"SIr, Mr. Phen Monteclaro is outside. Papasukin ko na po 'ba?" Tanong ng sekretarya ko gamit ang intercom.

I closed the file I was browsing. "Yes, Please."

The door open and my cousin wearing his usual business suit appeared. Prente itong naupo sa harap ko. Pinagtaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.

"Hey," untag nito.

"What is it, Phen?" Sumandal ako sa inuupuan ko at pinagsalikop ang mga kamay.

"In case you forgot, I'm here to remind you about our meeting with Mr. Prieto next week."

"Oh? Next week na ba 'yon?"

"Don't tell me nakalimutan mo nga?" Pinagkunutan ako nito ng noo.

"Honestly yes." Pag-amin ko. Masiyadong okupado ang isip ko ng ibang bagay nitong mga nakaraan kaya nakalimutan ko nga ang tungkol 'don.

Si Mr. Prieto ang may ari ng JP Mining Golds Corp. He's also one of the successful and leading businessman in Asia. That's why he's a good catch to Monteclaro Corp but we need to see how much more he can offer to us before we agreed.

Tumayo si Phen at pinaglaruan ang globo na nakadisplay sa gilid ng lamesa ko. "Good thing I drop by, you owe me for that. Oh well, I got to go."

"Tss. Owe you my ass!" Natatawang sabi ko. Tumalikod na ito at naglakad papalabas. Ngunit hindi pa ito tuluyang nakakalabas ng huminto ito sa may pintuan at muli akong nilingon.

"What? Do you have anything to say?"

"And also Grandpa Oji and Grandma Poe is here."

My brows knotted. "What?! And you didn't even inform me that they were coming?!"

"You can't blame me, I was shocked when they called me that their plane just got landed. As soon as received their call I rushed here."

Napangiwi ako."Tsh. Where are they?"

"They are currently staying in Shopee Hotel. Free your sched in the evening. They might call for a dinner." Tumango na lang ako bilang sagot. Matapos 'yon ay naglakad na ito paalis.

Grandpa Oji and Grandma Poe lived in United States ever since, Phen and I started working in the company three years ago. We became a perfect duo, that's why the Monteclaro Corp is taking the lead in the whole world. But eventually, Lincoln will join us in taking our leadership. He's the eldest son of Tito Ramsey and ahead kami ng three years dito. He just started working last week and still adjusting.

GAya ng inaasahan. Nagtawag nga ng dinner sila Grandma. Matapos ang trabaho ko sa kumpanya, dumiretso na ako sa hotel na tinutuluyan ng mga ito. My family is already there, even Tito Stephen, Phen's father and his family is also there. Mukhang kami na lang ni Phen at ang pamilya ni Tito Ramsey ang wala. I call Phen while I'm driving.

"Where are you?"

"I'm on my way. Just got stuck in traffic."

"Uh-ha. Traffic? Really?" I smirked even though he can't see me.

"Tss. I'm not like you and Lincoln.."

"Defensive." I laughed. "Speaking of that fucker. Where is he?"

"Probably in the club fucking. I'd better call him."

"Yeah, you should do that. See you, bye." After that. I hung up.
