Chapter 41.
-His POV-
It has been a week since we came back from Sorsogon. Things, I can say, are usual. We're still working for the resort project for Mr. Torres and I'm currently finishing my plates for the revision of my planned design that I will present next week. I have been busy working overtime and I even bring the blue print at home. I barely sleep now but when I could get to meet Nadine every single day, it feels like these are all worth it. Everything's worth it, when I'm with her.
But everything is off. Off, in a way that something's changed. Nadine has changed ever since we came back here in Manila. No, even before that. It started after the talk we had in the rest house. She was avoiding me. She kept denying it but I knew her. She acts that way when we argue before. I just can't seem to know if I did something wrong or she is bothered by something. It's so frustrating that I can't approach her like I used to. It feels like I'm back in college when I was always chasing her and she would keep ignoring me.
"James, aren't you going to sleep again? Come on it's already twelve thirty in the morning and you still keep working. Isn't it too much? You might get sick." Lindsay said and stood at my back checking the scattered stuffs in my study table.
I turned to look at her. "Between the two of us, you are the one who must sleep. Isn't it tomorrow or should I say later, is your preliminary exams?"
She pouted her lips and told, "Yea, I just finished studying just now. I came here to check you out and just like this Monday and up until today, you're working really overtime."
I stood up and guide her way outside my room. "Linds, this is really in a rush. You must sleep now and good luck for tomorrow - later, I mean."
I closed the door afterwards and got back with my work until I lost my track and slept.
I woke up with the ringing of my phone. It was one of the associate architects of my team. He called about our lunch meeting with the engineer, who happened to be Nadine, Mon.
I hurriedly cleaned up my mess in the room and fix all the papers, the blue print I will bring. The meeting is at twelve noon and it is now eleven thirty. I didn't know what time I slept this morning but I'm in a real hurry now.
I arrived there to find out that they are all inside. I even bumped the waiter making my way inside.
"What's with the rush, architect?" One engineer told but I ignored it. My eyes are locked with Nadine. She was holding some folders but my eyes are looking straight into hers.
"Uh, James... you can take your seat now." She said as she looked away from me.
We all took our lunch and discuss the matter on hand afterwards. We're gonna fly again to Sorsogon within the weekend to present our final plan and start the construction.
Nadine was about go out of the restaurant when I approached her. "Nadine, can we talk?"
