Breathless (Book 1&2)

Harder to Breathe #9

Harder to Breathe #9
Noreen

I know Cloud is aware na iniiwasan ko siya, well bakit di ko naman gagawin? He j-just, he just deliberately accused me of staring at him kanina!

It was around five in the afternoon when Cloud called my team para sabihing okay na ang temfacil and we can arrange our things. Engr. Mutya and Khim immediately went there para ayusin at i set up ang office.

We will share office with the DR Builders. They provided space din for workers' area. Things are going smoothly, hindi nagtagal dumilim na rin.

Kagawad Mon prepared foods for us. Nakita ko kung paano nila patayin yung ilang alagang manok para ihain ngayong gabi. They even cooked it with a super big wok.

"Malinamnam yan Madam, native kasi." Alok niya sa akin ng putaheng niluto "Tinolang native na manok. Yung papaya matamis yan dahil bagong pitas lang din."

Pasimple akong tumingin kay Cloud. He is eating but obviously he doesn't enjoy his food.

Until now you still have that bad habit of yours. What a picky eater!

Nagpasalamat ako sa kanilang lahat. Malaking tulong ang ginagawa nilang pag aasikaso sa amin, lahat sila nakikisalo pero mayroong isang pamilya ang hindi, yun ang pamilya ni Tatay Victorio. Nahuli ko pa ngang nakatingin yung dalagita niyang apo.

I called her pero agad din siyang pumasok sa loob ng bahay nila. Kagawad tapped my shoulder and shook his head, okay, I get it. You can't really please every body.

Matapos kumain ang lahat, I took the opportunity to talk to everyone.

"Tomorrow, we will officially start our project. I hope everyone is in their best condition. Let's have a good working relationship from now on."

I was reviewing the proposal for tomorrow. I need to be ready, this island is the main reason why I am here after-all.

Hermana Menor. This beautiful island is not yet crowded, it is untouched, the main reason why it piqued Robb's interest.

You can find here a long stretch of powdery white sand fringe with coconut trees and crystal clear blue waters. It is an ideal place for swimming, sun bathing, snorkeling and some outdoor activities.

This town has actually two precious islands.

Hermana Menor and Hermana Mayor.

Hermana Mayor is already owned by the Martinez and Sy but they never opened it to the public.

My proposal contains mainly the development of the island. Casino. Golf course and more.

"Madam, kayo na po maliligo. Wala na pong gumagamit." Khim said the moment she entered our kubo. She was still drying her hair with her towel.

I looked at my wrist watch, nine na pala.

I hurriedly went out and took a bath. Hindi na rin ako nagtagal. "Please wake me up early tomorrow, Khim."

"Yes, Madam. Good night po."

🖇

I woke up when someone tapped my cheek. I covered my face when I felt the sunlight on it.

"Hmm."
"Madam. Today ang groundbreaking ceremony di ba?"

"Hmm."
"Gising na po."

"Five minutes pa please."
"Madam baka ma late tayo."

I forced myself to wake up. Khim told me na okay na rin ang paligo ko. She handed me my toiletries and almost pushed me para lang lumabas ng kubo. Luckily among the kubos, our kubo is the nearest to the toilet.
