Chapter 48
Hanz 'POV,
I am currently driving to my company because I will meet the new owner of my corporation.
I didn't meet it because I had an emergency. I have to accompany Nikita non to her OB due to some complication.
"Sir, Mr. Diwa is already here." Said my secretary on the other line. It called me.
I was awake because of my work last night. Then I had a bad trip because there was some traffic and I was in a hurry.
"Ok, I'll be there soon." I just said then turned off the call.
"It's a bad trip." I said annoyed because when I was still in a hurry, I even caught a red light.
I waited a few more minutes and when the green light came on I quickly started my car.
*Bogsh!*
"F*ck!" I was so annoyed I said because I collided with a car.
Suddenly, the car I had crashed into rang. I just stared at the car in front and waited for the owner to come out. And a few minutes later the owner came out.
Sh*t! I can really do this.
I was lowering my window when the female owner of the car knocked annoyed.
"Miss I'm ---"
"What the f*ck! Look what did you do to my car." Annoyed woman shouted at me as she pointed to her car.
"I didn't me ---"
"Oh f*cker, I'm used to that saying!" He shouted at me again.
What a pity for this woman. It's still nice but sarcastic.
"I will repai ---"
"No! I want brand new. I'm not used to using cars that are already damaged." Its an artistic cry. "And, can you get out on your car, you rascal?" He added as he continued to rattle my car.
Sh*t, I'm late.
Because of what he said, I just got out of the car to settle his mouth. I'm really late.
"Miss, can you lower your voice? You're getting everyone's attention." I said. He looked around and raised an eyebrow. He suddenly grabbed her waist.
"What?" He could tell the people who were looking at us today.
Damn it!
"Hey, can you please, calm down?" I calm him down.
I have no right to fight him either now because I was the one who bumped into him.
I looked at my wrist watch.
Sh*t! I'm 30 minutes late.
"Shut up, you asshole."
"Ahm, Miss, can we settle this maybe some other time? I have an important appointment to go."
"I also have one too but because of your recklessness, you bump into my car. I'm already late now." He said angrily and looked at his wrist watch as well.
"Ma'am, Sir, if you don't mind, we can settle this in the police station." We once turned to an enforcer who approached us.
"No, I don't have time for that." He answered.
"But you're blocking the highway. And you're making a scene here." Said the enforcer.
This woman is really cursed. No one chooses. Everyone is fighting.
"Miss, I can give you my card and you can call me. We will discuss this after my appointment in my office." I said.
"Tss, give me your card." He said and held out his hand. "It's grassy, I love my car." I heard him whisper so I looked at him.
"What?" He can keep asking me questions.
"Are you Filipino?" I asked him. He raised an eyebrow even more.
"Yes. You too?" He asked more.
"Yes." I just said.
I was looking for my card in my wallet, but I couldn't find anything.
"A-ahh Miss, I didn't bring a card, can I ---"
"What?"
"But I can give you my number." I said more.
"How can I know if its you?" He asked more.
"Give me your number and I'll call you." I said. He gave me his number. Later it rang. I picked up my phone and showed him I had called him.
"Save that and I really have to go." I just said.
"Wait ---"
I looked at him.
"What now?" I said annoyed because I was super late.
"Where am I going to ride?" He asked more. I took out my phone and called one of my caretakers.
"Yes, Sir? The Presid ---"
"Come here in ****** and drive this red car which I bump to the auto." I said to get this woman's car.
Why did I just think of this? I should have let my PA fix this.
"Copy, sir." He just said so I dropped the call.
I turned to the woman. He just crossed his arms while looking at me.
"Miss, take a cab first. I promise to negotiate with you later." I said.
"Just try not to call me later, I'll make you milk!" He told me and stomped to his car to get his stuff inside.
I turned my gaze to the enforcer who had been listening to us.
"Officer, can you wait for my PA to take this car to the auto? He will also fix this issue to the police later. I really have to go." I politely please talk to the enforcer because I don"t have time for the interview.
