Hi, Eoin.
Eoin Rae
Hey, Leigh. This is a surprise.
What's up?
Everleigh
I just want to thank you again for saving me.
Napakalaki ng utang na loob ko sa'yo.
Eoin Rae
Sabi ko naman sa'yo, wala 'yon. I just did the right thing.
Eoin Rae is typing...
And while we're here talking, I also want to say sorry for how I acted towards you at Axis. That was not cool.
Everleigh
Kalimutan na natin 'yon.
You already made up for it, big time.
Eoin Rae
Kahit na. Gusto ko pa ring humingi ng pasensya sa'yo dahil sa inasal ko. I realize now how uncomfortable it made you.
Eoin Rae is typing...
This is a lame excuse, but I was just so used to getting everything I want through persistence, you know? Nakalimutan kong may mga pagkakataon din na kahit anong gawin ko, hindi ko na makukuha ang gusto ko.
Everleigh
Yeah, well... at least you've been reminded of it. Persistence is a good trait to have naman, just as long as you use it the right way.
Everleigh is typing...
Anyway, Kuya Israel also wants to apologize for dismissing you from Axis hastily. He asked me to let you know that you're free to come back and work with us again anytime.
Eoin Rae
Nah, that's alright. Tama lang naman ang ginawa ni Sir Israel. I made a mistake, and it was within his rights as one of the firm's owners to sanction me as he saw fit.
Eoin Rae is typing...
Besides, despite my offense, he wrote me a really good letter of recommendation. Kaya madali akong natanggap sa bagong kumpanya na pinag-apply-an ko.
Everleigh
Wow. He did that? I didn't know.
Eoin Rae
Yup. Your brother-in-law is a good guy.
Everleigh
He is, isn't he? Anyway, congratulations on the new job! Guess we'll just see each other around?
Eoin Rae
Yeah, I guess we will. Take care, Leigh.
Everleigh
You too, Eoin. And, uhm... sana mahanap mo na ang tamang babae para sa'yo.
Eoin Rae
Thanks. Hope everything goes well for you and your boyfriend, too. He's one lucky guy. 😁
Everleigh
I know. 😉
And I'm really lucky to have him, too.
