After an hour of flight finally we arrived. While walking someone approaches and greeted us.
"Good afternoon Mr. And Ms. De Castro!" Bati nito sa amin. I saw dad talking to her. Maybe she's my dad secretary.
"So, what's our schedule today?" He asked. I just listening to them. I wore my glasses panay kasi ang tingin nito sa akin.
"Sir, ms. De Castro have 2 meeting for this day. 5:00 pm for Mr. Chan and 7:00 pm for Mr. Tan." Informing my father. "While you sir have 1 with Mr. Lee at exactly 2:30 pm"
"Oh! I think I need to go. I only have 1 hour and 30 minutes to prepare." While checking his watch. "Glaiza, sumama ka na lang muna kay Sheena. You need to take a rest na din. Sheena please accommodate my daughter" he commanded.
"I will sir!" She nodded.
"You may go now!" Umalis na nga kami nung sheena. Sumakay ako dun sa sasakyan na nasa harap namin dahil sabi niya.
Pagdating namin ng hotel she gave me the key of my room. "Ma'am, if you need anything just call me. My room is next to you. So, you could call me easily"
"Okay!" Casual na sagot ko sa kanya.
"Ma'am, I just remind you the meeting is exactly 5:00 pm"
"Thanks!" I said before entering the room.

"Ms. De Castro are you still with me?" Mr. Chan asked.
"Ha? O-of course sir! Please continue." Medyo nataranta kong sabi. Lutang yata ako ngayong araw.
"Let's continue this in some other day ms. De Castro. I hope your full attention is with me next time" as he offer a hand shake with me.
"I'm so sorry sir! I don't intend to disappoint you. I hope you understand" pagpapaumanghin ko dito.
"I know. Don't worry I don't change my mind. Still I want to invest with your company."
"Wow! That's good news! Thank you so much sir! I.... I promise you'll never regret this." Masaya kong sabi. Nice! Ang bait ni Mr. Chan.
"I have to go! See you next time huh!" Then he patted my shoulder.
"Yes! See you sir!" Then I bowed. I saw him smiling. Hindi na siya nagsalita at nauna ng umalis sa meeting room.

It's already 6:00 pm and too early for my second meeting. Pero nandito na siya agad. Luh, gutom at pagod pa naman ako. At hanggang ngayon jet lag pa din.
Kung ano ang kinabait ni Mr. Chan ganun naman ang kinasama ni Mr. Tan. I feel his dark aura. He's too strict, serious kind of person. Mukhang mapapasubo ako dito.
"Good evening sir!" Bati ko sa kanya. Nilahad ko yung kamay ko para makipagshakehands sa kanya. But he refused it and directly went to his seat.
"Let's start!" Seryosong sabi nito.
I do a fake couch. Pampatanggal lang ng kaba.
"Uhm, sir, I don't want to beating around the bush I want you to invest to our company. We guarantee you that our company is the best choice you had." I tell everything about our company syempre kasama na yung mga achievements at failures namin. That's the thing na dapat malaman din ng investor.
"Do you have a copy of your business proposal?" He asked. Napafacepalm na lang ako. Hindi ko kasi ito dala dahil akala ko 7:00 pm siya pupunta.
"Sorry sir! But I forgot to bring one. I thought our meeting starts with 7 o'clock. If you can wait I'll print another copy" sabi ko sa kanya at akma ng lalabas sa meeting room.
