Chasing In The Dark

22

"You won't excuse yourself Miss Del Moore?"

Mone asked looking at me intently, pero ako nakayuko hindi makatingin sa mga mata niya. I can feel my body and systems trembling, kahit kalamnan ko nanginginig, puso ko'y tumitibok. How can he  made me still like this, after all many years passed?

"Why would i Mr. Howardson?"

I asked him back confidently kahit na wala na talaga akong ganun. Thank god i didn't stutter while asking him, or else he would be suspicious about it, even though there's nothing to suspicious about it.

"I see."

Usal niya na may patango tango pa.

Katahimikan ang namayani sa aming kapaligiran pagkatapos nang pag uusap namin ni Mone kanina. Jeorge didn't even bothered to cut us, or even disturbed us. He love seeing us fighting inside his office, hindi niya naisip na parang nawawalan siya nang respeto duon.

I cleared my throat locking my stares, eyes on Jeorge while smirking.

"Should the two of you start your meeting?"

I asked brows up.

"We will, but i guess Mr. Howardson is distracted by something."

Tinignan ko si Jeorge na may nagtatanong na mga mata wala paring planong tapunan nang tingin si Mone na kaharap lang ni Jeorge. Mone seated straight when he heard Jeorge said his name, in my pheriphal vision. I can feel his uneasyness in the atmosphere.

"Pardon me, but i am not Mr. Lubirecean."

"Hmm, okay let's start."

Hindi ako nakinig sa mga pinagsasabi nila, my mind was occupied while looking at the folder full of documents. Full of his informations that i still doesn't want to know. Maybe, i will read all of this at the right time. And that time is not still today, maybe tommorow or next month. I don't know, only god knows.

I sighed.

"So what do you think Miss Del Moore?"

Napabalikwas ako sa bigla nang marinig akong tawagin ang pangalan ko mula kay Jeorge. I hid the folder on my bag bago tumayo para harapin siya. I bowed a little on him before smiling.

"Pardon me Sir but i didn't heard your talks."

"Oh, okay sorry for that. I though you were listening to us Miss Del Moore."

Napatango ako sa sinabi ni Jeorge, gustong matawa dahil sa namumula niyang mukha dahil sa hiya. Uupo na sana ako, babalik sa pwesto kaso natigil dahil sa pagtawag sa akin ni Mone na ikinabigla ko.

"So, what do you think Miss Del Moore? Your boss is asking then answered him."

Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin kaya may lakas na loob akong tignan siya. My brows are now up, hindi ba niya narinig ang sinabi ko kanina? I am not listening. How can i answer him if i am not listening? Nakakabobo siyang kausap. Tangina.

I calmed myself before answering him. I smiled awkwardly.

"As i was saying Mr. Howardson, i am not listening."

"Then why are you here? What's the purpose of your prescence if you are not listening?"

"Im here not because i want to listen at you two but to take care of my boss needs."
