RHC Office

Benji are reviewing some documents but he knows that his mind is not at work at the moment.  It flies somewhere in South, a place where he, Sunshine and Jorge grew up.  His Dad did not allow him to travel to Quezon that day as they need to meet an important client that will give their business an exclusive distributorship of an international product.

This could have been a perfect time for Sunshine to learn how the dealing with clients should be properly done.  If only he remember  about this meeting, he could have insisted that Sunshine’s visit to Quezon be moved to another day.

“Anong lunch mo sir?” Marj asked while handling to Benji the documents that needs to be sign

“I’ll be fine Marj, don’t mind me” he unconsciously replied

“Hala ang layo ng sagot sa tanong ko.  Kung hindi mo sinabi ang pangalan ko malamang isipin ko na hindi ako ang kausap mo” Marj said but Benji just throw a blank stare at her.  “Sorry na” she apologized

“Why are you apologizing?” Benji coldly asked

“Hindi ko napilit ang secretary ni Sir Gabriel na hindi ka isama sa meeting nya with the lingerie company” Marj said

“Hindi mo talaga mapipilit yun, si Dad mismo ang gustong kasama ako dun” Benji replied.

“Hayaan mo na, pabalik na rin naman sya mamayang gabi” Marj said the makes Benji’s face light up a bit then suddenly went back to being gloomy.

“I don’t think she’ll be back later tonight, sa tagal nilang hindi nagkita ni Tito Teddy malamang dun na yun magpalipas ng gabi” Benji uttered and went back on reading the documents which he started thirty minutes ago though he is still in page 1.

“May point ka naman, sa sobrang miss ni Mr. Obispo kay Sunshine malamang dun na yun patulugin at bukas na lang nang umaga bumalik ng Manila tutal after lunch pa naman ang meeting mo with her. Naisip ko tuloy na okay na rin naman at least pareho sila nung Jorge na makakasama ang pamilya nila kahit overnight lang.  Ibigay mo na yun sa kanila, tutal matagal na rin syang hindi nakauwi ng Quezon” Marj said

“Jorge family already moved to Manila a long time ago, they sell all their properties in Quezon and settles in Manila.  Wala syang kamag-anak na tutuluyan sa Quezon, in case you wanted to know” Benji said

“So may chance pala na makitulog si Jorge sa bahay nila Sunshine.  Therefore may possibility na they’ll have coffee sa lanai under the moonlight and talk about things they miss about each other. Aww, that would be so sweet” Marj said teasing

“You may leave now Marj, tutal hindi ka naman nakakatulong” Benji commented

“Grabe ka naman sa akin sir, nagsasabi lang naman ako ng pwedeng mangyari kay Jorge at kay Sunshine habang nandito ka at nagtatrabaho.  Pustahan tayo overtime ka ngayon” Marj continue teasing.

“I said you may leave now Marjorie” Benji said but Marj is determined to talk about Sunshine and Jorge

“Ano ba ang itsura ng Jorge na yun? Bagay ba sila ni Sunshine?” Marj innocently asked

“Walang chemistry” Benji coldly replied then Marj suddenly laughs out loud.  “Anong nakakatawa Marjorie?” Benji irritably asked

“Ikaw! Kapag naiinis ka talaga, walang preno ang bibig mo eh, you are guarding your heart but not your tongue.  Marami akong pangkulay sa drawer ko, kukulayan ko na ba yang sinabi mo?” Marj said
