Joseph Vincent Novels & Stories

Nadatnan namin ang secretary ni Kobi na Vincent ang pangalan at kaagad akong ipinakilala ni Manong sa kanya bilang personal driver ng boss. "Siya na ba? Nice to meet you Nichole! Sana magtagal ka!" nakangiti niyang sagot sa akin. Nahihiya naman akong napatango. "Hoyy Vincent....huwag kang ganiyan. Huwag mong takutin si Nichole kung hindi malalagot ka kay Boss!" nakangiting sabat naman ni Manong.

Ang lalaki ng hakbang niya at hindi ko siya kayang sabayan. "Ilang taon ka na?" tanong niya sa mababang boses. "18 po," sagot ko. "Kailan ka napulot ni Santiago?" tanong niya. Napulot talaga? "Kusa po siyang dumating...ang ibig ko pong sabihin ay matagal na po ako sa simbahan, at nang iwan ako ni Padre Vincent ay si Padre Tiago na po ang naging tagapangalaga ko."

Himig nababagot na tanong ni Vincent sa kanya. "Sean Legaspi, does he ring a bell?" Sandaling natahimik ang kabilang linya at ilang segundo din ang lumipas bago nagsalita si Vincent. "Yeah, he's currently the general manager of my modelling company. What about him?" "Is he a good person?" Muling natahimik si Vincent at maya-maya pa'y bumuhaglit ng tawa. Hearing him laugh like that makes him feel annoyed dahil bihira niya lang itong marinig na ganun.

Venom said nothing. I have nothing to do today. That was why I went home early. I was planning on playing around with Sophie all day just to keep myself entertained, but looks like she was entertaining herself by being with somebody else. I think she was having so much freedom and I didn’t like it. My phone started ringing. “Vincent.” “Boss, nahanap na po namin siya.” It was Joe, one of my men. “Who?”
