Reckless

Chapter 1

"I'm tired of this!" I shouted and threw everything in front of me.

"Miss, please don't throw those-"

"Why don’t you shut up and move your ass off my house?!"

She burst out crying and ran away. How dare she tell me what to do? I'm so pissed off right now! I sat on the couch and tried to calm myself down. Nakakainis!

Dave calling...

"Hello?!"

"Ang init ng ulo, huh? Anyway, we need you for tomorrow's meeting. We can't discuss this without you of course..'' He said.

Yeah, right. Why did my mom leave me this fuckin' company anyway? Now I have no choice but to study this field and make our company successful and stable. Mom died four years ago and dad also died when I was a kid. He's a military man. I don't know why the heroes of our country should die instead of the people who mess our country with their dirty works.

"Hello? Katherine? Are you still there?"

“Fine. I’ll be there.” I rolled my eyes and hung up the call.

Calling Gio...

Why is everyone calling me when I’m pissed?!

"Hello?" I said.

"Where are you? I miss you so much."

Gio never fails to make me smile whenever he utters sweet words.He’s the only person that could calm me down during times like this.

"I miss you too."

"Is there something wrong? Your tone earlier is a bit different." He asked.

Gio knows me so much that he can recognize my mood by listening to me. We’ve been together for two years now, that explains why. I’m still not familiar with his moods though. He’s not that open.

"Nothing, honey. I'm fine. Let's meet up?”

He’s my assistant, but he was sent to another building to meet someone. It wasn’t that important so I’m not really needed there.

"I'm sorry. I have a meeting in fifteen minutes."

Hindi ako sumagot. I just don’t think I’m in the right mind right now. Baka siya pa ang mapagbuntunan ko ng galit. I also hung up the phone on Gio. Naiinis na din ako sa kanya. I know he’s busy and I understand that. I’m just not in the mood right now. Are you wondering why I'm so pissed?

Well, there's this girl from the other company. I had a meeting there and she confronted me.

"Oh! Katherine Valerio? How are you related to the famous Zeke Valerio?"

"He's my cousin," I said.

This girl's presence is so annoying. She even looked at me from head to toe and raised her eyebrow.The nerve of this girl! Ang sarap niyang ibalibag. Pasalamat siya at kaya ko magpigil.

"I’ve heard so many things about you. I can't believe you managed to close a deal with our company." She said.

What the hell is she talking about? She’s spitting shades on me and I don’t like the way she talks to me. Is she aware that I’m the CEO of my own company? If only I could do something to her right now, but there’s a lot of people around us. I won’t sacrifice my image for her.

"And your point? I managed to close the deal because I'm smart, Bitch."

I stood up head high and left the building with my annoying girl assistant for today since Gio is busy. I shouted out of anger in the middle of the traffic. Naiinis na nga ako doon sa babae sasabay pa itong traffic!

So that's what happened. I just can't get it off my mind. The way she insults me like she knows everything about me, but the truth is she really doesn't. She says those words like she’s trying to embarass me in front of those people. Well, you just don't mess up with Katherine Valerio.

"I want to take a break." Sabi ko sa secretary ko ngayon.

"Sige po, kumain na po kayo--"

"Stupid! What I mean is I want to take a leave for a month or two.."

I don't know why I hired this stupid secretary. She's trustworthy and smart, but sometimes she's just plain stupid. Gio is so busy that I need to hire another one in case he’s not around. That’s the reason why she’s here.

"You can't do that for now. Your schedule this week is full of meetings."

I really hate meetings. I’m just forced to do these things so that I won’t disappoint my mom who left everything to me. I don’t know why she didn’t give any to Ate Danica. She should work hard for this family too.

"After I finish, tell them to clear my schedule for a month. I’ll let Ate Danica to attend when they need my presence.” I said.

I’ll tell ate about this and she can’t say no to me. Once a year lang ako nanghihingi ng ganitong pabor sa kanya. Pag umayaw siya, then I’ll freeze all of her cards. She can’t live without those.

I already asked her so many times to help me manage the company, but she didn’t. I mean she tried, pero hindi nagtagal ay bumalik na siya sa pagiging gala niya.

My secretary nodded and put something in her small notebook. I stood up and went to my working office. I’m now at home. I’m done doing things at the office and I can work from home now.

"Hi bubbles!" I said in a cute tone when I saw my little puppy following me.

She's the cutest thing ever! I carried her and let her rest on the table beside me. She's a shih-tzu, so she's lazy and will lay down once you place her. I just need to go through these papers, approve some that I think is worth it and sign them up. Seems like easy work, but it isn't. That's what I thought at first too.

Gusto ko nalang matapos lahat ‘to at magpahinga. I’ve been working all day and I want to take a rest. This week will be a hell week for me, but after this I’ll get to spend time with myself and unwind.

"Katherine?" I raised my eyebrow when I heard Gio's voice.
