Chapter Fourteen

"Another bouquet of flowers for miss Meisie Demeter Ortega, huh." Pangaasar ni miss Kathy.

Since the first day Isaiah left for his business trip, he started sending me  flowers everyday. Lagi din syang nagpapadala ng pagkain para sa breakfast, lunch at dinner. Minsan may snacks and drinks pa, of course kasama na doon ang para kay miss Kathy, or kapag alam nyang may iba pa akong kasama bukod sa manager ko.

Kaya pala bago sya umalis, sinabihan nya akong lagi syang i-update sa schedule ko. Ito pala ang plano nya...Sinisimulan nya na pala ang panliligaw sa akin, kahit kami na naman. Napapangiti nalang ako kapag panay ang pangaasar sa akin ni miss Kathy. It's so sweet of Isaiah...hindi ko lang naisip noon na ganito pala sya kasweet dahil dati sobrang snob nya at cold pa.

"Kakapadala lang ng flowers kahapon saka nung isang araw, meron na naman today. Magpatayo na kaya tayo ng flower shop, what do you think, Meis?" Miss Kathy continued teasing me.

I just chuckled at her.

"May breakfast, lunch at dinner pang kasama. Grabe, grabe. Sana all talaga." She added while shaking her head.

"Thanks," I said to my hairstylist when she finished fixing my hair.

I have a magazine photoshoot and interview today. It's my favorite showbiz magazine so I quickly accepted their offer to interview me  and be their front cover for the rest of the month.

I'm wearing a beige knitted bodysuit, a terno ivory jacket and shorts, with a maroon thigh boots. My makeup is also simple, with nude color lipstick and eyeshadow. My hair is part in the middle with diamonds and pearls metal hairpins in both sides.

Miss Kathy is sitting on the couch beside the door of my dressing room, at sabay kaming napatingin ng paglabas ng hairstylist ko ay may dumating naman na isa pang staff ng Magazine. Akala ko sasabahin na ako nito na mag-ready para sa shoot, pero iba pala ang pakay.

"Miss Meisie, may delivery po para sainyo..." Pagkasabi non' ng staff, may sumunod na dalawang delivery guy na may hawak ng mga paper bags.

Sikat na restaurant ang logo na nakatatak sa mga paper bags kaya alam ko na kaagad kung ano ito.

"Uh, thank you po." Sambit ko pagkaabot sa akin ng isang paper bag. "Pakibigay nalang po sa ibang crew ang mga pagkain..." Dugtong.

"Okay po, miss Meisie." Ani ng staff tapos pinasunod sakanya paalis ang mga delivery guy.

"Mukhang busy si mafia boyfriend, huh. Nalate ng one hour ang usual time ng pagdeliver ng lunch mo..." Ani miss Kathy na nginitian ko lang.

"Let's just be thankful that he always sent us food, miss. At least hindi mo na kailangan lumabas, diba?"

Miss Kathy shrugged her shoulder. "May point ka dyan...anong menu today?" Aniya at kinuha ang hawak kong paper bag at sinilip ang laman nito.

The food Isaiah sent for me is a seafood sandwich, a shaved brussels sprout salad with pomegranate and an orange juice in the bottle. Kinuha na ni miss Kathy ang kanya tapos inalagay sa vanity table ko ang para sa akin. Nang naupo na ulit ako para kumain ay saktong tumawag si Isaiah. I immediately accepted his video call.

"Hey," I greeted him.

"Did your lunch arrived?" He asked.

"Yup, kakadating lang..." Pinakita ko sakanya ang mga pagkain sa lamesa ko. "Thanks for this."
