Three Men Plus She (Completed)

47 - Tease

Elizabeth's training continued despite that occasional argument with Gabriel. They still manage to finish their session. Gabriel followed Emily's advise on how to handle Elizabeth and the DBS President finds it effective. Therefore, the frequent argument between the trainee and the trainor have lessen to only occasionally. And that change made Emily's work easier.

"It's 6pm already, Ate, why are you still working?" Elizabeth asked after her training session with Gabriel.

"I am almost done, uuwi ka na ba?" Emily asked.

"Yes, I have to prepare for tomorrow's class on the new batch of students," Elizabeth said.

"All right, I will see you then tomorrow," Emily uttered.

"Thank God, Thursday na bukas, and Friday na the day after tomorrow, let's have dinner on Friday, Ate," Elizabeth said, and Gabriel's quickly halted at what he was reading as he wants to hear Emily's reply to Elizabeth's invitation.

On Friday, Lily will be having a coffee with her avid reader. Gabriel has started preparing for that coffee date since Emily confirms her availability the previous night.

"I can't, may pupuntahan ako," Emily declined.

"May date ka, Ate?" Elizabeth excitedly asked.

"Coffe date, with one of my readers," Emily uttered, and it makes Gabriel's heart beats fast because of excitement.

"Reader? Baka serial killer yan, Ate," Elizabeth commented.

"Grabe ka naman, malamang hindi, kasi kung serial killer si Riel eh di sana hindi sa isang coffee shop ang date namin," Emily said.

"Hindi ka pa rin nakakasiguro, baka may ilagay yun sa iinumin mong kape tapos dalhin ka sa kung saan," Elizabeth uttered.

"I'll be fine, Chef, don't worry about me. I know how to take care of myself," Emily said.

"Gusto mo samahan kita?" Elizabeth then asked and Gabriel is quick to butt-in.

"Are you ready to leave, Emily?" Gabriel asked to prevent Emily on the possible tagging of Elizabeth to their coffee date.

"Malapit na, Boss Gab, I'll just save this presentation then magliligpit na ako," Emily replied.

"Paano ka matatapos kung nakikipagkwentuhan ka?" Gabriel uttered.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and uttered, "hay naku, hindi talaga matatapos ang araw na hindi ako maiinis sa iyo, Gabriel. Patapos na lang ang araw, ininis mo pa ako,"

"What did I do?" Gabriel asked as if he does not know what Elizabeth is talking about.

"Sige na, Chef, umuwi ka na baka ma-traffic ka pa," Emily said.

"Mabuti pa nga at baka kapag nagtagal pa ako dito eh masira nang tuluyan ang araw ko," Elizabeth. "Babay na, Ate, bukas na lang tayo mag-usap," she said and kissed Emily goodbye before she exited Gabriel's office.

"Grabe talaga kayo ni Chef, akala ko matatapos ang araw na ito nang matiwasay, hindi rin pala," Emily commented.

"May mali ba sa sinabi ko?" Gabriel asked.

"Fine, wala ngang mali sa sinabi mo, Boss Gab," Emily replied.

"Pwede na ba tayong umalis?" Gabriel asked again.

"Pwedeng fifteen minutes pa, Boss Gab? Ngayon ko lang napansin may kailangan akong ayusin sa powerpoint presentation para sa board meeting tomorrow," Emily asked, smiling.

"Hapon pa naman ang board meeting, you can do that tomorrow morning," Gabriel said.

"Konti lang naman itong aayusin ko eh," Emily said.
