Morning came at umagang umaga, tumatawag agad si Tam. It's not just a call but a video call. Nagulat na lang ako nang marinig ko 'yung nakakabinging boses niya. I'm getting ready para pumasok sa trabaho ngayon. I'm checking myself at the full-length mirror.
I'm wearing a well-fitting tailored blazer partnered with chiffon maxi skirt. My hair is in a high ponytail.
My face looks so radiant today. Is it because he did actually reply on my good night? Ang bilis kong nakatulog kagabi kaya hindi ko na nabasa. Nabasa ko na lang kanina pagkagising ko. Hindi na rin ako nakapagbreakfast kasi late na akong nagising but it doesn't mean that I will not take my time in choosing clothes.
I'm choosing between crepe-colored tote bag or parmesan-colored handbag. The parmesan one is cute because yellow is my favorite color but the crossbody bag is also cute.
[Margaux! Écoutez-vous même?]
"Sorry, what? By the way, ano mas bagay?" I showed him the bags.
[Seriously, Marge.]
"Ok, 'yong handbag na lang. I love yellow." I muttered to myself.
[Margaux, you need to see this.]
Napalingon naman ako sa iPad ko. My eyes widened from what I'm seeing right now.
[I know you're shock. You don't allow other people basta basta. Sorry pinapasok namin siya pero hanggang dito lang siya sa mini common room. Margaux, marupok ako! Sorry.]
"Bakit mo pinapasok sa common room? Pwede namang sa workspace ko mismo!" I told Tam with my oh so high-pitched voice.
I saw how Tam stilled hearing me said those words. Well, I'm serious about it. Pwede namang sa office ko.
Yves is sitting on the couch while browsing catalogues. He looks so serious doing it. Napalingon siya bigla sa gawi ni Tam. Tam suddenly panicked judging by how he immediately divert the camera. I even heard him cussed in Filipino.
[Dalian mo, Margaux. Kanina pa siya naghihintay!]
It looks like Tam went to a room because of the sound of a door closing. "So? Maghintay siya."
I smiled at the mirror to check how I look like smiling that way. Tumigil lang ako nang marinig ko si Tam na tumitili na sa sobrang inis. I left my penthouse laughing because of Tam. I ended the call by telling him na paalis na ako. This is the true 'paalis na ako'.
I arrived at the workplace. Nagmamadali pa akong naglakad papasok. I opened the door and my smile widened as I saw him. I looked for Tam and I saw him with the other designers gawking at Yves. The workspace has transparent glasses kaya malaya nila siyang nakikita na nakaupo.
It seems like they didn't notice me entering the place kaya dahan dahan akong naglakad papunta sa kanila. Hands are behind my back while walking towards them. I already got Yves' attention but they're still looking at him. Pasimuno pa itong si Tam.
I stand in front of them, behind the glass wall. Their eyes slowly went to me. Smile's still plastered on my face. They panicked and immediately went back to their works. Nagkabangga banggaan pa sila. I entered the workspace. Tam acted like he's ordering something to them. Tumigil ako sa tabi niya at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"Qu'est ce que tu crois faire?" My question made them panic even more.
I turned my back in a dramatic way and left the room. Yves looked at me soon as he saw me walking towards him. Napansin ko 'yong paper bags sa center table.
"Uh...I came here to give this to you." He said referring to the paper bags. I smelled the freshly cooked pancakes and French toasts. Nagutom tuloy ako bigla!
