MESSY
MAXELLA'S POV
"HOW old are you when you entered the Business World?"
I ask him. Habang abala sya sa pagluluto--as usual topless na naman. Nakaupo lang ako sa high chair dahil ani niya, siya na lang daw ang magluluto.
Nasa Living Room naman sina Wyx---nagkatuwaan. Kasama si Felexel.
Tinapunan niya ako ng tingin. "When I was fifteen years old. I was trained by my father childhood's friend."
"Seriously?"
Akmang magtatanong ako kung bakit di ang papa niya ang natrained sa kanya nang maalala ang kwento niya na binaril pala ang kanyang mga magulang.
"Yeah."
"You are very so young to have amassed such an empire." I admired him even more. "To what do you---"
"To what do I owe my success?" He raised his thick eyebrows.
Pinagsiklop ko ang aking palad at marahang tumango.
"Business is about people. And I've always been good at people. What motivates them, what incentives them,and what inspire them."
Ako na naman ngayun ang napaangat ang kilay. "Good at people,huh."
"Tss." I heard him hissed. "When I was young back then, I've always found that the harder I work,the more luck I seem to have. The key to my success has been in identifying talented individuals...and harnessing their efforts."
"So you're a control fr£ak?"
Well,I didn't doubt that.
Bahagyang umangat ang sulok ng kanyang labi. "Oh, I exercise
control in fvcking all things, wife."
Napatitig na lang ako sa hubad niyang likod. Pagkuwa'y tumikhim. D4mn his h0t body!
"Y-Your company is involved...primarily in the telecommunications sector,yet you also invest in numerous agricultural projects, including several in Asia..."
"Where did you get that fvcking information?" Humarap siya sa direksyon ko at sumandig sa may counter.
Todo iwas naman ang aking tingin. "I read it on the articles before."
I was force to read about Business matter. Kahit wala akong interest, tsk.
"Well, back to the topic. Is that something that you feel passionate about feeding the world's poor?" patuloy ko sa pagtatanong.
Saglit niya akong tinitigan. "It's a smart business. You don't agree?"
"I don't know enough about it... I just wonder if.. Perhaps your heart might be a bit bigger than you want to let on." I shrugged.
Tuluyan na siyang lumapit sa direksyon ko at itinukod ang dalawang palad sa lamesa. I saw his veins and how his muscles flexed the way he moved.
"There are some people who say that I don't have heart at all." His cold gaze directed at mine.
"Why would they say that?"
Di ko na kailangan pang magtanong ngunit di ko lang mapigilan... Kahit alam kona ang sagut.
"Because they fucking know me so well."
"Ako na ang maghahanda sa plato at kurbyertos." Basag ko sa saglit na katahimikan.
Ngunit bago paman ako makahanda ay nilapag na niya ang dalawang pinggan sa counter.
"Dito tayo kakain?" I asked.
