Blake Rodric's POV

"Ms. Monteriza. . ." bungad ko sa kanya, "Do we have any problem at nagpa-set ka ulit ng meeting?"

Expressionless, she raised her eyebrow at sinabing, "Having uncountable meetings in a business is normal Mr. Villarasa. Don't you know that?"

I sat down in front of her, "Of course I do. I'm just wondering what we're going to talk about this time." I said trying to be calm.

Her red lips. . . It's so... Ugh.

"Oh well," she intertwined her hands, "About the books na ipapasok ko bukas. . . Babawiin ko muna yung 10%. Is that okay with you?"

My forehead creased, "I already signed the contract." ani ko.

"That's why I brought another one." aniya at naglabas ng isang envelope na brown.

I sighed, "You can't just change. That's nature in business."

Her lips formed a smile, "Change is nature Mr. Villarasa."

Gustong umawang ng bibig ko dahil sa sinabi niya pero siyempre, I still managed to control it.

"Bakit ba kailangan mo pang magbawas?" tanong ko.

"Dahil hindi pwede yung masyadong sobra. Kailangan ko rin kasing magbigay sa iba at hindi puro sayo lang." ani niya.

Para siyang nagulat dahil sa sariling nasabi at agad na bumawi, "I mean. Hindi pwedeng sa company niyo lang."

I badly want to smile.

She wants us to be formal in business, pero siya 'tong hindi nagiging pormal.

"So, saan mo garod balak ipasa yung 10%?" I asked again.

"Sa PPP Publishing. . ." she paused, ". . .my boyfriend's company."

Kumunot ulit ang noo ko, "But Ms. Monteriza, just to remind you, ikaw ang humingi ng formality dito. Kaya paanong napasok ang kumpanya ng boyfriend mo? It doesn't seem to be formal." sabi ko.

"Well, Mr. Villarasa, ang sinabi ko lang sayo, 'let's be formal'. Meaning, tayong dalawa lang. Us." aniya.

"So, what's your point?"

"Straightforward?" she smiled, "My boyfriend is an exception."

Ha!

What a lucky bastard.

Edi ako na.

Ako na ang nasoplak.

Putek talaga. Ano bang nagawa kong masama at kailangan ko pang makasalamuha sa business si Rhyny? And what the fuck's wrong with me? Ginusto ko 'to, ginusto ko siya!

What the hell did I just say?
