Cue of secrets

Chapter 3

Umagang-umaga, nandito na agad si Alistair sa condo. Hindi naman halatang excited siya sa team building. Or maybe, hindi siya excited sa team building. Excited talaga siyang inisin 'yung mga tao doon.

"What do you want to eat?" Tamad na tanong ko.

"You."

"Ano?" I asked again.

"I mean, you? Ikaw, kung ano gusto mo."

"Wala. Gusto ko, matulog."

"Tara," he went inside my room and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Ano ginagawa mo?"

"Matutulog."

"Sir, 30 minutes. I barely slept. 30 minutes lang promise."

"Kahit buong araw ka pa matulog. Lika!"

Hinayaan ko na siyang umupo sa dulo ng kama at bumalik ako sa pagtulog. Bahala siya sa buhay niya kung anong gusto niyang gawin.

"Hey," tapik niya sa mukha ko. "30 mins is over."

"Sir, another 30 minutes."

"Procrastinator ka. Tara na."

"Ay, sir. May kelangan bang gawin ngayon? Kasi ang alam mo kapag team building, we're working and brainstorming on how we can improve our work. But the truth is, we're just having fun. I'm sorry for that."

"What's wrong with having fun? It's okay! We're not supposed to do anything. So get dressed in a outfit that you're comfortable with. Ako nga oh," he smirked.

He's not in his usual suit. He's wearing a black t-shirt with a luxury logo in-front tucked in white jogger pants paired with ace bee sneakers from another luxury brand.

"Change pala ko ng outfit," I said as I looked at the outfit I prepared last night.

The thing is, it's almost the female version of the outfit he's wearing.

"Maganda naman ah. 'Wag na! Ayan na isoot mo." Pigil niya.

"Oo na, sir! Labas na!" Tulak ko sa kanya palabas.

My day hasn't even started yet but I'm already exhausted.

"Did you pack your bag?" I asked.

"I did." He proudly answered.

"Maayos?"

"Hindi ko sure. Atleast I packed it. It's the first time. Compliment me naman cause I didn't ask you to."

"Good job! Ang galing-galing naman ng bata! Now, get your bag and I'll arrange your things." I said in a serious tone.

Upon seeing his suitcase, makalat nga. His shirts are not folded well, 'yung mga dala niyang suit at longsleeve ay nagusot na, pati 'yung mga pants.

"Sir, nasa office na sila Jia. Tara na po."

Pagdating sa office, they are already complete. Anim lang naman sila sa manager's office na nasa team ni Sir Alistair kaya kaunti lang kami.

"Are you sure you can still travel?" I asked Jia.

"Siyempre! Hello, 3 months pala ako 'no! Eh ikaw, sure ka bang walang something sainyo ni Mr. Lee?"

"Wala nga. Bakit?"

"Matching t-shirts talaga ha?"

"It just happened. Tara na!" I excitedly held her hand so we can go inside the van now.

"Raelle, dito ka!" He opened the door of his car.

"Dito ako, sir!" Turo ko sa pinto ng van.

"No, you're coming with me." Pumunta na siya malapit saakin at hinila ako.
