CHAPTER 15
IRIS LOU POV
“Ladies and honorable men, Ninoy Aquino International Airplane terminal invites you to Philippines. The neighborhood time is 8:00 Am. For your security and the security of those around you, if you don’t mind stay situated together with your situate belt secured and keep the passageway.”
I woke up to the announcement of a flight attendant and it looks like we have landed at the airport of Aquino international airport and it looks like I also slept for a long time because I heard it was morning.
I just yawned and looked ahead before waiting for the plane door to open. When we landed and opened the door of the plane, the people came down but I was still sitting because I didn’t want to get stuck with them and go out first.
When time pass by of the other passengers already leave, then a man stand up in a fron of me and i can only see his back I didn’t notice him before. I can’t see his face because he just turned his back and walked out of the door of the plane and the posture of his body seemed familiar to me but I just shook my head because it’s impossible that he’s the man I haven’t seen in years.
When they all got down, I immediately stood up and opened the container of belongings above. I tried to take the suitcase I was carrying that contained my belongings. Because I didn’t take a private plane because I would be distracted and that’s what I don’t want to happen.
I got off the plane and when I got off I saw a lot of people I just walked to the exit of the airport and when I came out I just felt the heat of the weather I quickly waited for a taxi because it looks like no one will fetch me now because dexter is busy right now, he is the temporary owner of my company here in the philippines and no one knows yet that I am the real owner of that company.
When a car stopped in front of me and I saw a taxi, I immediately got on. “Where are we ma’am?” The driver said that when I got in, I would just get in his car.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Drive at Lou E. Corporation.” I answered him before I looked out the window and as the car start that I was riding in, my eyes caught sight of the man familiar to me who was looking at my behavior but I just ignored that. I could just look out of the car at the operation of the car. So I could see the street I was passing and when I looked at it, many buildings had changed. Poles and street lights were also placed on the road and the formerly dirty road was cleaned.
So I went to the company, I just wanted to see what was going on there and how it was running while I was away. And I will also observe my employees there. Not long after, we arrived in front of Lou E corporation which is my company. I paid the man first before I went out with my suitcase which was not very heavy. When I arrived in front of the Company, I was immediately blocked by the guard.
“Miss ID before you can enter, I’m just doing my job.” he blocked me. It’s good and the guard isn’t rude here, it looks like Dexter is good at handling the employees here. I showed him my ID which marked Iris Lou Ephraim. When he saw that, he was surprised and would bowed properly but I stopped him and signaled him not to make any noise, so he nodded before letting me in.
I was still dragging my suitcase while walking inside. When I entered, I went straight to the hallway where the elevator was because I knew where the office dexter temporarily turned into an office while he was in charge of this Company.
When the elevator opened, I immediately entered and hit the 48th floor. It worked while I was just standing and looking at my reflection on the elevator wall and I could see my body. I noticed that I was not the former Iris, I was far away from the former me.
I also noticed that I was a bit thinner and my body had curves and I wasn’t a bit fat then but I still looked sexy. Whenever I also worry about the times when I was pregnant with my son Elias, I feel like a little bit chubby because my two cheeks got fat and I just ask cleopard bought everything that i want to eat. I also tried to love cleopard but Eliot is still the man in my heart.
I remember when I bit Cleopards’ arm because of the bite and I was also very hurt during my childbirth because of the time Elias came out of my womb I was airy then while I was holding Cleopard in my hand who was very worried because of pain I felt.
I also get hurt at those times and seasons because the person I thought would stay by my side and he would do those things was not with me. Cleopard was always by my side and always there all the time and he was also act as a father of Elias even though he knew that my son Elias was not his blood.
He was by Elias side from the time my son got out in my womb until he grew up, cleopard was still by his side. He was not tired of playing games and taking care of my son. Sometimes I also think that I hope he is just the father of my child so that I will not be in trouble and hurt more. But it’s hard to teach the heart to love the person you don’t truly love I was back in a trance when the elevator suddenly opened. So I got out and walked to Dexter’s office.
