"Kung mag-aaply ka talaga, you need to talk to my brother." Sabi ko.
"Mateo?" Tanong niya, tumango naman ako. "First time ko siyang makikilala. I need your support. Masungit pa naman 'yon."
"Kay Noah ka nalang kasi mag-apply." Pilit ko dahil kaunti nalang ang ineemploy namin na engineers at nag-eend na kinukuha din sila ng engineering groups na nakakapartner namin. Which in the past years, sa Riversons napupunta ang engineers namin.
"Can't you employ me? Tapos kapag okay na, lilipat nalang ako doon. Like you said."
"Hindi nga. Kailangan mo munang pumasa kay Mateo."
A few conversations later, nag-agree siya na kausapin si Theo.
"'Wag mo nang banggitin na kilala mo ako personally. Hindi ka tatanggapin no'n." Pagbiro ko before knocking on Theo's door.
"May nag-aaply, Mr. Fernandez." Paalam ko.
"Let them in." Uto niya saakin kaya mahinang tinulak ko si Sky papasok sa office at iniwan na siya doon.
I didn't need to worry about Sky. Alam kong dedicated din siya sa trabaho niya at magaling naman siya. He doesn't need anyone's help to get wherever he wants to go.
"Are you free na daw po ba miss?" Tanong saakin ni Tamara na kakapasok lang sa office.
"As of now, oo. Who's asking?" I answered but she just gave me a mischievous smile before turning around to leave the room.
Not even a minute later, someone else entered the room.
It was Noah.
"Do you have time now?" Bungad niya.
"Konti lang." I admitted.
"Can I take it up?" He asked.
"Fine. Any problems sa site? Am I needed?" Tanong ko, gesturing for him to sit down.
"Nope. It's all handled. I'm here to ask the questions i've been wanting to." He stated.
"Sige lang. But I already said, hindi ko maipapangakong sasagutin ko lahat ng tanong mo."
"Where did you go?" Umpisa niya.
"Italy."
"Anong ginawa mo doon?"
"I went to college. 'Yon naman talaga ang dapat gawin after high school diba?" Tumango siya.
"Medicine?" He asked if I studied what I planned to.
"Nope. Fine arts." I saw how his eyes lit up so I averted my gaze.
"Doon mo nakilala boyfriend mo?"
"He's not my boyfriend yet. Pero oo." I answered assuming he was talking about Brylle.
"Oh, okay. Fine arts din?"
"Business. Akala ko ba tungkol saakin ang mga tanong mo?" I lightly snapped.
"Si Mr. Fernandez, I don't know him. Why?" Tanong niya.
He was confused because he knew I only had one brother. Akala ko din naman 'yon until four years ago.
"Next question." Iniwasan kong sagutin 'yung tanong niya dahil sensitive para saakin 'yon plus I don't know how to answer him anyways.
"Uhm sige. Why did you come back?"
"Para makapag-trabaho dito sa kompanya namin." I answered with full confidence.
"'Yun lang?" He sounded like he was hoping for a different answer.
