"Another day in the office" Aya says as she places her phone on the table and pose for a selfie.
Through the office glass wall Mave sees Aya posing cutely and being attractive. "Cute" she says smiling. "Hmmmm back at you insan" Cal says seeing Mave smile and seeing at what she's looking at. "You've always had a thing for smart girls" Cal says as she flops down the couch. "Stop whatever your thinking" Mave says with her serious tone. "I'm just saying pasok siya sa mga type mo" Cal says. "I would never date my employee" Mave says. "If you say so, mabusog ka sana sa mga salita mo" Cal says smirking.
"Ms. Maverick may utos po kayo?" Aya asks, it's now lunch time and Cal has left 3hrs earlier. "Wala, you can have your lunch na" Mave says drowning in the pile of paperwork. "Hindi po kayo mag lunch?" Aya asks. "Later." Mave says still busy. Aya worries as she hasn't seen Mave eat today.
"1 Set B meal and 1 Set D meal please" Aya orders at the café across their office. "Hi" a man's voice behind Aya can be heard. "Oh Hello po Mr. Guillermo" Aya greets him in return. "Please just call me Jerome" he says offering his hand. "Uhm nice to see you again, Jerome" Aya says shaking his hand. "Ma'am please wait for your order at the table" the cashier instructs Aya. "Ok thanks you" Aya says. "Can I join you while we both wait for our orders?" Jerome asks. "Of course" Aya says as they sit.
"Oo na oo na bibilan ka na namin" Jules says while on the phone with Mave. "Hindi ba si Ate Aya yun" Shai says as they enter the café. "Ay oo nga" Soph says "Sino yung kasama?" Cal curiously asks. "Hi Ate Aya!" Shai shouts across the shop as they approach her. "Uy Jerome" Cal says. "Good afternoon po mga Ma'am" Aya says as she greets them with a smile. "Aya tropa tropa lang tayo si Maverick lang naman boss mo" Soph says. "Bakit kayo andito?" Jerome asks. "Hala Hindi pwedeng bumili ng food?" Shai says sarcasticly. "Ikaw nga naliligaw, layo nito sa inyo ah" Cal says with a bit of attitude. "I'm just buying food din, kayo?" Jerome again asks. "Ah si Mavey nagpapabili lunch, ano ba gusto mo Mave?" Jules as Mave on the phone. "Ha? Sure ka?" Jules says with furrowed eyebrows. "Bakit daw?" Soph asks. "Hindi na daw pala siya gutom" Jules says. "Ehh??" Shai says "Sayang naman yung 100 steps papunta dito, kapagod din ah" Shai adds. "Miss Aya order for 2" the server announces. "Order for 2?" Cal asks "Sabay kayo mag lunch?" Soph asks. Before Aya could answer... "Hala binabaan ako ng call" Jules says loudly irritated with Mavey's behavior.
"Nag iinit na naman ang ulo" Cal says as she massages Mave's shoulder. "Guys patulong naman mag hanap oh" Jules says. "Ano na naman nawala mo unggoy" Soph says. "Ah hinahanap ko lang ANGAS nung isa dyan" Jules says with intonation. "You guys are bullies" Shai says, "Wala naman talaga angas yan eh" Shai adds. "Ang tanong ng taong bayan... ano ba kasi nararamdaman mo" Cal says in a joking then serious tone as she sits in front of Mave. Mave sighs, "I don't know". "Yun lang" Soph says.
After all the teasing the 4 friends leave, Mave stayed in her office still drowning with work. When someone knocks... "Mave..." Aya calls out. Seeing Mave sleeping on her table. "Hays nagpaka pagod na naman" she says as she enters the office and cleans Maverick's table. "You don't have to do that" Mave says in her raspy voice. "Baka kasi malunod ka na sa files mo" Aya says continuing what she's doing. "I'm fine, you probably have a lot to do... or people to see" Mave says as she sits properly and fixes herself. "Wala naman, hindi ka naman nag uutos eh" Aya says innocently. "Kumain ka na?" Aya faces her with a smile. "No but I'm fine" Mave says not looking at her. "Huh? Akala ko sabi ni Jules busog ka" Aya says with furrowed eyebrows. "Nabusog ata sa sariling salita" Mave whispers. "Ano yun?" Aya approaches. "Wala, pwede ka na lumabas" Mave says as she starts working again. "Wait lang..." Aya leaves then comes back with a paper bag. "Oh I bought you lunch kanina actually, hindi ko na sana iaabot kasi busog ka na kamo" Aya says offering her the paper bag. Mave looks up and meets Aya's eyes, "Crush mo ba ko?" Mave asks in a serious tone. "Luh nag offer lang ng lunch eh" Aya says with her face red flustered. "Ayaw mo edi wag" as Aya was about to take back the bag and leave, Mave stands and holds her arm. "I'm just kidding" Mave says. "Stay for a while" Mave pleads.
