It is three months later when Althaea decided to return to her province after she found out that her parents was in America with Athena. They begged that she must the one who would take over their company temporarily. The lady has no idea about how to manage such a big business but she will try to do her best.
"Your Tito Jacinto is there to guide you, Althaea so need to worry much about our company there." As her father's statement.
"Ok, Dad. How about my sister she is fine?" Althaea still caring to her twin even though she has hurt her many times.
"Don't worry about your sister. The psychologist is talking to her right now to check the condition." The lady's mother replied.
"Hoping, she would be ok." The expression with sadness on the face.
"Everything will be fine. Don't bother, ok? All you need to do is preparing yourself for your great responsibility." Mr. Muestra stating that he really needs to trust his daughter to their company. He knows that Althaea is capable.
The young lady appointed as the temporary Vice President of the company.
"Ok, Dad. I will try my best." Promising that it turns for good eventhough she was not confident on that kind of work.
"That's good." His father's firm reply.
"Alright, our dear princess we call you next time. We still have important things to do right here. You just have to report everything will happen in the company." As Mrs. Muestra said with an authority and Althaea simply nodded.
After that, Althaea reminisced about her last day in Manila with her friends.
Flashback:
"We'll miss you, Cas." Ginger have spoken sadly while still hugging to each other. "Is there no more returning back?"
The lady separated with her friend and said, "I have no choice but must follow Mom and Dad. They entrusted me with the company."
"You really takes on a tremendous responsibility, Thaea." As Xavier interrupted in their conversation. "It's no joke to run such a huge business."
"Yes, but I can do it to help and manage. Still, I was a graduate of Accounting Management." Althaea said it to her friends with a confidence.
"Thaea's fighting spirit is really strong." Zen complimented. "It's where I believe."
Her friends just laughed and made some fun together in a few hours remained. The girl gave a most the rest of the day to be with them.
End of flashback
Althaea is currently in the garden while observing the flowers and other plants there. She was noticed by Yaya Helena who busy watering them.
"Oh, dear I thought you should take a rest first because you're seem tired from the trip." She stopped for a moment to tell the lady that needed to rest.
"I'm fine, Nanny. Don't worry. After all, I just can't sleep." Explaining to her who was the guardian since childhood.
"Ok. Do you have something to talk about?" Yaya Helena added.
Althaea responded immediately because she had nothing else to do. They talk to much until it passes to one hour.
"You know, dear I never thought that your twin could do bad things after you sacrificed everything." Yaya Helena uttered. "I was very dissapointed of what she did. Very unreasonable." She took a deep breath afterwards.
"Actually, it also surprised me when I found out that Athena was the reason why I fired from the company I worked for a very long time. It hurt me too much then here is still speaking badly of me and kicked me out of the apartment where I lived."
The lady is sad as telling the story because until now she still can't get rid of the bad feeling for her sister. She just wanted to be brutally honest with her twin but concerned her about how Athena would feel. So, it was better to suppress the feelings.
"Athena is ruthless. I didn't raise you like this that both of you hurting each other just because of one man." The lady can see the frustration after what happened.
Althaea feels on how painful for Yaya Helena seeing them fighting. She is the second parent of twin- daughter's of the Muestra couple because they have no time who focused more to their company.
"I'm sorry, Nanny Helena. I failed you. It's my fault." Suddenly, Helena grabbed her arms and hugged her.
"It's not your fault, Althaea. Don't blame yourself. Your twin is really the problem."
"But, Yaya ...." She stopped the young lady from speaking.
"Althaea, it's not your fault ok? You've done everything for the sake of others. I hope you'll take care of yourself now."
The lady did not argue anymore with Yaya Helena. She just smiled and nodded afterwards.
"Thank you very much, Nanny."
"Nothing, daughter. As long as you need someone to talk to and empathize with, I'm here." Althaea hugged her babysitter very tight.
"All right, dear. I have to do something first. Stay here." Althaea agreed as the response as Yaya Helena walked towards the living room.
Soon, Althaea was silently gazing at the sky as continued breathing heavily. Thinking about how to manage the things that her mother and father would ask for her. She was nervous and uneasy that she definitely who can take the responsibility to their company and handle the people there as well. Althaea has no experiences in management at all since just being staffs that she only knows. She is not used to lead people therefore she can't avoid being pressured right now. There has a background in accounting only but not business adminstration or management.
It was blown away by the wind again of her thoughts and then said, "Just do your best and be confident self."
In a few moments, Althaea have decided to enter their mansion as night was approaching. She supposed to walk into the house when there's unexpected call on her phone.
It didn't hesitate to answer it, "Hello Tery?"
"Ma'am Thaea, where are you now?"
"I'm at home. Why?" She sensed that Terylene was in a crowd because she heard some clapping of their hands on the other line.
"Please, turn on the T.V. Make it fast." Her voice is shaking.
"Why, what's up?" I asked her in a confused question.
"Just hurry, Ma'am Thaea. Please turn on the TV. You should know something."
The lady finally followed of what the secretary stated. She went to the living room and turned on the television.
"Tery, which channel?" She asked.
"On Channel 30, Ma'am Thaea." She pressed the number mentioned until there suddenly appeared on the screen, the man who was currently speaking at a press conference today and he accompanied by an unfamiliar woman on his side.Download Novelah App
