Her Point of View."May pupuntahan ka this weekend, Miss?"Tanong ni Koraine habang nakatingin sa bitbit kong maliit na travel bag."Yes."Sabi ko kasi kay Carriuz sa EBC niya na lang ako sunduin at pumayag naman siya. Iiwan ko na lang din ang kotse ko dito sa EBC. Konti lang naman ang dinala ko dahil dalawang araw lang namin kami doon. Babalik kami ng madaling araw ng monday at baka dumeretso na lang ako dito sa office all the way from Tagaytay. I can manage naman."Okay po. You have a meeting with the investors by 1pm.""It's still early right? May oras pa ako para pumunta ng lab.""Lab po? Why Miss?""May nagustuhan akong products nila and I want to know how they do it.""Alright. I'll come with you po.""Sige."The whole morning nasa laboratory ako para itanong kung paano gawin ang ibang products na gusto nilang ipakita sakin at i-offer. I agreed at some pero yung iba ni-decline ko dahil medyo matapang ang ibang ingredients. I asked them to prepare for the presentation together wi
Her Point of View."Anong meron?"Umangat ang tingin ko at nakita si Lor na nakasuot ng pink suit. Tumaas ang isa kong kilay. He look.. nice and feminine? Whatever."Anong anong meron?"Confused kong tanong sa kaniya. Tinuro niya ang travel bag na nasa gilid."Oh that? I'm going to Tagaytay tonight.""Ay oh? Modeling gig?"Umiling ako."Nah. I'm with Carriuz."Napatakip siya ng bibig gamit ang kaniyang palad."Seriously?! Wait—does that mean..?"I chuckled."My plan is working, Lor.""Omo! Ano ba kasi talaga ang nangyari sa Venesia Island? Tell me!"Inirapan ko siya."Nothing really happened between us, Lor.""Yeah right. Kaya pala blooming ka ngayon? He's now oje of our Investors, right?""He wants to be part of the Board. I guess kakausapin niya ang ibang board members para ipagkatiwala sa kaniya ang shares nila para makapasok siya."Tumango tango siya sa sinabi ko."This is so out of his business. Baka magtaka ang asawa niya?""Fixed marriage ang meron sila. And the way I see it? T
This vacation house is awesome! Tatlong palapag at isang malapad with swimming pool sa rooftop. Puti ang kulay ng labas with black at beige naman ang kulay sa buong loob. Walang touch of wood in every part of the house. Sobrang modern naman ng vacation house niya. Napansin ko rin na napakalinis at halatang may care-taker siya. This house is huge and so nice."Lagi ka ba dito?"Umiling siya."Hindi lagi. Pero nandito ako kapag gusto kong mag-isa.""So this is more like your safe haven?""Yes. I like it here dahil tahimik at malayo sa city.""I agree. Ang sarap tumira dito.""You wanted to live in a place like this?""Of course, yes. Ayokong tumira sa magulo at maingay na lugar. Kaya nga yung kinatitirikan ng bahay ko medyo malayo sa City."He chuckled."Oo. Napansin ko. I like your house, really. That's why i invited you here dahil napansin kong gusto mo ang tahimik na lugar.""I can't think properly kapag magulo at maingay ang paligid ko. My house is my haven.""You're organized too.
