Chapter 65: Unplanned
“How was it?” tanong ng Mommy ni Aaron sa kanya. His mother called him on his phone.
“It went fine, Mom,” aniya bago pagod niyang ibinagsak ang katawan sa sofa bago nagbuga ng hininga.
Kararating lang niya sa penthouse niya mula sa ilang oras na pagpaplano ng engagement party at kasal nila ni Kristine. Sanay siyang magplano. He does that every year with their annual planning and business meeting. Pero hindi niya inakalang aabutin sila ng ilang oras para lang sa pag-settle ng dates at theme sa engagement at kasal!
Why can’t two people just get married and get on with their lives together, that simple!
“Did you give Kristine what she wanted? Were you good to her?” pukaw sa kanya ng Momm niya maya-maya.
He clenched his jaw. “Of course, mother. What do you think of me a heartless jerk?” he sarcastically replied.
“Do not give that attitude Aaron Miguel! Kristine is a

“Sir, some of the board of directors and officers are not present. They have sent representatives, instead,” pagbabalita ni Diego kay Aaron habang nasa lift sila patungo sa conference room.Nasa opisina sila ng Valiant Shipping Lines and today is the first time that he will address the board and officers of VSL. The directors and head of departments will have to make a choice today, stay and be under the new management-- that entails demotion and other necessary business decisions-- or the easy way out, resign.He took in a sharp breath, trying to dismiss the doubts playing inside his head. Kung siya ang papipiliin, he’d never want to fire people like the way he did with his company four years ago. Dala-dala pa rin niya sa kunsensiya niya ang kunsekwensiya ng desisyon na iyon. He took away jobs from small people he doesn’t even know. People who had begged for him to reconsider. People who had worked so hard for their company when h
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 67: Dinner
Kung paano siya nakumbinse ni Aaron na pumayag sa pa-dinner nito, hindi pa rin alam ni Samantha. Maybe it was because she’s hungry too or it was a little persuasion from Chef Everett, or maybe she’s just too crazy she’s not thinking anymore. Whatever the reason, isa lang ang alam niya, she did not willingly agreed to the dinner.Pero ano pa bang magagawa niya, nandoon na siya. Nakaupo sa VIP room, in a candle lit table, eating the dinner prepared for Aaron and Kristine.“Why aren’t you eating?” tanong ni Aaron sa kanya maya-maya. “Should I ask for some chips instead?” sabi ni Aaron sa kanya maya-maya. The remark made her recall the big bag of Doritos they had shared during their date.Kumurap siya, tumuwid ang likod bago mabilis na kinuha ang wine glass niya at inubos ang laman niyon. Sa totoo lang, natetensiyon siya. Bakit hindi? Kaharap niya si Aaron at kumakain sila ng dinner na sila lang

Hindi alam ni Samantha kung gaano sila katagal sa ganoong ayos ni Aaron. Basta ang alam lang niya, nanginginig pa rin siya sa sobrang kabiglaanan. At sa tingin niya, hindi niya kayang tumayo nang mag-isa.She buried herself deeper into Aaron’s embrace and closed her eyes. Hindi muna niya naiisip ang sasabihin ni Aaron o ng iba pa mang tao. She needed someone now, anyone!She almost got hit! If worse comes to worst, she could’ve been dead by now!Oh god!Lalo siyang nanginig sa naisip. Nagsunod-sunod din ang mga eksena sa isip niya kung sakaling natuluyan nga siyang napahamak kanina.Paano na ang Daddy niya kung sakaling nadisgrasya nga siya kanina? Tiyak niyang bibigay lalo ang puso nitong pinaka-iingatan nila ni Lucas. At si Lucas, she’s more than sure her brother would also be devastated and would seek justice for her. Isa na naman sa mga dagdag alalahanin nito. And Charlie—her sweet little baby. Paa

