Into Your Mind

Chapter 8: "Hey, come here"

Ken's POV

I arrived at the conference room earlier than my colleagues. It is always my duty to be early since I don't want others to say something off about me.

"Marga, grab me a coffee please. To my desk. Thank you" I instructed my secretary to do so since I don't have anything to do yet so it's better to spend my lax time drinking my favorite blend of coffee.

I stood by the large window of this conference room. I saw the busy streets of the metro. My hotel is standing at the heart of the city so we are currently at the midst of this bustling streets.

Minutes have passed when Marga knocked at the door, "Sir, ito na po yung coffee niyo"

I nodded without turning around. Just before she leaves the room, I asked, "Where did Rita go yesterday?"

"Uhmm Sir hindi ko po napansin eh pero nung kinagabihan naman po, nakita ko po siyang sumakay ng elevator paakyat po so baka po nasa unit lang po niya"

"Ah okay. So wala ba siyang balak bumaba eh magsisimula na ang meeting anytime soon once na magsidatingan na yung mga members ng board"

I swayed my head in dismay. How unprofessional.

I thought Marga had already left the room when she suddenly spoke, "Sir naman kasi. Nakipagmatigasan ka pa kasi kahapon, malamang nagtampo na yung asawa niyo"

"Marga? Sinong may sabing asawa ko yung babaeng yun ha?"

"Ay sorry po Sir. Nabanggit lang po ni Sir King kanina pero hehe ito na po lalabas na po ako ng room at wala po kayong narinig mula sa akin, diba Sir? Babye po Sir. Yung kape inumin niyo na po habang mainit pa" then she suddenly slipped out of the room, with her head down. With what she said, I bet she's ashamed now.

I reached for my phone inside my pocket and dialled King's number.

"King, pare. Saan ka?"

"Ahmm chilling sa loob ng unit mo. Bakit pare?"

"Andyan ba siya sa unit niya?"

"Hmmm sino pare?"
