It's You, Always You

Building Feelings

It's been a week since Lily's last visit in the palace. She went early this day to deliver the good news.

Lily: Magandang umaga Mr. President! (she greeted with her sweet smile)

Oscar: Lily! Buti naman at nakadalaw kana. (with his sweet smile also)

Lily: Pasensya na Mr. President, hindi ako nakadalaw dito sa loob ng isang linggo. I had to fly to China to fix a few problems sa negosyo.

Oscar: Okay lang 'yon Lily, naiintindihan ka namin.

Lily: By the way, I have some good news! I talked to some Chinese investors nung nasa China pa ako, I proposed your deal at pumayag sila! All we have to do is set the date for the contract signing.

Oscar: Magandang balita 'yan! (sudden excitement)

Lily: Hindi lang 'yon, I talked to my friends who are good Chinese doctors regarding the arising dengue infection sa Tondo, and they're willing to donate free vaccines!

Oscar: Talaga?! Malaking tulong 'yan! Salamat Lily!

Oscar hugged Lily out of the blue. Lily was shocked on what Oscar did.

Oscar: Maraming salamat! (almost a whisper)

Lily: Ah...(felt awkwardness. she just smiled and tapped Oscar's back)

The secretaries entered the room and witnessed Oscar hugging Lily. The three were shocked with what they saw, nagkatitigan nalang sila. Even Captain Salonga was shocked with what Oscar did.

Delfin: Ah...Mr. President?

Oscar suddenly felt shy as he saw the secretaries staring at them so shocked. He let go of Lily immediately. And they stared at each other so awkwardly.

Oscar: I'm sorry Lily, na excite lang siguro ako.

Lily: It's okay Mr. President. (then she slightly smiled)

Awkwardness was still in the room. Lily broke it by telling the secretaries the good news.

Lily: Ah... May...may nahanap na akong Chinese investors para sa Techno Park sa Magbanua, and some of my friends who are good Chinese doctors is willing to donate dengue vaccines.

Diana: Magandang balita 'yan Ms. Cortez.

Lily: Ito ang profile at contact details ng mga Chinese investors. You can call them as long as you set the date for the contract signing. (She handed a folder to Secretary Diana.)

The secretaries sat down on the couch in the middle of the room while Oscar and Lily sat down on the opposite couch then Lily explained the profiles of the Chinese investors, one by one.

Lily: Wang Corporations. (Lily showed them their profile) Pinamumunuan ng Wang siblings. They're famous for building 5 star buildings for companies or other business buildings in China.

Delfin: Wang siblings?

Lily: Wang Li, Wang Jing and Wang Min, they run Wang Corporations.

Delfin responded with a nod.

Lily: This is Li Wei. (showed them her profile) She owns one of the top 3 most trusted clothing manufacturers company in China.

The secretaries read the profiles properly.

Lily: Last but the least, Meilin Yang. She owns one the most famous Martial Arts School in China. And she's an International Wushu Champion.
