Three Men Plus She (Completed)

3 - The Photographer

Emily is busy checking on some documents when a mestizo be-dimpled guy came in the Chairman's office. At first, she thought it is Yago, but recalling what Ms. Sonia told her on how to identify the triplets, she concluded that the one staring at her is Franco, the photographer and the youngest among the triplets.

"Good morning, Sir Franco," she greeted, and she smiles upon seeing Franco never leaves his gaze at her.

"Have we met before? I don't think I will forget a beautiful lady like you, but I don't remember meeting you prior to this," Franco said.

"I am Emily, your grandfather's new executive assistant," Emily said.

"His new girl Friday," Franco commented.

"His Executive Assistant, Sir," Emily firmly insisted.

"We are talking about my Lolo. Therefore, executive assistant and girl Friday is just the same for him," Franco straightly said. "I believe it was Fred who told you about me and my siblings. I'm impress, ngayon pa lang tayo nagkita ang yet, alam mo na agad na ako si Franco," Franco uttered.

"I already met your siblings, kanina lang. Sila Boss Gab at Sir Yago," Emily said.

"Let me guess, sinabi na sa iyo ni Sonia kung paano mo kami makikilala. Dahil hindi ako naniniwala na kahit nakilala mo na ang dalawang kapati ko, you could easily determine who is who," Franco uttered.

"You are correct, Sir, binigyan na ako ng tip ni Ms. Sonia," Emily replied, smiling.

"Sabi ko na nga ba eh. Where is Lolo?" Franco asked.

"He is in his room, may kakausapin daw syang tao and it is confidential that's why he prefers to do the video call in his room," Emily said.

"Grabe talaga si Lolo, ang kwarto dapat pinagpapahingahan. Kaya nga meron syang opisina dito sa bahay eh, para dito sya magtrabaho," Franco asked.

"Pwede naman kasing hindi trabaho ang video call nya," Emily said.

Franco smiles at what Emily uttered, "You have a point," he said, smiling. "Anyway, please tell him na hinahanap ko sya," he added.

"I will tell him that," Emily uttered and Franco fastly walks to the door when Don Jose suddenly came in his office.

"Hey, good morning, Lolo," Franco greeted.

"Good morning, Franco. Why did you not join us for breakfast earlier?" Don Jose asked while he walks to his desk.

"I'm sorry, Lolo, late na natapos yung photoshoot namin. You know that I hate leaving my work unfinished," Franco said.

"I know that, iho, at yan ang namana mo sa akin," Don Jose uttered, bragging. "Anyway, I want you to talk to your Kuya about a certain project," the old man added.

"Sinong Kuya ang tinutukoy mo, Lolo?" Franco asked, brimming. "I have two Kuyas, remember?" he added.

"I am talking about your Kuya Gabriel. I want you to oversee the production of our magazine na inilalabas natin yearly. I don't like yung inilabas nilang magazine last year, putting out audited financial statement in that magazine is totally absurd. I want more pictures this year. It should be something very pleasing to the eyes of the customers," Don Jose said.

"Okay, Lolo, tatawagan ko na lang si Kuya mamaya," Franco politely uttered.

"Don't just call him, I want you to pay him a visit today and I want to know the details of your talk with your brother immediately tomorrow morning," Don Jose firmly instructed.

Franco got no choice but uttered, "As you wish, Lolo. By the way, hindi mo nabanggit sa akin that you have a new girl friday," he said.

"She is not my girl Friday. She is my executive assistant. Kapag nakita mo ang resume ni Emily, siguradong mahihiya kang tawagin syang girl Friday. Anyway, Emily, I would like you to meet my youngest grandson, Jose Francisco," Don Jose said.
