Stars&Promises: (The Special One)

Chapter 54

"Yes, we'll see... Yeah by tomorrow? Ok. Settled na."

Alyssa's answered at the phone, pinapaikot-ikot pa niya ang swivel chair habang ang coat niya ay nakapatong lang sa balikat niya, kabilaan ang paperworks na nasa table niya.

Halos sa opisina na siya tumira dahil sa sobrang daming ginagawa.

Suddenly, she hears three knocked outside, she faced the door to see who's that.

Jennica stepped inside and she raised a white folder, Alyssa raised her right hand as a sign of 'wait'

After the phone call, tinawag na niya ito kaya naman lumapit ito at kinuha ang bakanteng upuan.

"What is it?, Jennica?"
She calmly asked while checking the papers on her table.

"President, I just want to remind you that you'll have a meeting mamayang 4:00 PM with the new clients"

Alyssa looked at her,

"Gosh, I forgot. Saan pala?"

Jennica scans the folder again.

"At the third floor"

Alyssa just nodded, tumayo naman si Jennica para lumabas pero muli siyang tinawag nito

"Wait,. Can you do me a favor? Can you order a coffee for me?"

Ngumiti naman si Jennica.

"Of course, President"

"Hays, stop calling me president, Alyssa na lang, I have beautiful name kaya"
Sabi ni Ly habang nakangiti.

"Sure po,"

Tumango siya ulit samantalang lumabas naman na ang kanyang sekretarya para kumuha ng coffee.

Suddenly, her phone rings again.

She didn't look at the caller name.

"Hello?"

[ I TOLD YOU TO COME HERE! WHERE ARE YOU?!]
mabilis na nailayo niya ang cellphone niya sa kanyang tenga dahil sa lakas ng boses ng tumatawag, guess who is that?

You've guessed it right, it's Ella.

"Can you please? Lower your voice? Kailan mo sinabi na pumunta ako jan?"

[OH MY GOSH, DON'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T CHECK YOUR PHONE?]

Bahagyang ibinaba ni Alysaa ang phone para tignan kung nagtext nga ba si Ella, at meron nga pero hindi niya ito napansin dahil sa may kausap siya kanina.

"Sorry, I didn't notice, besh. Hindi ako makakapunta ok?"

[WHAT THE FVCK?! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT BESH, YOU should go here DITO SA COFFEE now or else, FRIENDSHIP OVER NA TAYO]

sasagot pa sana si Ly pero binaba na ni Ella ang phone and now she doesn't know what she's going to do. She's stuck between 'friendship' and work.

Ella seems serious about what she just have said, and Alyssa felt a lit bit nervous about that. It seems important.

Kahit na tambak ang work niya ay tumayo siya para puntahan ang kumag niyang best friend.

Tinanggal niya ang coat na nasa balikat niya so ang suot niya na lang ay ang white long sleeves at black pants naman sa ibaba.

Kinuha niya ang susi ng kotse niya at akmang lalabas na sana ng makasalubong niya ang kaniyang secretary na may dalang kape.

"President? Mamaya pa po yung meeting niyo ah?"
Nagtatakang tanong ni Jennica.
