DEATH |Deathly Fate Series 3|

Death 🔸 18

Raven's POV

NARATING na namin ang conference room at nagsitayuan kaagad ang lahat upang batiin si Vander. Lahat sila ay hindi ko kilala ng personal, pero naaalala ko na naimbestigahan ko na rin sila. Most of them are from the accounting office.

"Good morning, Mr. Cambridge." Bati ng lahat kay Vander. Dumako naman ang tingin nila sa akin at alam ko na nagtataka sila kung sino ako. Hindi nila ako nakikita sa kompanya, dahil una, bago lang ako dito at hindi naman ako naglilibot sa kompanya.

"Give me the explanation, how the hell this happened?" Malagom na tanong ni Vander and the temperature inside the conference room dropped down to several degrees. "The reports that I received was fabricated! It was falsify! Tell me or you won't like what will I do to all of you!"

If I am just an ordinary person, I will already cower in fear. His anger is not just simple and threatening. He means it and his aura is leaking right now. If his anger will go further, he can kill.

"S-sir. W-we really don't know—"

"—how can you not know when you are the one counting the profit?! It's clear that this started a year ago and no one checked it! I am paying you to do your job but you did not!" Galit na sigaw ni Vander. Walang nagtangka na magsalita, lahat ay nakayuko at nanginginig. "Are you just receiving my money, without doing your job properly?"

Mas takot kami sir Kay sir Davidson. Hawak niya ang buhay ng pamilya ko.

Napamata ako dahil sa nabasa ko iyon sa isa sa mga naririto sa loob ng conference room. Napatingin ako kay Vander at tumingin din siya sa akin, senyales na narinig niya rin iyon.

Mukhang tinatakot sila ni Davidson para manahimik. Pero hindi ko akalain na mas takot pa sila sa isang ordinaryong tao lang, at hindi kay Vander na kayang gawin kahit ano pa.

"I'll do this." Turan ko kay Vander dahil mas natatakot ako dahil baka magwala na ito ngayon dito.

Napahilamos naman ng palad si Vander at umatras ito at ibinigay sa akin ang pwesto. Lumapit ako at humarap ako sa kanilang lahat. Everyone was eyeing me with confusion, kung sino ba ako at kung bakit nandito ako.

"I already reviewed the statement of accounts for the past years. We found out that the discrepancies started a year ago. A certain person has both the falsified document and the original. Each month, we are losing—"

"Who are you to speak about the companies profit, when you are not part of it?" Singit ng isang matandang babae na mula sa accounting department.

"And you are?" Tanong ko sa kanya. I don't like being interrupted. Kaya kahit matanda ito ay hindi ko ito mapapalampas.

"I am Marinella De Jesus, senior analyst from accounting department." Pagmamalaki nito sa akin. It's obvious that she's questioning my report.

"Mrs. De Jesus, you are from Mexico?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Her beauty is Mexican somehow. I remember her profile when I heard her lastname. She's the only De Jesus in the company.

"I am." Sagot nito sa akin.

"How long have you been in the company?" Tanong ko ulit sa kanya.

Kumunot naman ang kanyan noo. "Why are you asking? You are not answering my question, lady—"

"You're fired." Saad ko na lang rito. Nakita ko sa kanilang mukha ang gulat.

Hindi naman nagulat si Vander, nakikinig lang siya at nakatingin sa mga ginagawa ko.

"W-what? Who are you to fire me? You are not my boss!" Galit na saad ni Mrs. De Jesus. "I've been in the industry for thirty years! You can't remove me—"
