TRISHA grits her teeth as she looked at the closed elevator door with jealousy. Paano nangyaring may hawak na card ang mga McGregor?

Since the last time they saw each other at the party, pinapalawig pa nito ang koneksyon simula ng mawala sa mga ito ang isang kompanyang hawak.

The card itself is mystifying. Kahit ang directors ng iba't ibang department at maging mga investors ay walang hawak.

Only the core members, the geniuses all over the world, the makers of their products in the technology industry can only have it.

Charlotte, who only have an average grades dares to have the card?! Napakaimposible. Or does she know the owner?

With that in mind, mas lalo pa siyang nagselos. Mag-iisang taon na siyang nagtatrabaho ngunit ni anino ng may-ari ay hindi pa niya nakita.

At ng maalalang buntis ang babae mas lalo pa siyang nadismaya. Yung boss ba niya ang ama ng bata?

Tinignan niya ang mga katrabaho, maging ang mga ito ay nagulat. Madalas ang nakikita lang nila sa designated elevator are the usual nerds na may salamin.

Ito ang kauna unahang may babaeng pumasok dito. Bigla silang bumalik sa kanya kanyang ginawa ng makita ang assitant ng boss nila na si Sean.


"HAVE you seen a pregnant lady here?" hingal na tanong niya. Saka lumingon sa kakasarang elevator.

Late na niyang nabasa ang text ni Charlotte. They had an on going meeting at busy siya sa tabi ng secretary ng boss niya na gumagawa ng minutes of the meeting.

Their boss has three secretaries and all of them were women. One is assigned for the schedules and calls for their boss. Another is for the meetings inside and outside. Lastly, ay in charge sa pag organize ng mga documents na dapat pirmahan ng boss nila.

Silang tatlo ay hawak niya. Dumadaan ang lahat sa kanya, at siya na mismo ang mag aakyat ng nga dokumento para pirmahan ng boss nila.

No wonder he saw their boss smile as he read the content of his phone. Maging ang mga board ay nagulat sa pinakitang emosyon ng CEO nila.
Marahil ay tinext ito ng dalaga.

"Umakyat na po." sagot ng receptionist sa harap. Hindi nakaligtas sa kanya ang emosyong dumaan dito.

He hummed in reply. Being the assistant of their boss, he learned to know the emotions and read the people.

Babalik na sana siya sa taas ng hawakan siya ng babae. Napakunot noo siya nang mahigpit siyang pinigilan nito.

"Why does she have a card? Kilala ko ang babaeng yun. She is nothing but a brat. Even their family business, they are not into technology. Paanong nandito sila?"

"Mind your own business. Go back to your work." kunot noo at malamig na sagot niya saka tinalikoran ito.

Alam niyang maraming nagkakagusto sa amo nila, marahil isa ang babae sa mga naghahabol dito.

Hindi na nakita ni Sean ang poot sa mukha ng babae dahil tumalikod na ito at nagmamadaling bumalik sa elevator.



DAMIEN drummed his fingers at the table as he waits impatiently. Gusto niyang sundoin si Charlotte but it is out of his character.

He looked again at the elevator door downstairs. Kahit may glass wall na harang, kitang kita niya ang nangyayari sa baba.

He was excited when he received her message. Its been days since the last time he saw her.

He even cut their meeting just to meet her personally. Since it will be her first time in his office, gusto niyang makasama ito. He can't let go of the opportunity.

He plan to gradually build their feelings. It is not like that he love the woman. He just can't let her go since she is the very first woman he is interested with and no repulse o whatsoever. He even felt a sense of possessiveness for her.

According to his research, everything starts with being an acquaintances, then to friends, if interested might turn into couples then to married lovers.

He saw the elevator lights up and moments later, a beautiful and pregnant woman alighted from the elevator and two men behind her back.

Napakunot noo siya ng makitang may kasama ang dalaga. Lumapit ito sa isa sa mga staff niya marahil ay nagtanong.

Maya maya pa ay tumingin ito sa taas, specifically in his area. He is confident that she can't see him looking at her.

The glass wall he has in his office is an automated one. May remote na pinipindot kung gusto niyang makita ang mga tao sa labas at hindi nakikita sa loob ay nagagawa niya. Meron ding, nag fafog ito hindi kita ang labas at loob for privacy purposes. At pang huli ay clear transparent na kita ang labas at loob.

The automated glass is a product of their company. Thanks to his staffs downstairs na naging kaibigan na niya rin.

It was his idea and the project was made together with the team. Ang ilan ay sa robotics ang forte at kasalukuyang gumagawa ng robot.

He waited as he saw them walking upstairs. Nakita na niya ang mga kasama nito. One is her father and the other one he assume is a lawyer.

He knows them dahil may kaakibat na mga pictures ang mga taong nakapalibot sa dalaga ng nagpa imbistiga siya.

He familiarize himself with the faces because he have this gut feeling that he will frequently meet them in the future if he continue to pursue Charlotte.

He saw her raised her hand as she was about to knock at the glass door so he immediately press the control to open the door.

Nabasa niya sa mukha ng tatlo ang pagkamangha.

"Hi Damien, I am with my father and our lawyer dahil sila ang mas may alam sa negosyo. I trust them so you could talk to them about our cooperation." bati agad ng dalaga sa kanya.

Tumayo agad siya at nakipagkamay sa mga ito. Inaya niya ang mga ito na umupo.

He look at Charlotte dahil wala itong balak umupo sa halip walang kyeme na nilibot nito ang buong opisina niya.

"Hello Mr. Montreal, it is a pleasure to meet the man behind the DM Group" ang nakangiting bati sa kanya ni Mr. McGregor.

"Psh! You don't need to bootlick him dad. Siya ang may gustong makipag cooperate sa atin." Charlotte said as she rolled her eyes. He saw her father glares at her.

He chuckled at her antics. She is the same as what the report says. Ginagawa kung ano ang gusto.

Napansin niyang nagtagal ang dalaga sa isang wall. Marahil ay tinitignan nito ang ginagawa sa ibaba.

You can see from that wall ang fully equip area ng robotics. Diyan din siya lately naglalagi.

It is their current project, a butler robot na sumusunod sa gusto ng amo. The uniqueness of this one ay kaya itong mag adjust ayon sa personality ng amo nito.

He is currently working with a chip na continuously nagdedevelop at naggo grow base on the live interactions between the owner and the robot.
