"Good morning, ma'am!" my secretary greeted me as we walked inside the elevator. Lahat ng tao doon ay nakayuko to pay respect to the CEO of this company, which happened to be me. "20th floor." I told  the operator.

"What's my schedule today?" I asked Celine while fishing something from my bag.

"Lunch meeting with Mr. Jerry this 2pm. But for this morning po, board meeting lang about a proposal. Also, we've been facing a big dilemm--"

"Okay. Thank you." I cut her off. I don't want something to ruin my mood today. Duh, kaka-facial ko lang and thread kahapon. I won't invest on something that'll ruin me.

The elevator stopped for the 15th floor and the workers went out already to start a new day. Come to think of it, everyone's working for me. I inhaled, feeling my power.

Minutes passed and it's already on the 20th floor. Inayos ko ang coat ko at pinagpag ang pencil skirt as I went out of the elevator.

"Let's go, ma'am" Celine said. I nodded.

I was walking kinda fast because anong oras na. A woman like me doesn't like wasting my time. I have a lot of things to do. Most of the employers are greeting me but I didn't mind that much.

I was about to enter the  room when a guy from the other side of the hallway bumped into me, causing his hot coffee to spill on my skirt.

Shit. SHIT.

"Oh..my.." I slowly said. Hindi ako makapaniwalang a random stranger would just spill his damn coffee on my expensive skirt! Geez!

"Miss, I'm sorry" the guy said while lending his handkerchief to me. I'm still not looking at him because i'm damn annoyed. Day ruined.

"No, don't mention it." I calmly said. I was rolling my eyes inside my head because of annoyance.

Nice! What a good, sunny day.

"I'm really, really sorry, miss." He said.
Kainin mo 'yang panyo mo. I said at the back of my head.

"Celine, please inform the other board members to wait for fifteen minutes. I'll just get another skirt inside sa car ko. Salamat." I told my secretary.

"Yes, ma'am." Celine nodded.

I turned my back from the office when..

"Oh, Engineer Josiah! Kanina ka pa diyan?" Tanong ng Financial Head ng company.

"No, sir. Kadadating lang din po." The man chuckled. "Kaso may nabunggo po ako kanina kaya natapon yung kape ko. Sayang!"

I slowly walked out of the scenario when the goddamn officer called my name.

"Oh! Ayan na pala si Miss Ysa! Miss Ysa, siya po yung sa proposal today!" He joyfully said. "Engineer, tara dito." He has the guts to call that man! Who spilled a cheap coffee on my skirt! Damn!

"Engineer Josiah, meet Miss Sabina Ysabelle Ferrer, our CEO" the officer said nung makarating sa harap ko yung lalaki.

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang narealize kung sino ang taong nakatapon ng kape sa'kin at siyang ka-meeting ko today.

There's no way that this is happening. The man I used to love is here!