The woman approached us.
"You promised, Mr." He reminded her before taking a taxi and leaving.
I looked at my car and sighed.
I guess I should also take a cab.
I took my attache case and then took a taxi. I rode too.
I arrived at my building in a few minutes. I immediately paid the taxi driver and got off to enter.
"Good morning, sir." The security guard greeted me. But I ignored it at first because I was late.
I was greeted by others but I was still in our meeting room. When I entered, I immediately saw Mr. Diwa.
"You?" I looked at the person who suddenly spoke and frowned slightly when I saw the woman I had been fighting with earlier.
"Ichiel, lower your voice." Calming him by Mr. Diwa.
Wait, is he what they say is my business partner?
"Yes dad, he's the reckless driver who bumped my car, that's why I'm late." He says.
I looked at Mr. Diwa.
"I'm really sorry, Sir. I was in a hurry that time." I apologize to his daddy.
"No Hanz, ijo. I'm sorry for my daughter's attitude." She said that it was as if she knew that her son was really being abused.
I looked at the woman I had bumped into. It raised an eyebrow at me.
"We'll talk about this issue later." I said to her and sit on my swivel chair.
Hanz's POV,
I am currently typing on my laptop with a knock.
"Come in." I promise. I saw my secretary enter.
"Sir, someone wants to see you." He says. My forehead frowned.
Did I think I didn't have a meeting today?
"Who's that?" I asked and leaned back in my swivel chair.
"She's the daughter of Mr. Diwa." He replied so I was able to sit up when I found out the monster woman" was looking for me.
I just sighed and typed again on the laptop to save the document I was working on.
I saw that the one called Mr. entered. Diwa non na Ichiel". I turned off and folded my laptop. I have also prepared my ears for the misfortune of this woman.
"Tsk!" He first opened it when he entered my office. He rolled his eyes around then end up looking at me.
"You have a big time too." He started and stood in front of me. I just looked at him with the restraint to contradict what he was going to say next.
"So I guess you can buy me a new one ..." He just crossed his arms while raising an eyebrow talking to me.
"Maybe your car can be fixed, Miss?" I said.
Because OA, I want a new one, I just broke it in the back. What is the use of auto-repair shops if every vehicle breaks down, they just throw it away.
"Nah, I want brand new." He demands more.
By the way she stand in front of me, I think she's a brat. A spoiled brat.
"Look Miss, the damage to your car isn't that big ..."
"I said, I want brand new. You're even better than me, eh, you're the reason why my car broke down." He sighed and adjusted his grip on his red bag.
I let out a deep sigh because of this woman's behavior.
Will anyone still try to woo this? If no one tries to woo her, no one will try to marry her, if her husband is not under her.
Hayyy! I feel pity for that unlucky man.
"What, will you buy me or I will report you to the police for your recklessness?" She said and raised both hands on my desk.
I was just sighing and was about to take the key to my other car from my drawer when we heard a knock.
"Come in." I said. The door opened and Nikita entered.
"Oh Witch!" I said. It bothered me.
"Can I be a Wizard, don't call me a witch here because you're my boss." He said so I just laughed.
"Sir, this is the market segmentation we did. Miss Evans is passing it on to me because she is still taking care of something." She said and handed me the paper.
"Oh, I see." I just said and handed over the paper.
"I think I know you." We were looking at Ichiel when he spoke suddenly.
Nikita's forehead frowned as if she was worried if they had met before. Ichiel just stared at him while holding his chin.
"What's your name again?" He asked.
"Nikita please." Nikita replied.
"Ahhhh ... I think I've heard it somewhere ... Anyway ..." He said then turned to me. "Will you buy me a new one?" He asked me.
Nikita bowed a little and then walked away from my office. I took my key and then stood up to finish this woman's transaction ... because her behavior was stressful.
I walked out of my office. I feel like he followed me. When we were in the parking lot I rang my car.
