Chapter 29.2

Nagdridrive ako papunta sa isang business meeting namin ni Rainne ngayong tanghali. Hindi ko pa nakakalimutan ang nangyari sa kanila ni Alonna but I need to be professional.

I was expecting to see Rainne but was not pleased nang tanging sekretarya niya lang ang dumating. Iniisip ko tuloy na napaka unprofessional naman niya kung ang dahilan ay yung nangyari sa kanila ni Alonna kung bakit hindi siya dumating.

“Good day, Mr. Faustino. I apologize in behalf of Miss Rainne’s absence. She’s currently fixing some problems about her business construction in Palawan.”

She immediately stood and apologized.

“Is this the subdivision near my mall?”

“Yes, sir.” Umupo ako habang sumasagot siya while I gesture her to sit and she followed. I nodded but it doesn’t mean that I was not disappointed with this.

“Sometimes, problems are inevitable, but is it that hard to make some calls for a heads up? And why didn’t she assign one of her directors or anyone in position to attend a meeting that is really important? Does she think so low about this?”

“I’m sorry, Sir but Miss Rainne was already here when she got the call. Miss Rainne was handling this project with you personally due to its higher importance. She could’ve called any person with higher position for this but none of them know or already have a knowledge and insight in regards to this business. I, on the other hand have been present in every meeting, listened and understood all important conversations and took notes of everything that needs to be noted. Miss Rainne is aware of this and trusts my ability to understand and help you with the problem that is to be discussed. I will make sure that you won’t be disappointed, sir and will not feel doubt of having a partnership with Miss Rainne and with our company.” Taas noo niyang sabi.

Matigas ang tingin na ipinukol ko sa kanya at hindi ko na itinago ang pagkadismaya ko sa nangyayari. I’m trying to look intimidating as possible before her but with the incredible calmness that she’s showing made her quite remarkable. Hindi ko napigilang tumaas ang gilid ng mga labi ko dahil sa mga sinabi niya.

“Very well, Vernice. Let’s see how well you understand.”

True to her words, the meeting went well. Talagang marami siyang nalalaman tungkol sa project namin at talagang namangha ako sa pinapakita niyang kaalaman. It’s like she’s handling the business from the start instead of just standing behind her boss. Kung hindi ko lang alam na sekretarya lang siya ni Rainne, aakalain kong tini-train siya mismo ni Rainne.

Lahat ng tanong ko may sagot siya. She always has things to suggest improving the project. She even understands and studied the timeline of the construction up to its official opening. She’s very business minded and professional. Ang maganda pa ay kalmado lang siya habang kinakausap ako. Nandon parin ang paggalang sa bawat salita niya pero nandon din ang punto sa mga salita niya. Quite impressive, indeed.

“I’m impressed.” Agad siyang napaharap sakin na para bang nagulat sa sinabi ko. “You really know this very well. Rainne did the right thing on assigning you. Well done.”

I plastered a smile and I show her blushed a bit. Tumikhim siya para itago ang pagkahiya niya at ngumiti pabalik. “Thank you, Mr. Faustino. If you need anything, Miss Rainne will be back at the office later.”

Inayos ko ang mga gamit ko, tumayo at naglahad ng kamay. “Nice talking business with you. Keep it up.” Her smile became wide and she looks like a kid being praised for a good grade she got from school. Cute.
