You're Still Mine

Chapter 40

Richard was still on the conference room when he called Grace.

"Yes sir?" She immediately asked.

"Grace, I want you to look for some business strategies."

"Sir?" She confusedly asked.

"Business strategy, maganda yung suggestion na yun."

"Eh bakit tinanggihan po natin si Ms. Dawn kanina?"

"Wala iniinis ko lang."

"Huy sir, na badtrip talaga si Ms. Dawn kanina ah. Nakita ko po yung reaction niya pag labas eh."

"Anyway, we still have to consider that suggestion. Actually it's really a good one diba."

"Yes sir, kaya nagtaka nga po ako nung nag disagree kayo kanina. Tapos si Ms. Dawn pa ang nag sabi. Nakakapanibago sa inyo na tanggihan siya."

"However, let's try to make it happen padin. Observe it, kapag effective, send a letter to her informing that we did her suggestion, include an apology also sa letter."

"Nako sir baka magalit po lalo yun si Ma'am ha."

"Sige na Grace start to do it now. You can leave."

It was lunch time but Richard was still busy with his work. He was browsing their sales, reading the letters from the board, when someone knocked on his door. It opened and revealed Andy and Dave.

"Andy! Pasok kayo." Richard said as he stand up and approached them. "Bakit kayo nandito?"

"Nangungulit kasi si Dave na puntahan ka. Alam mo naman yan miss na miss ka. I also brought some lunch. Kain muna tayo." Andy said.

"Oh tamang tamang hindi pa ako kumakain, halika na let's eat." Richard said and helped Andy to prepare their food. "Thank you ha!"

"You're welcome." She replied and gave him a smiled.

After they eat, Richard asked Grace to bring Dave to his play room.

"Andy, pupunta ka ba sa coffee shop mamaya?"

"Oo, bakit?"

"Samahan ka na namin ni Dave."

"Sige saglit lang naman ako doon."

"Okay, ilang oras na lang din naman. Tapusin ko muna itong trabaho ko."

Andy was sitting on the couch while waiting for Richard to finished his work when someone called her.

"Rich, labas muna ako. I'll take this call." She said and head out.

"Hello?" She started.

"Andy, we have to talked."

"Bakit?"

"I've heard about your son? May naisip lang ako."

"Okay sige. I'll text you the place na lang. Doon tayo mag usap."

"Okay."

She ended the phone call and head back inside the office.

"Rich, ikaw na mag uwi kay Dave ha. I have to go." She said and grabbed her bag.

"Oh san ka pupunta?" He confusedly asked her.

"Sa friend ko. It's emergency." She said as an excuse.

"Hatid kita?"

"No, hindi na. Umuwi na kayo ni Dave."

"Okay. Oh paano I'll wait for you ba?"

"Sure, I'll buy dinner nadin."

"Okay ingat ka! Love you!"

"Seseryosohin ko yan Richard."

"Edi seryosohin natin."

"Hay nako paasa ka!"

"Pero ito Andy seryoso, mag ingat ka nga."

"Oo naman, sige una na ako ha."

Andy was quietly sitting inside a restaurant, waiting for almost half an hour.

"Andy, pasensya na natagalan ako. Madami pa kasing inaasikaso."

"Okay lang Rowell, maupo ka muna. Ano bang gusto mong pag usapan?"

"Nabanggit kasi samin ni Alice na may anak daw kayo ni Richard totoo ba?"

"Oo si Dave, pero kasi..."

"Alam mo tamang tama yan. Lalong hindi na babalikan ni Dawn si Richard kasi may anak na siya."

"Oo nga Rowell. Sobrang salamat talaga at tinulungan mo ako ha. Pero may sasabihin ako sayo."

"Oh sige ano ba yun?"

Dawn was busy with her laptop when Alice called her.

"Dawny, kanina ka pa tahimik." She said as she sat down in front of her table. "Oh coffee you want?"

"Thank you Alicia. Naiinis kasi ako eh, nag susuggest lang naman ako kanina to improve the sales. Pinahiya pa ako sa mga board."

"Hay nako, hayaan mo na yung si Richard. Nang iinis lang yun."

"Pwes hindi ako natutuwa."

"Relax ka lang Dawny."

"Syempre I want the sale to increase, dahil we invest to them eh."

"Maiisip din niya yun. Oo nga pala Dawny, out of town kami ni Derek next week. Okay lang ba iwan si Rachel?"

"Pwedeng pwede para naman sumaya saya naman ako."

"Hala bakit Dawny? Malungkot ka ba?"

"No, what I mean is tahimik sa bahay. Si Vice late na kung umuwi minsan. Tapos si Rowell naman medyo busy pa doon sa branch na itatayo eh."

"Dawny yang si Rowell okay na kami nyan ha. Pero sabihin mo wag puro trabaho ang asikasuhin niya ha. Mamaya nakakalimutan ka na niya!"

"Hindi naman ganun Alicia. Okay lang naman dahil para din naman sa amin yung inaasikaso niya."

"Hmm oh sige ha. Pahatid ko kay Derek mamayang gabi si Rachel."

"Okay sige, at kayo ha. Mag ingat kayo ng asawa mo, nako mamaya nag tatampo na yang si Rachel sa inyo."

"Hala ganun ba yung tingin mo?"

"Hindi naman, pero give more time sa kanya ha."

"Yes we will naman. May importante lang talagang pupuntahan kami."

"Okay. Nako tapusin na natin itong mga designs Alicia. Look at this oh." Dawn said and handed her the sketch.
