" Reminiscing memories or making someone jealous?"
Jasmine
"This is the schedule of Mr. Verlice this month,ma'am Jasmine." Bigay sa akin ng assistant ni dad whose name is Amanda.
Kailangan ko pang kausapin si Adrian para isabay mga kapatid ko kapag papasok,malapit lang naman siya sa amin. I just need to settle the company before going back to school.I can sense stress that is approaching me.
"Dad is on leave for a while as well as his secretary tita Helena. I will be in charge and don't worry I'll ask permission from dad if may kailangang gawin or katanungan. Also, bear with me kasi hindi ko pa masyadong gamay ang mga bagay-bagay." Sabi ko at tinitingnan ang naka-folder na mga papel.
Looking at this piled folders, stress na agad ako. Last Friday ko pa inaasikaso lahat ng work ni dad pero hindi ko rin naman pinapabayaan ang pag-aaral ko. Nagtatanong ako kay Sandra through social media.
"It's okay." Sabi ni Amanda at ngumiti. I am close with her kasi lagi ko siyang nakakasama when I am with dad so it's normal for us to talk in a casual way unless may mga ibang tao kaming kasama.
I gaze at the important events that dad will get involve with and there are 2 major events,some are just inspections and meetings.
"These are the papers that requires approval." Sabi ni Amanda at inilapag sa table ang isang tambak na papel.
"Thank you." Sabi ko at isa-sang binasa ang mga papel. Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras at sobrang dilim na pala. I look at my phone and it is 7pm, nangangalay na rin ako.
"Finally nakalahati ko na." Sabi ko sa aking sarili. Lumabas na ako sa opisina ni dad and I saw Amanda sitting while working.
"Let's grab some coffee?" I offered at humikab.
"Sure at kanina pa ako nangangalay dito." Sagot niya at tumawa. Nasa entrance na kami ng kumpanya nang makasalubong namin si Cohen.
"Good evening Ms.Ellis and Amanda." Bati siya sa akin at ngumiti. The disaster is here.
"Good evening Sir." Bati ni Amanda at ngumiti.
"Good evening Mr. Dela Peña." Bati ko at nginitian siya pabalik.
"You're done with work?" Tanong niya sa akin.
"Yes." Tipid kong sagot.
"Can I invite you for a coffee Ms. Ellis?" Cohen offered. As much as possible, I don't want to act rude because of our parent's partnership.
"I am going to have a coffee with Amanda." Sagot ko sa kaniya habang naglalakad kami.
"Then, can I join you?" Tanong niya habang nakangiti, hay nako naman talaga.
"Sure, you can." Sagot ko sa kaniya.
"Let's go." He said and we went to our own cars since we are already in the parking lot.
Binilisan ko ang pagpatakbo ng sasakyan ko habang humahabol siya. I just smirk when I notice that he stoped because the streetlight suddenly turn red. "Serves him right." Rinig kong sabi ni Amanda at tumawa.
