Terrence POV

Sydney!" Napabalikwas ako mula sa pagkakahiga mula sa reclining chair ng van.

"You're dreaming again" napalingon ako kay Manager Grace. Napahilamos ako ng mukha.

"It's almost been a year Terrence. Is it still the same dream?" I just nod at her.

"Why don't you consult a doctor?" She requested but I just shrugged it off.

It's almost been a year since the day I lost her, since the day that I let her slip in my life. Nine months, three weeks, two days, three hours, twenty-four minutes and still counting. Since then, I didn't get enough sleep or more like I can't sleep. I tried to find her, but I failed too.... Marami akong gustong sisihin sa nangyari pero mas sinisi ko ang sarili. If only just.....

"We're here" Inayos ko ang damit saka ako bumaba. Nandito kami ngayon sa SBS Headquarters. The president wants to talk to me.

Sumakay kami ng elevator hanggang sa marating namin ang 25th floor.

"Remember Terrence, no matter what happens... Just keep your mouth shut" I clenched my jaw. The number one that I hate the most is when people around me started controlling me. But I don't want to make a rushed decision, not until I make sure that the person I love will be safe..

"Whatever" I rudely answered.

"Watch your manners, young man" hindi na ako sumagot pa. I just painfully clenched my fist to stop myself doing irrational decisions.

"Mr. President" tahimik lang ako sa gilid. I didn't dare to join their conversation. I'm not in the mood at hindi rin ako isang klase ng tao na mahilig makipagplastikan.

"You heard that Terrence?" Nabalik lang ang atensyon ko ng banggitin nila ang pangalan ko.

"Hmm?" I politely answered. Ngumiti ng peke si Manager Grace.

"Mr. President here, is giving you an amazing preposition. It's about time that your talents will be recognized more, internationally." I immediately prepared my smiley faced.

"Thank you Mr. President" sabi ko rito na ikinatango lang ng huli.

"But I must say, you have to work hard. My daughter Reina, needed your assistance so that the both of you will get the chance to pass the interview" yumuko nalang ako rito.

"For sure my daughter Reina will be ecstatic when she get to know about this good news" I kept my silence, hanggang sa naramdaman kong may sumipa sa akin.

"I'll make sure to take care of her for you, Mr. President"

"Very well. I'm looking forward for the positive outcome"

"Where else are we going?" Tanong ko kay Manager Grace dahil napansin kong hindi ito ang daan pabalik sa penthouse.

"A reporter informed me that the manager of TLG is currently in Gold's Hotel, we have to drop by to give them a good impression"

"But I'm already tired" pagrereklamo ko rito. Pero hindi ako pinansin nito.

Kalaunan ay dumating kami sa Hotel. Agad itong bumaba ng sasakyan.

"Remember, it is just a coincidence that we are here" I just rolled my eyes on her. Mula sa malayo ay may natanaw kaming isang grupo sa lobby. All of them looked sophisticated and high class.

"Oh my God, Manager Alfie!" Napapikit ako sa matinis na boses ng manager. Nag-usap pa ang mga ito ng kaunti bago niya ako ipinakilala.

"By the way this is my kid, Terrence Javier" ngumiti ako ng saglit at nakipag shake hands.
