Building Our Broken Hearts (Course Series #3)

Kabanata 35

"The meeting is closed."

I said as I stood up and left the meeting room. I didn't give a chance to the board members to talk with me. I'm not in the mood to talk to them and if I gave them a chance, there's a possible that I'll shout at them.

Dinistansya ko nalang ang sarili ko dahil puro matatanda na ako board members. I still have respect to them even though I am the boss here. Magpapakalma muna ako bago nila ako makakausap.

"You still have 1 hour to relax before your next meeting Ma'am." My secretary said. Nakasunod lang pala ito sa akin.

I just nodded and stood up in front of the elevator. When it's finally opened, I immediately entered as well as my secretary. People inside this elevator greeted me and I just nodded my head to them. My secretary was the one who pressed the button for me.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest. I sighed heavily and waited for the elevator to stop at my floor. When the elevators door opened, I immediately stepped out and went straight to my office.

Pabagsak akong umupo sa swivel chair ko at tinukod ang isang siko sa lamesa. Napahawak ako sa sentido ko at hinihilot ito. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at napabuntong hininga bago nagsimulang magbasa ng mga papeles. Hindi pa tumatagal ng ilang minuto biglang bumukas ang pintoan ng opisina ko.

"What's with the face mareng Max?" Tanong ni Dyna at umupo sa harap ng lamesa ko. Napasandal ako sa swivel chair ko.

"Kainis!" I said. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.

"Meeting?" She asked and I nodded.

"Bumaba yung sales sa isang branch natin sa Kuala Lumpur. Ayun, nakatikim tuloy ng bulyaw ko yung Sales Manager." I explained. She chuckled.

"So strict eh no?" She said.

"Yes, only when we talk about sales." I said. Napailing nalang ito.

"Do you have time? Tara coffee." Aya nito. Napatingin naman ako sa mga papeles ko.

"Don't you dare bring your papers with you Dixon. Mabilis lang tayo doon! Ibabalik rin kita rito." She said. I pouted at her.

"Fine!" I surrendered.

Nagpaalam muna ako sa sekretarya ko bago kami umalis ni Dyna. Hindi na kami nag kotse dahil may coffee shop naman sa gilid nitong kompanya. Pagdating namin ay agad kaming nag order ng kape.

Some people here are from my company. Well, malapit lang eh kaya kapag may free time sila dito sila tumatambay o hindi kaya sa cafeteria ng kompanya. My employees needs a coffee as well as their boss, kaya ako andito.

"Do you have plan to go back to Philippines?" Dyna suddenly asked. I looked at her because I was busy looking outside the window.
