Please, Remember

Chapter 2

He is spacing out, staring at the wall. Nakaupo sa kanyang upuan at nilalaro ang hawak na ballpen. He went back to his senses when he hears a knock.

"Come in." He said then the door swung open revealing his secretary.

"Sir, they declined our appointment." His secretary told him. Kumunot naman ang noo nya dahil sa narinig.

"Try again. Kulitin mo hanggang sa pumayag. I need to meet the CEO." He said.

"Yes, Sir." His secretary replied then left.

He scan again the files for the nth time now. Hindi nya maintindihan pero may parte sa kanya na gustong mapasok ang kompanyang ito. Hindi para kalabanin ngunit para kilalanin ang nasa likod nito.

"I will do everything just to meet you. Trust me." He said as he read those files.

Olivia entered her office, her secretary was following her.

"Nandito na lahat?" She asked Vann. Tumango naman ito.

"Yes, Ma'am." Olivia open the folder and scan it.

"You may go, thank you." She said then Vann left her office.

She read every details and reviews it. She place the back of her palm under her chin and think.
The other company has a good reputation. Hindi man ito kasing laki ng kompanya nya pero maganda at maayos ang pamamalakad. Base on the files she reads. It has a better future. Of course, she know who's the CEO of that company. Kilalang-kilala nya.

Days had passed and she's burried on her workloads. Ito naman ang buhay nya ngayon. Bahay at trabaho, mga papeles ang kasama. Nasanay na nga sya eh! She's signing those papers when her secretary barged in.

"Ma'am, nandito po sila Ma'am Jazz." Vann informed her.

"Let them in." She said not looking at her secretary. Maya-maya pa ay pumasok na sila Jazz, Gesille at Alex.

"Grabe naman Tin, pahinga ka naman." Wika ni Jazz.

She halts up her head and gave them a smile. Tumayo pa sya mula sa kinauupuan at sinalubong ng yakap at halik sa pisngi ang mga kaibigan.

"I have to Jazz, ayokong may maiwan akong pendings." She replied. She then motioned them to sit. They did so.

"Wala pa ring pinagbago 'tong office mo ah." She smiled on Gesille's comment. Yes, wala syang binago sa loob maliban sa pintura nito.

"You want coffee? Juice or something?" She asked them.

"Coffee Tin, pagtimpla mo nga kami ng kape." Alex answered, walking around her table. She raised her eyebrow and place her hand on her hip, glaring Alex.

"What?! But wait, what are you doing here?! As far as I can remember, man or men are not allowed here inside my office. Who let you in?" She asked him.

"Ay ang sama! Kalbuhin kaya kita dyan?!" Inis na sagot ni Alex. Jazz and Gesille giggled and shakes their head.

Bakit walang nakakapasok na lalaki sa opisina nya without her permission? That's another story of hers to tell.

Olivia was alone at their house because her Mom went to New Zealand to check their business. No maids nor guards. Sanay naman kase sila sa mga gawaing bahay at hindi sila nasanay na umaasa sa iba. 'Yon ang itinuro sa kanila ng Daddy nila ng Ate nya na naka-based sa US.

She run downstairs because the doorbell rang.

"A minute!"  She shouted then open the main door. But she was startled when she saw someone who just entered the gate. Then she remember, she didn't locked it earlier.
