My Sweet Karma

Chapter nine

She is free

Nasa opisina ngayon si Lucas at tinatapos balikan ang kontrata with Montejos Producers. Ngayong araw din kase nakaset ang meeting ng mga ito na ilang beses na ring nacancel dahil na rin sa mga nakita nyang lapses ng kontrata. Nais kaseng makipag partnership ng Montejos Producers sa Argyros Corp bilang isa sa mga supplier ng raw materials na ginagamit nila sa mga produktong ineexport nila.

Maya maya pa ay iniluwal ng pinto si Eric. May inilapag itong folder sa kanyang mesa at nakangiting sinabing... Mission accomplished! But please before you read that, hear me out first. Andrew Montejos called me a while ago and he said they'll be here later at 4pm.

They? takang sagot ni Lucas.

Yes, him, his father and his younger sister who's taking her ojt in their company. He said they're starting to train her for the business. And from what i've heard, medyo brat yung sister nya but she's pretty though. And you might want to check on my report first, since connected lang naman si Ms. Robles sa mga Montejos. paliwanag ni Eric.

Hindi makasagot si Lucas kaya agad na inilabas ang profile ni Isabelle at sabay na binuklat kasama ang bagong folder na bigay ni Eric.

Fine naexcite ka na naman! I'll leave you muna dahil may kelangan akong kunin na mga papeles sa Finance Department. And you better be ready when i come back since we only have an hour before the Montejos arrive. sabi ni Eric saka dumiretso nang palabas ng opisinang yon.

Seryoso namang sinimulan ni Lucas ang pagbabasa ng dalawang folder. Maya maya pa ay napatigil sya at naalala ang pag uusap nila ni Nicolas kagabi.

Pare kilala mo pala si Ms. Robles? I saw you talking to her kanina sa parking lot before i came in. sabi ni Lucas.

Yeah pare, remember? Sila yung sinabi ko sa yong pinsan at kaibigan kong mag o ojt sa kumpanya mo. My cousin is Lea and my friend is Isabelle. sagot ni Nicolas.

Just friend? sarcastic ang pagkakatanong ni Lucas.

Nakuha naman ni Nicolas ang punto ni Lucas... Fuck off pare, please? Wag mo ng isali sa listahan ng mga pinaiyak mo si Isabelle. She is way so much nicer than all of your girls. Hindi siya yung tipong pang one night stand lang. medyo pikon na sagot ni Nicolas.

Whoa affected masyado dude! Hahaha... relax! But you know me pare, i don't go asking for a girl... they come asking for me... unless she is someone i'm really interested to. You know i can move mountains for her. nakatingin lang si Nicolas sa kaibigan, napapaisip din siya dahil totoo naman ang sinabi nito. Iba pag tinamaan si Lucas, and they all witnessed how he became a more serious man with Anika... and how devastated he was when he lost her. Could it be that Isabelle is the next Anika in his life?

So can we have a deal as bros? diretsong tanong ni Lucas habang naputol naman ang pag iisip ni Nicolas.

Deal? nagtatakang tanong ni Nicolas.

I am giving you one month, if you dont get her after a month i'll start courting her. What do you think? parang sigurado si Lucas na papayag si Nicolas.

Matagal bago nakasagot si Nicolas. Alam naman niyang wala na siyang pag asa kay Isabelle... pero hindi nya maaaring ibigay ng basta basta ito kay Lucas lalo na at alam niyang hindi pa ito fully recovered from Anika's death. He thinks somehow he needs to protect Isabelle from Lucas from being his rebound. Naisip nya bigla si Jake, if he won't win the girl's heart, then might as well give Jake a chance on his friend.
