"Thank you for trusting us, Ma'am."
The secretary smiled brightly at me while she was joining me on my way out of the building.
Sinuklian ko ang ngiti niya.
"No worries. To be honest, I was really impressed with what they presented."
Her eyes lit up. "I assure you that you won't have any regrets po!" magiliw na dagdag niya.
Mas lumawak ang kurba ng labi ko dahil sa kagalakang ipinapakita niya. Kalaunan ay nagpaalam na rin kami sa isa't isa dahil tuluyan na kaming nakalabas mula sa gusali.
Ilang minuto na rin ang nakalipas mula nang matanggap ko ang mensahe ni Ace kanina na nandito na siya. I quickly spotted his car so I went straight there.
I greeted him with a smile as soon as I got inside. I instantly felt the sun rays from the outside hitting on me. It was exactly noon time so the extreme heat isn't very much surprising.
"Sorry, ang tagal ko ata." I briefly said. "Did I keep you waiting for long?" I offhandedly asked while wearing my seatbelt.
Madali ko iyong naikabit kaya't bumaling din agad ako sa kaniya. I stiffened when he naturally leaned near my position to reach for the sun visor of the car. His manly arm tightened a bit as he pulled it down.
Agad noong naharangan ang sinag ng araw mula sa pagtama sa mukha ko. His initiative immediately brought comfort to me. It feels good without the sunlight touching my skin.
"Not really," his voice was a little husky when he muttered it while we were still a bit close to each other.
He then withdrawn his hand and went back to his place. His every movement seems instinctive. It looks innate and spontaneous. It makes me feel... warm.
Nakapako lang ang tingin ko sa kaniya hanggang nahanap niya na rin ang mata ko. His tender eyes gazed at me.
"How did it go?" he asked.
I remained staring at him in daze. Still caught up from his small gesture a few seconds ago.
"It.. went well," I mumbled in a small voice, suddenly feeling flush for an unknown reason.
His stare lingered at me. May kaunting bahid ng pagtataka mula roon marahil dahil sa kakaibang pinapakita ko. I tensely looked away. I suddenly got anxious that he might see pass through my soul and apprehend what's going on with my senses.
Kahit sa iba na ko nakatingin ay ramdam ko pa rin ang mabigat niyang titig. Inabot pa ng ilang sandali bago ko narinig ang pagsisimula niya sa makina ng sasakyan. I cleared my throat to get back from my trance.
