"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
It's such a pain in my ass. What I don't like the most is people who are careless and didn't do their job well. When you do something wrong, all you will ask for is forgiveness and patience. Well, people cannot say no to an apology. Especially when there are many people. It's embarrassing to make a scene. "No, it's fine." I smile sweetly and remove the wallet, pouch, and essentials from my bag. I must thank myself for the fact that I always bring some reusable bags so that, in case of an emergency, I am always ready. "You can have my bag." My cheeks felt like they were going to tear in annoyance because my Louis Vuitton bag was covered in warm espresso. This is my favorite. Not the latest model, but the price is twice as much as the newest model. I love vintage items; I usually use them and smell them when I am stressed or facing problems in my life. "Ma'am, I'm sorry." I'm still wiping up the spilled espresso in my bag. I'm trying my best to play it cool, even though I want to hit him with my bag. "Take the bag or I'll hit you until it breaks," I whisper, still smiling. It's hard to be a plastic creature; it's chilling. "Ma'am?" "Alright, I'll hit you." She ran and hugged the bag. At least, any woman would be annoyed. It's like my bag was deliberately closed. I stood up and pulled down my shades, leaving the 1,000 peso bill there. Just in case he doesn't have laundry detergent for the bag I gave him. When I came out of the coffee shop, I bumped into the woman in the neon green dress. The fuck is an eyesore; it's like a disco ball that will be hung later because the studs on her dress are still shining. The fuck, it looks like Karen to me. "Oh, Athanasia!" I forced a grin. Who the fuck is this freak? He is too ugly to be my friend. "Hi?" I said awkwardly, How can you talk to someone ugly? Help! I wish I wouldn't be infected by its ugliness. "I can't believe I will see you here after you engage with Leto; I saw you with him in LA last week. You came home so fast; I thought you got married in LA." She asked, and my chest heaved when she said, LA, and am I included? How can I go with the village wart when we are enemies? This is ugly, woman. I don't even know her, then how did she get on the plane? As far as I know, animals are not allowed to board the plane. I must ask Kuya Mage about this awesomeness. "Who are you again? I'm sorry. I have a hangover. My vision is still a bit blurry." I apologize, but it's the truth. My vision is blurred by the ugly ones. So my vision blurred, and automatically something ugly appeared. "Leticia Toress, your classmate at Lasalle." I act like that because I remember her, well, a little. The feeling-rich kid from Quezon City, who was our classmate back then. "Yeah, nice to meet you again. Well, I have an emergency meeting here. Kuya Mage can't handle all the worries from his office, so there's still plenty of time for the honeymoon." My face almost cries from annoyance and smile. "I have to go, thanks." I was kissed suddenly, and it was as if I froze where I was standing. What the heck! The frog kissed me. Oh my god, I'm going to faint. "See you!" She passed me, then I quickly ran to the ladies' room to wash my face. What the hell, later I will be infected by her poverty. Why do I have to associate with that smelly creature? "This is fucking crazy," I groaned and washed my face; thank god I wasn't wearing an expensive dress. I just want to have coffee, and that's it; I'm very unlucky. After wiping, I took out my phone and dialed Leto's number. I look at the lock screen of my phone, and I feel the sting in my chest. The pain feels like I'm being squeezed in my chest by too much weight and pain. In five more months, Leto and I will get married. Why are we still enemies like this? He is my life; I plan my whole life with him. Papa and mama said that Leto is a good man. We agreed and made peace; he is my first and my last; I hope so. I don't believe in the humpbacked frog that uses a crocodile skin bag. Like how Leto can't fool me. I gave it all, and we got engaged. Maybe he only did that because he was jealous that Leto and I's engagement was the highlight of the whole news. Until now, Del Russo incorporated has been the powerhouse company. "Come on, baby," I whispered, taking a deep breath. The pain is because he can tolerate me. He has been ignoring me for two months. If my call rings, he will answer me. "The number you have is unavailable." "You're nice, Leto. I wish you could cut your dick is freaking small!" Irritated, I dropped the phone in the eco bag. And the sound crackled after I dropped it. "Fuck." I breathe deeply while my eyes are closed. Guess why I'm so unlucky this year. "Fuck you! Argh," I groaned and jumped; I was wearing shades so that no one could see my eyes because I couldn't help but tear up and get pissed off. First my bag, second I saw something ugly, third the assumptions of the human frog creature, four more I was harassed by that dirty shit and lastly my phone! "I fucking hate this day!" I was still jumping in annoyance. "What are you looking at?" The woman I yelled at ran away, and I caught her because she looked at me. I brushed my hair and walked out of the ladies' room. I'm wearing my sweatpants and sports bra. Flip flops and shades I usually wear this kind of outfit when I'm too lazy to dress up, and I don't want to look like a perfect beauty who knows nothing but being a good daughter. I'm elegant, timid, and sweet. When needed, my image in public is that of a sweet and obedient daughter of Caesar and Natasha. They are very lucky with their son, who is very responsible. They just thought I was nice; they didn't know that I was an older cousin and sister to my cousins and siblings. I stopped at the pink shop and bit my lips. I saw a mutual business partner, Go-Noringco, I guess.Navi and I are sitting now and waiting