"Excuse me sir, but Ms. Gutierrez is here to see you."
"What did you say?"
"Ms. Samantha is here asking for a meeting with you, sir."
"Let her come inside! Now!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Finally! Our problems will be solved!" he said to his other visitor.
Last night when he was about to sleep, he received a text message from an unregistered number.
"I'll give you what you want. Tomorrow, ten am, your office," said the message.
At first, he couldn't figure out what it meant. Then he bolted out from lying on the bed, causing his wife to stir from her sleep.
"Ano ba?! Did something happen to you?" she groaned.
"Nothing, Go back to sleep," he told her.
He tried calling the number but he was answered with a busy tone.
He immediately put his slipper on and went out of their bedroom and straight to the library.
There, he dialed his son's number.
It took five rings before he was answered.
"Fuck, what?!"
"Is that how you answer your father now?"
"Sorry, dad. I'm just, I'm...."
"Honey, faster!" he heard someone moaning at the background.
"Ssshh, shut up!" he heard him scolding his bed partner.
"She's not your wife, is she?"
"Yeah, so what? Why the call anyway?"
"I think our prayer is answered."
"What do you mean?"
"Samantha."
"What about her?"
"I received a message. I think it was her who sent it."
"Why, what did the message say?"
"It said we'll have what we want by tomorrow at ten, in my office."
"Yes! Yes!"
"Yes, faster!"
"Eherm, are you still there?"
"Yes, dad. Sorry. Give me a minute."
This time, he was kept on hold for two minutes.
"Dad?" he heard him calling him afterwards.
"You're done?"
"Satisfied. And now I'm more satisfied with the good news. So, what's next? of course, you'll give me what you promised, okay? The Porsche, the mansion, the five hundred million to start my new business, you'll give all of that, right?"
"Tsk, tsk tsk. Already counting the chickens before they even hatched?"
"C'mon, you promised!"
"I will, son. I will. So be sure you're in my office at ten, okay?"
"Yes, dad!"
"Go back and fuck your mistress up!" he said as he bidded goodbye to him.
He himself, already started counting the trips he'll give to his wife Diana, plus the shopping money to keep her quiet and occupied. And of course, the big house he's planning to buy for his mistress.
