Binaba ko ang aking phone at tinignan ang labas. It was pouring heavy rain, the sky was very gloomy.

Niyakap ko ang aking braso at nagtungo sa malawak na bintana. Traffic was jammed even in the heavy rain.

I jump in shock when someone place their hand on my arms.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

Tumango ako.

Kinuha niya ang coat sa kanyang upoan at  nilagay ito sa aking balikat.

"Better?" He asked.

I nod. "Thanks..."

Pumasok ang sekretarya niya sa loob. Tumikhim siya at nag iwas ng tingin.

"Sir, your meeting will start five minutes from now."

"I'll be there."

Tumango ang kanyang secretarya at lumabas. Huhubadin ko na sana ang kanyang coat at baka gamitin niya ito nang umiling siya. He kissed my cheek.

"I'll be back before lunch..."

Tumango ako.

I sat down on his swivel chair when he leaves his office. Nakita ko ang mga signed contract sa lamesa. I look at his penmanship and his sign.

Out of boredom I tried his signature. Pero sa ika limang subok ko hindi ko ito makopya. I give up and trow the paper on his trash can.

Binuksan ko ang kanyang laptop at nagtungo sa kanyang netflix.

Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng panonood ng makarinig ng kaguluhan sa labas. I heard loud voices but I didn't understand what it was.

I decided to stood up and check it. In every step my heels were making a sound that the people outside became silent. When I pulled the door open I saw someone's back running towards the elevator.

Nilingon ko ang secretarya ni Troy.

"What happen?"

"Yung babae po, bumalik nanaman."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya at nilingon ulit ang babae. Nahagip ko ang yellow niyang dress ng papasara na ang elevator, but I didn't saw her face.

"bakit daw?"

"gusting makausap si sir. Thorn ma'am."

Nanatili akong tamihik at tinignan ang elevator. I turned to his secretary and smiled before going inside his office.

Thorn went back at exactly twelve in the afternoon. Sumulyap siya sa labas at nakitang wala nang ulan. He check his watch.

"Lest go? Do you have any restaurant in mind?"

"Ikaw bahala."

Tumango siya. He snaked hi arm on my back at inakay ako palabas ng opisina niya. Dumaretso kami sa basement at agad kong nakita ang kanyang sedan. He open the car door for me.

Ng nasa tapat na kami ng restu biglang lumakas ang buhos ng ulan. Kinuha niya ang payong sa backseat at lumabas bago ako pinagbuksan. He hugged my body and moved it closer against him so I won't get wet.

Kinuha ng valet ang paying ng nasa tapat na kami ng pinto pinagpagan ko ang tubig sa coat. pumasok na kami habang inaayos ko ang coat niya sa akin.

"Table for two,"he said.

The waiter lead us to the table. I place my purse on my lap when I was sited. He sat in front of me and scan the menu.

"Yours madam?"
