"She called you again?" God, that girl is really suspicious.


"My secretary... this time. She won't stop so I agreed" He stopped midway because I scoffed, "Agreed to have a meeting"


"A-huh, tell me more" I crossed my arms, ready to listen. That Emma is suspicious, sa tingin ko ay gumagawa lang siya ng paraan para makapasok siya sa kumpanya o para magkaroon ng connection sa companya.


Kwinento niya agad ang pinagusapan ng secretary niya at ni Miss Emma.


"Don't you think that it's just a scam?" I asked. There's a chance na wala talaga silang balak makipagtulungan sa amin. Sinasayang lang nila oras namin.


"Their company was real, I searched about it." He corrected.


"Eh, bakit nila pinipilit makipag-partner sa atin?" Tanong ko sa sarili ko.


"Uh... what?" Gulong tanong ni Lucas, "Nothing. I was talking to myself" I laughed.


"I think... they are doing this to use us." Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang sabihin niya 'yon.


"Yeah, they might be" I nodded, "Compared to them, our company was new. It's their way to use us by offering a project together." Tapos sa huli, sa kanila babagsak lahat ng pinaghirapan, matatalo kami.


"Such a waste of time" Umiling-iling ako dahil sa inis.


"Yeah, I'm going to have a meeting with that Emma." He sat infront of me, "Do you... want to come?"


"Send me the exact place and time, we'll go" I want to go too.


"Okay, you can go back to your office" He signed the last paper I gave. Iyon naman talaga ang pinunta ko, napunta lang sa usapan na 'yon dahil kwinento niyang tumawag din 'yong Emma sa secretary niya. Sinigawan pa nga raw eh.


"Bella?"


"Yes, Miss Chandler?" Agad na lumapit sa akin ang secretary ko nang tawagin ko siya.


"Did anyone came to my office?" I asked. Baka may naghanap sa akin o ano.


"Uh... none, miss. Just the delivery" She answered politely, mukhang inalala pa kung may naghanap ba sa akin.


"Delivery?"


She nodded, "Yes, ma'am. The driver brought food and I picked it up. I was the one who entered your office to put the food on your table."


"Are you sure?" Wala akong natatandaan na nag order ako online! Kung may magpapadala man, dapat nagsasabi sila!


"Yes, it was under your name. I checked it and it was already paid" Good, akala ko ako pa ang magbabayad 'non.