Aaron huffed and cursed under breath. Humigpit din ang hawak niya sa manibela habang panay-panay ang pagsulyap niya sa cellphone niya. He was waiting for Ana to call him. Ito ang tinawagan niya kanina upang hingan ng tulong. Pinatawagan niya rin kasi rito si Eric Samaniego—ang may-ari ng SSA upang tulungan sila sa imbestigasyon ng insidente. Ang unang usapan nila ng hipag niya, magkikita sila sa Le Petit Chateau. Ang kaso, stubborn as she was, Sam argued with him and went home! Kaya ngayon heto siya, sinusundan ang kotse ng dalaga kung saan man nito balak pumunta.Naihilamos na niya ang kanyang kamay sa kanyang mukha bago siya muling nagbuga ng hininga. He had never felt so happy and yet so pissed at the same time.Happy because finally, he had Sam in his arms. Ever since they’ve met, he had always imagined how she’d feel in his arms. The urge to just grab and hold her was too great sometimes it frightened him. And now that he had

Tahimik na pinagmamasdan ni Samantha si Charlie. She just came home a few minutes ago. Ang una niyang ginawa nang makarating siya ng bahay, mag-shower. She wanted to erase the memory of the things that happened tonight. Gusto niyang pakalamahin ang sarili niya. Gusto niya, pagharap niya kay Charlie, maayos siya. Not nervous wreck that she was an hour ago.Kaya lang nang puntahan niya sina Bettina at Charlie sa viewing room, her daughter was already sleeping. Ang sabi ni Bettina, katutulog lang nito at kanina pa siya hinihintay.Siguro kung napaaga siya nang kaunti, naabutan pa niya itong gising. Nakipaglaro pa siya rito. Nakipagkulitan. She would’ve felt comforted by her child’s giggles and laughters. It would’ve been easy for her to forget about the cares of the day—the bigbike that almost hit her, Aaron and their argument.Kaya lang, tulog na ang anak niya. Hindi na naman niya ito naabutang gising. And during times like that, she can&rs

“H-hello?” nakangiwing sagot ni Samantha sa tawag sa cellphone niya. Mrs. Cobarrubias was calling her.“Samantha, hija, totoo bang hindi mo na gagawin ‘yong event nina Aaron at Kristine?” tanong nito in her usual sweet voice.She inwardly groaned and released a slow breath-trying to calm herself down. Sinasabi na nga ba at iyon ang dahil kung bakit napatawag ang matandang babae sa kanya. Well she expected that. Earlier that morning, sinabihan na niya si Kristine na si Mandy na ang magiging head coordinator sa engagement party nito at ni Aaron. Idinahilan niya na kailangan niyang lumipad patungong California sa susunod na linggo dahil sa isang emergency at hindi na niya mutututukan pa nang maigi ang preparation at coordination para sa engagement party.At first Kristine bargained with her, ayaw nitong bitiwan niya ang event ng mga ito. But when she assured her that she will make sure that everything is alrea
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 72: Threats 2
Salubong ang mga kilay nang dumating sa opisina niya si Aaron. Dalawang araw na siyang halos walang tulog dahil sa pakikipagnegosasyon niya sa mga empleyado ng VSL. They said they cannot continue working in his newly bought company when all of them are underpaid. He talked to the employee’s association leader, they were demanding more than they should. And giving in to their request would meant loses on his part. And though businesses entails taking risks, what the VSL employees are demanding him would sure take a big chunk on the budget he had planned on spending at VSL.Eddie had advised him to just lay off VSL’s employees and hire new ones. Business wise, that’s the best thing to do. But he just can’t bring himself to do that. What he did four years ago at SSL still haunts him until today. At hindi na niya dadagdagan pa ang mga dalahin ng kunsensiya niya para lamang mawala ang problema niya. He’d meet the employee’s demands

“You’re silent, Aaron. Are you angry with what I did?” tanong ng Mommy ni Aaron sa kanya maya-maya.Marahan siyang nagbuga ng hininga bago ibinaba ang tasa niya sa coffee table. Honestly, he’s not sure what to say or what to do. His mother did again what she does best—play cupid. And sometimes, her mother’s antics irks him hindi lang niya talaga masabi nang harapan dahil ayaw niya itong masaktan. He’s a 32 year-old engaged man for Pete’s sakes! Bakit hindi na lang siya nito hayaan sa mga diskarte niya sa pakikipagrelasyon.She knew you too well, you half-hearted dimwit! komento ng isang bahagi ng isip niya.He scoffed internally. Mukhang pati lohika niya, hindi rin kampi sa kanya.But what can he do? He had given his words. And he’ll do what he had promised no matter what the damn price is. Everybody expects him to do that. He ain’t a CEO for nothing. He’s
