"Gerald you have to leave them alone!" Sabi ng handler niya. "He's our boss! Don't gamble your career dahil sa selos mo! Matuwa ka na lang na masaya na si Sarah at naka move on na."
"What else did they take out?" He asked.
"They're gonna end your teleserye. Last week na ng shooting nyo. The majority is that the ratings are low. Tapos suspended ka sa ASAP until further notice. Hindi ka na kasama sa mga out of the country shows and concerts. At lastly nag pull out ang mga endorsers mo," explained ni Nhila.
"Fuck! Talagang ginagalit ako ng mayabang na yun!"
"Hinamon mo sya at sinubukan suntokin! That's your boss! Dapat nga termination ang gagawin sayo pero pinakiusapan ni Sarah na wag gawin sayo iyon!"
"What now? Anong gagawin ko?"
"You can continue your mga fundraising mo sa mga charity. Mag pa basketball ka ulit hangang matapos ang suspension mo at mga pending projects."
"Or I can just move to other network."
"Puede rin. Pero malalayo ka Kay Sarah. Pero okay na rin yun para wala ng gulo. It's up to you." Nhila said disappointed at her alaga. "Pag isipan mong mabuti. Or you can apologize to boss Richard and this thing will be over."
Natahimik si Gerald at napa isip.

"Richard!" She slammed the door opened in the conference room.
"Sorry sir. Ayaw mag pa piit," sabi ni Christine.
All the board members are looking at her.
"In your office," Sarah said.
"Sar-"
"NOW!!!" She yelled and left the room.
He sighed. "That would be all everyone. We can continue this tomorrow," Richard said.
Nag tayuan ang mga board members. Some of them are still fixing their papers. Richard slowly fixing his paperworks. He looked tensed and nervous.
"Relax hijo," said the oldest board member while standing up. "Konting lambing lang okay na yan."
"I have never seen her this mad,"
He said. "I'm scared."
Tawanan naman ang mga natitirang tao sa room. He slowly walked outside the conference room.
"Good luck sir," natatawang sabi ni Christine.
He took a deep breath before entering his office. "Honey..." He said in a sweet loving voice.
"I told you before not to stoop down to his level!" She said angrily. "Anong ginawa mo?! Tinangalan mo ng trabaho ang tao! He has a family Richard! Hindi mo ba iniisip yun?! Ghaaaad!!"
"I don't tolerate that kind of behavior, Piks," he calmly said.
"Give him back his job Richard! Sabi mo hindi mo sya ite-terminate!"
"Why do you care so much about him? Mahal mo pa rin ba sya?"
"Don't turn this around on me! Don't go reverse physiological on me! Just give him back his job!"
"Sarah, I just suspended him and held his other offer. Just teaching him a lesson not to cross me or you."
"Richard naman. Please. Ako na ang nakikiusap. Don't do this."
"Did he come to you and beg you to get his job back? Paano mo nalaman ito?"
She threw the newspaper at him. "And no, he did not contact me what so ever. Kilala ko si Gera-"
