Girl of Never : Days to Love (Chat MD Series #4)

Day 05 : Eye to eye

Eye to eye
-----

I arrived on time for the orientation. Dalawa lang kami na iginiya ng admin personnel na si Aurora sa conference room.

Benjamin Raymundo is a science engineer on his early thirties. He's been on research right after his several masterals. Straight from the US. Gaya ko.

Sandali lang kaming kinausap tungkol sa ongoing stem cell research ni Dr. Lastimosa. Mostly ay diniscuss ang Stanford counterpart na nagpi-finance under Dr. Eisen Hughes. Our contract was discussed and signed. Pagkatapos, inihatid kami sa Facility 2D kung nasaan ang office at laboratory ng head researcher.

The door that was opened lead to a large floor full of long, shiny desks. Nagtaas ng mukha sa amin ang apat na tao-tatlong babae at isang lalaki. Sa farthest right ng palapag, may malaking silid na glass-walled. Sa loob niyon ay may taong tutok sa pagbabasa ng makapal na libro.

I'm sure he is that Harry.

I took a deep breath. I'm partly excited to meet the man I've been hearing about from Neah to Auntie Faith. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about the man who's sending emails.

Is he a psychopath? Is he depressed? Is he obsessed? Or is he just an idiot?

Aurora buzzed the door three times bago kami marinig ng nasa loob.

Pagbukas ng pinto, mabilis na nagtama ang mata namin ni Dr. Lastimosa.

He looked shocked. Like, really. I thought he stopped breathing while looking at me. The blood drained from his face as if he was looking at a ghost.

Walang nakagalaw sa amin o nakapagtanong kung ano ang problema niya.

Pagkurap niya, nangunot ang noo niya sa'kin. Dumilim din ang mata.

It felt like I did something wrong. But what the heck did I do? Nakatayo lang ako.

Tumikhim ang admin personnel para kunin ang atensyon niya.

"Ms. Arcenas, Mr. Raymundo, this is Dr. Harry Lastimosa, the head of Project Stem-CHD," intro ni Aurora. "Dr. Lastimosa, this is Jianna Arcenas and Benjamin Raymundo. New addition to your staff."

Saglit lang na sumulyap si Harry kay Ben bago bumalik sa'kin ang mata niya.

God, his eyes are piercing. Malinaw ko na ngayong nakikita ang nasulyapan ko lang no'ng Sabado.

He has beautiful features. Makapal ang kilay na nagsasalubong ngayon. Chinito pero mapungay ang mata. Defined ang panga pero hindi square. Matangos ang ilong. And his lips... now, those are lips for kissing-pink and cupid-bowed. His hair was a little messy, he had stubbles on his chin, and the first three button of his cream-colored shirt was opened. I doubt na alam niya. Pati nunal niya sa dibdib, nasilip ko na.

He doesn't radiate of pure male testosterone but of pure authority. We all know who's the most important person in the room.

I looked away. Am I right in the head? Why am I checking him out?

But oh, I wanted to check the broad of his chest, his arms, his waist, his back, and the length of his legs. I'm sure it won't disappoint. He is a nice male specie. I wonder about his genetics. Kanino kaya siya mas nag-inherit? Sa mother niya o sa father niya?

Namalayan ko na lang na nagpapaalam na si Aurora. Lumabas siya kasama si Ben. Naiwan ako sa kwarto.

Oh no. I spaced out?

Naupo si Harry sa swivel chair niya at nagusot ang mukha sa'kin.

"I told you to sit," sabi niya.
