Napulunok ng laway si Julia at hindi siya makagalaw sa pagkakatayo niya habang bukas-matang nagugulantang sa nakikita niya.
Nang naibagsak niya ang files na hawak, naalimpungatan sina Dawn at Richard. When Cabredo completely opened his eyes, he saw Julia but it was like nothing to him. Kinalabit niya si Dawn...
"Archangel, may magpapapirma yata."
"Hmm..." Dawn then slowly opened her eyes and looked at Richard. "Ano?"
"May magpapapirma?" Richard pointed at Julia... Then the situation finally sinks in in Dawn...
"What the f*ck!" she mumbled shocked. She stood and when she saw Julia about to ran away...
"Julia, come here."
The proxi secretary stopped and turned her direction facing Dawn.
"Come," she waved her to come closer and she slowly and nervously did.
"Alam kong tsismosa ka pero please this time, keep your mouth shut sa nakita mo. Anytime, I can fire you, alam mo 'yan."
Julia swallowed a lump on her throat and nodded.
"Nothing happened in here, okay? Nabugbog lang kagabi," she gestured at Richard, but Julia widened her eyes more.
'Nabugbog? Iba yata ang dating nun,' Dawn thought.
"I am being literal here Pedrosa (last name of Julia), hindi ako ang bumugbog sa kanya, yung lasing," the boss said defensively.
"Now, when you get outta here, act like you didn't see anything and zip your mouth so you will keep your job at para hindi mo ma-miss si Yani. I know what's going on between the two of you...." She cleared her throat and crossed her arms... "Are we clear?"
Julia nodded saying, "Yes Ma'am."
"You can go," Dawn said with her one eyebrow up and Julia left.
Meanwhile, Richard was just so surprised at Dawn's treatment to her staff. Umupo siya and he started to wear his shoes, "Ano yun?"
"Anong ano yun?" Dawn turned to Richard still with her arms crossed.
"Ganyan ka na ba talaga kasama? Eh pinagbantaan mo yung tao."
"I am just saving our name."
"Saving OUR name o saving YOUR name?" he said while buttoning up his shirt.
"OUR, okay?" Dawn insisted.
"Sus, masyado kang defensive eh wala namang nangyari. Anyway, I don't want to make this argument any longer. I need to go," he was about to stand when...
"Teka, teka, saan ka dadaan?" Dawn held his shirt stopping him.
"Sa pinto, obvious ba?"
"No. Huwag diyan. Kaya ko nga pinapatahimik si Julia para hindi malaman ng ibang staffs ko tapos diyan ka dadaan?"
"Saan naman ako dadaan?"
"May hagdanan sa bintana."
"Ano? Diyan mo ako padadaanin?" gulat na tanong ni Richard sabay turo sa bintana. "Are you kidding me?"
"I am serious."
Richard then walked to the window and he peeked out seeing rusty stairs.
"Hindi ako bababa dito," panlilisik ni Richard kay Dawn.
"Huh?"
"Ikaw muna ang bumaba, tingnan natin kung kakayanin mo."
"Hello? Naka skirt ako."
