HAVING A PEACEFUL working place relaxed Jillian's mind. Her brother made sure na wala siya masyadong trabaho, papers were already signed, meetings were already settled and all she need to do was to entertain some business men and women na nangangailangan ng serbisyo ng agency ng kapatid niya. It wasn't that tiring, medyo marami ang mga nakakausap niya and after that, pinapaasikaso niya agad sa mga empleyado ng kapatid niya, para hindi sila matambakan.
Nag re-retouch ng make-up si Jillian nang mag ring ang cellphone niya, showing up Laur's name on her phone screen. A lopsided smile formed in her lips, before she answered his call at niloud speaker 'yon.
"Jillian Sandoval Martinez, speaking." She playfully said. Advance siya mag-isip, bagay naman sa kanya ang apelyido nito.
She heard Laur chuckled and the sounds of flipping papers. [Nice surname, Miss Sandoval. Want to have lunch with Mr. Martinez?]
"Which one? Ikaw ba o si Tito?" Nakangising tanong niya.
[Nichos Laur is already taken, miss. What about his first born? Want to date him?] Pakikisakay nito sa kalokohan niya.
Jillian bit her lower lip. "When and where?"
[Are you busy?]
"Not really."
[Is it too much to ask if ikaw na ang pumunta sa office ko? I already ordered and prepare our food.]
Jillian shake her head and placed her kit inside her bag and stood up. "Ready your lips for me, please?" She playfully said.
[My lips is all yours, Miss Sandoval.] Laur answered in between his laughs and ended his call.
Mabilis lang siyang nag-ayos at lumabas sa opisina ng kapatid niya na gamit niya ngayon. His brother's secretary stood up and smiled at her.
"May darating pa ba? Aalis lang ako saglit, kakain ako sa labas." She informed.
Umiling lang ito sa kanya, "mamayang hapon pa po, ma'am."
That's good. She just nod her head and walk as fast as she can. Jillian missed having lunch with Laur. Hindi siya makapaniwala na natiis niya 'yon ng ilang buwan. She slid herself inside her car and drove towards Laur's company. Jillian was humming to herself habang nasa biyahe siya.
Nang makarating siya sa tapat ng building, may lumapit na guard sa kanya at hiningi ang susi ng sasakyan niya. She smiled and let him parked her car. Papasok na sana siya nang mahagilap ng mga mata niya ang babae na idini-date ni Laur noon. She was causing a ruckus and yelling to call Laur and inform him that she wanted to see him.
"Bakit siya pinapasok niyo?!" Narinig niyang sigaw nito, bahagya siyang lumingon at nakita ito na nakaturo sa kanya.
Tumaas ang kilay ni Jillian.
"Ma'am, girlfriend po 'yan ni Sir. Natural lang na papapasukin namin. Kayo po, mahigpit na habilin ni Sir na huwag na kayong papasukin at pinapasabi na tigilan niyo na siya."
"Hey! I know his father, business partner niya ang Daddy ko!"
"Sa ibang business po siguro nila, ma'am. Kay Sir Laur po ito, hindi kay Mr. Martinez, sa kabilang building kapo, sigurado na papapasukin ka."
Jillian sneered and walk inside the building, paki ba niya sa babae? Manggugulo lang naman ito panigurado. She walk inside with her head held high, some employees were greeting her and some were whispering how lucky she was for being Laur's girl. Kung alam lang ng mga ito, nagmukha rin siyang desperada sa lalaki, noon. He's with her now. Ayon lang naman ang mahalaga sa kanya.
Jillian was more than willing to throw her lovely collective figures just to have Laur Martinez.
"He's waiting inside, Miss Sandoval." Ani ng secretary nito.
