My eyes have machine guns.

Hinugot ko ang pinakamalalim kong hininga at ibinuga.This is it.The venue was a high class fine dining restaurant.Sa labas pa lang pinaghahanda na ako.

The door was pulled for me and I was led by a uniform lady to where my date was.

Nagpasalamat ako dito nang maihatid ako sa mesa kung nasaan si Mr. Gan na surprisingly ay mas maaga pa pala sa akin kahit ten minutes ko ng inagahan.

"Sir." I mentioned. Nakaupo siya at itinuro ang kaharap na upuan.He's with his assistant I guess.

Hanggang pagkaupo ko ay hindi ako tinantanan ng kanyang tingin.As usual,he was deadly serious and business-like.Kakailanganin ko ang lahat ng manners na naipon ko sa buong buhay ko kung ganon.

"Wine,architect?" Ang alok sa akin ng kanyang assistant na nagpakilalang Benedict.

"Ah,sige po." Sagot ko.

Ipinagsalin niya ako and I took a sip.Pampakalma.Pakiramdam ko kasi ay galit ang matandang Gan.And I'm quite right when he started to speak.

"I was told that my grandson tried entertaining you that day but you left." He said monotonously.

Suminghap ako at ngumiti. Sinisingil niya ako sa ginawa ko. "Yes sir." Ang sagot ko while maitaining my smile. I don't know what else to say,as always I'm always starstruck.

Bahagyang nanigkit ang kanyang mga mata at tumuwid ng upo. "But I didn't require him.I told the hiring department to hire you immediately but Aaron took his chance to distract you."

My brows knitted I couldn't help from frowning. "Po? Hindi ko po maintindihan Sir."

Hindi nagbabago ang paraan ng pagtingin niya dahilan para kabahan ako.Am I in trouble?

"I still want you in my company."

My brows now shot up. "Sir?"

"I'll put you as," he looked at his assistant.

"Principal Architect for Catalina Convention Center."

"Yes,that project,you're own project." Sabi niya pabalik sa akin,diretso sa mga mata ko like matter-of-factly.

Napamaang ako.Did I just heard it right? Like holy shit. "My own project?" Ang feeling ng dating.

Pagkasabi niya ng yes ang pagtango naman ni Benedict.

Holy F.

Pero teka lang.I literally imagined myself rewinding the situation back from where we started.May mali eh.Like I always used to do,I asked my favorite question. "Why,sir? Why me?"

Mukhang hindi ko naman nabastos o ano ang matanda sa tanong ko dahil hindi man lang nabawasan ang kaseryosohan niya. "Why you?" He pondered.Tumango ako. "Why,are you involved to someone else right now Ms. Luy?"
