Pagdating ni Fina sa opisina ay meron ng coffee sa kanyang table. Hindi nya alam kung kanino galing dahil 4:00 palang ng umaga at wala pa doon ang karamihan ng mga empleyado. Hindi naman sya nagreklamo dahil Starbucks ang kape na iyon at alam nyang yun ang bubuhay sa inaantok nyang kaluluwa.

Kinuha ni Fina lahat ng documents, reports pati na rin ang kanyang laptop na kanyang kakailanganin sa out of town business meeting nila. Halos hindi na alam ni Fina ang gagawin when she bumped into Wil. "Yo, good morning Miss Hardworking! Bakit ang dami mong dala!" Bungad ng binata sa kanya na hindi naman agad namukaan ni Fina dahil may suot itong mask.

"Wil?" Gulat na tanong ni Fina. Ibinaba ni Wil ang mask ng mabilis to show his face at ibinalik naman nya ito kaagad. "What are you doing here this early? And why are you wearing a mask?" Paguusisa ng dalaga when she dropped her jacket envelope pero nasalo naman ni Wil kaagad.

"Hey, I am also going on an out of town business meeting, but I don't look like you." Pang aasar nya kay Fina. "Let me help you. Are they paying you enough to work this hard?" tanong ng binata. "Did you even sleep last night?"

"Yes, they're paying me more than enough. Tsaka galing kasi ako sa WVO's office kagabi. I had to talked to some people then I stayed for awhile - teka nga, why am I explaining myself to you?!! Nanay ko nga hindi nagtatanong!!" Iniabot nya lahat ng dala kay Wil. "Alam mo ba kung saan yung place? Hindi sumasagot yung team ko. We were supposed to go in the same vehicle to discuss the operations." Inilabas ni Fina ang phone habang naglalakad sa parking lot. "They're not picking up. We'll be late! Kanina pa ako dito tapos wala pa rin sila." Pinagmamasdan lang sya ni Wil habang naglalakad sa unahan nito. "Hello!! Nasaan na kayo? I've been waiting for the group text but I didn't receive anything. I'm in the parking lot. Hindi ko makita yung van - what? How - I don't know the place - I - you said we have a driver to take us there - just send me the address - hello? Hello?!! Ugh!!!!!! She hang up on me!!!!!" Inis na inis na sigaw ni Fina while walking back and forth murmuring.

"That doesn't sound good. What's wrong?" Paguusisa ni Wil.

"My team doesn't like me. They never liked me. I should've thought of this! Ugh!! Now I need to be there, but I am here. They left - they left without me. Ugh!!!!!!" She screamed, taking it out on Wil. "I am so stupid to trust them when they don't even trust me!!!!"

"Hey, hey, look at me." Hinawakan ni Wil ang mukha ni Fina. "I am still here. We can go together." Mahinahon nitong sabi.

"Together? Wait, are you going to the new warehouse?" Tanong ni Fina at tumango naman si Wil. "You know how to get there? You know the address?" Tumango lang ng tumango si Wil sa bawat tanong ni Fina. "Do you have a car? Oh stupid of me, of course!" tumalikod si Fina at naglakad pero bumalik ito. "Where's your car?"

Napatawa si Wil dahil natataranta si Fina. "In the front. Come on, follow me." Ngumiti si Fina at sumunod ito kay Wil. "You shouldn't let your team do this to you. You were hired because you're good." Sabi ni Wil na pinapagaan ang loob ni Fina pero napansin nyang wala ito sa sarili. "Are you still with me?"

"What was that? I'm sorry, I am thinking of a good reason kapag na-late ako sa meeting. Nandun daw kasi yung owner ng company. Alam mo kasi this is the first company I applied to na never kong nakita yung owner, or CEO or kahit sino. Dun kasi sa dati kong trabaho bigatin agad yung kausap ko." Bigla syang napatigil dahil naalala nya kung paano nya nakilala si Ezra. "I mean, ayokong mapahiya sa may ari. I am the operations manager and I have to come up with a good plan." Napansin ni Fina na nakatitig lang sa kanya si Wil habang inilalagay sa back seat ang mga gamit nito. "Sorry, I get too chatty when I am nervous." Paliwanag nito while scratching the back of her neck.
