Mount Vesuvius Moulen

THIS is the day when he will be taking over the position of Charmanship in CWSS financial Corp. plano nya sanang sabihin muna iyon kay Cristina pero hindi naman ito sumasgot sa kanyng mga tawag o text. Ayaw naman nyang pumunta basta sa bahay nito dahil baka mainis ang dalaga sakanya.

"Dude, are you nervous?"

"Fuck you I am not. I never been nervous in my life."

"Sa pawis na nakikita ko sa mukha mo, parang relax ka nga."

"Shut up."

"Shh. Don't be nervous bundok, hindi ka naman kakainin ng board." Inayos pa ni Lyall ang kanyang necktie at pinunasan ang kanyang noo.

Agad naman nyang hinawi ang kaibigan ng pumasok ang kanyang assistant.

"Sir, they are ready for you."

Tinapik sya ni Lyall sa balikat at nag thumbs up pa ito sakanya.

PAG KATAPOS ng meeting ay nakasimangot syang bumalik sa kanyang office. He already has his own place in this building which was arranged by his assistant few days ago.

"She's not there?" kantyaw sa kanya ng kaibigan ng makita nito ang kanyang mukha.

"Nah."

"Of course, she's not yet a division head wala talaga sya doon."

"Right, But how the hell did you know that?"

"Money, handsomeness and connection." Hindi nalang nya ito pinansin pero nag salita ulit si Lyall. "So Cristina, is she some sort of your flavor or you are really into her?"

"Why are you asking?"

"Curious. So?"

"I feel challenge by her. Flavor or not, following her makes me happy."

"Ipapa alala ko lang sayo na best friend yan ni Glycel. Kapag sinaktan mo yan hindi ka lang sakanya mananagot pati kay Venom."

"I will not hurt her. I don't hurt woman."

"And pigs can fly, alright." Sarkastiko nitong sagot.

When everything is settled and when there's nothing Lyall can get gossip from him, he left. And as his usual thing he decided to visit each department of this company.

Nang nasa finance department na sya ay agad nyang hinanap si Cristina, but instead of her it was the head of the finance who approaches her. Kasama pa nito ang dati nyang naka date na kaibigan ni cristina which happened to be the assistant.

"Sir, what a pleasant surprise."

Isang matipid na ngiti lamang ang ibinigay nya dito. Inilibot sya nito sa buong floor at ipinakita sa kanya kung ano ang mga department na hawak nito. Nang mapunta sila sa Tax accounting ay parang na excite sya ngunit hindi nya pinahalata.

"Where is the accounting head? Seems like her desk is empty."

"The head of accounting is on scheduled leave Sir. She will be back after a week. Is there anything you need from her department?"

"Nothing. I should get going, I just want to check everyone and how are you all doing. I see that everything seems good."

"Yes Mr. Moulen, everything is under control. Nothing to worry about."

Isang marahang tango lang ang isinagot nya bago umalis at bumalik sa kanyang opisina. All the excitement he felt awhile ago just died down. Cristina is on vacation but, she did not even inform him. Masyado syang naging busy kaya nakalimutan nyang i-check ito.
