My Lady Boss

chapter 24

Third Person's POV
Candice Problem

  Okey this is freaking the hell out of me. Akala ko nakawala na ako but i guess not. "Hi Candice you look gorgeous tonight" ang kapal ng mukha "I always know that. Are you stalking me? " tumaas ang kilay ko dito umiling ito and she just chuckle "Feelingera ka din pala Candice. I'm with Ivan" ay oo nga pala ang tanga mo Candice promise.

Kung tatanungin nyo I attended the party I'm not alone actually. " You're excuse sucks Naomi."aalis na sana ako nang hawakan niya ako sa braso "We're not yet done talking Candice" napalingon ako sakanya "Seriously i have very important matters to take so please let go "I emphasizes every words she pauses for a second "Okey maybe next time we could talk privately " makahulugan niyang sambit she winked at me playful na siyang ikinatindig balahibo ko. Dali Dali akong umalis nang di sinasadyang mauntog ako sa matipunong katawan "Sorry" a manly voice said i look up to him "Fin" i mutter nagulat din ata ito kaya agad na ngumiti sakin "Candy!? Wow long time no see lesbo!" pang-aasar nito sakin i gave him a death glare at hinampas ko ito sa braso "You pig.. Is that how you greet me" he just gave me a teasing laugh "Oh come on Candy i know your past and i saw it earlier" arggh~ seriously bakit ako lagi ang nabubully Am I that weak? "Move on Fin that was the biggest mistake i have ever done and i was not in my mind that time" pagrarason ko "Okey okey I'm sorry pikon agad" he surrendered marunong siyang magtagalog actually lahat naman sa angkan namin. "I miss you Candy"sabay yakap nito sakin "I miss you too Fin. " sweet naman talaga ang kolokoy na to siya rin ang pinaka close ko sa magkakapatid. "You look pretty tonight atleast you became a total woman "ayan na naman siya sa pang-iinis sakin "Stop it Fin before i tell your little secret" i grin nagpoker face naman ito agad.

"I heard you're Elliott's boss before" Nasa hardin kame ngayon nagpapahangin di ko nahagilap sina Cecile "Yeah, how is he? " i asked.

"Well, he is clumsy and untrusted until he proves himself to us"comment nito i sigh "Eliott is a guy who looks stupid nerd but he is responsible enough to handle his task i assure you that" pag garantee ko then i smile timidly while looking around "Is it okey if he resigns to your comapny and be Shontelle's permanent secretary? " actually gusto kong ipagdamot si Elliott he became a part of my company for years "Malaking kawalan siya sakin Fin. And if you'll ask me i don't want him to leave. " i sip on my  whiskey i know he gaze at me "Lance will take him and  assign him to be a permanent secretary of Shontelle and you can't stop it. You need to let go  in order for you to move on"

Let go? Seryoso ba talaga siya?  "Enought for that words kota na ako sa move on na yan letse" i annoyingly retorted

He tap my shoulder "Sorry Candy but Lance already decided talk to him if you want. Unless you already have something for him" then he left me the last word struck me i bit my lowerlip.

The next day i went to Lance office "Lance" i greet "What brought you here Candice? " he gestured me to seat.

"I'll be straight. Its about Elliott" i said napahinto ito sa pagoirma ng papeles "What about him? " he asked. "Is it true that you'll take him personally to work for Shontelle? " i lean on the chair at nag cross legs he nodded "Yes, I'm sorry if we didnt inform you. I just hope you understand. " di ako nagsalita I admit parang mahirap siyang tanggapin maninibago ako.

"Shontelle needs him trust me Candice" he looks at me i Know Lance he can predict everything.

"Fine but he needs to formally resign in my company so I'll expect him three days from now" i unwillingly said

"Thank you Candice" tumingin ito sakanyang relo "its almost lunch let's eat? " yaya nito agad din siyang tumayo "I have -- " di ko natapos sasabihin ko ng hilahin niya ako sa kamay para lumabas "We still have one hour cous" loko din ang isang to eh "Hey, walk slowly can't you see i'm wearing my heels and I didn't say yes yet" pagpupuniglas ko rito

"Are you hungry? "

"Yes"

"Then its a yes"He was referring to my question earlier. Aist mautak talaga ang gago na to.

"Can you tell me of all people who are good you  still choose Eliott" nasa isang fine restaurant kame na pag-aari nila "Its a secret" he said.

"Shut up Lance just spill it" nainip naman ako tahimik itong kumakain pero nahinto din "Shontelle is engaged with Ivan" anunsyo nito "Yeah i heard about it. What's with that issue" i curiously asked.

"I don't know his plan but Ivan is a greed man he is hungry of power and that makes him dangerous"

"So you mean to say that there is a tendency that Ivan will use Shontelle to become powerful? "

"definitely" Sabi ko na nga ba eh.

"Once the seal is broken everyone in our clan will be in danger.Ivan is a wise man and I know Naomi is around you " i was quite surprise with the revelation medyo kinabahan ako to think they are just around and anytime they could kill us.

Napalunok ako "Then what shall we do Lnace" ngumiti ito ng tipid. "Don't worry we're on track as long as shontelle won't do anything stupid about that old siege" tukoy niya kay Lolo isa din yun sa problema namin ang matandang yun.

"What if we'll do the first move of eliminating them? " i suggested umiling ito "Its not easy as you think Ivan is the second leader of yakuzas and The oldman is the head of it plus the mafias that they are into " Lance has the point there konektado sila sa mga goons.

"Don't worry i'll sort out things just be careful. " he said. Lance is caring dati pa pero di lang niya pinapahalata.
