That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 26: The Twist Of Fate
“Hindi po talaga nagagawi rito si T’yo, Aling Myrna?” nag-aalalang tanong ni Gael sa dati nilang kapitbahay sa may aplaya. Doon siya dinala ng paghahanap niya sa tiyuhin. Mula nang iwan niya si Charlie sa Antipolo kahapon ay hindi na naalis ang bigat na nasa dibdib niya. He did not just thought of turning the car around once to get Charlie back. But he willed himself not to.Madalas sabihin sa kanya ng T’yo Berting niya noon na ang tamang desisyon ay mahirap gawin. That thought gave him the assurance that he was doing the right thing for his wife. He maybe hurting right now and he knew Charlie too, but in the long run, his decision will both do them good. Minsan nang nailagay sa alanganin ang buhay niya. Hindi na niya hihintayin pa na si Charlie naman ang mapahamak dahil sa pagtatago nila. Isa pa may sakit ito. Ang importante sa kanya sa ngayon ay ang mapagamot ito nang walang inaalalang anumang panganib. That’s why he came home to his unfinished beach house in San Gabriel. Gusto n

“Charlie, will you need me to help you pack your things?” anang Mommy niya kay Charlie. Nakasilip ito sa pinto ng kanyang silid. She gently shook her head and gave her mother a faint smile. “No, Mom. I can manage,” aniya, habang tinitiklop ang ilan pa sa mga gamit na ilalagay niya sa loob ng suitcase niya. Her mother forced a smile. She can clearly see the visible lines of worry on her face. lt has been a tough week for all of them. “Okay, sweetheart. Remember, don't get out of the bed or stand for too long. Kapag kailangan mo ng tulong, just call me, alright?" Marahan siyang tumango. “Yes, Mom.” Isinara ng Mommy niya ang pinto ng kanyang silid. But she was still hearing rushed footsteps as well as hushed and worried conversations from their househelpers outside.Ngayon ang alis nila patungong US. Una, dahil sa kailangang magpagamot ng kanyang Daddy. At pangalawa, para sa kaligtasan nilang lahat. Three days had already passed since Theo almost had his way with her. Her mother a
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 28: Greeting The Past
Five years later “Are you ready for tomorrow?” malumanay na tanong ng Daddy ni Charlie sa kanya. They were talking via video call and she can clearly see the worried look on her father’s face.“I will be fine, Dad. Besides, this is not the first time that I’ll be negotiating over our… o-our debt,” alanganing niyang sagot. “Yes but this is the first time your Uncle Joshua will not be with you. Do you want me to call your Grandma or your Uncle Kiel para may kasama ka—“ “Dad, ‘di ba nag-usap na tayo,” maagap niyang putol sa ama. “How will I learn if I’d always rely on other people? Besides graduation ni Tala bukas, Uncle Josh will not miss his daughter’s graduation just to help me, would he? Don’t you trust me?” Her father had this conflicted look on his face for a while. “I do. It’s the people you meet I don’t trust.” She smiled, her heart warming up a little. There she was all grown up and currently the interim CEO of SSL and yet her Dad is still protective of her. “Thanks, D
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 29: Greeting The Past 2
It was ten minutes before lunch at kanina pa inip na naghihintay si Charlie sa may waiting room ng opisina ni Mr. Jones. Ilang beses na rin niyang nakausap ang secretary ng lalaki. But everytime she does, iisa lang ang sagot nito, may importante pa itong kausap na tao sa loob ng opisina nito. She had always been very patient when it comes to her business dealings. Her Uncle Joshua told her to never show extreme emotions when dealing with clients or business associates. And so she had learned to manage her emotions well. But this transaction, no matter how she needed it to go smoothly today is clearly testing her patience. Why wouldn't she? Sinunod niyang lahat ang protocols para makakuha ng appointment kay Mr. Jones. But now that she's here, she felt like the CEO was just making a fool out out of her by making her wait for hours! Hindi niya tuloy maiwasang isipin na baka inutusan ito ng mga Mondragon na paglaruan siya. This is not the first time the Mondragons have used their co
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 30: Purpose
“So, how was the meeting with Mr. Jones,” anang Uncle Joshua ni Charlie sa kanya. Agad siyang nag-angat ng tingin mula sa kanyang plato, makahulugang ipinalibot ang tingin sa mga kaanak niya na nasa hapag. They were having dinner at his uncle’s house in celebration of her cousin Tala's graduation. Everyone from her father’s side of the family were present, except of course for her parents and her brother Caleb who was away preparing for his Accountancy Licensure Exam. Sa totoo lang, wala sana siya dapat doon ngayon. She’s still flustered from meeting Gael earlier that day. All she would want to do is to spend the night in her bed with the help of a premium drink to knock her senses off to sleep. But Tala’s graduation is quite a big event for the family. Paano, matapos nitong mag-shift ng course ng tatlong beses, her cousin finally got her degree. And soon, Tala will be moving to Italy for her masters in fashion design. Her heart felt a little heavy with the thought. Sometimes,

