Chapter 4

I am sitting on one of my grand chairs placed under an Agoho tree outside my house, my mansion rather. I have different kinds of trees outside my house like, Anahaw, Akle, Almaciga and more.

The tall trees, healthy trunks and green leaves of it are so refreshing. Even the oxygen coming from these trees are refreshing.

I tilt my head while looking at my enormous mansion.

It's a Victorian style mansion made up of red and brown bricks. It looks ancient and scary. Well, this mansion was passed down for years. And none of my relatives, I meant my grandfather and father didn't change its style. And so I am. Even the insides of the mansion's Victorian vibes too. But of course, the appliances are high tech, I am rich besides now's the modern day.

I glanced at my approaching maid before looking back at my mansion again.

"Sir, ito na po yung pinakuha niyo mula sa wine cellar." she said before placing the wine on the glass table carefully.

"You can go back inside now, thank you." I said before fishing my phone out of my pocket

I dialed the number of my secretary. Seconds later she picked it up.

"Yes, Sir?" she asked attentively.

"I want you to adjust my schedule. Move all of my three weeks schedule next month."

Kumunot ang aking noo nang hindi ako agad nakatanggap ng sagot mula sakanya, "Pardon, Sir?"

I scoffed. She can't believe it either. "You heard me." I said boredly.

"Sorry, Sir. But how about the meeting with the board?" tanong niya ng makabawi.

"Move it two days from now." I'm being impulsive again.

I heard the tapping sound of the keyboard on the other line, "Is that all, Sir?"

"I want you to book me a hotel in Surigao, a car too. Pick the VIP room, I want everything to be exclusive. I'll email you the island later." I demanded.

After hanging up, I called Attorney next.

"Lucky." said by a monotonous and deep voice of a man.

"Sorry for calling at this hour, do you have time, Tito?"

"Oh, it's fine, hijo. Ano 'yon?"

"Can you look for the company for me? Just for three weeks."

Gaya ng aking sekretarya hindi ako kaagad na nakatanggap ng sagot mula kay Attorney, "Why?" takang tanong nito.

"I'll take a break." I said flatly.

"Really!?" he exclaimed happily. I knew it, he'll be happy. For the past years all I did was to work and work. He suggested many times for me to take a break but all I did was to say no, "Magandang balita 'yan, hijo. Don't worry I am not that busy since I asked my son to take over some of my work, I can manage your company. So, enjoy your vacation and relax."

Ngumiti ako, "Thank you, Tito."

"You're welcome, hijo. Floyd will send you to the airport. Just contact him for the date and time." saad niya.

We talked about the company, what to handle, to do and to attend. My secretary will inform him again about those things. I thank him again before hanging up.

Hindi na ako nag-dalawang isip pa na ipagkatiwala ang kumpanya kay Attorney. When I was sixteen, he was the one who handled it, he handled it for two years before passing half of the responsibility on me, I was still studying that time, so he passed half of it, trained me and taught me some things.

I'll be more at ease to leave my company on someone who isn't my relative instead of any of my family members. We've been successful for years, and I just can't let the hard work of my grandfather and father to be handle by some money suckers, who, unfortunately happened my family members.

I pour the 2017 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Montrachet Grand Cru that has an average price of $7,924 and a maximum price of $108,000 on my glass. I looked at my glass before moving it slowly, I bought mine from London and all I can say is 576,072 pesos is all worth it.

I have collections of wine in my cellar, and this is one of my favorites.

Luxury stuffs, I really love it. I don't really mind spending some bucks for these things.

I sipped on my glass before putting it down, I fished out the Treasure Luxury Black cigarette from my pocket, that I bought for $67 per pack in North America, and this is very rare like its other siblings, you can only get them in two locations in North America, not everyone can carry this brand.

I placed it between my lips then light it up using my Aston Martin Zippo lighter.

I sighed after I puffed a smoke. My not so good habits, when will I get rid of this?
