THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 39. INSENSITIVE BASTARD
After dropping the call, I felt weird. The gravity of what I had concluded gradually started to dawn on me and I knew I had flunked a very big opportunity. I could have asked for an interview with the chairman in exchange for taking down the article but I knew my conscience wouldn’t let me rest afterward. As if Stanley had been waiting for an opportunity to mock me, he sent for me immediately and pointed to the couch for me to have my seat, which I did with a trembling body. I knew what was to come from him and I just had to prepare myself thoroughly. “I heard you refused to take down the article” he started and my left hand found its way to the top of my right one, pinching all the fingers orderly as I tried to ease my nervousness “Ah… Yes sir. I did tell them to leave the article on our home page” I responded, my head hung low Even if I would be bracing myself up for whatever banters he would throw, looking up to see his expression and mocking face would make it worse and unbeara
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 40. AT YOUR WEAKEST
Marcus went home with a bruised face after the brawl that went on between him and Monica. The gemstones attached to the purse had made several scratches that made his mother raise an eyebrow as soon as he stepped in.“Call him right now! How dare she disfigure the face of my son this way?” she screamed and the maid rushed to inform the Chairman about the madam’s order.“You don’t have to make a fuss. I don’t even want to get married to a tiger like her. She’s a sly fox and I’m sure she won’t want the marriage too” he snapped at his mother who came back to him with a first aid box“Just stay still” she yelled at herAfter treating his wound, he went out in anger to meet Darwin who was already at the bar having a drink.“I heard your face got scratched. The person you met this time is surely tougher than you” Darwin mocked but he just ignored it as he took his seat.The bartender served him his favorite drink as he explained everything that ensued between him and Monica.“Really? It was
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 41. THE APOLOGY
PETALS POVI planned to visit Pamela again after leaving work in order to confirm if the broken windows had been fixed but I got a text from Irene that Monica needed us badly. I knew the content of the text without her having to explain further because we all knew what our weaknesses and problems so it was not new.Immediately I saw the text, I knew her father had acted up again and it was one of the days when she was at her weakest.“Oh Monica, please be fine” I kept muttering to myself, trying hard not to panic as I packed up for the day and left for Irene’s house.The rain suddenly poured down when I dropped down from the bus so I had to wait for the taxi I ordered to come before moving to Irene’s house where I met them wailing in the rain.How broken could she be for her to cry this much? I wanted to ask what happened to so bad but I knew that it was not the appropriate time and place so I just called out to them in order to join the crying session.“I told you both never to cry
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 42. I INSIST
PETALS’ POVI was at the office when the interview with Chairman Antonio came up and he apologized to whole public for the trouble his sons caused to the people and the employee involved.“I am sorry that I am lacking as a father. I apologize for every inconveniences their actions might have caused. I will make it up to everyone affected and as from today, the waitress will be under the care and welfare of our company” he stated and gave a small bowEveryone in the office clapped at his humbleness and I couldn’t close my mouth in awe. He was a man I respected all my life and with everything he had been doing, my respect for him was only increasing rapidly and I was sure that would be the same for almost everyone, seeing their reactions.“He’s just so humble and meek. Not everyone would be willing to apologize publicly for their sons’ mistake. They would only try to cover it up with money instead” I muttered, trying hard not to blush as I waited for the water for my coffee to boil“You
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 43. SEE YOU THERE
His teary hooded eyes bore into mine as I watched him look at me after insisting that I should be at the dinner party with him. I didn’t know the right answer to give since I didn’t want to hurt both his feelings and that of Mei.Stammering, I answered “Hmm.. if that’s what… that’s what you want then… I … I have no choice”, finally surrendering, there was nothing I could do after all.With a heart fluttering wink, he blurt out “I will see you there” before excusing himselfI was torn between wanting to run away because of Mei and seeing what the party itself hold since I had nothing doing. I knew that Mei liked him a lot so I didn’t want to be a disturbance to her love story since she rarely falls in love with people but once she does, she tries all her best to keep it.“I have so much pride as a human but I don’t mind or keep it when it comes to the person I love. I go all in and all the way” she once told me sincerely and I could see that trait in her relationship with Ray even thou
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 44. YOU CAN TRY AGAIN
Pamela came back to work since her leave was over and Petals couldn’t be happier. She didn’t waste any time in rushing over to the company’s café where they usually meet and saw her in a stunning orange knee length gown and white blazer to fit, her white covered shoe was also dazzling from afar as Pamela glowed in her own halo.“Wow! Is this the outcome of breaks? You look so dashing and your glow is blinding” Petals wowed as she closed in on her but Pamela was only blushingBrushing the tip of her hair to the back of her ear, she responded “I decided to step it up a bit but I guess everyone is getting hit with my hotness” Petals paused at her shameless for some seconds before they suddenly burst into laughter together. Admitting her sentence, Petals said “You are indeed stunning, I am also a victim of getting hit with your hotness” before they dragged each other to a seat where they caught up on everything they had missed about each other.“Don’t you think you need to find a new hou
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 45. KILL HIM
We settled at a table and few minutes later, Pamela and Stanley were both ushered to the same table.“Oh my! Petals you also came?” Pamela remarked innocently and I tried giving an awkward smile“Well it happened that way” I said to her, avoiding the gaze of Stanley“I didn’t know you had connections with the host. Wow! You are full of surprises” she expressed further and for some reasons, I felt the need to brag.“The host is my best friend and we have been friends since high school” I spelt out, making Pamela mouth opened for a split second“Wow! That’s so nice. I never knew about that but I am jealous that you know influential people” she blurt out and my eyes rolled immediately“As you should be jealous” I thought to myself, fanning my neck with my hand.Both Stanley and Ray kept silent and watched us display whatever we had up our sleeves until Irene showed up again, this time she went to Ray directly.“Mr. Ray, I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you properly the other time but I have be
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 46. RAGING EMOTIONS
I didn’t know why I ran away when I didn’t even know the context of his call in the first place but the thought of whom he gave the order to be killed for was making me sweat and shiver at the same time.I wanted to naturally blend into the crowd after running away from his side but it was a bit difficult, fck it! I was always poor at the suppressing my emotions and I knew it would put me into trouble someday.Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped with a little shout before turning to see the same person I was running from standing right in front of me.My mouth parted open but words wouldn’t come out of my throat no matter how I tried.“What’s wrong? Is something the matter?” he asked, his brows raising alongside his wordsWhat’s wrong? Man, you just ordered for a killing few minutes ago and you are right now in front of me, with your hands in your pocket and an innocent face as if you did nothing.“Nothing, What… what.. could.. I mean” I became disorganized before I to
