I parked my car inside the private parking space of my company, I won't and will never park beside my employees' vehicles, don't get me wrong I just want to be safe since I am already the CEO at the same time the President, and it was also suggested by my guardian, Atty. Fernan Santiago. The one who waited and trained me for years after that incident. The most trusted person I have right now.
I didn't mind the obvious glances of my employees, they're the same as usual, either frightened, pissed or nothing. I like the latter more. They know when and how to mind their own business.
I entered in my private elevator and clicked the top floor sign, I started to move my feet while waiting, tapping it on the clear and clean floor of my elevator, my brows knotted when I saw a blurry button, it's not clean. I grimace when I saw that dirt and immediately distanced myself. I patiently waited while glancing at that dirt, I really hate dirt and unorganized things.
Huminga ako nang malalim ng bumukas ang pinto. I started to walk towards my office, and I was greeted by my secretary halfway, I just nodded.
A loud sigh escaped from my mouth when I sat on my Vitra Grand Executive Highback Chair that I bought for $5,240.
Inilibot ko ang aking paningin sa paligid habang hinihintay ang pagpasok ng aking sekretarya, she'll be here to announce my schedule for today.
Noel Corp. is a Conglomerate or Group of Companies, it consists main or parent and sub companies. Different kind of businesses, I am the one who makes the decision, pursuing the company's mission, vision, strategy and operations management, I also maintain the financial success of the business.
I clicked the intercom before speaking, "Inform the CFO to ready his reports, we'll talk after my appointments."
The CFO or Chief Financial Officer needs to report directly to the CEO, which is me. And he is also required to present it to the board of directors and provide it to shareholders and regulatory bodies. The CFO's job is to analyze and review financial data, reporting financial performance, preparing budgets, and monitoring expenditures and costs.
After a few minutes I heard three knocks and my secretary slowly opened the door, peeking, looking if I am doing something, I nodded to give her a signal.
My brows furrowed when I saw her walked nervously towards my place, "Sir, Nandito po si Madam Kristina." I see, that's why.
I looked away and said, "Send her out." without thinking twice.
Ayaw kong makipag-usap kahit na kanino sa ngayon, specially to any of my family members, we were never close at the first place, the only family that I will acknowledge are now my dead parents.
We never get along even before, I guess in every family there's always the toxic side, unfortunately both sides of my family are like that, I never experience such event... family gathering, reunion or what.
Well, my relationship with my cousins' just fine, we're not that close but I don't really hate them, I just don't know if the feeling is mutual though. And I'm talking about my cousins on my mother side, I only have one cousin on my father side, which is Aunt Kristina's daughter, Karina Noel. And we never like each other. Our personalities will never click, we don't get along at all. I remember when our grandparents are still alive, we always fight. And believe it or not I was the one who's being bullied, always. I mean she got the personality of his mom. I may be spoiled but I'm not a war freak.
When the accident happened, I was only sixteen that time, young and emotional, I needed the presence of people specially any of my family members. But they didn't come even once. We were never close, but we are still a family, they didn't check on me even after I recovered my physical strength.
"Sir, Nagpupumilit po si Madam Kristana na pumasok dito." she said nervously while glancing at the door behind her.
That Aunt of mine is persistent. They don't know when to back down or to stop.
I shot one of my brows up. "What did I say? Are you deaf!?"
She was startled, "S-sorry, Sir. I'll call the guards immediately."
I sighed heavily. It isn't my intention to shout at her, I am just pissed after remembering the past, maybe I am being bitter, I was neglected by my own family members what should I do? What should I feel then?
I am no saint.
