I requested a list of the engineers and architects that will be going with me this weekend for Ilocos. Bakit wala ka? Did you resign?

9:14 pm
Your husband removed me from the project. I was in a meeting with him earlier. He's planning to send me abroad to work on a project. It's a construction of a school.

9:16 pm
WHAT!? Why!?

9:18 pm
He said he saw a potential in me. So he's trusting me with a project that's originally his.

9:20 pm
That's unlikely of Sid! He won't assign a project that's under his responsibility!

9:22 pm
Oh my god! May sinabihan ba 'yong kaibigan mo, Ares!?

9:24 pm
We're not talking but I trust Enzo. He won't do that.

9:26 pm
Are you sure!? I think Sid knows!

9:28 pm
Hindi ba pwedeng may tiwala lang siya sa akin na kaya ko? Ikaw lang yata ang ayaw maniwala, Aphrodite. I do it best when I make you moan my name instead of his, but that's not the only thing that I can bring to the table. Kaya ko rin maging mahusay na engineer katulad ng asawa mo.

9:30 pm
My god, Ares! That's not the point!

9:32 pm
Then what is? Alam mo... tanggap ko naman, I can never replace Sid in your life. Kasal ka sa kanya. So you know what, maybe it's better for me to say yes to this project. Wala rin namang pupuntahan 'to, 'di ba?

9:36 pm
Then fine! Leave!

9:38 pm
Oh, I will.

9:40 pm
Maybe this will be for the best, Ares.
