Reclaiming the Crown

*flash flash flash*

Nakakabulag na flash ng camera ang sumalubong kay Eliza habang papasok siya sa kanyang opisina. Pakiramdam niya ay puputok ang ugat niya sa ulo sa sobrang inis. Kababalik lang niya sa bansa at eto agad sumalubong sa kanya.

Sa kabilang banda naman. Sa loob ng conference room, halos hindi mapakali ang mga department heads at mga pinagpapawisan kahit sagad na ang lamig ng aircon. Sino ba ang hindi? Ala sais ng umaga ng makatanggap sila ng memo tungkol sa emergency meeting sa araw ng pagbabalik ng kanilang boss kasabay ng pagputok ng balita.

Sabay sabay silang napalunok ng marinig ang pagbukas ng pinto.

"Goodmorning Madam"

"Anong maganda sa umaga? Kabablik ko lang after a month, eto agad ang bububgad sa akin pagkababa ko ng eroplano?! Did I trusted my company to the wrong employees?!" sigaw ni Eliza.

Wala ni isa ang nakasagot. They already know the drill, and that is to shut up. Walang dahilan ang makakapagpa kalma sa boss nila ngayon.

"Incompetent! How did you manage to lose one of the most sought-after model in just a month? Hindi na natin mababawi sa Katrina to cover our magazine this month which was supposed to be published this week!"

They are all doomed. Their boss is right. Masyado ng maraming backlog ang nangyari. They are trying to solve this huge mess kaso naabutan na sila ng boss nila.

"Get the hell out. All of you! Fix this mess or never go back here at all!" padabog na umalis si Eliza kasunod ang kanyang secretary. Now she needs to solve this problem immediately, within this day ASAP.

Eliza's POV

After hours of non stop phone calls, sa wakas nakahinga na rin ako ng maluwag. Napahilot ako sa ulo ko pag naaalala ko ang kaguluhan kaninang umaga.

*tok tok tok*

"Mam Mr.Silvestre is here."

Hayyyyyyy... Anong ginagawa ng unggoy na to dito?

"Let him in"

"Hi my lovely cousin" bungad sa akin ni Greyson

"Anong ginagawa mo dito Grey." - Eliza

"How did you manage to be the top trending topic of the business world within five hours after you came back. First, the news of Ms. Katrina Leviosa signing a contract to another magazine, which is a huge scandal on your part. But after an hour another trending topic just came saying that you manage to get Sarah Woods to cover for your magazine not only that, you manage to convince the owner of Hotel Real to be featured on the next issue and to be the setting of the photoshoot for the cover. Akala ko ba nagbabakasyon ka, kaya nga di na kita sinundan eh. Amazing cous'. Ang galing mo talaga. " - Greyson

" Talagang susundan mo ako kung sinama ko si Ana, kaya nga iniwan ko siya dito para magmanage since I trust her. At para di mo ako guluhin" -Eliza

"Mam I sorry for the mess that we have made. Nagulat talaga kami ng malaman namin na pumirma si Ms. Katrina sa kabilang magazine. Today was supposed to be her contract resigning as well as the photoshoot. Sorry po talaga" - Ana

"Walang problema sa akin yun, I actually expected it. Ang di ko matanggap ay kung paano nalaman ng media to. My face was all over there which only means na kailangan ko rin ipakita sa media kung paano ko to aayusin" - Eliza

"Okay okay, tigilan na natin tong topic na to. The important thing is you may lost a thousand but you gained millions my dearest cous'. CONGRATULATIONS! And to celebrate that, I would like to invite you to my wedding this month " - Greyson

"Wedding? Ikakasal na kayo ni Ana. Oh my, happy for both of you- wait does that mean--"

"Yes! Ana would like to file idefinite leave for our wedding and honeymoon!!" - Greyson

"What bakit biglaan? How am I supposed to find a reliever?" - Eliza

"Don't worry my dear cousin. Nakahanap na ako at bukas na bukas magrereport na siya sayo. Okay? So ba bye na. May food tasting pa kami. Let's go sweetheart" sabay takbo palabas habang hila hila ang secretary ko. Hindi na ako naka angal

That idiot!!

Hayyyy.

I need to calm down first. Everything will be okay. Basta si Grey, siguradong mapagkakatiwalan ang binigay niyang reliever ni Ana.

I really adore Grey and Ana's relationship. They remind me of those days. I think I need to call him.

~Eliza? You called? ~

"Please tell your girlfriend to stop messing with me. Matagal na tayong tapos kaya kung may away kayo, wag niyo na akong idadamay. That was very childish move on her. Kung ayaw niya magcover sa magazine ko, its fine I don't care. Hindi siya kawalan. Pero stop including me to your lives."

~I'm sorry~

"Stop saying that. Nakakasawa ng marining kang magsorry. Discipline your new girl, she makes me think she is just a low class biatch. Ayaw mo naman siguro masabihan na pumapatol ka sa isang low class diba? Goodbye"

Everything is gonna be fine. As long as I'm standing tall everything is gonna be fine
