#MSeries2
I waited for my driver in the lobby. Nakapatong ang isa kung paa sa aking kanang hita at minasahe iyon. I always struggle wearing heels but it's part of our dress code so...
Bumukas ang elevator at iniluwa roon si Carlos kasama ang dalawa pang naka business suit. Dumapo ang mata niya sa paa ko bago sa akin. I immediately put down my foot and fixed my sandal. Lagpas alas singko na, ah?
"You're waiting for your driver?"huminto siya sa mismong harap ko at binaliwala ang dalawa na nagpaalam sa kanya.
"Uh...Oo."sagot ko habang nag aayos ng sapatos.
He knelt in front of me. Before I could say any protests, he skillfully locked the shoe on my foot. Nang matapos ay tumayo rin siya kaagad.
Nagkatinginan ulit kami at alam ko na agad kung ano ang nasa isip niya.
"Manong is on his way..."inunahan ko. Baka matulad na naman ito sa huli at wala akong ibang nagawa kundi sumama sa kanya. Ng ganon lang kasimple!
He sighed and looked outside the revolving door.
"I'll take you home after dinner."he stated.
I almost rolled my eyes. Is he that lonely at home that he always asked someone like me to have dinner with him? Hindi ako assuming pero kakaiba talaga ang lalaking 'to, ah?
"Are you that comfortable asking me to join you for dinner, Mr. Salve?"I teased.
"Carlos, Martina."aniya
"You're in our building. That's called professionalism."agap ko.
"Alright. Let's go."sabay alis sa harap ko.
"Teka! I didn't say yes!"habol ko sa kanya.
Unbelievable. May padinner pang nalalaman ang taong 'to. As soon as we left the building I fired him with my questions.
"Are you that lonely to drag me for dinner? Asan mommy at daddy mo?"
"I'm your investor."he answered curtly. "Besides, this is business..."
"Wow! Wala namang connection ang business at dinner. You're unbelievable!"saad ko, hindi makapaniwala.
He's head tilt on the other side.
"You just come if I ask you to have dinner with me."aniya
I sarcasticly laughed. Nakapabossy ng hinayupak na 'to. Kung hindi lang malaki ang ambag nito sa negosyo namin sa presinto ko siya ipapatapon.
"I haven't offer you any favors amd if we're talking about the last time bayad na naman iyon. Tsaka teka lang, hindi sa lahat ng oras free ako, 'no. Busy rin ako!"gigil kong saad.
"You didn't say that earlier so I assumed that you're not."sagot niya naman.
Assuming ang gago.
"Iyon na nga! You dragged me!"
"You let me dragged you, Martina."
Huh! Ramdam ko pa ang amusement sa tono ng boses niya! I groaned out of frustrations. Just damn like that!
We didn't stop at Rebora's. It's quite far. I asked him where is he taking me but he didn't answer and told me to stop talking because I'm so loud.
"Sino ba namang hindi? Ang layo nito tsaka malay ko ba kung saan mo 'ko dadalhin!"sigaw ko.
Paakyat ang sasakyan niya. Sa gilid ko ay tanaw ko ang buong syudad at ang ibat ibang kulay ng ilaw. Pinaghalong dilaw, puti at green. Namangha ako kaya natahimik.