His Point of View."Now you're visiting me on my office?"Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata and I just smirked. Niluwagan ko ang neck tie ko dahil pakiramdam ko hindi ako makahinga ng maayos. I really hate neck ties!"Saan ka galing?"I chuckled. Wow. What a question. I'm surprised."Sa bahay ko."Maiksi kong sagot. Naupo ako sa swivel chair ko at nagsimulang isa-isahin ang mga papel na nasa mesa ko."Wala ka sa bahay natin! Buong weekend!"Now, she's angry. Nilapag ko ang hawak kong mga papel at saka siya tinapunan ng tingin. She's furious, I can see that. I know how patient she is for the past months. Hindi siya nagsasalita o ni-confront ako sa mga napapansin niya. I know she's trying to be a good wife or at least a wife to me."That's why I said 'sa bahay ko'."Padabog siyang naglakad palapit sa office table ko at tinukod niya ang dalawang kamay niya doon at masama akong tinignan."You invested at EBC! I saw you with her!"Kumunot ang noo ko. Kaya pala lately, napapansin kong parang l
His Point of View."I heard that you invested at EBC?"Si Daddy ang nagtanong. Sinubo ko ang beef steak na hinanda ni Akeisha na hindi naman masarap. But still, I appreciate the effort. Akeisha doesn't like to cook but she's trying."Yes. It's a good company.""As I heard. It's a good investment. Trying to explore new business?"Tumango ako."Yes. I'm also trying to be one of their board. I'm planning to put EBC Clinic and products in every Sarreign Hotels. Marami sa VIP Clients natin ay Clients din ng EBC.""Really?! That's good. I'm curious about their services and products, actually. Lahat ng mga amigas ko doon nagpupunta. They are eco-friendly, Honey.""That's good."Nakangiting sabi ni Daddy. I smirked."Mommy, Daddy have you seen the EBC CEO?"Si Akeisha ang nagtanong. Napatingin ako sa kaniya. Now, she's trying to put me in the spotlight. I smirked."No, Hija. Have you met the CEO?"Tumango si Akeisha."Yes. She looked exactly like someone I knew.""Really? Who?"Curious na tan
Her Point of View."Miss.. Someone wants to see you.""Who?""Cali. Cali Simson daw po."Napatingin ako kay Koraine."Let her in."Tumango siya at lumabas ng opisina ko. Maya maya pa ay pumasok si Cali na nakahalukipkip. She's wearing an all black outfit tapos turtle neck pa ang top. I smiled at her. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap siya. She hugged me back."You're here.""Dahil wala ka namang balak bisitahin ako."I chuckled."I'm sorry Cali. I was so busy these past fee weeks. I can't even find time for myself."She smirked."Busy. Busy with Carriuz?"Tumawa ako at saka napapailing. Tinuro ko ang couch at kaagad naman siyang naupo and so do I."You look gorgeous!"Nilibot niya ng tingin ang buong opisina ko."And EBC is so huge and so nice!""Thank you. You can always come here, Cali."Inirapan niya ako."I'm busy as fuck. Nakikita mo ba ang suot ko ngayon? I'm in a mission right now.""Mission? Delikado ba 'yan?"Umiling siya saka sumuko."Hindi pa naman. I'm still observing the t
Her Point of View."Miss Estebas! Hindi po namin alam na—""It's okay po. Unplanned visit naman 'to."Isa isa kong tinignan ang mga empleyado sa main branch nitong EBC Clinic namin. "Loosen up. I'm not here to observe. I am here to relax and have some treatments. I badly needed it."Natawa ang Manager sa tinuran ko kaya nginitian ko siya."May bakante ba?""Uhmm.. wala na po sa VIP room, Miss. Merong apat sa regular room."Tumango ako."Ayos na sakin yun. Please prepare it for me.""Miss.. I can booked you in one of our Clinic na malapit dito."Umiling ako."Please.. wag na. Regular room is fine with me. Just prepare it for me.""Yes, Miss."Nginitian ko siya and I patiently waited sa waiting area. May ibang Customer pa ang dumating at naupo rin sa tabi ko and I don't mind. Alam ko rin na napapatingin sila sakin. Siguro namumukhaan nila ako."Miss Estebas, the room is already prepared. Nandoon na rin po si Doctor Mansala.""Thank you, Manager Chiu.""Thank you rin po Miss. Ihahatid k
Her Point of View."Oh my god! You're gorgeous!"I smirked. Rumampa ako sa harap niya at umikot ako. I made a good pose after kong umikot. He chuckled at pumalakpak."Woaaahooh! Ganda talaga ng designs ko! Nagmumukha kang dyosa!"Tumawa ako. I'm wearing a simple body hugged white dress. My long hair is in its curly style. I'm wearing a simple make up. Mukhang long night dress ang suot ko but trust me it's really beautiful. Kanina pa nagsimula ang fashion show at itong huling category lang ako sasabak sa pag rampa. Nakipag-usap na rin ako sa ibang bisita sa Launching ng R. Empress Line. I even saw Carriuz with his wife. We invited Akeisha at isa pa sinabihan ko rin naman si Carriuz na isama ang asawa niya and he said okay. Hindi pa nga lang ako nakakalapit sa kanila dahil marami rin akong nakausap kanina."R. Empress Line is booming like this dress you're wearing, Riza! This dress is called Wildfire.""It suits its name, Lor. I love this!"Inirapan niya ako habang nakangiti."Bruha! La
