I'm sipping on my mint mojito and savoring the summer breeze of Dubai. I was on the balcony of my room hotel celebrating for my new endeavor and it was my last day today kaya sinusulit ko na.

Someone knocked outside my room kaya tumayo ako at pinagbuksan ang room service.

"Good morning, ma'am. I'm Aisha for room service. I'm here to deliver your orders ma'am. May I come in?"

"Yes, you may!" I said professionally.

Minsanan ko lang 'to maranasan kaya magbubuhay prinsesa muna ako ngayon bago maging katulong ulit ng Pilipinas.

Salamat sa malaking incentives galing kay bossing. I'm delighted!

And speaking of the devil who wears Prada and now interrupting my wholesome vacation, he was calling me.

"Good morning, sir! This is Leighrah Mendez of Sonoflope. I'm sad to say, sir, that you called a wrong number. I'm on vacation po kasi." I smiled widely to show my white teeth to the beach in front of me.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that Miss Mendez. I just called you to inform that Mr. Lopez, that's me, telling you to take back the promotion. That's all, Ms Mendez. Enjoy your day!"

"Hoy potek! Sandali!" sigaw ko natataranta. Narinig ko ang hagalpak niya sa kabilang lupalop ng mundo kung nasaan man siya naroroon.

Binuksan niya ang video ng call. Sinalubong ko siya ng taas kilay. "Just kidding. I got you there, Leighrah. Three points for me," then he winked at me.

I rubbed my fast beating heart. "Kinabahan ako doon. Langya ka, sir. Ang seryoso mo akala ko totoo na!"

He chuckled sexily and shows me his tricked smile.

"Kumusta ang buhay reyna? Masarap ba?"

"Mas masarap pa rin ako, Lopez." I muttered amusingly, nasamid siya. I grinned playfully. Two points added for my score.

"Patikim kung ganun!" He go along with my antics.

"Mahal ang service ko, sir. Hotel mo ang payment, included ka na. Full package." He glared at me, beyond belief. I laugh my lungs out when I successfully knock him sideways.

I won!

"By the way, natanong mo na ba sa General manager ng hotel kung ano ang tips paano ma-reach ang 7-star hotel?"

I rolled my eyes even though he can't see me. Ito talaga ang binilin niya sa'kin bago niya ako dinala sa Dubai at pinag-check in sa mamahaling hotel.

"Sir, sana pinaturuan mo muna ako paano mag-Arabic para ma-impress ko naman ang General manager. Ang kapal naman ng mukha kong makisalamuha na walang armas. Eh di, tameme ako, diba? Utak mo, Pres nasa ex mo na naman!" Natatawa akong tumingin sa screen ng ipad. Sumimangot siya.

"Sealed your mouth, Mendez. You're spreading virus again!"

"Aysus, si President problemado na naman! Bakit anong balita ngayon dyan? Hinahanap na ba ako ni Florence? Sabihin mo miss na miss ko na din siya."

"Ako ang boss mo dito! Bakit ako ang inuutusan mo?" He now used his President mode on me, pero wala yun talab sa akin. Kabisado ko na ang mood ng lalaking ito.

"Favor lang, bossing. Ang sungit mo! Ganyan talaga kapag signs of aging. Pa-derma ka muna sa Korea."

"Salamat na lang sa advice mong walang kwenta. Sige na, enjoyin mo na ang masasayang araw mo dyan dahil sigurado ako na pag-uwi mo dito. Sash ng bills mo ang ibubungad ko sa'yo! Goodbye!" He hang up the call. Napanganga ako.
