Chapter 19
Lean POV
Tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa full body mirror, I made it sure that every angles of me would define perfect because tonight, Adé Lean Cassiopea will own the charity party, she will rise as the mysterious owner of ALC Company, I'm so excited to see the look of the people especially Gian and Kim.
Kalahating oras ang biyahe mula sa apartment ko papunta sa Fuentelord Hotel, sina Sebastian at Cyan ay may date at nauna na sa charity party, damn those traitors. Gusto raw nilang mapanood ang gagawin kong eksena mamaya sa party, I rolled my eyes. I have everything completely planned, sisiguraduhin ko na mapupunta sa akin ang gabi.
Tumigil sa entrance ng Fuentelord Hotel ang black limo na sinakyan ko, bumaba ang chauffer at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto, maraming mga tao sa labas ng hotel kaya naman ngumisi ako. Mukhang nagtataka sila kung sino ang taong nakasakay sa kotseng ito.
Una kong nilabas ang paa ko, showing off the pair of expensive crimson heels that is matched with my vintage red dress that spoke elegance and flawlessness, I flashed everyone my sweetest smile, I walked down to the red carpet and entered the hotel with style, mukhang maraming nagtataka kung sino ako. Well, they will soon find out the answers to their question.
Pinakita ko sa isang lalake ang invitation ko, the man eyed me first before letting me get inside the reception hall, mukhang mahigpit ang security ng charity party, dapat lang dahil lahat ng mga bigatin sa business world at showbiz ay andito.
I looked around and saw a lot of men gaping at me, it seems that they want to keep my company, mukhang masyado ata akong nasobrahan sa pagpapaganda at lahat ng mata ay sa akin nakasentro, tinignan ko ang paligid and my eyes landed on Sebastian and Cyan and the woman who is with them, umiling na lang ako, they seem to enjoy the night while here I am, alone.
"Lean..."
Tumingin ako sa likod ko noong marinig ko ang pamilyar na tinig na iyon, bumungad si Gian. He looked breathtakingly handsome in his tuxedo, with his naturally messy hair, he carried the aura that is drool-worthy, but not for me.
"Oh, Gian, ikaw lang pala." Ngumisi ako.
"Ano ang ginagawa mo sa charity party?" Kumunot ang noo niya.
I laughed at him, "I was invited, of course." Mukhang nagtataka siya kung saan ko nakuha ang invitation, am I not welcomed to his party?
"Who sent the invitations?" Takang tanong niya.
I smiled. "Sino pa ba? Of course it is you." He looked confused with my answer, I maintained my smile as I wait for the emcee to announce my presence. "Bakit hindi mo kasama si Kim?"
He raised an eyebrow, "nasa powder room."
Tumango lang ako, ang musika ay namatay, finally! Lumabas rin ang emcee, "now for the main part of the event, the ALC Company's owner finally decided to show herself on public!" Maraming suminghap at halatang na-excited, sino nga ba naman ang hindi magagalak? I will finally have my debut, this is history in the world of business.
"Now where is she?!" Sigaw ng emcee. I smirked as I walk, biglang may natutok na spotlight sa akin at suminghap ang mga tao, naglakad ako papuntang stage at tinignan ang public na halatang nagulat, tumingin ako kina Sebby at Cyan na halatang hinihintay ang susunod na gagawin ko, I eyed the crowd at ang spot kanina kung nasaan ako at nakita roon si Gian na halatang nagtataka kung bakit ako pumunta sa stage, kasama na niya si Kim so it was the perfect time to spill the beans...
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am Adé Lean Cassiopea, the owner of ALC Company."

Kim POV
My jaws dropped. Seryoso? Si Lean ang owner ng ALC Company?!
"Hindi maaari! Is this some kind of joke?!" Sigaw ko kaya naman napatingin ang lahat ng tao sa akin, tinuro ko ang babae sa harap. "You're an impostor! There's no way ikaw ang owner ng ALC Company!"
Tumawa ng marahan si Lean, "and how do you say that, Ms. Kimberly Crossford?" She mocked.
Hinawakan ni Gian ang kamay ko, "stop making scenes."
"No, Gian! Masyadong pabida ang Lean na 'yan! We need to put her to her respective place!" Inis na hiyaw ko, suminghap naman ang mga tao at maraming kumuha ng pictures at video sa nangyayari, "isa kang impostor!"
"Oh no, she isn't. Siya talaga ang may ari ng ALC Company." A guy defended, tumingin ako sa gilid at nakitang si Sebastian Fuentelord, ang pinsan ni Gian.
"Yup, she's the real owner." A guy countered, it was Cyan. Bakit kumakampi ang dalawang bigatin na mga lalakeng 'yan sa pekeng Lean na 'yan?!
"People, I know you're all shocked with all these revelations, but why don't we enjoy the night with a cheers?" Lean smiled as she showed a wineglass. "Cheers for ALC Company and for tonight!"
"Cheers!" Sagot naman ng mga tao, completely forgetting the real issue here.
Tumingin ako kay Gian, "she can't be the owner of ALC Company!" I shouted.
Hindi siya umimik.
"Well, say something, damn it!" Inis na hiyaw ko.
He shrugged. "I'm so full of your loud voice." Halata ang pagkaasar sa boses niya, "will you just shut your mouth?! Just shut it!"

Lean POV
I couldn't help but smirk, my plan was a success. Although wala akong ibang ginawa kundi ang ipakita at introduce ang sarili ko bilang owner ng ALC Company, nothing is better than the view of Kim getting frustrated like her dreams were just crashed in front of her face when she learns I am the owner of ALC Company.
Tinignan ko sina Cyan at Sebastian, "see, plan works."
Tumango sila, mukhang iniwan na nila ang date nila sa charity party ah. "It was the best movie I've watched, so far." Cyan commented.
"Now what's your next plan?" Sebastian asked.
Tumaas ang isang kilay ko at ngumisi na parang ito na ang pinaka-obvious na tanong, "enjoy the party, of course."