for the attorney he hired for the case. There is an arrest warrant, and the police are currently looking for the manager. Today the attorney will talk to us about the case, and the police are also going to our house now."I'm nervous, Navi," I said, looking at Navi. My hands are sweating, and I feel like it's my fault. I might lose the case because Mama didn't respond and didn't want to talk to anyone; she didn't show up at home for several days."Why, there's nothing to be afraid of, baby. You are innocent, and you will win the case, that's for sure. Since he ran away with the money, the amount of evidence will say that he cheated and intended to run away with your money. So calm down, okay?" Navi caressed my hand and held it tight.I calmed down and smiled, leaning my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. "Thank you; you are by my side while I am struggling with my situation right now. I feel safe and okay,
"Finish it too, Kourtney; you need to finish it now because we need it later." The folders fell in front of me, and the employee who was with me in my OJT today gave me a silly smile.I feel from the start that they don't like me, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. The company that bought our property, my current employer, is also stupid. The day he greeted the students and the big smile of Mr. Cruz to meBut his employees, especially the women, hate me. The work they leave behind is terrible, and I have almost exceeded the time allotted to me."Yes, I'll bring it later." I put the folders aside, and he looked at me before turning away. I dropped my back on the chair and stood up. It's been a long time; my lunch break is later.I stood up and took my pouch. I walked because I stepped on a bump, and I have a wound on my foot now."I'm only on a fifteen-minute break," I promised, and they just shut me up. I passed them and carried my pouch. I'm going to the company's smoking area, so I
When I got out of bed, I had a dragging sensation, and I knew I had school the next day, but I didn't feel like participating in our ojt. Drinking and getting drunk is my preferred activity."Kourtney!" When I turned to face the door, it opened with a warning from my mother, who looked quite irate and gave the impression that she was about to smack me at any moment. He threw the statement of account on the table and was visibly upset as he did so.This indignant remark and me spreading my blanket now: "You sold a building but no money entered my account; did you cheat me?" "Mom, the hospital costs for Papa have been paid. I also paid my tuition fee," I added, as his trembling fist smacked the paper across my face.If you spent it at school, that's perfectly OK; there's no reason for you to spend it with your dad. He is going to pass away; are you willing to spend any more money? My hair was smoothed back, and my shoulders were dropped forward."Mama, please don't speak to Papa in that
It seemed as though heaven and earth had encompassed me after our conversation with Tita. What the heck, I prepare everything and he knows it's our anniversary today, and then he goes to a pub with his pals. This is insane and really disturbing.I rose up, took up my coat and pocketbook, and placed my keys and phone inside. If Navi is here, I will approach her, and she will be quite near to me now.My fingers shook as I closed the hotel room door, even after I wiped my tears away and kept them from dropping since my make-up was a waste today, but I prepare and make an effort for this. I want it to be unique and unforgettable. But it's like throwing away all of my hard work here.I clutched my bag tighter and stepped into a cab in front of the hotel, my hand longing to hit someone, wanting to let out all my rage. Even though we seldom contact anymore, I understand him; he also stated that he knows my predicament because I am in it.We're both old and understand things like not being ab
I paid the remaining hospital money, but Papa's condition is not improving. Something is obstructing a vein in Papa's heart, preventing it from recovering.Every day that I am with Papa, I notice that his body is weakening and that issues in his body have emerged, therefore I can't help but be concerned about his current state.I grinned and stepped to the window, looking at the calendar and saw that today is Navi's anniversary. I need to get my thoughts in order, and because Navi and I haven't seen each other in a long time, I'll take advantage of the situation, because Navi promised to return home to Manila today, and it's also our anniversary.I grinned as I approached Papa and kissed his brow. His eyes were wide open, but he was unresponsive; nonetheless, I had the impression that he was listening to me."Just be patient, Dad, I'm graduating and will be able to focus on our business, so get well." I always support you because I can fight for your good." I grinned and hugged Papa,
I was seated on the dining chair, clutching my insurance policy. I discovered that I couldn't move her again since Mama previously touched her and took half of it, and I don't know what to do because I'm in the agreement that I can have complete control there when I'm twenty-four, and while I'm not at the correct age, Mom and Dad can still move it.I'm waiting for Mama to come home today; the situation has changed, and I'm worried I'm going insane since I don't have enough money to pay for school. Aunt and I covered Papa's other medical costs, and the school set me a deadline to pay my massive tuition price.I found the paperwork in Papa's study, and we have additional properties that I can mortgage. However, you are unable to move since Mama does not have a prime. My mother now has complete control of our properties, but I have no idea where she is.Mama spent all of the money in the bank, and if there had been no limit, she may have taken it all. Mama didn't come home when I began s
