"Sam, is the date still on?"
"I'm not sure Qin. Ang dami pa kasing dapat tapusin."
"Hindi na nga tayo natuloy kahapon, di pa rin ngayon?"
"May hinahabol kasi kaming deadline. Raincheck?"
"Okay, but make sure you're free tomorrow, okay? You're supposed to be free, anyhow, coz it will be Saturday. We have to put new furnishings sa bahay para makalipat ka na."
"And I told you, Mr. Kulit, no need to do that. I'm fine in my current apartment. The area is nice, the neighborhood is safe, and there's security. For God's sake, it's inside a subdivision!"
"Nothing and nowhere is safe anymore, Tata. Wala kang kasama sa bahay, that's it. And now, you'll do some overtime work, so that means, you'll go home late. You're making me worry here, babe."
"Then don't be. I'm a big girl, I can take care of my self. Blackbelter yata itong kausap mo. At puwede ba, tantanan mo ako nang kabi-babe mo?"
"And it is still not enough for me. Fine, do your work, but don't leave the office til I come. I'll fetch you later on, okay, babe?"
"Qin, you don't have to."
"Hep, no arguments!"
"But Qin..."
He hung up the phone.
"Lover's quarrel?" Adam asked as he came forward and sit in the visitor chair, facing her.
Am I hearing it right? He's talking to me now?
As in now?
It's a miracle!
Hallelujah!
"Excuse me sir? You're talking to me?"
"Why, is there someone else around aside from the two of us?"
Why are you suddenly talking to me? Did God appear before you?
"Ahm, hindi naman po. Nakakapagtaka lang kasi kinakausap nyo na po ako ngayon."
"Now I earned the "po" from not talking to you? If I heard it correctly yesterday, kulang na lang murahin mo ako. Am I right?'
"Before I answer your question, your highness, este, sir, do you guarantee I won't be sacked from this job afterwards?"
"And before I answer your question that answers my question my princess, este, my staff, will you remove the sarcasm?" panggagaya nito sa kanya.
"Okay, no sarcasm."
"Okay, your job's safe."
Okay, here goes.
"You were rude. From day one, you were scrutinizing me literally from head to foot. I'm sure you know it's not proper to stare at people in that way. And if you're not staring, you treat me like I'm nothing, I'm not here in your office. Daig ko pa ang hangin kung lagpas-lagpasan mo. Wala lang, si tita Nancy lang ang kilala mo. And now, here you are, approaching me and suddenly started talking to me. I'm sure there's a catch in this scenario somehow. What is it this time?"
While speaking she noticed that he was intently looking at her.
Maganda pala talaga ang mata mo, Beast. Lamang ka nang sampung paligo kay Bradley Cooper.
And a smile was formed in his lips.
At walang panama si Hugh Jackman sa mga ngiti mo! Kilig!
She has awaken from her daydreaming when he spoke.
"My apologies, then."
"Excuse me?!"
