“Yes, I already told you I want those flowers in the venue two hours before the time for prep di ba?” I furiously walked out of my BMW car and slammed the fucking door!
Damn these incompetent people! They’re stressing the hell out of me, napakasimpleng instruction hindi makasunod.
[“Miss Rukia, we already asked the team to double time the—“]
“Call all the possible saints you could because if that arc doesn’t turn out the way I want it to look like you’re all fired!” I hang the phone up and immediately walked to the building. What a way to start my fucking day!
“Good morning Miss.” The guard greeted me but I paid him no attention at dire diretsong naglakad papunta sa elevator.
“Good morning Miss Rukia.” Eros greeted me and walked by my side.
“Schedule?”
“You have three meetings for today. These are all in prep for the Claveria’s Royal Party next month.” I saw her scroll down her iPad from my peripheral vision as I walk. “And uhm…”
“What?”
“Engineer Vince asked if you could join him for dinner?” My mood automatically switched upon hearing his name.
“Vincent? Sauler?” I clarified, trying not to sound so excited.
“Yes.” I turned away from Eros, trying to contain my heart’s happiness.
“And a client would like to see you personally for an engagement party.”
“I’d like to see more designs for the backdrop, I want fresh concepts for the party. I need it ASAP, I’ll be meeting the Claverias soon for the approval.” As much as I want to get mad for all the lame concepts they’ve been presenting to me, everything just went down to disappointment.
“But it will take time before—“
“You can’t do it?”
“It’s just that…”
“Yes or no?”
“That’s just impossi—“
“You’re fired.” I stood up and picked up a folder with the files I need. “I don’t need people who believe in such thing as impossible. Eros,” Eros came to me quickly.
“Yes Miss?”
“Find a more capable concept designer and creator. I need one by tomorrow.”
“Yes Miss.” I walked out of the conference room and went straight to my office. I opened the folder and scanned through a few designs for the event venue, I sighed.
Fucking bullshit.
“None of these will work.” I turned my computer on and tried to come up with a draft design for the venue when my fucking phone rang.
Jerome calling…
“Hey.” I said as I picked my phone up.
[“Hey, had your lunch?”] I let go of my mouse and crossed my legs.
“Nah, I have work.”
[“Akala ko ba no skipping of meals?”] His tone changed to a dark one.
“Well duh.” I replied when the door suddenly opened and revealed him. “What are you doing here? I thought busy ka sa law school?!” He put his phone in his pocket and placed a paper bag on my table.
“Food, eat.” I pouted.
“You came here for this?” I asked and he gave me a light nod. “Aww, that’s sweet.”
“It’s because you’re so irresponsible.”
“Excuse me?”
“Dadaan ka ate?” I glared at him so he gave me a chuckle. “Kumain ka kasi, nag aalala ako sayo, hindi ako makapag focus sa school.” I blew my cheek and pouted.
Jerome isn’t my biological brother, he’s more like a soul sibling of mine. We live in the same condominium unit before when I was still sending him to college but he moved out after graduation, saying I need a time for myself too. However, madalas pa rin sya sa condo ko, checking on me. Weird right?
“Hey Jerome, you’re here.” Katana went inside the room with a few folder on hand.
“Yeah, hi.” He replied.
“Here’s the program flow and script for the Claveria’s party, let me know if you want anything changed so our team can work on it ASAP.” Katana handed me the folders and I gave her a small smile in gratitude. “So you’re going to have dinner with Engr. Vince later?”
Jerome’s head automatically shifted to me.
“What?”
I closed my eyes in stress.
“Oops, sorry.” Katana whispered and I heard her walked out of my office. Damn, if she weren’t my friend I would’ve strangled her to death. THE MOUTH!
“Ate, we talked about this right?” Jerome sounded so cold.
“Yeah, it’s nothing. Just a dinner.”
“Just a dinner, with only the two of you on a table. Are you trying to pull jokes on me?” I bit the inside of my cheek. “Ginagawa ka nyang kabit.”
And there it is.
“It’s not like that.”
“Stop it Ate, you’re not that stupid.” He hissed and put his hands on his waist. I kept myself in silence and I heard him sighed in disbelief. “Bahala ka nga.” He said and walked out of my office, slamming the fucking door shut.
Rukia naman kasi, maiinlove ka na nga lang, dun pa sa may girlfriend.
It’s not like it was my fault, I didn’t know he has one. When I met him in Japan during an event, he never mentioned about having a girlfriend or what so ever. He’s nice, handsome, smart, he smells good, and just perfect.
When I realized he has a girlfriend, I automatically cutted ties with him. Of course I would! I still have my morale, it’s just that, I don’t forget easily when I fall in love. Bullshit.
I’m 25 years old and I own this events organizing company which works with the biggest companies across the Asia, we also arrange events for some royalties and filthy rich people, politicians, celebrities, name it. I’m planning to establish the company in Europe soon but I just have too many stuff to deal with right now. Including my fucking lovelife.
Minsan na nga lang mainlove nagkakanda leche leche pa.
I sighed and continued to work on the design I was coming up with earlier until my phone rang an alarm and noticed that it’s almost 7 o’clock and it’s already dark outside.
Gosh it’s late! I have a dinner with Vince at 8 o’clock!
I picked my things up when Eros suddenly entered the office.
“Miss Rukia…”
“Yes?”
“He’s here.”
“Who?” I answered without looking at her because I was so busy putting things inside my bag. Gosh I can’t be late! I still have to choose what outfit to wear.
I heard footsteps and a manly voice filled the room suddenly.
“I’m Captain Cyther Dauntiere, I’m here to arrange an engagement party.”
