3rd Person POV:

           " Rian, bar tayo mamaya? Sweldo naman today eh." Prince suddenly said once he reached Rian's desk. When Rian looked back at him, he just smiled cutely.

" Gaga ka ba? Kakarecover mo lang like almost a week ago sa trangkaso, tapos pupunta kang bar?" Nakakunot ang noo na sabi ni Rian.

" Ih, sabi mo nga almost a week na. Okay na sistema ko, sis! Also si Eva naman kasi talaga unang nagyaya. Miss na daw niya kasi yung mga gimmicks natin." Prince said, pursing his lips. Si Eva? Inom na inom na ba mga sisters ko? Awarding.

" I think what you meant to say is that miss niyo nang uminom at maghanap ng boys. Nakakaloka kayo, may pasok tayo bukas, aba. Ano, papasok tayong may hangover? Galing niyo."

Prince just chuckled. " Seriously, nahahawa ka na ata kay Sir Nick. Medyo perfect mo na yung deadpanned look niya, sa totoo lang, hahaha."

" 'Wag mo kong iniissue ngayon, Prince ah. Kutos ka sa'kin."

" Ayan! Ganiyan beh, kuhang-kuha mo, hahaha!"

" Kuhang-kuha mo din inis ko accla." Rian just rolled his eyes and shook her head.

" Sorry naman. Pero sumama ka na kasi sa amin mamaya. Para mas masaya. Saka para di ka na namin kulitin. Pupuntahan ka din dito ni Mother Eva kapag nalaman niyang di ka sasama. Then malay mo, mamaya mo pala mae-encounter yung first na magiging dyowa mo, di ba? Sayang opportunity, Sis! Hahaha."

" Pag-isipan ko. Pero hindi ako sa bar maghahanap ng dyowa if ever. Please lang, hahaha!" Rian answered.

" Sus, napaka-conservative naman nito, hahaha! Pag-isipan mo 'yan ah. Ipapasundo talaga kita kay Eva mamaya pag di ka sumama. Bye muna~"

" Oo na, oo na dyusko naman. Bye, sis." Rian rolled his eyes. Kinuha niya yung phone niya para sana textan  si Eva about sa pagpunta ni Prince sa desk niya, kaso bigla niyang narealize yung date. Shit, bukas na pala. Rian thought. With that in mind, tinawag niya si Prince na hindi pa nakakalayo.

" Oh bakit?"

" Sama na ako magbar sa inyo. Para makapag-unwind naman." Pagdadahilan ni Rian. Liar. Gusto mo lang makalimot at madistract.

" Yes! Ang bilis ah. See you later, sis!" Prince said then walked again towards his own desk. Fuck. It seems like today and the next few days would not be great for me. I just hope that no one would notice that something's bothering me. I don't want to burden them. Rian thought to himself while watching Prince walk away.

Magpapakabusy na lang ako. Lilipas din ito.

   " That was one boring meeting, huh?" Nick said to Rian as he observe him yawn again. Kababalik lang nila sa office ni Nick mula sa meeting with some staffs para sa ipa-publish na latest issue ng magazine nila.

" Sorry, sir. Pagod lang ako siguro." Something's not right. Nick thought as he looks at Rian. He's been observing him since this morning and he can see the solemn look on his face.
