Karylle was busy reviewing legal documents for the acquisition of a large land property the Madrigal group of companies decided to purchase in Cebu. It had been quite a hectic week for her. She was holed up in her office buried deep in her work. It was also the time when the delegates for the international business convention will be arriving in the hotel.
Vice was also swamped with a lot of work. Rich patrons in Cebu City and nearby islands in the Visayas upon knowing that Vice opened a showroom of his designer collections in Cebu, took the opportunity to meet with the now famous designer, Vice.
As they were both busy with work, they barely had time to see each other in person that week but they never fail to call and text to check on each other everyday. They feel like little gestures like a simple text message is what keeps them going and fuels their passion to work and be the best in what they do.
Vice looked at his watch and gasped, "Oh no, it's already late. I got to hurry up and go. Kay will be waiting for me. Wait...I did send her the name of the restaurant and the address through text. I hope she did not forget that it's at eight and not seven. I don't want her to go there first and wait for me at the restaurant. I should get there first. Naku! Traffic pa naman today kasi end of the week na. It was the end of the week, Friday. Now, let me look for Nita para maihabilin ko na ang showroom. Siya na lang magsara nito for the day.
Vice : Nita! Nita! He got up from his chair and got out of his office to look for her. Where is everybody?
The huge showroom in Mactan appears to be empty. Everyone seem to have gone home. Well, except for the security guards at the entrance hall.
Vice : What time is it now anyway?
He peeked at his watch once again and saw that it was already almost seven. He needs to go now. He promised Karylle that he will be there by eight at the restaurant he himself made reservations earlier that week. It had been such a busy week for the both of them that they were unable to see each other for days. He missed her. He went back to his office on the second floor to get his bag and some personal stuff. He happened to look at his reflection in the elevator mirror and thought to himself that he needed to change his clothes. He wanted to look good whenever he meets her on a date. Unfortunately, he only have time for a quick shower.
After a quick shower, he emerged from the bathroom. The bathroom was equipped with a shower room inside his office. He stepped out of it with his hair still wet. He was only wearing a white bath robe as he briskly walked towards one corner of the room and opened a large built in cabinet in his office to get the outfit he decided to wear that night. Just then, a voice caught his attention which startled him. He turned around and was surprised to see her.
Sofia : Hi Vice! I'm sorry to have startled you. I apologize for coming in this late. I tried calling you a few days ago but I guess you were busy. (She tried to act cute as she pouted and twirled a few strands of her hair). I called earlier, too during the day but I could not reach you.
Vice : I...I'm sorry. How did you get in here? I mean....the office....the showroom is already closed. It's way too late for a client visit. Besides, I don't have time right now. I'm really in a hurry. And...I don't usually answer private calls from clients. The calls are diverted to my personal secretary's phone or the office phone. I...I am sorry...uhmmm....Sofia, right? I...you may come in tomorrow at nine when we open for business.
Sofia : (Jumping up from the lush sofa where she was comfortably seated.) Ooooohhh....that is so sweet of you. You remembered my name. I'm soooo happy.
