Naglalakad lang ako sa hallway, reading a folder that was sent to me when suddenly someone greeted me. "Architect Santiago! Long time no see!"

"Tumahimik ka, Gianna. Araw-araw tayo nagkikita." sagot ko nung nakita kong si Gianna pala ang bumati sakin. Long time no see? We just saw each other kaninang lunch break.

"Sungit naman ni architect. Joke lang eh." sabi ni Gianna. "Sinong nag pass ng report nato? Mali-mali mga nilagay niya dito." i said while pointing the mistakes written in the folder.

"Si Anna, i think. Sakanya mo in-assign yan diba?" sagot niya sakin. "Mali-mali to eh." naiinis kong sabi.

"Anyways, see you later sa party ni Aliya." sabi ni Gianna sakin. "Okay okay, see you."

Pumunta na ako sa office ko, pumunta nadin si Gianna sa office niya. I called my secretary Gretchen para ibalik niya ang folder kay Anna para maayos niya.

I had another project, it was designing a law firm. Diko kilala yung nagpapa-design kase in-assign niya sa secretary niya lahat. Busy daw siya sa ibang bansa eh. Kaya sa secretary niya inutos.

I was reading a report when i recieved a call. It was from the law firm project.

[Hello?] sabi ng kabilang linya.

[Hello, what can i do for you?] sagot ko sakanya. [This is from the law firm project po. Kakauwi lang po ng boss ko and he wants to meet with you. If di daw po kayo busy today.] sabi nung secretary.

[Oh, i can't meet today. Meron akong meetings scheduled. Can i meet him tomorrow nalang?] ani ko.

[He said okay ma'am.]

[Then, see you soon. Goodbye.] i said and waited for her to say goodbye to before ending the call.

I have 2 meetings scheduled today and birthday ni Aliya mamaya. Okay lang naman daw mag meet kami tomorrow eh. I checked my watch and it's time for my 4pm meeting.

Pumunta nako sa meeting room, and i saw my parents there. Oh, i forgot to mention. They own the company, i'm working in. Santiago Empires.

"Hello everyone." i greeted them and they greeted me too. I sat down beside my dad, the ceo. I don't really know what the meeting is for biglaan lang din kase.

"So good afternoon everyone." my mom started talking in front.

"So we recieved a news last night, that Attorney. Aquino, passed away." she said.

"What?" nagulat kong sabi. He's dead? But he's the company lawyer. Who will replace him now?

"He had a heart attack last night." my mom continued talking.

"Who will be the company lawyer now?" i asked my mom. "You don't have to worry about that anak, meron na kaming napag-usapan ng daddy mo. We will meet him next week. For now he's identity is staying hidden. We won't disclose his name until he agrees to work with us. Meeting has ended. Thankyou everyone."

Bat secret pa identity niya? Ano yon? Artista kase secret-secret pa? Astig ah, pa secret yung identity.

"Who will be the new lawyer, mom?" i asked her. "As i've said, i won't disclose any info about him." she replied. "Anak mo naman ako hehe sige na." i forced her. "Don't use that card on me. No, Thalia." diko parin talaga siya napilit. Ayaw din sabihin ni daddy sakin. Edi wag, di ko kayo pipilitin.
