"Napatunayan nang hindi nag eexport ng droga ang shoe manufacturing nyo."
my private investigator said
I leaned on my seat and keep squeezing the blue ball in my hand
"Naicheck naman ang lahat ng CCTV na yun that time diba?"
"Yes boss.."
"at walang nakitang kahit ano?"
"wala."
I nodded
"hmm I want you to investigate all the employees again and if you found something malicious while investigating report it to me ASAP."
"You can count on me boss."
"Good."
I took a deep breath and close my eyes, ugh Ilang taon na pero hindi parin nahuhuli ang mga may gawa nito
Namatay nalang si Lolo ng ito parin ang pinoproblema, this shoe company is my grandpas father's business na ipinamana sakanya kaya Hanggang ngayon ipinaglalaban parin namin ang reputation ng company dahil mahalaga ito kay Lolo
bakit kasi ang tagal lumaki ni Lorraine, hays ang hirap mag isang mamoblema
when my private investigator gone, I check all the new papers in my desk
3rd year College Students of Chankimha University whos going to do a 600 hours of practicum in different companies of Chankimha
"Mari." I called my secretary
"Yes Sir?"
"Why these papers is in my table? hindi ba dapat iba ang gagawa nito?" I asked her madly
I look at her and she looks so scared, 2 weeks palang simula ng imanage ko lahat dito sa pinas eh puro problema na, at pansin kong mas distant ang mga employee dito unlike sa england na confident approacher and they know what to answer immediately if I asked something.
"A-ah k-kasi boss ahm-"
I sighed heavily
"Relax Mari I'm not mad, Talk properly."
she nodded
"You're the only one who knows where the other businesses of the Chankimhas here in the Philippines sir, Just separate who's going to OJT example assign 10 students here and devide it in different department."
Napatango ako
kaya naman pala..
I opened the folder and The 1st thing I saw is
[ Monica Patrice Armstrong, The Top 1 student that Consistently in the Honors list of BSBA Major in Accounting.]
OH Jesus!
chineck ko pa lahat ng papel at 150 students sila
"Oh baby you're always destined to be mine, don't you?" I said while caressing my thumb on her cheeks in the picture
"S-Sir? Kinakausap nyo po ba ako?"
Naisarado ko agad ang folder at tiningnan sya ng masama
"Do I look like talking to you?"
"A-h I'm sorry sir."
"Get me some Ice coffee please? I want Cappuccino."
"I thought you only want is Black coffee without sugar?"
I smiled at her sweetly
"Mari.. I said Ice coffee not. hot. coffee."

"What did I told you last night? I remind you that you need to behave there right?"
"I'm sorry mommy."
"Tsk³ look oh! you hurt yourself what if you fell somewhere that might harm you more?" sermon ko sakanya
"Mom it was an accident."
"Accident because your not following moms rule, if you're in the other houses or outside our house, you need to becareful and behave yourself."
Now she can't go to school because her knee is in pain hindi lang sugat dahil namamaga na
"Hay naku mon, accident nga eh, at FYI she's still 4 normal lang na ma overwhelmed sya at makipaglaro ng sobra." singit ni yuki
"I'm sorry mommy."
umupo si Mia galing sa pagkakahiga at niyakap ako
I look at her and she's using her puppy eyes again
"You know that mommy always hate this because I don't want you to get hurt." I hug her back and baby talk to her
kaya siguro nabangungot ako kahapon ay dahil may mangyayari nga
"OA kana mon, this is a normal thing especially if you're a kid."
"Okay then Mia is not on the list, Yuki mamamatay ako pag mas higit pa natamo nito."
She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows
"Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako maiingit, gusto ko naba magkababy dahil sa kacute-an ni Mia O gusto nalang kita maging mommy, my god my mother is a monster when I was young."
I burst out laughing
"Eh pano ba naman ang sabi ni tita sobrang likot mo noon at tigas ng ulo kaya minsan napapalo-"
"Sige nga If si Mia yung nasobrahan ng likot, papaluin mo ba?."
I shook my head and frowned, my god never, naalala ko nanaman tuloy yung panaginip ko kahapon, hays...
"See? my mother is a monster but I love her, hahah don't tell her okay?" tawang tawa na sabi nito
"Hmm then I will." Biglang sagot ni Mia
oh damn
batok ni mommy matatamo ko nito.

I chuckled

"Hi beautiful."
Napahinto ako sa pagkain ng makitang nasa harapan ko na si allen at inilapag ang isang red na paper bag with chocolate and flowers nanaman for sure
"What?"
"Masama bang lapitan ka?"
"Oo."
"Hays Mon minsan nalang nga ako lumalapit since ayaw mo sakin."
"Don't worry I will accept that." sabi ko
"Oh goods tayo jan, geh have a nice day." sabi nito at naglakad na paalis
I sighed and look at the paper bag

Nandito ako sa opisina ni dad at ikwinento lahat ng nangyari sa party since hindi sya nakapunta at si Mommy lang
"Mon always saying she's still inlove with Sam, pano kung magkagusto sya sa freen na yun?"
Dad burst out laughing
"Dad I'm serious."
"Eh pano ba naman kasi napakabagal mo, parang kang pagong, bakit hindi mo gayahin si Jihan? Mosco already love him."
"Ginagawa ko naman lahat dad."
"No, Not everything, sabi ko kasing magpalakas ka dun sa anak, baka maunahan kapa ng freen na yun kung sakali, tandaan mong maraming nag kakagusto kay mon at hindi malabong magustohan rin sya ng freen na yun."
"Anong gagawin ko kay Mia?"
"Kausapin mo, O mag suggest ka na willing ka maging daddy nya."
"Mon don't allow everyone to talk about the daddy word to Mia."
"And break it, be brave son at kung sakaling si Mia mag suggest sakanya baka makapag isip isip sya, yung anak nalang ang alas mo, gawin mong future xei yung bata not future Chankimha."
Dad laughed again and tapped my arm

Coming
"Mari!"
I roamed my eyes in my office and I realized that my office is not in a good state right now
Napasapo ako sa noo ko
"Mari!" tawag ko ulit
Lumabas nako ng opisina pero wala sya, nataranta ako bigla at pumasok sa Janitors area at kumuha ng vacuum
bullshit
tumakbo ako papasok sa office at inarrange ang mga librong napanghulog ko kanina dahil sa kabusy
Inayos ko rin yung mga unan sa Couch sa gilid at mga papers sa desk ko
Iinvite invite kasi tapos hindi prepared
ugh
I start brooming around at pinaandar narin yung automatic vaccum sa sahig
I check my phone at wala ng ibang text galing kay mon
coming?
malapit naba sya?
"Here Ma'am he's waiting for you."
biglang bumukas ang pinto ng office ko kaya nabitawan ko ang broom na hawak ko at bumagsak toh sa sahig
dahil sa pagbagsak ng broom sa sahig ay biglang nagkatinginan kaming tatlo
"S-Sir?" Mari said like she's wondering where on earth am I? that I am the one who's doing the janitors job
I take a deep breath and smile
"Next time text me with full details mon." I said.
