siya makukuha because her loyalty was paided by the Monteverde.
“Mag ingat po kayo Madam” ngiting sabi sa akin. Umiwas na ako ng tingin at muling tumingin sa driver.
“Manong pagkatapos mong ihatid si Karen paki uwi ng kotse sa mansion. Kaya ko na mag-maneho nito” utos ko sa driver.
Lumapit ako sa pulang kotse kong saan bumaba ang isa ko pang driver at sumabay sa isang kotse na aming dinala papunta dito.
As I get inside at the driver seat of my Red Luxury Sports Car, I start the engine and set with the of speed of 100 mph. After thirty minutes I arrived in my destination. I parked my car on the front of the house where everyone called hides out. Yes! A hide out where we meet and planned about the things that the group need to do.
“Queen!” isang babaeng tumawag sabay tayo na siyang nagpakuha ng atensiyon ng lahat ng tao sa loob ng bahay na ito. Tumingin ang isang babae na sa kanyang tabi sabay titig sa akin ng seryoso.
Princess Faith Buenavides, a young lady who have an innocent eye but be careful of that eyes because she can manipulate you until she get her intention on you using her innocent eyes. Janice Alcantara, my side kick. My second trusted person and the one who always my presentative. Sa grupo walang nakakaalam kong sino ang totoong leader at humahawak ng grupo. Napagdesisyonan kong walang magsasabi at walang magpapaalam kung sa gayon ay wala silang makukuhang impormasyon o alas pag nagkagipitan. I also decided to hide my identity to protect my reputation in the company and with this group. Delikado ang pinasukan ko dahil bawat taong nakakaharap at nakakabangga ko ay pwede nilang gamitin bilang kahinaan ko. So I choose to change my identity for the sake of my people and with my girls.
Yuki Chua Lachica, half Chinese and Filipina. Her Father was a Chinese business man while her mother was a pure filipino citizen. Pagdating sa pera siya ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko. Lumaki si Yuki sa pamilyang taga hawak ng pera dahil bata palang ito ay ipinalaki at tinuruan pano humawak ng pera kaya malaki rin ang tiwala ko sa kanya. Napalingon ako sa likod ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan. The twins where I always feeding on a ring battle because of their skills and knowledge by observing the actions of their enemies. Zyliree and Dysiree Acuesta.
Umupo ako sa isang upuan na palagi kong inuupuan sabay kuha ng wine na siyang kanilang iniinom sa mesa.
“Queen, what is the reason why you called all of us?” putok ng katahimikan na sabi ni Faith.
“Did Zyliree didn’t tell what’s the news?” sagot ko sabay tingin sa kambal
“I’m sorry for not telling all of you” sagot ng kambal. Akin itong tinarayan sabay taas ng kilay sa kanilang dalawa.
“That’s why Queen called our presence because, there is a group send us again an invitation. Invitation to fight for a battle worth of 100 thousand pesos” paliwanag ng kambal sa lahat. Tahimik lamang ako habang pinaglalaruan ang wine.
“And who’s that group you are discussing?” kahit kailan ay mataray talagang magsalita si Yuki.
“The Black Dragon” sagot nito na siyang napalingon ako kay Janice dahil sa kanyang pagtayo
“Are you familiar with them?” seryoso kong tanong
“I’m not but I heard that name” tipid nitong sagot sa malamig na boses
“I called Deferson to investigate them. Yuki, you will be the one who will companion with Deferson. All information you get to that group get it. I want to know all about that Black Dragon Group” utos ko sa kanya sabay tingin ng seryoso.
“And the rest?................. Train yourselves for a battle” pagtatapos ko.
Pagkatapos kong magsalita ay walang umimik kahit isa kaya tumayo ako at pumunta ng itaas upang magpahinga. Naiwan ang buong grupo sa baba. Wala na akong pakialam kong ano ang mga pag – uusapan nila pagkatapos kami mag usap dahil ngayon isa lang ang naiisip ko. Ang matuklasan ang grupong Black Dragon.
