CHAPTER 27

DERECK

               I TRIED TO CALL Brie, but she's not answering her phone. Maybe she's sleeping?

We're now in Cebu. Actually, pang second day na ito. I'll be meeting the engineers, architects, and interior designers for my resort.

I didn't try to call Brie again. Maybe she's sleeping or eating. I can't blame her, though. Ang aga pa.

The meeting was interesting, of course. Matagal nang ginagawa ang resort ko rito sa Cebu at matagal na ring inaabangan.

It took three hours to finish the meeting. After that, pumunta naman kami sa isang agency dito rin sa Cebu na pagkukuhanan namin ng nga tao or should I say workers para sa resort.

"Nasaan na raw ba si Selene?" Dapat kasabay namin siya pumunta rito pero may emergency kaya susunod na lang.

"Nasa taxi na raw, Sir. Kakalapag lang ng eroplano niya." I nodded.

Sinalubong kami ng secretary ng may-ari ng agency.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rivera?"

"Good afternoon."

"Oh, please come with me po. Hinihintay na po kayo ni Miss Yumi." Sumunod kami sakanya papasok sa isang office. "Miss Yumi? Mr. Rivera is already here na po." Katok niya.

"Please, come in." Pinagbuksan ako ng secretary at hinayaan niyang makapasok ako. Hindi na sumama sa loob si Carden dahil tumatawag ang girlfriend niya.

The office looks good. Red and Gray combination. Carpeted.

I looked at her. She's wearing a mini fitted blue dress. Hanggang taas lang ng tuhod niya ang dress na suot niya. She's wearing a high heels too. Her brown hair is curled. Beautiful.

"Dereck Cole Rivera." Inabot ko ang kamay ko sakanya.

"Yumi Steve. Have a seat, please." Pagkaabot niya ng kamay niya. Umupo ako sa visitor's chair. "What do you want? Coffee? Tea? Juice? Water? Name it."

She's beautiful and I don't deny it but, Brie is more beautiful that her. Yeah. Brie is more beautiful and sexy.

"No, thanks." She nodded.

"So, how many workers?" Umupo din siya. Tumikhim ako.

"I need two hundred fifty workers." Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Two hundred fifty workers? Hmm. For a hotel?" I shook my head.

"Nah. For my resort." She nodded again.

"Kailan mo kailangan?" May kinuha siya sa bag na dala niya.

"Five months from now, I think." May inabot siya saking card.

It's calling card. Nakalagay doon ang personal information niya like full name, cellphone number, address, company address, and email.

"What is this for?" She stood up. Lumapit siya sakin. What the hell is she doing?

"Hmm. In case that you need someone to talk to or you know," She smiled seductively. "I'm always free for you, Mr. Handsome." Humawak siya sa braso ko.

"Is this part of our meeting, Miss Yumi?" I asked. This is not funny anymore. She's not being professional here.

"No... But—" I stood up.

"I have a wife and a baby, Miss Yumi, so get off me. I'm done here. Kapag may kailangan ka, talk to my secretary." Iniwan ko ang calling card ni Selene at lumabas na ng office niya.
