Chapter 38: Maharlika

Kyran sat comfortably on the sofa and he even put his feet on the center table.

"Why are you always hungry?!" Jase asked furrowed and they made their seats. "Are you pregnant?!"

"Yeah, I am pregnant." Kyran held his stomach, "pregnant by watermelon, I am going to give birth to a watermelon."

They didn't mind him.

"Nate, I saw you are eating chocolates, can I have some? I'm really hungry." He blurted out.

"I don't have one." Nate plainly answered.

"But, I saw you eating before you entered your car." He said innocently. "You hid it in your pocket." He looks at Nate's suit pocket.

Nate got the chocolate in his suit pocket and threw it on Kyran's face.

"Ouch! It's really not from your heart. If my tummy gets hurt I will blame you."

"Then, bring it back to me." Nate glares at him.

Kyran starts to eat the chocolate and his mouth is full.

"Can you eat properly?" Kier asked.

"Iamreallyhungerrry."

"Kier, did you have a misunderstanding with the maharlika?" Jase asked.

"I think there's something wrong in my company, too." He said while thinking deeply.

"Company? You have company, Jase?" Kyran asks while chewing the chocolate in his mouth.

He is not in himself.

No one replied to Kyran's questions.

A long silence.

"What the fvck?!" Jase reacted and covered their nose.

"What the hell is that smell?!" Nate second the motion.

They all covering their noses and Kyran is suppressing his smile.

"It smells like an egg!" Jase

Kyran couldn't help himself from laughing.

"Sorry," he laughs. "It suddenly appear." He apologized while laughing.

"Daman! Stop eating egg! It really smells bad." Jase.

"Damn it! We are in an air conditioned room!" Nate.

Kier turns off the aircon and opens the window of his office. The smell spread all over the whole room and it's really awful.

Nate came to the window and gaps a air outside.

"Use the bathroom!" Jase said as he followed Nate, he can't breathe anymore.

Kyran is just laughing his ass off.

"Sorry I didn't mean it. It suddenly came out." Kyran reasoned.

Kier gets the spray in his drawer and spray in the air and the smell disappears.

"My god!" Jase exasperated.

Nate came back to his seat while Jase stayed in the window. Kier didn't open the aircon again and let the natural air come into the room.

The three men forgot why they came.

Jase and Nate keep on complaining.

It smells like an expired egg.

Kyran fart again.

"Kyran! Use the bathroom!" Jase shouted.

Kyran ran to go to the bathroom while laughing.

"Go to the kitchen, walk straight and turn right." Kier guided him. There's a guest CR there.

"You know the maharlika group, right?" Jase asked Kier.

Kier nodded his head in response.

"Nothing, I just want to know." Jase chuckles.

"Then why the damn are you here?!" Kier

"Woooaah! Chill! We didn't mean to interrupt your quality time and slash your loving loving with your wife." He said while raising his hand in the air, it's like, he is surrendering to the police.

Kier walked to the mini fridge in his room and got a glasses from it and got a rum in the upper corner where his collection of alcohol was.

"We are going to Europe since you didn't make the contract with the Italian." He knows that Kier didn't showed up in the meeting.

"We should be thankful they are interested and they like the performance of our company. I contacted them and they want to reschedule the meeting." Jase informed him.

Kier poured their glasses.

"We need you there moron! And what's with you? We are not yet done with our project yet you rush to come home." He cringes.

"If you are a married man, you will prioritize your wife more than anything and besides business men heard about our company in Europe and they are interested. I let the contract get split in my hands because I know I will get more." Kier explains.

Jase is thinking and didn't respond. He is weighing his answer if he will do the same.

"Even in return it's your company?" This time Nate is the one who spoke. He knows how Kier handles a company. He didn't let the opportunity pass in his palm.

"Even if I can't make it in Europe I still have my company here." He confidently answered but didn't answered it directly. "You will understand me if you got married."

"But, lad! If they aren't interested on us we will surely lose a treasure and why suddenly go home? There's no problem here." Jade insisted.

"So yeah, which is more important? Your company or your wife?" Nate challenges him.

"Both." Kier shortly answered.

"You can't choose both, only one." Nate.

Kier sighed. "They are both important to me. I can't lose any one of them. If the company needs me then I will be there and vice versa and if they both need me, I will choose my company. I know my wife will understand." He confidently answered.

Jase agreed.

"Sometimes you can't choose one of two because they are the same equal to you." Jase. "If Kier chose his wife, what would he feed to his wife? Nothing, he needs his company to support his family and provide."

"Yeah, speaking of family. When are we going to be a godfather?" Nate asked.

Kier stops from drinking.

"If you just didn't interrupt us, you are expecting it now."

Jase and Nate are both made a commotion.

"So, do we need to go now?" Jase teases him. "I can take care of your responsibilities in your company but of course, you will pay me in return."

"You won't trick me again, idiot! I already sent the money in your bank account!" Kier said angrily.

"Damn! I nearly got divorce and I spent millions to the two of you." He murmured.

Jase and Nate laugh. They got money from him.

They ask for payment when he is sick and Ethan charges him double when he gets sick.

Payment for looking after his company. Nate did the investigation and he already made it a move to for not spreading it to the employee as well as outside the company while Jase, he was the one faces all the meeting and sign what needs to be signed.

"I will be poor if I let you two do my work." He said in a stressful way. He felt like he was cheated by his friends.

They tricked him. They take advantage of his sickness. This is the reason why he wants to work and got up from the bed. He is not at peace while he knows his friend are the one who is looking for his company. Their service is so fucking expensive.

"Yeah, we will meet the Italian and go to Europe, I think you need to pay us again. We will go there in behalf of you and I will apologize too for not showing up in the first meeting." Jase teases him. He is happy, he got money again from him.

"Fuck you! You are one of the bosses." He cursed him.

"Yeah, we own it and we need to be there. The Italian wants us to be there and I have a business meeting in Finland." Nate said.

Kier put his hand in his head. He uses it as a support in his head.

"And, you have business meeting too in the UAE. Three days business meeting," Jade informed him.

"I already set the schedule, is it already next week or next month? Or after the meeting in Europe. I forgot it. Just ask your assistant. "

He can't go, they need to celebrate the birthday of his wife.

"We will fly to Europe tomorrow. We already contacted Bryden, he will be the one who will drive the plane." Jase informed them.

"Of course, he will! He is the pilot." Nate sneered.

"Fuck you, Lad!" Jase showed his middle finger to Nate.

"If you can't come to the UAE and Europe. Don't worry you got us." Jase smirked. "Just don't forget the payment, okay." His smirk widened.

Kier showed them his middle finger.

They heard the voice of Kyran and they all looked in the door, "Selene, why are you standing there?"
