Wala siyang idea kung bakit siya dinala ni Ingram sa kumpanya nito. Gustohin man niyang magtanong ay hindi na lang niya ginawa. Hinayaan nalang niyang isama siya nito sa loob.
Sumakay sila sa elevator ng walang imikan. Kasama nila ang secretary nitong si Ivan na pinakilala sa kanya kanina. Bumukas ang elevator sa 8th floor at lumabas sila. Hindi umiimik ang damuho sa tabi niya. He just guided her while his hand was in her waist. Alam niyang nagtataka na ang mga empleyado nito kung sino siya dahil pag apak pa lang niya kanina sa entrance ng building lahat nakatingin sa kanya. Oh well, malalaman din naman nila sa susunod.
Ivan was talking about something to Ingram when we reached the conference room. Nagtaka siya so when Ivan was about to open the door, she quickly interrupted it by facing Ingram.
"Why I'm here? The last time I checked, I'm a chef." She asked him, not minding Ivan.
He stared at her for a minute before answering.
"You'll know." He replied shortly.
She mentally rolled her eyes sa sagot na nakuha niya kay Ingram. Hindi na siya ulit nagtanong. Ivan got the cue and opened the door wide for her to see the people in the room.
Ingram guided her inside, not minding the people who were staring at them. Curious. Nang makarating sila sa harapan kung saan sila uupo. She guessed dahil may dalawang upuan na nandoon. Nagsalita ulit si Ivan. Inimporma ang mga nasa loob kung ano ano ang pag-uusap.
Nagsimula na ang meeting ng mga ito. Even though she can't relate to what they are talking about, surprisingly, she didn't get bored. In fact, she got interested. They're discussing and suggesting something to a project. Somehow, she can relate to that because in her previous job, she always wants the opinions and suggestions of her colleagues. She misses working.
Tahimik lang siya habang nakikinig sa mga taong nasa loob ng conference room. It's been 30 minutes since the meeting started when Suddenly, Ingram faced me.
"Are you bored?" He asked me in his low, dark, and dangerous voice.
I looked at him and said. "I'm fine. Just focus on the meeting. Don't mind me."
He didn't talk back. He face again the people in the front who are looking at them intently.
I didn't mind the stare. Hindi ko naman sila masisisi kung bakit ganyan sila makatingin. Did I mention that all of them here are men? At alam kung nagtataka din sila kung bakit may dalang babae si Ingram sa meeting. I know some of them already have an idea.
The meeting went on and was about to end when suddenly Ingram stood up. Nagulat siya sa ginawa nito pero di niya pinahalata. He grabbed her elbow gently guiding her to stand up. After that bigla itong nagsalita.
"Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make, but first, let me introduce you to Ayesha Faye Alcantara. Daughter of Mr. Emmanual Alcantara and Grand Daughter of Don Ignacio Alcantara."
I didn't know Ingram would introduce me to them. Hindi ako prepare. This brute. Kahit nag ngingingit ang kalooban niya she manage to greet the people inside.
"Nice meeting you all, gentlemen. "
Lahat sila bumati at nagpakilala. Sa dami nila hindi niya matandaan ang mga pangalan. Ang ibang naririto ay may kantadaan na pero ang iba ay alam niyang kasing edad lang ni Ingram. At napansin ko yung isang lalaking ngiting-ngiti lang at umiiling habang nakatingin kay Ingram.
"I know all of you are curious as to why Miss Ayesha is here." Patuloy ni Ingram.
"She is here because she will be working in my company." Walang gatol na anunsiyo ni Ingram.
