Agang-aga sumasakit na yung ulo ko. Too early to hear the noisy rant of my cousin.

"I informed you already that you are not allowed to go in without telling Miss Flickerwood!"

"And I told you there's no need for that!"

Dagdagan pa ng ingay ni Maddy. Actually both of them are having an argument in front of me.

"My instruction was so simple you cannot even follow!" Maddy screamed.

"There's no need for formality when it comes to my cousin!"

I stood. "BOTH OF YOU FUCKING SHUT UP!" at last they stopped! "Nakakasira kayo ng araw mga walanghiya! Ang aga pa para sa sigawan niyo!"

"E bakit sumisigaw ka rin!" they shouted in unison.

WOW. I'm shook.

"At sumasagot pa talaga kayo? Baka nakalimutan niyo kung sino ako at ano ang posisyon ko sa kompanyang ito. Alam niyo kung anong kaya kong gawin." I smiled at them sarcastically.

"Now." muli akong umupo. "You're already quarreling yet you haven't introduced each other. Let me do it." tinukod ko ang aking siko sa lamesa at ang baba ko sa aking kamay.

"Maddy that jerk beside you is my cousin Jasper Spade. He's an ass sometimes but he can be kind too, so masanay ka na sa ugali niya. Since first meeting niyo pa so 'di mo alam na kapag siya ang bibisita sa'kin there's no need for formality."

Her expression remained blank. She really is pissed.

"Thank you for that couz, very much appreciated." nagsalita ang walangya.

"Ikaw naman couz." I turned to Jasper. "Ang simple lang naman ng pag introduce na pinsan kita ba't 'di mo pa magawa."

"Ang tagal mong sinabi kay Maddy na magpinsan tayo, at ilang beses ko na bang sinabi sa'yo na KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER! Hindi yung bigla ka na lang papasok na walang pasabi!" mawawalan ata ako ng boses sa kakasigaw sa dalawang 'to.

Geez they're such a pain in the ass! "Nga pala she's Peppa Maddison Haudkings my secretary. But. Never underestimate her just because she's just a secretary because she's not. She's more than just a secretary. She's important to me. Naintindihan mo?"

I could see Maddy teary eyed. Arte nito.

"Now, pwede na kayo magbati." biglang bumalik sa blankong ekspresyon ang mukha ni Maddy, at si Jasper naman nakasimangot. "Peace be with you guys. Now lumayas na kayo sa harapan ko at may gagawin pa ako."

"I'm staying and you." turo niya kay Maddy. "Can you get-" napatigil siya at kinalma ang sairili. "Miss Maddison, would you mind going out for awhile? I have some business to talk with your boss."

I'm impressed how he managed to be calm and formal in front of her. He rarely does that to people he just met.

"Sabi niya kayo which means kasama ka, not just me." she retorted. Galit nga!

"I am here in the first place, dahil may pag-uusapan kami ng pinsan ko na humantong sa 'di natin pagkakaintindihan."

Seriously? What's wrong with these two.Walang katapusan na ba 'to? Problemado na nga ako sa balitang nakarating sa'kin ang ingay pa ng mga 'to!

"Maddy I'm sorry you had to deal with my cousin, but can you please wait outside muna? I will talk to him para matapos na 'to. Is that okay with you?" I smiled sincerely.

She sighed heavily before stepping outside my office. Pansin ko naman pano sinundan ni Jasper ng tingin si Maddy habang naglakad ito palabas.

Jerk. Alam ko kung ano yung tinitingnan niya. "Jasper."
