WITH HIM PART 9
I had been in the meeting since six in the morning. It was already seven thirty and my headache was piling up.
I looked up at Brett on the other side. He was sick today, but he had to be here. We opened a new branch in Alaska, USA; he and I were the two most important people in this meeting.
I looked at my boss who was sitting beside me as I whispered. "Pagod na ako."
He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and looked at the other side of the conference table again. We were eleven, all in all, five VPs. Four Managers. The President. And the Acting Manager.
Guess who was the acting manager?
It was her, Barbie. She was sitting beside him.
I didn't know why. She should be sitting beside her boss. And I didn't know why his manager was sitting on the other side of my boss.
Some sitting arrangement manipulations, perhaps.
Brett's chair was turned all the way facing the screen. He was seriously looking at the big screen in front of us. His arms were crossed over his chest.
He wore a black Guess hooded jacket with a front zip over his navy blue long-sleeved shirt, then a pair of black trousers. The hood was on his head.
When I last checked, he had a fever. Thirty-nine degrees Celsius. I was quite worried.
I looked back at the screen and sighed. I heard my boss chuckle again.
At eight, Ferra, the president, called for a fifteen-minute break.
I looked at Brett. He was looking at me. His eyes were red from fever. Naawa naman ako. "Do you want anything? Water, coffee, milk?" I asked him.
Barbie was looking at us, along with the others.
I really didn't care now. Bahala nang mapag-tsismisan.
"Can you get the tea in my drawer and put it in hot water, please?"
