Martinez Corporation holds their 3rd quarterly departmental meeting on the last day of September. Regina, being the CFO of the company, gets busy checking and reviewing the reports from the accounting and finance departments. Diane on the other hand, is at her office busy thinking of some other plans. A little while, pumasok ang assistant niya at may iniabot sa kanyang mga reports.
Diane wasn't really paying much attention to what her assistant was talking about the works to be done. After Sander was explaining things to her, she just said..
"Alex, do you want to go lunch with me?"
It would be great to have lunch with your boss, right? And oo syempre, gustong-gusto makasama ni Sander na kumain ang babaeng nagpapatibok ng puso niya lately. At saan kaya sila kakain? Sa mamahaling restaurant kaya? Magmumukha naman yung date. O baka sa JolliMee, yung malapit lang dito? His boss knows very well that he very much like to eat there. Kahit araw-arawin pa. Pero kahit saan pa siya yayain ng boss niya na mag-lunch, syempre hindi siya tatanggi. Kaya ang sagot niya, "Oo, naman.. Miss D."
Dinagdagan niya ng formal address sa dulo ng sentence since nasa office sila.
"Ang tagal mo namang nakasagot." Sabi ni Diane. "Akala ko ayaw mo."
Sander flashes a sweet smile and says, "Basta't ikaw."
During lunch, nag-antay sina Gab, Lynn, Justine, at Angel kay Sander sa cafeteria. Most days, sabay silang kumain except kung may other plans ang ilan sa kanila. But today they've waited for too long until it's 12:35pm and Sander was still not there.
"Lalafang tayo in 15 minutes, tapos chikabels pa in 30 minutes, pero kailangan na nating mag-worklalu by 1pm." Impatient na sabi ni Justine habang tinitignan ang oras sa kanyang phone. "Asan na ba kasi bebe boi Sander?
"Grabe naman si Lady Dragon. Gugutumin ba niya ang kaibigan natin sa sobrang dami ng utos?" Sabi ni Angel at siniko siya ng mga kaibigan niya dahil walang preno ang kanyang bibig as usual when it comes to the boss.
"Binigyan nga ng house at car pero yataps-yataps naman sa mga gawain sa opisina. Ayoko na palang mag-apply bilang assistant niya. Babuuush." Hirit pa ni bakla.
"Kayo talaga puro kayo nega pagdating kay ma'am Diane." Ani Gab, the one who's always less negative about boss Diane. "Kung talagang ganyan kalupit si miss D, walang assistant na magtatagal sa kanya at magtitiis sa ugali niya. Nakita n'yo naman, nakasama na natin siya sa mga salo-salo at party. Okay naman siyang kasama, diba?"
"Oo. Pero pagdating sa work nag-iiba siya ng anyo, nagiging dinosaur siya." Sagot ni Angel. "Aray! Ano ba, nakadalawa na kayo ha!" Sigaw niya nang kinurot siya ng mga kaibigan niya.
"Malay natin, sabay na silang kumain ni Sander." - Gab
"Kung ganun, kumain nalang tayo. Nagugutom na ako eh." - Sabi naman ng girlfriend niyang si Lynn.
