The Secretary and The CEO | Mikhaiah AU

The Cousin

"I thought naman kung sino na" Mave sighs as she realizes who it is. "Saan kayo galing parehas, ala una na ng umaga ah" Aya says as she approaches them. "Sorry Aya, may pinuntahan lang sa Baguio" Cal says with her tired eyes. "Don't worry I'll still be on time tomorrow sa office" Mave says as she enters the room. "Actually-" Aya says as she stops Mave from closing the door. "We'll have breakfast muna with your parents here, request ni Sir Arjo" Aya says smiling hard. "You can join them, I'll just wait for you sa office. I have a lot to finish" Mave says as she shuts the door at Aya's face.

"Asaan na naman si Maverick??" Mr. Laxamana says once again looking for his only daughter. "Bayaan mo na hon, maybe she just has a lot to do pa. You know bagong position and all" Mrs. Laxamana says as she calms her husband rubbing his hands. "Alam mo naman gusto lang niya maging proud ka" she adds.

"Good morning" Aya says as she enters the office. Mave doesn't throw her attention. "Your Dad was looking for you... again" Aya says sheepishly. Again Mave was focused on her laptop. "You should have breakfast with us tomorrow they're really great conversationalists." Aya says trying to start a conversation. "I've been their kid for 24 years, you think I haven't had a conversation with them" Mave asks in a serious tone. "Fine. At least have breakfast para may laman tiyan mo when you work." Aya snaps back leaving the room.

After Aya left, Mave felt bad for being sarcastic knowing she was only doing her job, and was worried at what she'll say to her Dad. "I should say sorry.... Just she won't say anything kay Dad." Mave says to herself. Mave was about to leave the room and go to Aya. "But what do I say..." Mave mumbles. Mave now walks back and forth in her office. Mave's landline rings. "Hello" Mave says. "Insan have you read my joint project proposal" Cal says on the other line. "I have, come over so we can talk about it" Mave replies. "I'll come over if you're sure that you'll sign it" Cal says laughing at the other end. Mave chuckles. "Sayang pamasahe ay" Cal adds. "Fine, but before I sign it do something for me" Mave says making a deal with her cousin.

"Hi Aya" Cal says as she approaches her table. "Good afternoon po Ms. Valencia, how can I help you po?" Aya says standing up. "Andyan ba si insan?" Cal says trying to see if Mave was inside the office. "Ah yes po, she's always in her office naman" Aya says. "Oh ok" Cal says. Cal places a coffee for Aya on her table. "I'll let myself in" Cal says as enters Mave's office. "Thank you po" Aya tries to say as Cal leaves.

"Since when did you start liking coffee" Cal asks as she enters Mave's office. "Wala ka na dun" Mave says not looking at her. "Oh" Cal says giving Mave her coffee. "Sign my papers na, kala mo hindi pamilya oh" Cal says sitting down in front of Mave. "Sayo na yung kape, I've signed the papers already." Mave says as she gives Cal the folder. "Ok naman na pala may pa bili bili ka pa ng coffee" Cal says taking the folder. " I brought you here kasi I have a few pointers with your proposal" Mave says in a serious tone now looking at Cal. "I'll hear you out" Cal says. "Since you want our companies to sponsor an e-sports team, why don't we just make our own one." Mave says with a smirk.
