Broken beyond Repair

BBR8: Sir EA

Sue's POV:

Okay! This is the day that I'm looking forward to have. The very first meeting sa pinakaaasam-asam kong job title. I am really nervous. Feeling ko bumata ang pakiramdam ko, like it was my first day on my very first job.

I am wearing a peach peplum dress and curled my long hair. I put some make up, just a bit para naman hindi halatang maputla ako.

I rode a taxi. The office building is just blocks away from my hotel. After some minutes, I am now standing in the lobby. I asked the receptionist kung anong floor ang office ng EIC.

"Miss. I am Kimberly Sue Chiu. I have an appointment with the EIC of Summers Publishing. I believe it's Mr. Guzman?"

"Oh. Ms. Chiu. I am Sansa. We're expecting you today. As of now kasi walang EIC ang Summers. I think ang kumontak sa inyo ay si President Guzman. I was instructed to bring you to him the moment you arrived. Please come with me." She said politely then instructed yung isa pa niyang kasama to take over.

"I---you mean yung presidente ang nakakausap ko?" I asked, bewildered.

"Yes Ma'am. But anything you want to ask, kay Sir EA na lang po ninyo itanong. The president is strict." She whispered the last sentence and gave me a conspirational wink.

I just nodded. I got all the more nervous. Sir EA. Gush. Pero pag magkausap naman kami hindi sya ganun ka-strict? He is quite cold yes, pero...Hay bahala na!

We arrived at the 17th floor.

"Hi Ms. Rosiel. Nandito na si Ms. Chiu. I brought her up as instructed." Sabi ni Sansa sa medyo may katandaan nang babae na nakaupo sa may labas ng office ni Sir EA. Might be the secretary.

"Hi Ms. Chiu. Nice seeing you in person! Ms. Chan had so many nice things to say about you. I'm Rosiel Cruz, ang secretary ni Mr. EA. He is expecting you. Wait for a moment at sasabihan ko siya. Thank you Sansa, pwede ka nang bumalik sa pwesto mo." Said the lady and immediately went inside the office. It looks very manly. Not fit for a fashion magazine office. Oh well, marami siguro itong mga subsidiary companies at dito lang naka-base ang office ng presidente. La Tigra Magazine office must be on the floors below.

After a minute lumabas na din si Ms. Cruz.

"You can now come in Ms. Chiu." she smiled.

I mumbled my thanks and head for the door.

And I was dumbfounded when I opened the door and saw the man who's sitting comfortably on his swivel chair.

"Hi Sue. We meet again."

He was smiling like the devil himself. Edgar Allan Guzman, the other man who had took my breath away. The other guy I dated years ago, before I graduated college, to forget Alex.

"How? I--I...You're not supposed to be here." naguguluhan kong sabi.

"I'm not? Sorry to disappoint you Sue pero ako nga talaga ito, ang president ng publishing company na pagta-trabauhan mo. Aren't you delighted?" Nakakalokong ngisi ang binigay nya sa akin.

"I do not mean to be disrespectful Sir pero please, enlighten me. The last time we saw each other ay nung papunta kang America to have your Masterals. You didn't mention noon na sa inyo ang Summers at..." I trailed off and shrugged my shoulders. This is definitely not what I'm expecting. Really, of all people. Of all the places in the world. Here. Him.

"I forgot my manners. Please have a sit Sue. And don't call me Sir. What happened to Ean?"

"You're my boss and so I will call you Sir EA." I firmly said. My lips went thin as he mentioned the name I gave him years ago.
