Nagising ako na masakit ang ulo. I can't believe, tatawag siya para sabihin na he missed me. Napatingin na lang ako ng ilang minuto sa kisame.
Tumayo na ako at naligo. I just wear white backless long sleeve bodycon with jimmy shoo luxary heels. Binili ko iyon sa abroad. Hindi naman talaga ako pala shopping, pero ng unuwi kami ni Tita sa US, tinuruan niya ako mamili ng mga damit na babagay sa akin at mag shopping ng naaayon. Nabored rin ako ng mga ilang araw sa US kaya bumili. ako luxary bag, shoes, bag and lipsticks.
Bumaba na ako para kumain ng breakfast, napahinto ako ng makita ko ang babaeng nagpasakit sa akin. Walang gana akong lumakad papunta sa dining table. Ano na namang ginagawa niya dito?
"Good morning" she greet.
"Morning."
"What are you doing here?" I said to her in serious tone.
I glared to her and I saw she rolled his eyes. "I just want to talk to you Yumi" she said.
"Talk about what, mmh?"
"I'll tell you later but before that you must eat first" she said sarcastic.
"Oh. Sure" I glanced to her at umiwas naman siya ng tingin.
What now? My ex best friend. Well I know why she's here to confront me about his long time boyfriend, bagay na bagay talaga sila.
Patapos na ako ng tumambad si Tita sa amin. "Good morning" bati niya sa amin, sumulyap siya kay Allison na ngayon ay humarap kay Tita.
"Morning" tipid akong ngumiti kay Tita.
"Good morning Tita. How are you? You look so beautiful Tita" I heard Allison.
"So plastic" I whisper.
"Oh. Thank you Allison. I'm fine. How about you. You look so pretty too" Tita Almie said.
"Thank you Tita" kapalastikan nga naman.
Well ganyan naman talaga ang isang babae when it talks to her desperation.
"Well I have to go na rin Tita. Let's talk later Allison. Just text me coz I have something more to do than wasting my time with you" lumakad na ako at iniwan si Allison.
Past 8 na ng narating ko ang office ko I heard we have a meeting with our clients. I need to be ready.
I called my assistant Ariane. "Ariane what's my appointment for today?" I asked her.
"Miss Yumi. Meeting po with Labrador Inc 9: 00 am and 12 pm naman po Lesterial Corporation para sa new investment nila sa atin" Ariane said.
"Alright, just said to all department be ready for the Labrador meeting. We need to do this for the reputation of the company, ok?"
"Yes Miss Yumi. I'll tell them po" I nodded to her.
Nakita ko naman na sumulyap sa pintuan si Evelyn from Financial Department.
"Come in" I said. Pumasok naman siya.
"Ma'am nandito po yung anak ng CEO ng Millenum ScoT. He want to talk you daw po" she said.
What? Talaga ba naman Callix? After you call me last night ang kapal na pumunta sa harap ko. I can't believed. Baliw ba talaga siya?
"Alright. Papuntahin mo na lang siya dito" sabi ko sa kanya at tumango naman siya.
I can't believe na talagang pupunta pa siya talaga dito. Ano ba namang kailangan niya sakin. She have a girlfriend baka maging issue pa ito para sa akin.
Nawala lang ang pag iisip ko ng pumasok si Callix with his good looking look.
"Hi" he greeted me.
"Hi" I said. "What are you doing here? Do you have some appointment?" I said at nagtipa sa laptop ng presentation ng report kay Tita. Hindi ako lumingon sa kanya. Ginawa ko na lamang ang mga files para maabala.
"Can we have a lunch together?" he asked me. I raised my brow to him.
"I have a meeting so I can't go with you."
"What about dinner?" aniya.
"I don't know maybe I have something to do" sagot ko.
"Tomorrow. What do you think?" he said.
"I'll think about it" I said and glanced to him, napangisi ako sa alok niya.
"Really? I'll pick you up tomorrow then" he said and smile to me. "I will go now. I've meeting too. I just ask you for this" he said and smile to me again.
"Alright. Good luck" I faked a smile.
So he's here because he wants me to have a lunch with him. I remember back then. Sabi niya gusto niya ako maging kaibigan. But matagal na yon at sa ngayon wala muna akong dapat problemahin, si Ace na muna. I'm not desperate about him, gusto ko lang magdusa siya at ipamukha na mali ang ginawa niya. Na mali manakit ng nararamdaman sa taong minahal siya ng lubusan.
I called Bella. I hope she's not busy right now. I have a planned para paikutin ngayon si Ace sa mga kamay ko.
"Hello Yumi" bungad niya.
"Hi. Set the dinner date at luxary hotel and we'll talk about later kapag tumawag ulit ako sayo" I said.
"Alright Yumi. Alam ko na ito. Paghihiganti 2.0 na ba" she said and chuckle.
"I don't think so. Just do it. I'll text you after my meeting" I said and end the button.
Sumulyap naman si Ariane sa door ng office ko. "Miss Yumi. Nandito na po yung team ng Labrador Inc" I nodded and stood up.
"Ok. I'll go na" I fix my thing and went to the meeting.
Maraming presentation ang ipinakita ng team ng Labrador Inc. I'm so impressed even bago pa lang ang ibang employees nila parang hasang hasa na sila.
We closed the deal. I called Tita at ibinalita na maganda ang presentation. Natawa naman si Tita dahil nag eenjoy na daw ako sa career ko.
I don't think so Tita. I just want to help you. That's it.
11 na ng napagpasiyahan kong tawagan si Bella."Hey, ok na ba?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Oo naman madam. I'll text you the venue" she said.
"Thanks and after my meeting again. I text you kung saang place tayo mag meet" umuo naman siya at pinatay ko na.
To: Ace
Can we have a dinner date later?
From: Ace
Really Yumi? Sure. I would love it.
To: Ace
I'll text kung saang place.
I turn of my cellphone. I smirked for what I'm thinking right now. Uto uto nga naman. Napaisip ako, parang mali na kitain ko si Ace after kong sabihin na busy ako ngayon at sa susunod na araw kay Callix. I feel like I betrayed him.
After an hour Ariane call me again for another meeting.
Maganda rin ang presentation nila. I guess na magagaling talaga ang pinadala ng Lesterial Corporation. Wala na naman kasi si Tita. May business trip sa Cebu. Kaya ako ang naghandle lahat ng dapat ginagawa niya. I just want to help Tita. I know na nahihirapan na rin siya. Buti na lang napilit niya akong mag trabaho dito.
Next week na nga pala ang vacation namin sa Palawan and also my brothers birthday kaya ngayon pa lang dapat matapos ko na ang plano ko. Dahil naiirita na ako sa pagmumukha ng letseng Ace na yon.
