Just like before when the new trending video reached the knowledge of Atty. Wilgreg, the latter just calmly watched it and called Atty. Ninia.
“Babe, did you see my latest trending video?” He asked, hoping she did see it already.
“Yes. Was that the whole video? I am giving you the chance to defend yourself Atty. Wilgreg before I judge you?” Atty. Ninia said chuckling. She was pissed off seeing Wilgreg being kissed by another woman or him kissing her, but she is a lawyer and she knows the word benefit of the doubt; aside from the fact that he trusted him enough not to believe in a certainly and obviously cut or edited video.
Atty. Wilgreg was able to relax upon hearing her words. “Babe please watch me an hour from now for my TV interview, I will be showing a bombshell.” Atty. Wilgreg smiled as he said this.
“Alright Babe, make sure you are dashingly handsome during your interview. I will be watching you.“ Atty. Ninia said trying to be serious but Atty. Wilgreg was not able to control his hearty laughter.
An hour after, the TV live interview of Atty. Wilgreg Monaro has been watched by all the staff of the Lincuja’s group of Companies including the Board of Directors, Carolina, Atty. Lulu and Damian Lincuja and most probably by other interested parties or those who just wanted to be nosy.
When asked by the interviewer about the truth in his circulating video, Atty. Wilgreg replied simply, “I will not say anything. I will just show you something, then it is up to you to judge me." He handed to the host a USB containing the CCTV footage of what really transpired during that time.
Thereafter, the whole CCTV footage of what truly happened has been shown on the TV screen to the complete shock of those who watched and then laughter on the part of Damian Lincuja and all the staff and Board of Directors of the Lincuja Group of Companies. Carolina was so pissed-off with the woman who tried to seduce her son and most probably posted the video.
And for Atty. Wilgreg’s parting words, he said, “Whatever is your opinion now; it is your opinion, not mine. What really counts is the opinion of the woman who truly trusted me and never judged me right away when he saw the circulating video. By the way Babe, I know you are watching; thank you. Let’s have coffee again.” Then Atty. Wilgreg winked into the camera making the lady reporter giggle and some women watching worldwide. The live interview of Atty. Wilgreg was successful enough to change the perception of the viewers about him and what truly happened between him and the woman in the video.
Atty. Ninia smiled so wide with cheeks reddening like tomatoes when she heard the last word stated by Atty. Wilgreg in the camera. Of course, she knows very well what it means as the flashback of what they did in her apartment played in her mind like a movie. She sheepishly smiled while her heart has been warmly touched.
At the Lincuja Real Estate Corporation, the Human Resources Department Manager is currently serving a “Notice to Explain” to Danica Pereno. The CCTV footage was so obvious. Danica Pereno did something beyond decency and the moral standards of the Company. It was an utter disrespect to the CEO of the Company.
While Marco Raguya was cursing Atty. Wilgreg at the top of his lungs and Lucia Raguya gulped more of the whisky she has been addicted to for a couple of months already.
Atty. Lulu’s eyes squinted out of jealousy with Atty. Ninia. “How on earth did Wilgreg seem to become head over heels with you Ninia?” she asked cussing.

A proper Complaint for Qualified Estafa has been filed at the Prosecutor’s office by the Legal Team of the Lincuja Real Estate Corporation. against its Executive Vice President, Marco Raguya.
A few more days and the subpoena to appear before the prosecutor’s office have been received by Marco Raguya. Then on the same day, the Human Resources Director and Manager visited him in his office handling him a “Notice for Temporary Suspension from Work” while the case is pending with the Prosecutor’s office.
Marco Raguya however refused to receive the “Notice for Temporary Suspension from Work”. He even tore it into pieces in front of the HR Director and HR Manager. He felt so humiliated. He stormed from his office on the same day.
Because of what Marco Raguya has done, the legal team prepared the Affidavits of the HR Director and HR Manager stating that Marco Raguya refused to receive the “Notice for Temporary Suspension from Work”. They also sent the same letter to his office and personal e-mail account.
Immediately also, the HR department in collaboration with the Legal Department, issued a temporary notice banning the former Executive Vice President from entering the company while his case is under investigation.
Marco Raguya felt so desperate now. He has a pending case, no work and he has lots of debts to pay. Two loan sharks with whom he borrowed money are already threatening him. What else could he do to earn a living? His only property now is his condominium unit which he just fully paid for last year and his one old Toyota car. His Land Cruiser is still under a chattel mortgage agreement. He wanted to bang his head on the wall, out of desperation.
On that night, Marco Raguya found himself inside a nightclub in Ermita, Manila. All he wanted to do right now is to drink and be merry.
Lucia Raguya was more than agitated when he learned what happened to her eldest son. She had sworn to make Carolina and her son’s life a living hell again, just like what she did before. After swearing, she gulped in one sitting almost half a bottle of whisky in her hand.
