Everything About You

Chapter 57

"Text me when you're done with work, I'll fetch you." He said aa we arrived safely at the building of my office.

He made sure I have clothes to wear for work today, hindi ko alam kung paano sya nagkaron ng bagong damit and even undies kaninang umaga pag gising ko but maybe he ask someone for that.

He also insisted on driving me to work kahit na sobrang pinipilit ko sya na ihatid ako sa condo ko para makuha ang kotse at hindi na ako maging abala pa sa kanya.

Nakakunot ang noong bumaling ako sa kanya. "I don't have your number." I said.

He look at me seriously with his famous poker face.  "I saved it on your phone last night." Aniya at ako naman ay nagulat. He used my phone huh?

I nodded like a kid agreeing to her parent order and opened the door, para lumabas na.

But before I could click the car's handle he pulled me back inside and made me turn to him.

I look up to him, confuse and puzzled.

He lean in to me and gave me a smack on the lips before finally letting me go.

"Take care, I'll see you later girlfriend." He said and gave me one last smack on the lips again.

I was too stunned to answer kaya tinanguan ko lang sya at dire'diretso nang pumasok sa building. I heard his chuckled before I finally got in kaya naman nag-init ang pisngi ko lalo na ng ma-realize na kitang kita nya ang epekto nya sakin.

"Ma'am you have to go to the conference room. Its an emergency meeting po, early this morning ko lang po natanggap ang appointment." Sinalubong kaagad ako ni Mariel pagkakita nya sakin na lumabas ng elevator. She looked tensed and nervous though.

"Okay I will go there later after ten minutes." I answered without looking at her at dire'diretso din ang lakad papasok ng opisina.

"No ma'am your dad says I should bring you there imediately when you arrive here." She stops me from entering my office and looks at me with a nervous eyes.

Umirap ako kaagad at tinalikuran sya para tahakin ang daan patungo sa conference room.

Napahinto ako ng ma-realize ang sinabi nya. "Why is Dad here? Hindi ba't nasa vacation sila ni Mommy?"

Lumingon ako pabalik ng hindi ko narinig ang sagot ni Mariel. I saw her, nakayuko lamang na para bang iniiwasan ang mga mata ko pati narin ang sagutin ang kung ano mang itinanong ko sa kanya. Now I'm confuse. Is something happen?

I entered the room without knocking kaya naman ng makapasok ako ay lahat ng ulo ng mga miyembro ng board ay nakalingon sakin. Some are shocked and some look feared, but one face caught my eyes, the only one who's giving me an evil grin as soon as he saw me arrived, the man beside my dad.

"Anak, you're here." Dad acknowledge and I nodded.

I fake a cough and sit on the assigned chair for me. "What's this urgent meeting about? Kailangan ba talaga na ngayon na? Hindi pwedeng ipag-pamamaya?" I asked atsaka isa isang tinapunan ng tingin ang mga nasa loob.

"We're sorry about the short notice, Architect Faith but this is really urgent and its for the company." A middle aged woman spoke.

Tumaas ang kilay ko ng bahagya at pasimpleng tiningnan ang name plate na nasa harap nya. "This must be really important then, Mrs. Sarmiento."

"Anak you know what we always tell you right? You don't have to worry about our company. After all, you're building your own empire." Mommy seems to be uneasy and uncomfortable kaya napakunot bigla ang noo ko.
