Hi sir.

I like the idea you sent. Every detail was perfect. I hope Annina would love it as well.Good thing you took away the dance part. Sorry, sir, di ko talaga kayang sumayaw.

By the way, I already deposited the full amount on your account. Thank you pala for reconsidering the amount and lowering it to 80 k. I know that you are a professional production team, but i'm just a simple guy with a fixed wage. I just want this to be extra special for my Annina.

Thanks again, sir Arthur. I hope it all works out as planned. I'll see you on Sunday.

Carl.

Buti na lang nagbayad na si Carl. I lowered the rate kase I understand where he's coming from. Kung matutuloy ang wedding nila, naku, kailangan nila ng budget for the more important stuff.  I have to admit, this really is a way over the top proposal. I should know, I've been there.

Isa pa, This is the first time we are venturing on mobbing. If this works out fine, pwede na namin itong i-offer as one of our services. Marketing strategy kumbaga. Medyo matumal ang production ngayon for Music videos and TV ads so might as well venture on this one. I think 80 k would be fine to cover up everything. Ako na bahala mag-explain kay Jeybs about the price cut.

Speaking of Jeybs, hanggang ngayon I'm still in the state of shock hearing the news. Namputsa, Isang taon na kami sa business na'to, di ko man lang namalayan na magsyota pala si Abby at si gago? Don't get me wrong, I like Abby. She's cool, smart and very efficient. Pag si Abby ang tumira sa production, pulido. Pero kasi as much as possible, pag trabaho, trabaho, nothing else. Sabi nila malas daw sa business pag may mga ganung activity involved kaya as much as possible, ayoko sanang may ganun. Ang galing din ni Jeybs,e. Alam niya kasing di ko sila papayagan. Akalain mong nakalusot ng di ko namamalayan. Well, I'm happy for Jeybs. He finally found the girl that would tame the wild fox in him. I couldn't say the same thing for Abby though. Kilala ko si Jeybs. Tarantado yun.

Isang setback lang sa sitwasyon ngayon is parang sumikip ang office.  Looking around, I could almost imagine kung saan nila ginawa si junior. Dito sa sofa? Sa pantry? Sa CR? Shit. Parang kahit saan ako humawak ngayon sa office, feeling ko may sex juice na tumalsik dun. It gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnng!"

Doorbell rings. Andyan na yung bitch from hell. Bakit kasi pumayag akong isama sa project itong si Jess, e. First impression ko dito, pakialamera. Walang preno ang bibig. May sariling pag-iisip. Ayoko nang isipin kung anong kaya niyang gawin. Nakakainis. To think we just met,  akala niya kilala na niya buong pagkatao ko. One video on youtube doesn't make a man.  Pero sabi nga ng mom ko, when an adversary comes your way, patayin mo sa baet.

" Hi, Jess. Pasok ka. Nagbreakfast ka na?"

Shit. Ang hirap magpakabait sa harap nitong kumag na ito.

" Nagpatake-out lang ako for the three of us. Baka kasi may late tayo. Ok lang ba pancakes?"

Hmm. Nagpapagood vibes si bruha. Sige lang, pero I won't let my guard down. That first meeting was a disaster, di na mauulit yun, 'kala mo.

"Oh by the way. Jeybs won't be joining us. He has this thing with his girlfriend..."

"Ah, yeah. Nakalimutan ko. Nanganak pala si Abby. That means two pancakes for you."
