Mira's POV
"We have a wide grape plantation in La Union. Pero syempre, para sa wines namin 'yon. Since, this is only the products that are locally produced, mas mababa ang presyo compared sa mga import. It will be also the company's first time to produce products that are not for Japanese consumers. Although, we already have produced our own made Soju in Korea Branch, these liquors are the first ones to be produced for the Filipino consumers." ang sakit na ng panga ko kaka-explain.
"So you mean to say, it is more of a trial-and-error stage, isn't it?"
"Kaya nga first time diba?"
"How can you be so sure na hindi masasayang ang investment ko dito?"
"We will be responsible for the outcome. You have nothing to worry about, okay? It is either, you get your money back or babalik sayo pero may dagdag na. How about that?"
"Convincing, huh? Never heard about that before. Sigurado ka?"
"Oo. Kasi, I will be the one to pay you, kapag pumalpak 'to."
Sumandal siya sa swivel chair, "How can I be so sure that I can trust you."
"Hindi ako yung tipo ng tao na tumatakbo para maka-takas at lumayo."
"Really? Coming from you?"
Kahit yun lang ang sinabi niya, natamaan ako. Oo nga naman, ako 'tong nawala na lang nang parang bula, ako pa 'tong malakas ang loob na mag-sabi ng ganoon.
I sighed before answering him back, "You can trust me on this Patrick. You have my word."
Tumango naman siya sa sinabi ko, "Okay. But still, I won't be signing it."
"What? Akala ko ba okay na?"
"I won't let go that easily Miss Vega. And it's all about timing. The timing is still off for me."
"But it's not for me." kaagad kong sagot.
"It's not your sign whose needed in the contract anyway."
Napa-pikit na lang ako. Calm down, Mira. You know how to talksht but no here, okay?
"Tinawagan ko nga pala si Gab. Call daw sila mamaya. You?"
"I'm going. Magpapahinga lang muna ako."
"Okay. I still have a board-ring meeting for maybe about 2 hours?"
"Hope you survived."
"I'll make do. I suggest you text them your suite room, para sunduin ka nila mamaya."
"I will." kinuha ko na ang mga gamit ko at lumabas ng office ni Patrick.
Kaagad naman akong pumunta sa suite ko at nilabag sa may center table ang mga dala kong files. Nag-bihis muna ako ng maluwag na damit bago ko inihagis ang sarili ko sa kama bago umayos ng higa. I heavily sigh. Bwisit na Patrick 'yon. Akala ko pa naman, okay na, pipirma na siya, hindi pa pala. Paasa ang gag0. Kaya maraming napapa-iyak 'yon e. I wonder if he's still like that. Well, he's one the most respected bachelors in town, kaya malamang habulin siya lalo.
Hayst! Stop thinking non sense Mira. Mag-pahinga ka na!
Pabaling-baling at pa-palit ng palit ako ng pwesto pero hindi ako maka-tulog. Samantalang, napagod at inaantok na 'ko kanina habang nakikipag-usap kay Patrick. Argh! Dumapa ako while stretching out my right leg while hugging a pillow. That's my most comfortable position when sleeping. I stayed like that for a few moments but still, hindi pa rin ako maka-tulog. Inis akong bumangon. I maximized the AC knowing that such temperature can make me fall asleep. Kaya naman bumangon ako at naisipang lumabas na muna. Paantukin ko lang sarili ko. I wore a simple off-shoulder crop top paired with shorts. Kinuha ko lang ang phone at wallet ko saka lumabas ng suite.
