The Messenger's Haven (gxg)

Chapter 1

Lauren

"The meeting with the board will about to start at 10 minutes." my Secretary spoke at the intercom.

My attention was snapped out as I heard that annoying voice on this shitty machine. This loaded paperworks in front of me was starting to get me bored, although I haven't much started a half of it. Flicking through some pages, I can't seem to focus on what I'm doing. The impatient tapping of my pen is an obvious sign of my boredom.

I managed to massage the back of my neck as I lean my back on the chair. Resting my head on the headrest, I reached for my phone on the table to look if I have some important messages.

3 unread messages.

Unknown number: Call me tonight, sexy :)

Presley: Hey Ms. Pretty. You left your necklace on my apartment. Come over.

Oh shit. Kinapa ko ang leeg ko only to find na wala pala akong suot na necklace. Okay.

Wyatt: Good day, Ms. Morgado. The client wants to meet up with you today.

And out of the three messages I received, I only managed to reply one.

I'll be on my way. I typed and finally sent it to Wyatt.

I immediately pressed the intercom button and started to speak.

"Ivanna, come inside." I said flatly as I started to pack up my things.

Wala pang 1 minute ay pumasok na yung secretary ko na may dalang notepad.

"Reschedule the meeting." sabi ko sa kanya without looking at her. I stood up and slid my phone on my pocket.

"But Ms. Morgado, importante po yung meeting niyo with the board." the young girl reasoned, her gaze was on the floor. She looks terrified.

"Mas importante pa sa client ko?" I said sternly, giving her my most killer stare. Both hands on the side and one eyebrow on quirk.

She pressed her lips together, this time she lift her gaze to look at me. Nagkasalubong ang tingin namin and by that she looked away sa takot na baka mamatay siya sa mga tingin ko. "O..okay Ms. Morgado. I'll c..cancel the meeting right away." she stammered.

"Good. You can go back outside." I said, changing my features from blank face to my bitchy face.

She just nodded and walked out immediately from my office.

I arrived at the hotel at exactly 10:00am. I walked in and saw Wyatt waving at me, I approached her immediately.

"Good Morning, Ms. Morg--"

"Where's Mr. Gnovizch?" I cut her off rudely not wanting to hear her remarks.

She scratched her neck in embarrassment. "Uhm, Mr. Gnovizch can't make it today due to some important matters." she managed to say.

I looked at her sternly while lifting my eyebrow suggestively.

"B-but Mr. Sanz is here for Mr. Gnovizch's behalf." she said nervously.

"Will you inform me if there's a changes next time?" kunot noo kong sabi.

She just nodded her head. "S-sorry Miss President."

"Now where is Mr. Sanz?" I said, ignoring her apology.

"He is over here." she said guiding me inside the lobby.

Two weeks ago, we closed a deal with the President of Germany; President Dimitri Danrev about his upcoming campaign here in the Philippines. His campaign about encouraging the other nations to help the street children, orphanages and charities on some countries like Philippines, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, etc. And he chose our hotel resto to be the co-organizer of the event. All of our programs will be aired on national television. I don't want to be soft but I do appreciate their intentions on the campaign. Helping the homeless children and making them happy in a simple way makes a big difference. Alam ko ang nararamdaman ng mga batang iyon.
