"I need a graphical representation of your forecast report... Do another forecast... Time horizon is medium range. Provide me quantitative evidence that will support it..." Carter said in a monotone. He's talking to someone over the phone. I think it's about work

I stretched some more before I jogged passed him

He caught my arm with his firm hand to stop me

His forehead creased as he fixed his eyes on me

"Yes, send it to my email as soon as you can... Also, send Levi a copy so he could analyze and do something about the market if there's a need. Thank you" he ended the call and placed his phone inside his pocket

"Where are you going?" he asked while scanning my outfit

"Jogging" I simply replied

His eyes remained on my bare stomach

"We have a gym inside. Doon ka na lang mag exercise" he suggested

I rolled my eyes and removed his grip on my arm. Hindi naman hantad ang buong tiyan ko, yung upper part lang and what's his problem with my sports bra and leggings?!

"I want some fresh air. So if you will excuse me..." I took a step forward and he was alaramed by that that he did the same

"Sasamahan na kita"

My brow shot up. I scanned him. He's wearing a white shirt, a khaki shorts and a pair of slippers

"No thanks. Maybe next time" I declined. May trabaho pa sya di ba? I overheard that he will going to analyze some reports and sort of

"I'll change... quickly" he said firmly. He's so damn persistent. He keeps pushing this

Bago pa ako makatutol ulit ay tinalikuran nya ako at tumakbo papasok sa loob ng mansyon

Tsss bahala nga sya diyan

I chose a song on my playlist then put my earphones on and jogged

I started to hummed with Taylor Swift's song

Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I've never been

Till you put me down oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I've never been

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

And speaking of trouble... he's now running beside me. Argh Carter!

Bumagal ang takbo ko at ganun din ang ginawa nya. I turned to the left and of course he did the same!

I continue running and ignored his presence. But of course it is not that simple. Lahat ata ng nadadaanan namin ay kilala sya dahil binabati sya ng mga ito. So to feed my annoying curiousity, I was glancing at him from time to time to see his response to those greetings most especially to the girls

I stopped from running to take a short break. My breathing is erratic. Huminto rin si Carter na medyo hinihingal din. Inabot nya sa akin ang bottled water na hawak nya
