Kyle Vin's POV

7 years later.

I can't help but humbly eulogize myself everytime I look at the first ever skyscraper whom I could say one of the biggest projects I have successfully done. The Keepers Tower.

I'm standing on the rooftop of a 35 storey building - under construction, my new project in progress. Nakikita ko mula dito ang Keepers Tower. Looking at that tower for a couple of minutes really gives me a lot of wishful thoughts - that happens so often.

I was staring at the plain blue sky when I spotted a jet in sparkling purple and silver. "A private plane.. carbon pollution," I shook my head.

It's a hot and humid day, I can't bear staying under the sun for too long. I decided to go down the exit. I have to meet a client.

"You can take your break at 3, keep up the good work everyone!," I told the construction workers that I pass by.

"Salamat, boss!"

"Wala bang pameryenda, engineer? HE HE"

I laugh hearing Mang Tomas' request. "Sure, magpapabili ako ng meryenda niyo"

Napahiyaw pa ang ilan sa kanila dahil sa tuwa. Ang kaninang pagod na pagod nilang mukha biglang lumiwanag dahil sa mga ngiti nila.

"Iba ka talaga, engineer"

"Salamat po, boss!"

"Si Mang Tomas ang pasalamatan niyo," natatawa pang sabi ko at saka nagpaalam na para umalis.

Si Mang Tomas ang pinakamatandang nagtatrabaho dito. I know he's too old to work here, he's supposed to rest and just enjoy his retirement. Pero siya nalang ang nagtataguyod sa kaisa isa niyang apo, who am I to get in the way?

I could still hear them saying thank you as I went out of the building. I saw Brandon walking aimlessly, sort of being zombified by his phone. He's a junior engineer. I glance at my watch while walking towards him. I could hear the voice of the newscaster whom he's watching.

"She's here! Finally! The face behind the top selling luxurious fashion brand in US have arrive in the Philippines exactly 2 PM this afternoon. We all know her, Amara Caroline Arlington! Mark your calendars for the Sassion Style Fashion Show on-"

"What are you watching?," I asked trying to have a peek on his phone. He startled, muntik pa niyang mabitawan ang cellphone. He immediately turned it off.

He scratches his head and chuckle. "Ang news po, idol po kasi ng girlfriend ko si Amara Arlington. Nagbabasakali lang na open for public ang fashion show e dadalhin ko sana do'n ang girlfriend ko"

"Amara Arlington?"

"Opo, 'yung may ari ng Sassion Style"

Napaisip ako sandali. That name sounds so familiar. I prolly have heard that somewhere. But I don't have time to watch news on TV anyway. Besides it's about fashion, I'm not that interested.

"That brand.."

"Sikat po 'yon, mahal nga lang"

I shrugged. "That's why I'm not a fan of branded items"

But then I realize I have one of those brands in my closet. I bought a shirt last week, it's Sassion Style.

"Ay oo nga pala muntik ko ng makalimutan, Engr. Fuentes! Kanina ko pa kayo hinahanap," he utter with great enthusiasm. "Natapos ko na po ang mga pinapagawa ninyo. Ibibigay ko nalang ang copy ng reports ko pagbalik sa opisina"
