Arrival - NAIA International Airport

“Sir, she has landed, i don't know how long will it take her to wait for her luggage” Marj, the secretary of Mr. Benjamin Rosales informed her boss via phone

“Alright Marj, thank you. Papunta na rin ako sa EDSA Shang. I'll just see you there” Benji said then hangs up.  He closed the folder of the document tha he was reviewing and readied himself to go to EDSA Shangrila where he will be meeting an important client.  

At an early age, the young bachelor Benjamin Rosales is the sole heir of one of the country’s department store.  Since his father, Gabriel Rosales handed him the overseeing of their grocery store, Benji dedicated all of his time in making their business as big as how big his father have envisioned it to be.

After few years of handling it, the business grows from a grocery store to one of the biggest department stores in the country. And with his hardwork and perseverance he was able to establish himself his own holding company business, the Rosales Holding Company.

Sunshine took a deep breath before she continue walking towards the exit gate of the airport, it has been six years since she left the country to save their business from bankruptcy because of her mother’s illness, but eventualy died after one year of treatment. 

She saw a huge banner where her name was written.  “This is it Sunshine, no backing out.  Do this for your Tatay Teddy” she said to herself while walking towards the lady which she thinks of the same age as hers holding the banner

“Good evening Ma’am Sunshine, my name is Marj.  I am here to pick you up” Marj said

“Good evening Marj, maraming salamat sa pagsundo” she formally replied

“Tawagan ko lang yung driver para hindi na tayo pumunta sa parking” Marj said and did not wait for Sunshine to reply, she quickly took out her phone and informed the driver that they are on their way out.

Marj and Sunshine did not wait long.  They are on their way out of the airport in a couple of minutes.  While on their way, Sunshine noticed that they did not turn left going to Ayala Avenue which she believes is the shortest way going to her condo unit in Makati Avenue.

“Why did you not take the Ayala Avenue route?  That is the shortest route going to the place where I am supposed to stay.” Sunshine asked

“Didn’t your agent tell you that we are meeting Mr. Rosales tonight?  We are on our way to EDSA Shangrila for your dinner with sir Benji” Marj replied

“I was informed that I will be meeting Mr. Rosales, but Beverly did not tell me that it will be tonight” Sunshine objected   

“Ma’am we send to Ms. Beverly your itinerary for the next four weeks” Marj replied

“So this is how inconsiderate your company is, do you have any idea how tiring it is to travel fifteen hours straight?” Sunshine asked

“But Ma’am this meeting was confirmed by Ms. Beverly that’s why we push through with it. Medyo tight kasi yung one month for your training, then after a month ka pa makakabalik.  Please understand that your father gave us only six months for your training” Marj replied

“Bring me to my place now” Sunshine commanded

“But Ma’am please understand, Mr. Rosales is already waiting for you at Shangrila” Marj pleaded.

“No, you should be the one understand.  Ganito ba kayo talaga ka-insensitive?” Sunshine exclaimed

“Please give me a minute Ms. Obispo, tatawagan ko lang si Sir Benji” Marj said and quickly dialed Benji’s number
