Calix's Pov
           "What we're you thinking, Clint Gomez?"  Kunot ang noong tanong ko sa isa sa mga kaibigan ko.
       By the way, I'm Calix Samaniego, CEO of the Samaniego Group of Companies. Our company was dealing with automotive. At the age of twenty-eight years old, I was already called one of the most sought-after bachelors in the country. Not just because of my looks. Most especially, the reason was that I am a billionaire. 
         I can get whatever I want in just a snap of my hands. And I don't care who comes in my way.
       I'm in my position right now because I'm capable of doing anything I can to be at the top of everything. I won't settle for less. I don't mind whatever people might call me. Wala akong pakialam sa kung ano ang tingin nila sa akin.
         And that includes women. Wala akong pakialam sa iisipin nila sa akin. Makukuha ko kung sino man ang gusto kong makasama o maikama.
        But my friend Clint's idea right now was ridiculous.
         "C'mon! Just for fun. Aren't you bored with all of this?" tanong niya pa sa aming tatlo nina Dave at Sean.
       "So, that's why you were looking that way at that newbie a while ago?" Sean asked Clint.
        "Gusto mo na pagpustahan natin ang babae na 'yon? You are heartless, bro. Akala ko si Calix lang ang walang puso." Komento ni Sean Lopez na may kasama pa na pasaring sa akin.
       "Hey! Im not the only womanizer here," depensa ko sa sarili. Well, at least aminado ako.
         "True, But you are the worst and most ruthless among us," dagdag pa ng tahimik na si Dave Cruz.
         "Hey! The betting was Clint's idea. Not mine. So, whos the worse and ruthless?" I asked them.
         Kibit balikat na sumagot naman si Clint. "Well, just like I said, this is just for fun. I know walang makakahindi sa atin. But I want to try our charms on that woman." Paliwanag nito.
        "Now I'm curious about that woman," Dave said, dahil kadarating lang nito. Kaya hindi nito nakita ang babaeng tinutukoy ni Clint.
       "Don't expect too much, dude. Pero feeling ko talaga may kakaiba sa babae na 'yon, eh. Kaya pumayag na kayo, okay?" pangungumbinsi pa rin sa amin ni Clint.  Mukhang hindi niya talaga kami titigilan.
         At ang babae na gusto niya na pagpustahan namin ay 'yung bagong pasok na Junior Marketing Associate. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nakita niya sa babae na iyon. Pero dahil bored din ako, pagbibigyan ko siya.
         "Alright, what's your bet?" I asked, na ikinaligon nila sa akin.
         "Seriously? Papatulan mo ang kahibangan ni Clint?" Hindi makapaniwala na tanong ni Sean sa akin.
        "I'm bored also. Pagbigyan na natin siya," I said to them. "Besides, wala namang mawawala sa akin." Confident pa na dagdag ko.
        "Woah! Confident much, Mr. Womanizer? Hindi pa tayo nagsisimula." Kontra agad ni Clint sa sinabi ko.
         "Tsk! Whatever, Clint. Ano ang pusta mo?" I asked him again.
        "Our villa in the Maldives." Walang gatol na sagot niya.
        "Seryoso ka talaga sa pustahan na ito, ha. Okay, pagbibigyan kita. My bet is on one of my buildings in Cebu." Hindi patatalo na saad ko.
           "Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala sainyong dalawa." Naiiling na turan ni Dave kaya naman napatingin kami sa kanya. "Just because you two are bored? Pagpupustahan niyo ang walang kamalay-malay na empleyado? Wala ba talaga kayong awa?" Sermon pa nito sa amin.
         "So, it's a no for Dave. How about you, Sean?" I asked him, ignoring Dave's opinion.
         "I already had a warning from dad. Kaya, kayo muna. Pass muna ako." Sean replied.
        "It means this is a one-on-one, Clint," I told him. "Pwede ka pang umatras." Mayabang na tanong ko pa sa kanya. Well, I'm confident that I will win this bet.
        "I won't. May the best man win, dude."  Palaban din na sagot nito. Tignan na lang natin. I smirked at that thought.
          Wala akong laban na iniurungan. At wala akong hindi kayang gawin para lang manalo. Kahit pa sa mababaw na pustahan namin ni Clint.
          I could get that girl easily. And Clint's villa in the Maldives is not a bad prize at all. 
Kaya naman sinimulan na namin ni Clint na kumilos para sa pustahan namin. Siyempre may edge ako dahil sa kompanya ko nagtatrabaho ang babae na pinagpustahan namin. But knowing Clint, hindi ito basta magpapatalo. Kaya kailangan kong manigurado para ako ang manalo. I don't mind about the bet prize. But what matters most to me is my pride. Walang ibang dapat manalo sa pustahan namin kung hindi ako. Whatever it takes.
"Olivia, bring that Isabella Montreal to my office now." Maawtoridad kong utos sa secretary ko sa intercom.
"Copy, Sir. I'll bring her to your office. Just give me a minute," Olivia replied, then hung up the phone.
This is it. Let the fight begin.
