The Unmarried Billionaire (Dangerous Man Series) (Boyxboy)

Chapter 8

Tumayo ako upang ipakita ang aking manners since pareho naman kaming CEO nito.

"Thank you Dona for leading Mr. Consolasyon here. You may go now." Saad ko kay Dona na tinanguan lang nito saka lumabas ulit ng opisina ko.

"Good morning Mr. Consolasyon. Have a seat." Bungad ko ditohabang itinuturo ang isang sofa type ng upuan sa loob ng office ko. It is intended for my guest with higher positions in the business world.

"I believe we already know each other Mr. Kazuma. So there's no need to have this conversation long." Kung gaano ka cold ang boses ko ay ganun din ito. But, the way he looked at me, I can sense a bit of sarcasm and mockery. And I definitely don't back down.

"Yes I sure know we do. So could you point out directly your reason for being here?" Tanong ko sabay sandal ng likod ko sa back rest ng single seater sofa. Ganun din ang ginawa nito at mariing tumitig sa aking mata. Tila sinusuri ang kailaliman ng mga sikreto ko.

"Hmm well, I came here to know why you cancel the scheduled meeting which your secretary requested from us." Direktang tanong nito.

"Ahhh yun lang pala ang pinunta mo dito. I cancelled it for some personal reasons." Sagot ko dito.

"And that personal reason is a meeting of merger of your company to a low ranking industrial firm?" Ngumisi ito at tila ba iniinsulto ang naging desisyon ko sa pagpasok sa zeetrip firm.

I just grinned back as if to complement his insults.

"There is nothing wrong in having a merger with a firm that has a lot of potential to grow and be successful." Nakangisi ko paring sagot ng hindi nagpapatinag sa aming titigan. His petty gestures won't intimidate me.

"Are you saying that my company who have been on top among my competitors doesn't have the potential that you are looking for? Mas gusto mo yung wala pang napapatunayan kesa sa may napatunayan na? What a risky businessman you are." Pangiinsulto padin nito sa akin. Napatawa ako ng marahan sa mga tinuran nito. Such a lowless idiot who doesn't have any idea of hard work.

"Tsk tsk. Mr. Consolasyon, everything in this world is just an opportunity. Every actions and decisions we had is a risk to take. Plus the fact that I did not just earned the position that I have now from my father or any ancestors. All of these came from the success that was brought about by the risk and hardship that I have taken from the past. Eh ikaw, Mr. Consolasyon, have you had you fair share of risk and hardship taken from your past?" Pangiinsulto ko ding balik dito. Hinding hindi na ito makakasabat dahil alam kong wala naman talaga itong ginawa kundi manahin lang ang lahat ng yaman mula ama nito.

Kita ko ang pagkawala ng ngiti mula sa labi nito at napalitan ng seryosong mukha. Tila naman nagalak ako sa nakitang pagbabago nito.

At least I still manage to bully someone at this age of mine. Akala ko di ko na kayang mambully.

"Quite the words there Mr. Kazuma. Let me just remind you that my father and yours are very good friends." Seryosong saad nito.

"Ahh yeah I do acknowledge their friendship. But, unfortunately my dad has nothing to do with my company at lalo na ang tatay mo." Nakangisi ko pading sagot. Tumawa nalang ito ng may pagkasarkastiko at pilit tinatago ang pagkainis.

"Okay then, I guess, I can't have a deal of merger with your company." Saad nito na kinangisi ko nalang. Yun pala talaga ang pakay nya. Ang kunin ang loob ko para makipagmerge sa kumpanya nya.

"Sorry but no." Nakangiti kong sagot.

"Well, at least I have your girl." Ngiting insulto nitong saad. That hit me. Totoo ngang nasa kanya ang babaeng nangakong magpapakasal sa akin. Ang babaeng pinag alayan ko ng puso at buhay ko. Pinag alayan ko dati.
