The next day...
Ten-ten-tenen-ten-tenen-ten (phone ringing)
"Ugh! Damn it!" I said as I reach for my ringing phone.
"Hello?"
"Ma'am Sophia! Where are you? Are you back in London?"
"I'm here like 5 hours ago. Why the call? What happened?"
"Ma'am, you forgot! The breakfast meeting with the Mendoza Air's CEO! The very handsome and hot Louis Mendoza will be attending."
I glanced at the alarm clock at the beside table. Shit. 6:30?
"What time would thee meeting be?"
"7:30 ma'am."
"Shit. Ok I'll be there." I said and I ended the call and started the shower.
----------------•----------------
7:15 and I'm on my way to Lim Aviation when I received a call from mom. Wow, that's rare.
"Hello."
"Hi Sophia. How are you?"
"Good mom, just a bit stressed."
"Don't stress yourself too much ok." She said and I heard her sigh. "You know what Sophia, why don't you take a month leave and have a vacation here at the Philippines a bit longer."
"Mom! I was just there yesterday."
"Yes, and you only stayed here for a week. You didn't even had the chance to date."
I know where this conversation is leading...tsk tsk tsk
"Mom! I told you I don't like to."
"Sophia. You're already 33 years old, and I'm 55! I need to see my grandkids before I retire you know! Plus, you also need someone who will help you with the business. So you better take that vacation and your sister and I will take care of it."
"Mom. You know what, I'll think about it. I'm already in my office and I'll call you when I'm decided ok?"
"Ok. Just open your heart to possibilities my dear, and he might just be right there, waiting for you. Bye Sophia, love you."
"Bye mom, love you too." I ended the call and I entered the building. I glanced at the wall clock. 7:35. Crap! I'm late!
"Good morning maam." The employees greeted.
"Good morning." I said as I entered the elevator.
"Good morning Ma'am Sophia." the attendant said.
"Good morning. Floor 20 please."
"Ok ma'am." the attendant said as she pressed the floor number...but the door opened suddenly and a guy in suit entered. He didn't look familiar...hmmm... maybe a new employee.
"Floor 18 please." he said. Floor 18? The banquet room? Maybe he's with Mr. Mendoza.
I stared at him and gosh, he's handsome. With that brown eyes and fair complexion. He looks like a Filipino....and he's hot!!!
"Floor 18 sir." the attendant said and the guy smiled and left. Damn! His smile!
I fixed myself as I wait for my floor.
"Floor 20 ma'am Sophia."
I thanked her and I ran to my secretary.
"Ma'am Sophia. Thank goodness you're here! Mr. Mendoza is waiting for you."
"What time did he arrive?"
"Just now ma'am. Floor 18. Let's go!" she said as she grabbed folders.
"Ma'am, here's your cookie and coffee." she said as she reached for the cup and the small bag.
I opened the bag and broke the cookie for an advice. I always believed in fortune cookie's advice.
"Open your heart to possibilities. What is meant to be is meant to happen."
Is this a kind of set-up or just mere coincidence?
"Let's go maam." she said as she pressed the elevator button and as I eat and drink.
The door opened.
"Floor 18." She said as we hopped to the elevator.
I fixed myself and kept the remains of the cookie and coffee and put the paper in my pocket.
Ting!
"Floor 18." The attendant said and we hurriedly walked to the banquet room.
"Good Morning Ma'am." the guard said as he opened the door for us.
"Mr. Mendoza, we apologise for being late." I said and he faced me.
Damn! He's the guy in the elevator with that smile and brown eyes and hotness like wow!
"Good Morning Ms. Sophia Lim. Mr. Mendoza from Mendoza Air."
"Sophia Lim, Lim Aviation." I said and we shook hands. I felt giddy as our hands touched, there's some kind of electricity and it felt right.
I never felt this way for the last 15 years.
It Just Felt So Right.
I think I really need to open my heart to possibilities...
I think I really need to learn to love again...
But I think I found it here in London...
Right Here, Right Now.
I think I don't need the vacation at all!
;-)