“What do you want? Coffee? Tea?” alok ni Jasmine sa kanya nang nasa sala na sila ng bahay nito. “Or booze?” pabulong na dugtong nito, bahagya pang nalukot ang mukha habang hawak ang namimintog nitong tiyan. Jasmine is already on her third trimester sa first baby nito at ni Gray. Hirap na itong maglalabas at magkikilos. Kaya madalas, siya na ang pumupunta sa kaibigan. “Unlimited shots of tequila, please,” pabirong sagot niya, natatawa. Agad na nalaki ang mga mata ni Jasmine. “Wala no’n dito. Mag-tsaa ka na lang, Charlie,” anito bago nagpunta sa kusina. Pagbalik nito, may bitbit na itong tig-isang slice ng cheesecake sa dalawang platito. Nakasunod dito ng isa sa mga katulong nito na may bitbit na tray ng porcelain teapot at dalawang tea cups. “So what brings you here?” anito habang isinisilbi ang tea at cheesecake sa harap niya. “Do I need to have a reason to come here?” nakalabing tanong niya sa kaibigan, nilagyan ng himig pagtatampo ang tinig. Jasmine giggled and sat on th

“Coffee?” alok ni Jasmine kay Charlie na noon ay sapo-sapo pa rin ang nananakit na ulo. Last night she had one too many drinks while pouring her heart out to Jasmine. The brandy did its magic last night—make her talk and knock her off to sleep. ‘Yon nga lang, hindi siya sa bahay niya nakatulog. Natulog siya sa bahay nina Jasmine at Gray dahil sa sobrang kalasingan. “Thank you,” paos ang tinig na sabi niya matapos salinan ni Jasmine ng kape ang mug na nakasilbi sa kanyang harapan. She took a sip of the hot beverage, wishing that it will take away all the effects of her stupidity last night. Pasado alas nuwebe na ng umaga subalit naroon pa rin siya, in someone else’s home looking like a shit. Wala sita dapat doon. Napakarami niyang dapat gawin sa opisina. Idagdag pa ang muli niya sanang pakikipag-usap kay Mr. Jones. Heck! It’s not even yet the weekend but she got wasted! She silently cursed herself. What’s happening to her focus? Kahapon pa siya gano’n. She used to be very s

It was past six in the evening subalit nasa SSL pa rin si Charlie. She came in late today kaya natambakan siyang husto ng trabaho. Kasalanan naman niya 'yon dahil nagpakalasing siya nang nagdaang gabi. Wala siyang ibang pwedeng sisihin kundi ang kanang sarili. But she promised herself that last night will be the very last time she'd drink herself to sleep habang maay mga kinakaharap na problema ang SSL. She will work harder to prove herself worthy of her position.Kung sabagay, balak niyang h’wag umuwi sa mansiyon ngayon. She will stay at the penthouse upang maaga rin siyang makapasok bukas.She has a lot of proposals to study all for the upcoming board meeting three days from now. That would be her first time facilitating the meeting by herself. She wants to be prepared. Ayaw na niyang magkamali. Huli na talaga ang kagabi. Abala siya sa pagbabasa ng biglang sumilip si Diego sa pinto ng kanyang opisina. Taliwas sa masayahing aura nito, her father’s trusted assistant and secretary had
