Mon Miroir d'amour, My Mirror, My Love

Midnight in Paris

"Monsieur Edward! Monsieur Edward"! Patricia was calling out on him. Patricia thought " naku po saan ba nagpunta yung pogi na yun?, nandito na sila boss" as Patricia was to call out on his name again he was already on her backside.     " Pardon..." He was trying to read Patricia's name plate ... "Ms Patricia right? I heard you were calling out for me" Patricia smiled and said " Oui, Monsieur Edward, Madame and Monsieur Beaumont are waiting for you at the dinner table, please come to your table" Patricia's bubble thoughts " pati na din yung super feelingerang bruhang Olivia kasama nila hmmp".

Patricia had noticed that Edward's demeanour was a bit shaken "Monsieur Edward are you feeling alright? As if you saw a ghost?" Edward replied , " I am ok, it was just that there was this very large book at the end that I accidentally dropped and pinned my fingers when I tried to returned in on the shelf, but I am alright merci". Could you kindly go ahead I will need to go the gentleman's restroom, I will follow in a short while, thanks again".

Edward took out his phone and made a quick instruction to Caitlin, his executive assistant. " Caitlin, make sure that I will have that package before midnight, you do understand what I am asking you to do right? Edward in his authoritative tone, " I will not settle for tomorrow, I need to have that before 12". Caitlin replied " Yes boss done, deal and delivered before 12 midnight. Anything else boss?" Edward replied, " thanks Caitlin you are awesome and please give me a feedback as soon as possible, thanks again".

Caitlin put the phone down and screamed at the top her lungs "Mmmaaarrrccco!!! this is a job for superman, nakakaloka ang boss natin, konti na lang puede na akong tumulay sa alambre mula dito hanggang Eiffel tower!!!
Marco rushed at Caitlin's desk and jokingly said to Caitlin " ako kumain ng buhay na manok hahaha, positive lang tayo, ok ano ba yang inutos nya?"
Caitlin showed the photos that Edward sent to her phone and his instructions.
Marco gasped and said "SantmariamadredeDiyos!"

Back at Cafe Miroir
Hello Edward my darling, it has been awhile, did you miss me, coz I do" Olivia gave a light kiss on Edward's kiss that caught him by surprised. Being a gentleman he returned the kiss by kissing her on the cheeks instead " Hello Livvy, how are you too? Of course I miss the Beaumont family". Olivia is the second child and the only daughter of the Beaumont couple. She heads the editorial unit of their magazine.
Olivia obviously was not happy with his gesture. Edward then immediately approached Madame and Monsieur Beaumont. Edward said " hello po tita Maria" Edward gave her a kiss on her cheeks, "Bonjour tito Raffy, it has been awhile po" followed with a gentleman handshake. Monsieur Raphael noted " Edward you are now a man, you were just a boy the last time I saw you. And is that right your dad said you stepped down from your CFO position? Naku Iho, you are missing a lot of opportunities" Madame Maria responded "Raphael my darling, we are here to enjoy Edward's presence, pasensya ka na iho, tito Raffy worries for you, he worries to much" Edward said "that is alright tita and tito I do understand you are like second parents to me" Edward assured them.

Edward returned to Olivia's side and pulled the chair for her. Olivia smiled and said "thank you Eddy". Edward was taken aback and in his mind thought "no not that name Olivia please". Edward just smiled at her her looked out at the Cafe's door instead as if he was looking for someone. " So where is Frederick? Is he coming" Edward noticed the change in Monsieur Beaumont's mood who made a side remark "Frederick as a usual is late". Frederick on the other hand is the eldest son of the Beaumont couple. A happy go lucky person, he runs his own forwarding business and manages Cafe Miroir.
Maria then said to her husband "Mon cheri ne t'en fais pas, you worry too much, come let us have some wine".
Madame Beaumont called in for their server. Lucio was a bit busy at the other table and so Patricia approached their table instead. Edward noticed that it was indeed a very busy night at the cafe as all the tables were full. Despite the very cold weather tonight people in Paris still loves to dine out.
