Every Moment with You

CHAPTER 12

Kinilig ako sa mensahe niya. Dali-dali akong nagreply sa kanya.

How are you able to compose a message? Aren't you supposed to be driving?

SIRI baby.

Well I had a fantastic morning too. Seeing those beautiful butt cheeks.

Whoa Ms. Gonzales I almost had an accident.

Please don't send me naughty messages like that.

Well stop parading your naked behind in front of me.

Oh baby, looking forward to my next floor show intended just for you.

Stop bothering me, I need to work.

Well stop invading my mind and I will stop bothering you.

Have a great day at work.

Looking forward to our evening together.

Pinili ko na lang na hindi sagutin ang huling mensahe nito sa 'kin. Alam kong nagmamaneho si Eniel at ayokong mapahamak siya ng dahil sa 'kin. Tuloy-tuloy akong umakyat hanggang sa opisina ko. Papaupo pa lang ako sa aking opisina ng tumunog ang telepono ko.

"Hey are you okay?" Biglang sambit ni Eniel kahit hindi pa ako nagsasalita.

"I'm fine. Nasa opisina na ako," sagot ko naman.

"I thought something happened. You never replied to my last message."

"Eniel you were driving. I needed you to focus on the road," nakangiti kong tugon.

"Baby don't scare me like that again. I need to make sure that you're always fine, ok?"

"Yes daddy, now stop bothering me. I need to work."

"Hmmn, daddy! That sounds very promising," at namula ako dahil sa implikasyon ng sinabi ng binata. "Take care of yourself baby. And I'll see you tonight." At nagpaalam na ito bago tinapos ang tawag.

Nakangiti ako ng nilapag ko ang telepono sa ibabaaw ng mesa ko. Binalikan ko ang mga hindi ko natapos na mga papeles kagabi. Tinawagan ko si Andrea. Pinapaakyat ko sa opisina si Miguel, ang head engineer ng kompanya.

"Ms. Dominguez, you said you wanted to speak with me," bungad ni Miggy ng makapasok sa opisina.

"Have a seat Miggy. I have some concern about the condo towers were building." At inilahad ko sa kanya ang mga napansin ko sa latest update ng project. According to the report, the project was supposed to be done in two months, yet judging from the paper works, it seemed that the project is not even halfway done."

"I need to speak to Ramil about it. He's heading that project," sagot naman ni Miggy.

"Well where is he. Bring him here," sagot ko.

He stood up, dialed a number on his phone, then courteously stepped out of my office. After a few minutes, he came back and he looked so concerned.

"I need to tell you something," panic is evident in his voice. "Ram is gone. He took off and brought everything with him."

"What?" Hindi ko maitago ang galit sa boses ko. "How could you let this happen?"

"There's more, he fiddled with the reports and used sub-standard materials," halos nanginginig na ang boses na sambit ni Miggy.

"How are we not able to see these coming? Why weren't you paying close attention to those projects?"

"I was a bit pre-occupied with the EGN project. That's why I handed them over to Ramil to finish the projects," sagot nito.