I got into the driver's seat. I turned to look at him when I saw him riding in the back.
"What?" He objected.
"You're here in the front. I'm like your driver." I told him.
Just calm down Hanz, it's your fault so put up with that woman's behavior first!
He went out and sat next to the driver's seat. I just looked at him while waiting for him to put on his seatbelt.
It's hard, when something happens to him, he might buy a new life!
"What's that again?" He asked when he noticed me staring at him.
"Wear a seatbelt. Maybe when you have an accident, you'll buy a new life too." I said.
"You ---" He was about to speak but just kept quiet and put on his seatbelt.
I immediately started my car and went to the auto shop. When we arrived, he went out first and then entered the building.
"Aren't you gonna buy the same model as your car?" I asked him when I saw him walking around to check out the new car models inside.
"Nah, I don't like the things I once had." He said and looked at a red Mercedes Benz C-Class.
"Sir, you're looking for a car for your girlfriend?" I looked at the man who spoke when he mentioned the word girlfriend".
"She's not my girlfriend." "Not my boyfriend." We once said Ichiel.
"Oh, sorry." The man apologized and discussed more about the car Ichiel was looking at.
I didn't listen anymore because I wasn't the one to buy.
"I like this, cute and at the same time simple the look." He said and looked around the car.
"We'll get this, fully paid ... to finish this." I said while whispering the latter.
"Okay Sir, this way." He said and ushered us into an office about the negotiation. I just signed then I gave my credit card.
It's a shameful woman, I also paid almost 2 million.
"Thanks."
Why, he knows how to say thank you!
"Tsk, maybe you can let me go?" I told him.
"You're so rude, aren't you? You're not going to get married in your ugaoi." He said so my eyes widened at him.
Me yet? Is he really telling me that?
Aba !!! Damn that!
"And why? Me? Am I a bad habit here? Eh I haven't exaggerated the trouble eh." He said while still staring.
"Should I say thank you?" I said sarcastically to him.
"F*cker!" He just said and turned away. But he suddenly collapsed so he fell down.
"Ouch!" He said while holding her ankle.
I immediately approached him because he seemed to be crying.
"Don't touch me!" He suddenly shook my hand when I was about to touch him on his ankle.
Kinarma rin!
Art! He was already being helped, he was still angry. The roughness really of the habit!
"I'm just trying to help you ok?" I said and still touched his ankle.
"Ouch!" He said as I touched the pain in him.
"I said don't touch me!" He was still annoyed he told me. But I didn't stop, I picked him up to take him to the hospital. I still have a guilty conscience.
"Wh-what a-are you doing?" He said as if panicking. "Put me down, assh*le!" He still insisted but I didn't stop.
Bwiset kaartehan niya!
"My assistant will be the one to take the car. I just have to take her to the hospital." I told the man earlier and hurried away.
"Heyyy! You pervert!" He said when I got him in the car.
Bwiset! I should have just let him go!
"Can you just shut up? I'm helping you ok?" I just said.
"I didn't ask you that." He said more.
Be patient Hanz, that's a girl! Take a deep breath and throw him out!
But of course it's just a joke, I'll just throw him in the sea! Bwiset!
After five years ...
Nikita's POV,
"Hey! Are you coming down?" Alyana asked me because it's break time.
I first looked at what I was typing on the screen before looking at him.
"All right. You go first, I'll be next." I said. He was blown away.
"Aren't you done there yet?" She ask.
"It's over ..." I said and continued to what I was doing earlier. "... so I'll just follow." I then looked at him.
"All right. Hurry up. I'll be the first, I'm hungry." He said so I just nodded.
"Hey! Niks, aren't you going down?" My male officemate asked me.
"I still have work to do so ... nah!" I told him.
"Ok ..." He just said and went down.
Five years have passed. Quick, my son is also five years old.
In five years, I can"t say everything has been easy for me. I worked well with Hanz's company, I really adapted their culture here.
