I'm so tired. Why the hell did I even drink last night? It's not me. But then again, I had enough, and I needed to vent out, and drinking was the only way I could mend myself.

Nang maimulat ko ang mga mata ay nasa parking lot na kami ng golf course. Nilingon ko si Erykah at inaayos niya ang buhok. Tinali niya itong mabuti. Hindi niya napansin na iilang segundo na akong nakatitig sa kanya.

Erykah is somehow my solace. I don't know what kind of person she is, but she's capable of many things, making her perfect. She can do all the jobs that I want her to do. She can probably manage the firm if I'm not around, and that's what I need from her.

"Have you receive my schedule from the HR?" Pinutol ko ang pag-aayos niya at umayos na rin ako sa sarili. Tinangal ko ang seatbelt para makalabas na.

"Oh? Y-Yes, Sir. I got it last night," she smiled. She quickly stepped out.

"That's good. It's your job from now on. You can message me every day and send me a follow-up text a day before any appointments so that I can prepare. I want a report every Friday and schedule data every Monday," I explained while walking down the entrance of the sports complex.

"Yes, Sir. I will do that."

Itinaas ko lang ang kamay sa information desk at sumenyas ako kay Estefan, ang bodyguard ni Papa. Nandito nga naman si Papa. Nakaramdam agad ako nang pamamanhid sa dibdib.

"Just go ahead and practice a game, Erykah. I have a business to attend, and I'll see you at lunch down the food court."

"Okay, Sir."

I didn't look at her. I have a plan in mind today, and I aim to get a contract from Mr. Okinawa. I don't want Erykah to follow me around. She will just become a burden at the moment. I don't need her yet.

Nakita ko agad ang ama ko at kasama niya ang mga kaibigan niya sa negosyo. They started playing the warm up. My eyes surveyed the place, trying to check if Mr. Okinawa was around.

Kingston told me that Mr. Okinawa plays golf here every Saturday. I haven't seen him personally because his personal secretary always represents him in every meeting. No one really knows what he looks like.

Lalapit na sana ko kay Papa nang may biglang humawak sa braso ko. Huminto ako, at nilingon ang nasa tabi ko ngayon.

"Hi, good morning," si Saber.

Oh great. What a good surprise to ruin my day.

"Saber?" My brows furrowed as we stared.

"I'm with the girls down the other side. Pumunta lang ako rito para makita ka. Hinanap kasi kita kanina pa. Mabuti nalang at nandito ka na."

I dipped my head halfway and nodded a little bit. "I'm busy at the moment."

"I heard what happened to the project. I will help you. I know Mr. Okinawa personally."

"You know him?"

I didn't expect this. I was even planning to keep my distance away from her today, but her knowing Mr. Okinawa would probably do me good.

"I will introduce you to him. Don't worry. I heard he will be coming today. I will find him for you, Glenn. I will check around, and then I will come back, okay?"

I gritted my teeth. I didn't like how Saber looked at me. I want to push her away, but dammit. She's a pain, really.

"Okay," I sighed.
