Fall for the Opposite

Chapter 13: Cold

Then let's be close. Let's be close.

I sighed once more and tried to concentrate on the meeting but I can't because what he said keeps bugging me. Is he even serious on that?

Kagat labing tinignan ko ang aking katabi.Seryoso syang nakikinig sa nagsasalita sa harap.

The conference room is full of powerful people in business.May iilang stock holders and board members of his company.

Why I am here is a big question to all of them.Isa pa Zander didn't bother to give them an explanation so why do I need to bother?

Bahala sila anong gusto nilang isipin sa pagpunta ko dito.

Ewan ko ba dito sa isang to at sinama-sama nya pa ko sa meeting na dapat naman eh sya lang.

I sighed again directing my attention to the representative infront whose explaining about the supposed project.It's about the two tower condominium they are planning to invest on.

Lahat sila ay tutok at tahimik lang na nakikinig sa tagapagsalita.I diverted my attention into the guy who is sitting in the opposite aisle.

He's been staring at me the whole damn time.He smiled.Nagpadagdag yon sa iritasyon na nararamdaman ko.

"What do you think about the proposal? " tanong saakin ng katabing si Zander.Tumikhim muna ako bago sya sinagot.

"I think it's fine." I said making myself sound so bored. Alam ko na talagang boring ang mga ganitong meetings.But I didn't expect it to be this boring. Well I guess... it's really not my thing.

"And? "he asked maybe expecting me to say more of it.

"It's Fine."sagot kong muli.Kumunot ang noo nya at nakita ko rin ang pag-igting ng kanyang panga.

"What? I said it's fine,kulang pa ba iyon?" maang kong tanong.Anong ine-expect nyang sagot ko eh gayong di naman din ako nakinig.Their meeting is so so boring for Pete's sake.

He just 'tsk' at me before

Natapos na magsalita ang nasa harap at inaantay nalang ang sasabihin ni Zander.After all he's the president.

"Give me a copy of the proposal so I can study it a little more.Meeting adjourned."he seriously said and as quick as that all of em are getting ready to leave.

Tumayo ako't pumunta sa isang sulok naghihintay na umalis lahat ng tao.Zander is busy talking to some business man.

He look different when it's all about nmm business.Naalala ko tuloy ang paghahalungkat ko ng tungkol sa kanya sa internet. Jacob Zander Sy, The successful business-man in his young age.At marami pang iba.

Bumaling sya sakin pagkatapos makipagkamay sa huling kausap.Umayos ako ng tayo ng humakbang sya palapit.

"Let's go? "tanong nya habang nakatingin saakin na para bang binabasa kung ano ang nasa isip ko.

"Yeah,I'm so tired,I want to go home. "mataray ko sagot tsaka pumihit palabas ng conference room.

Employees on there cubicles immediately focus their attention on me,No...on Us.

Di ko pinansin iyon at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad hanggat makarating ng elevator.Tahimik kaming dalawa hanggat makarating kami sa ground floor kung saan nakapark ang sasakyan nya.

Sasakyan? Oh shit! Yung sasakyan ko!

"Oh hell! My car! " bulaslas ko napalakas ang pagkakasabi ko kaya napatingin saakin ang kasama ko.
