Kobie

To say I was surprised is an understatement. 

What the heck! our companies will be going up against each other?

Anong kalokohan to? Does Ralph knows that Andi will be here? Ang dami kong tanong sa pinsan ko na yun. O baka wala rin siyang alam sa mixed up.

He told me that it's in the bag already and I just have to attend this meeting for formalities. 

Mukhang nagulat pa si Andi when she found out na co-owners na kami ni Ralph. 

Hindi na yata talaga sila nag uusap ni Ralph kaya wala siyang idea sa mga nangyayari.

I was still thinking when Mr. Laurence came into the room. 

We all greeted each other then the meeting started. We proceeded to the presentation quickly. 

Ganyan talaga pag big boss kausap mo, walang sinasayang na oras. Straight to the point agad. 

Andi stood up and started talking about their proposal. I'm just looking at her. 

Hindi pa din siya nag babago. Yung drive niya sa work is still the same, if not more. She came prepared. 

This is what she wants, she told me that before. To be the best in everything she does. Yung pangarap niya, abot na abot niya na. Kaya mas lalo akong humanga sa kanya. Napakasipag at napaka seryoso pagdating sa trabaho. 

"Rebranding, analysis, cost-effective. Since re-branding, we need to consider alternative synergies. Its two products immerging, so they should be compatible." andi is saying. 

Then she looked at me. Huh, how long have I been daydreaming? Bakit parang siya lang yung sa utak ko. 

Napatuwid ako ng upo. Wala yata akong naiintidihan sa mga sinasabi niya pero tumango tango ako para hindi halata. 

So far, it's going really well, I reckon. 

"This partnership will go a long mile. Brownies and sports drinks create energy, excitement, and excellence," she added then sat down. 

"Wow, thats impressive Andi. You really did your research about the two products. That will definitely get the attention of the public." Sir Laurence said. 

Wait, what? Is Andi's team getting the account?

Oh no, this is not happening. Ralph wont be able to forgive me if I fail to close the deal. 

Think Kobie.

I stood up and looked around. 

"Excuse me, sir. May I say something?" sabi ko

"Gi ahead, Mr. Brown. I want to hear your proposal too." he replied. 

I took a deep breath and relax a bit before I get to the front. 

"Brownies and a sports drink can also refresh, rehydrates, replenish and reactivate the energy. So if we combine that analogy with excitement and excellence, then boom, we have an unfathomable union of two products." I said

"Are you trying to say that your idea and CDM's are both having worthwhile?" sir laurence asked. 

I was surprised with the question so I didnt know what to say. 

I looked at Andi as if asking for help. Sa lahat ng ayaw ko eh yung magmukhang helpless lalo na sa harap ni Andi. 

But what can I do eh, shes more experienced than me. 

Really?

Parang ganun na nga siguro, huh.
