Chapitre 5: Kabanata 3
Kabanata 3
Dahil wala sa bansa ang amang si Mike, walang ibang magagawa si Maxhien kundi ang patakbuhin ang negosyo nila. She need to create a new machine for their new set of creation for this year. Dalawang buwan na'din kasi simula ng makalabas na sya sa hospital.
Nasa Los Angeles ang ama nya para i-handle ang isa pa nilang negosyo doon. Her daddy can't shoulder all the estate they have, that's why she have to work too.
Bata pa'lang ito ay tinuruan na sya ng ama kung papaano magpatakbo ng tama ang kompanya nila. He even said that when the right time came, he will give all of his resources to her. Wala na kasi itong ibang mapagmamanahan.
At the age of 18, she started to handle their hospitals. Hindi ito naging madali dahil baguhan pa'lang sya. But little by little, her dad and his right hand teach her how should she handle it. And as time goes by, she can run the hospitals without asking Anthony and her father how. She's a fast learner. At nang mag graduate sya sa kursong konektado pa'din sa negosyo nila ay mas lalong bumigat ang mga iniha-handle nya.
Magkahati sila ng ama sa lahat ng mga negosyo nila. Kahit pa may mga business partners naman silang magaling mamahala ay hindi pa'din sila nagkakampante. It's way better to handle your business in your own than to shoulder it to someone who you don't know personally.
The doctor said that her new heart is adapting the new environment. Hindi na sumasakit ang dibdib nya kagaya ng dati. At pu-pwede na itong magtrabaho ulit para sa kompanya nila. Kaya kampante din ang ama nya'ng iwan sya rito sa pilipinas mag-isa.
Umilaw bigla ang kanyang tablet na nangangahulugang tumawag ang sarili nyang sekretarya. She roll her eyeballs upward and decline the call. She doesn't like to be Disturbed by others while working.
Patapos na ito ng biglang bumukas ang pinto ng working room nya. Because she's one of the creator of Vllnv Industry, then that means she have her own working room that is separated to others. She like to work alone with a song playing on the background.
Inilagay nya pabalik sa tool box ang star screw dahil sa pagpasok ni Thaddeus sa kwarto. Tinaasan nya ito ng kilay dahil sa biglaang pagbisita nito.
Humahangos ding nakasunod ang sekretarya n'yang si Paula sa lalaki. "Ma'am, sorry po. I tried to stop him-"
She cut her off. "It's okay, Pau. You can go back now. Ako na ang bahala sa kanya." Tumango ang kakawang sekretarya nito at umalis kaagad.
Tinignan nya ang lalaki na ngayon ay inaaliw ang sarili sa mga makinang nakaparada lang sa loob ng working room nya. Thaddeus is one of their rivals in the industry of making battle machines and guns and he's not allowed here. "Why are you here? Rivals are not allowed on my company. And why do you have Paula's ID card?"
Iilan lang ang mga taong nakakapasok doon dahil sa kagustuhan nya. Only her dad and Paula have the Id card she made.
Imbes na sumagot ay lumapit nalang ito sa ginagawa nya'ng makina dahilan para mas lalo syang mainis dito. Of course, she had the rights to be mad at him. He stole some of her client slowly while she's stuck in the hospital. Nabalitaan nya ito sa kanyang ama.
"So you're working about something new, Huh."
"You don't care, Montemayor. And give the Id card back to it's owner." Pambabara nya dito saka napaupo sa swivel chair at mataman itong tinignan.
She can't shove him away in their place. It's too unprofessional move. "The news is saying you have your new heart transplant."
Huh. Pumunta lang ba talaga ito para tanungin sya 'non? She can't believe him. Isa pa, alam nyang hindi ito basta basta lang dadayo sa kompanya nila ng walang kinakailangan.
"What do you need, Montemayor?" Naiinis nyang tanong dito.
Tumawa lang ito at saka naupo sa lamesang nasa harapan nya. "You really know me, Villanueva. By the way, I'm glad you have your new heart."
"Go straight to the point."
Montemayor is once a friend of hers. But time changes it. Because he stole something from her causing him a big boom to their company. At habang nangyayari iyon, ay paunti-unti naman silang lumulubog. That's the time that they work harder just to be back at the line again. And they make it.
They used to be the closest among all of their friends. Lahat ng mga bagay tungkol sa kanilang dalawa ay alam na alam nila maliban lang sa mga bagong pangyayari sa buhay nilang dalawa. She know how eager he is way back then. Mayaman na ang pamilya nila ngunit Gusto nyang patunayan sa ama na kaya n'ya din. And with that, he had the gut to betray and to steal the new plan she made.
"Untill now you're still mad at me, Villanueva? God, It happen long ago." Then he let a sarcastic laugh causing her to lose her temper.
"Hindi lang 'yun basta bastang mawawaglit sa isipan ko! If you doesn't have things to do here, then go home! Stop pestering me, Thaddeus Montemayor. You're wasting my time."
Tinaas ng lalaki ang mga kamay na nangangahulugang sumusuko na ito. He even laugh while staring at her pissed face. "Chill Ma' friend." He laugh again and point his finger to Maxhien.
"You doesn't change after all. You're still the Maxhien Jazzieh I know!"
Tinaasan nya ito ng kilay at saka tinuro ang pintuan papalabas sa working room nya. Kailangan pa kasi nitong tapusin ang nasimulan na nyang gawain. Tiyak masasayang lang ito kapag hindi nya tinapos.
"Go home, Thaddeus Imogen Montemayor or else I'll call the guards to drag you ass off on my company."
"Chill, Maxhien. Actually I'm here to discuss something new about you." Hindi nya pa'din ito pinaniwalaan at patuloy lang nakaturo ang hintuturo sa pinto. At sa marahas na nya na paraan ito tinuro.
"You probably know Marshall Morgan." Binaba nya nya ang kamay at masuring tinignan ang lalaking nasa harapan.
She doesn't trust him anymore. Matapos ang insedenteng iyon ay tinapos na nya lahat ng mga koneksyon nilang dalawa. Kahit pa matagal tagal din ang pinagsamahan nilang dalawa. Naging masakit din ito sa parte nya, he's a friend afterall. But he betrayed our family. Our name that time, he ruined it. Saad nya sa kanyang utak.
Tumawa ito ng marahan at naupo pabalik at walang ganang ini-posisyon ang braso sa likod ng swivel chair nya.
"I know Marshall Morgan, So what. So that you can use her name against me? For what, for ruining us again, huh, Montemayor?"
May dumaang emosyon sa mga mata nito. Ngunit nawala din ito kaagad at napalitan ng pagka-seryoso nito. "You doesn't trust me anymore, I see-"
"Who would trust you after betraying your friend?" Tawa tawang sagot nya dito. "No one, right?"
Mas lalong tumigas ang emosyon nito sa mukha at may kinuha sa bulsa nito. Nang mailapag nya ang bagay na iyon ay nag martsya ito papalabas. Ngunit kaagad na nagsalita si Maxhien upang mas lalong inisin ang binata.
"A flash drive. Let me guess, it contain the information about her. But at the same time it has a corrupt virus. So what again, So that you can get access to our computers? Very ruthless and clever, Montemayor."
Ngunit hindi nalang ito nagsalita at nagtuloy nalang sa paglabas. "Thaddeus!" She shout his name once again.
"What?"
"Give the Id card to it's owner. Baka pati 'yan nakawin mo. Kung sabagay, nagawa mo na 'yan noon, ngayon pa kaya?"
