You All Over Me ('La Magie' Book 2)

LQ

9:55 AM

Bong and the Cabinet members were already sitting in the meeting room.

Maaga din kasing natapos ang early morning speaking engagement niya kaya pagkatapos nun, dumeretso na siya sa meeting.

It was just a normal day in the palace.

The mood was very light yung tipong good mood at nagbibiruan ang mga cabinet members about random stuff.

Si Bong naman, halatang di mapakali.

He was on his phone texting Sara to remind her about the meeting.

Importante kasi talaga ang araw na yun for everyone coz that particular session was about budget allocation.

And usually, those kinds of budget meetings take almost 12 hours to finish.

So while waiting for Sara to show up on the TV screen, nakisali nalang din muna sa siya sa biruan ng mga kasama niya.

"O you know what to do ha.. dapat maging extra mabait at sweet tayo kay madam A para mabigyan tayo ng malaking allocation diba madam? By the way, ganda ng suot mo ngayon bagay sayo." pabirong sabi ni Bong kaya biglang nagtawanan ang mga cabinet members.

Pati na din ang pinuring si Secretary A ay di na maiwasang mapangiti.

Napaka bolero naman Kasi ng presidente samahan pa ng killer smile aba sino ba namang hindi mapapabungisngis.

So when the people around them saw the Secretary's reaction, mas lalo pa nila itong tinukso

Then one spoke

"Naku naku.. mukhang lugi tayo nito ahh naunahan na tayo ng DA secretary!! tsk tsk.. how can we compete with the charming president?" Sabi ng isa dahilan para mas lalo nilang tuksuhin si Bong na tawang tawa naman.

The he answered

"Syempre you can't compete with me.. so paano secretary approved na ba ang budget na hinihingi ko?" biro niya with a big smile on his face.

Sumagot din naman si Miss A.

"Yes sir! kayo pa! approve na yan"

"Yun naman pala eh! Approved na daw ako kay Madam so I guess we should start the meeting? Pa check nga kung anjan na si Inday?" utos ni Bong sa tech team na agad namang tiningan ang Big screen sa harap niya.

Then the personnel responded

"Yes sir! Kanina pa pala andito si VP naka off lang ang TV kaya wala tayong makita pero ok na po"

When Bong heard what the IT guy said, parang bigla siyang kinilabutan at pinagpawisan ng malamig.

He knew that Joking and teasing the budget secretary in front of Sara's live telecon was a bad idea.

When he realized that she might get very upset with him, bigla siyang napatext dito

B: Love, ba't wala ka pa sa screen start na tayo.. By the way, Kumain ka na ba?

Bong held his breath while he waited for her response but for some reason, hindi naman sumagot.

Kaya kahit kabado na, Bong still kept his professionalism and asked for someone to lead the prayer.

When the prayer started, hindi pa din nagpapakita si Sara sa screen but as soon as it ended, Sara showed up in the screen with a smile on her face.

Nung makita ni Bong ang reaction ni Sara, he let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Hayy.. buti nalang nakangiti..mukhang wala namang narinig so I think I'm good." sabi niya sa sarili

And since the meeting usually starts with a round table introduction where all cabinet members give a brief overview of the things they wanted to discuss, Nag simula na ding magtanong si Bong.
