"Nandito na po tayo, ma'am, sir." Si Mang Rene. Siya ang driver namin ngayon ni Kim papunta sa MEC. I turned to my right para gisingin sana si Kim, assuming she took a nap too. Nakaidlip kasi ako nang manahimik siya sa pangungulit sa akin, I was surprised to see her ready and very enthusiastic.

"Tara? Lez do this!" she giggled. I smiled to her then we both got out of the car and walked our way to the lobby of the building. MEC's building is an impressive sight. Palagi akong napapatingin sa mataas na kulay kremang ceiling nito tuwing ako'y nandoon. Animo'y alon ang mga detalyeng kurbang linya ng kisame. Isang tingin ay alam mo nang mamahalin iyon. You'll wonder how much it cost and how long it took for its construction. The lines all meet in the center where a beautiful large crystal ornament hangs. It's a round beaded chandelier na punong puno ng Swarovski crystals. Kapag ninakaw mo iyon, milyonaryo ka na. Buhatin mo nga lang muna kung kaya mo. I chuckled at that thought.

"Lio! Kim!" Sabay kaming napatingin sa tumawag sa amin. A familiar tall guy is standing in front of one of the building's elevators. He's wearing a black suit ngunit ang sapatos niya ay sumisigaw na rosas ang kulay. He always dresses like this, proud kasi siya sa sexuality niya. He's been campy and loud eversince.

"Well, well...if it isn't my favourite Sales people." Patuyang sinabi ni Ricci. He is Sir Osmond's executive assistant. Ani sir Osmond, kung hindi lang daw efficient itong is Ricci, baka daw nai-papako na niya ito sa krus. I wouldn't blame Sir Osmond, this one's highly loud and curious tho when it comes to work, he is super effective.

"Well, well...if it isn't our favourite secretary. Ansabe ng pink shoes mo?" Kim's counter sarcasm. Ganyan sila palagi. Kulang ang isang oras sa mga banters nila. Ricci made a face.

"Hi Lio! You look so damn fine. Kung hindi ko lang alam na bottom ka..." Ricci said, turning his gaze to me and winked. I rolled my eyes at that. "Hello to you too, Ricci." I smiled.

"Sir Osmond is waiting for you. Please follow me."

After registering, we all went to the elevator para maihatid kami sa tamang floor. "Ganda, anong update sa'yo bukod sa flat chested ka pa rin?" Ricci was all smiles when he said that, obviously wanting to irritate Kim on purpose. Kim eyed him and said "Eto, babae pa din." I chortled. Talo na si Ricci. We all laughed.

Tumunog ang elevator hudyat na nasa tamang floor na kami. We all made our way to Sir Osmond's office. Ricci walked proudly, of course, teritoryo niya kasi ito. After a few greetings and introductions, we started the meeting. Thankfully, it was not a long one. Review na lang kasi ito ng proposal. Si Kim ang nakipag-usap mostly. I am very proud of her improvements. Bukod sa charming, she's sensible kapag seryoso. Mas madali ang trabaho ko kapag kasama ko siya. Actually, she does all the negotiations, ako ang gumagawa ng minutes.

"So, congratulations. You got the project. I'm very happy about your proposal. I still have a meeting to go to so mauuna na ako. Send my regards to Annie. Tell her to stop consuming too much caffeine. " Ani Sir Osmond, referring to our company's CEO.

"I will Sir. Thank you po." I told him before he speeds off again. Palagi kasi itong nagmamadali.

"And oh by the way, I have a favor to ask of you two. I hope you don't mind, Lio, Kim." Sir Osmond said hopefully, his expression tells me that he won't take no for an answer.

"Of course, Sir. You just said yes to our proposal, kaya okay lang po." Kim laughed.

At this point, I'd say yes to all his favors. He gave us another eighty-million project!
