It surprised me at all when this happened. We are all serious right now. It stopped me when Greige laid out some documents containing about our shares and theirs.
"I will terminate the contract with your company on us." He said without hesitation.
I can't almost move in my position after I heard it. I don’t know why. He said something else but I couldn't listen into it because I was stunning of what happened.
Uncle Fidel is also disappointed about Greige decision. He sighed before trying to confront him.
"My decision is final." That was his answer and he stood up with his new girlfriend.
Is that why he came here to end our company’s contract with them? If he has a problem with me, he shouldn't even bother with the business. He made it too personal. I also stood up to confront him and uncle agreed with me.
"Greige, can we talk?" As grabbing him now. His girlfriend named Phoebie have been excused between us.
"I'll coming next to you." He said into his fiance.
He sighed, "Anyway, you have no right to call me using that name. You forgot that I am the C.E.O of Lifeline Pharmaceuticals and at working pace so you must be in formal." He looks really cold now. It seems that he's not affected on my presence. I know it's my fault but this is not right.
"Is there any wrong why you cancel our contract with your business?" He giggled sarcastically that totally hits me.
"It's confidential." His statement was unreasonable. "Do I still need to explain the reason? Ok, I will tell you why." He stated as glaring towards me.
It showed that Greige have already moved on. I'm the only one who can't forget about us. It tormenting to think of myself like this. I thought it would be ok if he did what I wanted but it hurt in the chest. It was as if I was the only one who really gave a chance to hurt myself.
"I have no longer trusted your company as being part of us since I am protecting the business we owned. According to the investigation, your company has a violation." He added.
I frowned at what he said. Where did he get that. He just makes up stories that seem to assume that the company’s image is not good. That was a huge insult to us especially to my parents.
"Can you please don't make this personal? If anything I've done wrong our company is out here."
He just smiled. That’s all I noticed about him. I can see from the looks that he doesn't really care a bit about me anymore.
"Personal, oh come on." Frustrating that supposed my fist are crunching at my back.
"Please, cancel the cancellation." I'm still holding back my emotions.
"Why I would do that? I have a word Ms. Muestra just to take back everything I said earlier. If you want to say something, please say it faster. I have my next meeting at 10:00 AM."
"Please." I begged again but he did not shake.
"I am sorry. If you have nothing else to say. I have to go." He had already walked away and he just left me alone constantly feeling what had happened.
How can I say this to Mom and Dad? I decided to keep this secret first. I told about it to Uncle Fidel because I don't want my parent feeling worried happening to our business.
I only went in half-day today because I feel so heavy. I can’t focus on work. I'll just go in again tomorrow.
In the evening, I went to the kitchen to drink some milk. I want to calm myself down. I get anxious again after what happened.
Yaya noticed me here. He accompanied me first.
"Is there a problem, sister?" He asked me. "Is that about Greige?" I was surprised by his last question.
How did she find out about how I feel for her?
He smiled, "Don't deny the truth. I know you like Greige too. I don't blame you because you've been together for over a year." As she stated it to me.
"You're right." I also admitted to him because I can no longer lie.
"Why don't you admit to her how you really feel? After all, she also wants you, isn't it? Athena isn't here to fight you anymore." He added.
"He has a new girlfriend, Yaya Helena but I still won't admit it. You already know how much my twin loves him."
He held me with both hands and sighed.
"I'm sorry, sister, I don't know that but I hope you admitted to Greige then when he also told you about his feelings."
Yaya Helena and I had a long conversation. I feel more comfortable talking to him when it comes to this kind of conversation. So I am so thankful that he is there when at this time I need emotional support.
At ten o'clock in the evening we decided to go to bed. I headed to the bedroom and lay down. I closed my eyes until I fell asleep.
Wednesday day. I went in earlier to make up again especially with so much piled up to do. I didn't even realize that three hours had passed when I stared at the time on the monitor. Moments later there was a knock on the office door. Terylene.
I let him in right away and he couldn't look directly.
"Ma'am Thaea." He bowed to promise.
"What is it?" I wonder question.
He later grabbed the phone and scrolled for a while.
"Please watch." I frown at him.
"Is it about work?" I asked him at the same time as getting the cellphone.
"Please watch." I followed what he said.
I felt nervous for no apparent reason. The speed of my heartbeat felt like I was racing to run. I closed my eyes first and then looked at the screen.
I was stunned by what I saw when the video played. You have been so beautiful that somehow my awakening has been replaced by sadness. I felt weak when I watched it.