Sometimes, I get tired because I am not only a worker, but also a mother. I work in the morning, mom or dad at night. I have to be very flexible because I am no longer alone in life. I have a child to raise so I need to be strong.
I did everything I could to be enough for my son. I'm self -absorbed and self -sufficient.
Sometimes I come home very tired from work but that disappears when I see my child. I am so happy when he gets praise from his teachers. I was happy when he told me about what his teacher had told him.
It's funny, my son is so talented. For a five -year -old child, not playing is usually what he does.
At the age of 3 years old, Ate Marissa and I were teaching Levi to familiarize himself with the letters of the alphabet so by the age of 4 he had learned to read simple words, count up to 100 and identify colors, animals, road signs, and whatnot. So now that he is five years old, he is busy reading storybooks.
I still introduced him to some toys because I don't want my son's life to be close to school. I want him to learn how to balance everything. I don't want to get to the point that by the age of 7, my child's learning capability will stop, so I still want him to play because that's exactly what kids and his age usually do.
"You didn't take your lunch." I looked at Hanz who was now leaning against the door of our department room. He walked closer to me.
"Later. I'm just finishing this." I said.
"Maybe you're making yourself too tired Witch. Look oh, you're uglier than that rough woman." He said while frowning when he mentioned his female enemy non.
"Gosh, you mean, you're already being nice to him because you've already crushed him." I tease him. But it just raised an eyebrow at me.
Bwiset! Wizard is gay.
"I'm sorry, you're gay." I was still teasing him so he kicked me.
"Even if she's the only woman left in the world, I'm not going to like her." He said more. I laughed a little at what I thought.
"No, but when you bought a napkin for him." He was a little surprised by what I said.
"C-cause ..." he said while not looking at me. "C-cause the l-strength to wear p-white, m-there is." He said awkwardly.
The other day, he said that he and Ichiel were together to check on their hotel, which was finishing the iconstruct. Then when they were on their way home, while they were going down, he allegedly saw that there was a leak so he touched Ichiel's ass and then, he was slapped. Then Ichiel bought him a napkin, he said, because he said he couldn't get out of the bathroom and his assistant wasn't there yet. He bought food.
"The courage to slap, he's the one helping. Nakuuu!" He was shivering so I just laughed.
"Let's bet, you'll fall for him too." I said that's why his eyes widened as his nostrils widened.
"Bwiset you Witch who is no longer pregnant lotion." He was still pissed at me before standing up and walking away.
"Oh, where are you going?" I asked him.
"That woman is going. Bwiset, there's still a meeting as far as I know." He said as he strode out.
"I'm at the wedding ah." I said a little loudly so he turned to look at me.
By the way, I don't live with Hanz anymore. I stood out because I was also ashamed of my best friend.
I wish for my best friend's happiness. I hope they are with Ichiel.
I'm still typing on my laptop. When I finished, I printed my work and then hid it for later to pass on to Presto.
I also went down to have lunch as well. I saw Alyana and the rest of our colleagues. I also got something to eat and then stood next to them.
We just talked all lunch time. When our lunch time was over, we went back to his work. I took what I was going to pass on to Presto and passed it on to him.
I stretched onti and slightly checked what else I was going to do, when suddenly my cellphone rang.
"Hello ma?" I asked mom. I heard her sobbing so I was suddenly nervous.
"Son, your dad ..." He sobbed on the other line. I got up to go out.
"Why? What happened to papa?" I asked mom.
"Your dad, had an accident." Crying says mama.
"WHAT?" Shocked I said.
"He's in a coma right now." Mama said so I cried too. "You have to be back here son, please. We'll expect you in our business first." Sabi is mom.
"O-ok ma." I said and dropped the call to return to my table to make a resignation letter.
I hope five years is enough for me to be ready for business talks.
And hopefully, I will be ready to face everything I have to face when I return to the Philippines.
