By Your Side

Chapter 3

Greggy

"Anong oras daw pupunta si Imee ko?" CJ asked, I looked at him. "Imee mo? Tanga ewan ko sayo, tinatanong nga ako kanina eh"

"So gusto niya rin ako?" His eyes became lighter. "Gusto ka lang makita, hindi ibig sabihin gusto ka rin, hangin neto"

"Ganun na rin yun, mamayang 3pm na" He uttered. "Magkaka-lovelife na rin ako sa wakas!" He continue.

"Ewan ko sayo, magtrabaho ka nalang" I uttered and pushed him outside. "Kamusta si Irene? Kayo na ba?"

"Hindi mo 'ko tatantanan? Manahimik ka dyan" I hissed and closed the door. "Nagtatanong lang naman eh"

I sat on my chair and stare at my phone. "Sir meeting starts in 5 minutes po" Via uttered, my secretary.

I nodded so she walked out, I dialed Irene's phone cause it's already 1:30. She answer it naman immediately.

"Yes, why?" She asks, softly.

"Saan ka na nyan? Uwi ka na ba sa condo mo? Sunduin kita, I'm not busy" I uttered but CJ walked in to my office.

"Hindi ka pwede uy, your meeting will starts in just 4 minutes" He answered, I looked at him, deadly. I'm sure narinig yun ni Irene

"Tingnan mo? Greggy you had meeting and that's a quite important. Also, I'm with Dawn so hindi pa ako uuwi" She uttered.

"But you are more important" I whispered, "What? I don't understand" She replied.

"Nothing, so what time you'll go home? I'll fetch you"

"Greggy naman eh, I'm okay! You don't have to be worry" She uttered, I looked at CJ who's now preventing his laughs.

"Sige na nga but Irene, always update me. Kung pwede minu-minuto" I uttered, seriously.

"Ay, ano ako bata? Stop being like that, Gregorio" Irene replied. "Sir, start na po ng meeting niyo" Via informs.

"Pumasok ka na sa meeting mo, kesa yang nangungulit ka sakin" She hissed and ended the call.

I looked deadly at CJ, "Alam mo? Sana hindi na kita nilapit kay Imee!" I hissed and left. "Hey! Hindi ko naman alam na gusto mo pala si Irene"

Irene

"Matindi yata tama sayo ni Greggy?" Dawn teases me. I rolled my eyes, "I-i don't care" I shuttered.

"Oh ba't ganyan sagot mo?" She asked, giggling. "Natamaan ka na rin anoh?" She continues, I looked at her, immediately.

"H-ha? Of course not!" I accidentally exclaimed. "Oh bakit biglang napasigaw yan?" Cristina asked, beside us.

We looked at her and kasama niya sila Karen and Small, inshort yung malalakas mang-asar

"Eh kasi tinanong ko siya kay Gre--" hinampas ko yung bunganga niyang madaldal. "Aray!" She yelped and touched her mouth.

"Deserve! Masyado kasing madaldal" I uttered, "Tinanong ka lang naman kung natamaan ka na rin may Greg--"

"Hindi ka talaga titigil?!" I showed my fork. "What?! Natamaan ka na kay Greggy?" Karen asked, giggling.
