"I didn't expect na ganito kabilis ang pag-aayos para sa mga kailangan na project na ito." Bigla kong natikom ang bibig ko matapos masabi iyon ng malakas.

I heard Ron cleared his throat bago nagsalita ulit "For starters, you have to present these legal documents bago magsimula sa project. As you can see, may biglaang business trip si Mr. Coyiuto sa Germany kaya hindi na niya kayo personally ma instruct sa gusto niyang mangyari pero nandito naman lahat sa envelope yung mga notes niya na dapat sundin."

We'll be traveling to Sitio San Miguel, twelve hour-drive from Manila and take note, today ang alis namin. Hindi na nga ako nakapagpaalam ng maayos kay Keysha, I also just instructed Yaya to prepare my things for me saka hinatid dito sa office.

Last meeting ko lang din nalaman na si Cloud mismo ang hahawak ng project doon. He didn't assign other engineer. Narinig ko sa employee niya na ganun daw talaga siya lalo kung malaking project ang hawak.

We will be using two company vans. One galing sa amin and other galing sa company nila Cloud. I have one engineer and one intern with me. I left Alisha para mag asikaso ng mga bagay bagay habang wala ako. I can't bring everyone with me.

Cloud has two staffs with him and it seems that he has one intern as well. After settling everything, we decided to head to our destination habang maaga pa.

I'm not so sure it will go well too just like the last time we had our meeting. Robb and Ron were present at that time and other staff members as well kaya wala namang naging issue, but this time, I'll be working one on one with him na for real.

"Madam may problema po." Salubong sa akin ng driver namin.

"What? Hindi pa tayo nakakaalis, problema na agad? Tanong ko.

"Yung sasakyan Madam, ayaw po mag start, kanina pa po pinapaandar pero ayaw talaga!"

"Isa lang ba ang sasakyan ng company natin?" Medyo naiirita kong tanong.

"Madam yung available van po natin mamaya pa babalik dito sa opisina, yung isa naman pong reserved sana, naman casa ngayon."

"I don't know what to say. Pati ba naman ito, ako pa mag iisip ng paraan para magka sasakyan tayo?" I reached for phone and dialed Alisha's number, the same time I saw Cloud walking to our direction.

"What happened?" Tanong niya sa driver with a flat tone.

"Sir, nasiraan po ng sasakyan eh, saka mamaya pa po darating yung pwedeng i-byahe tapos po-"

"We don't have time. Sumakay na kayo sa sasakyan namin." He cut him in saka siya tumalikod agad. I was about to object pero tinulak na ako ni Ron palakad doon sa sasakyan nila.

"Madam, Hello?" I can still hear Alisha's voice on the other line, Ron ended it too.

It was a 12-seater escapade van.

Apparently, the two other staffs that Cloud brought were junior engineers too. They are with him for the hands on training. I think he is being generous, with his title and level, receiving a direct supervision from him is really big thing.

Our project target deadline is one month.

To run down the list of people we have, Cloud got three with him. Engr. Sef Fernandez, Engr. Anthony Quinto and his intern, Chelsey Mejilla.

I assigned Engr. Ermalain Mutya from our end and I brought Khim too. She's a promising intern, she's also here to attend my needs, just like what Alisha does in the office.

It's a 12 seater escapade van but the space is just right for us. I didn't expect that our luggages will eat most of space inside.

Khim is sitting in front, others have their own places too. Ang available na lang ay yung nasa gitna. I decided to take the space behind the driver, I was fixing my self when I saw Cloud went inside the van too. Engr. Sef who was supposed to sit beside me, moved kaya naman si Cloud and nag take ng space na iyon.
