Setting: Hotel Parking Lot.
Cedrick went up to the Robredo's room and knocked.

Tricia opened the door.

Cedrick: Hi love. (Looking at her gf, he paused and smiled.)

Tricia: Hi love. Oh bat ka naghang.

Cedrick: Wala, ang ganda ganda mo kasi. Appreciating the beauty in front of me lang.

Tricia slapped Cedrick on the shoulder.

Cedrick: Aray...

Tricia: Natauhan na???

Cedrick smiled to his girl while rubbing his shoulder kasi masakit yung slap.

Jill: Ahem...

Aika: Baka langgamin yung kwarto dahil sa inyo ha.

(Maam Leni laughing in the background)

Cedrick: Hi po tita, ate aiks! Hi Jill. Ready to go na po ba.

Jill: yes!!!! Ready na ako sa treat!

Cedrick: Alright alright.. Let's go to the car na po.

They went to the car and started to drive to the restaurant.

Jill: Uy Cedrick, baka naman. Briefing mo muna kami kung sino makikilala namin mamaya.

Aika: Ay oo. Nagresearch yung iba diyan kagabi, late na natulog.

Tricia: (Staring at her sisters intensely) Kayo talaga, pahamak kayo as in.

Cedrick chuckled. Nac cucute - tan sa girlfriend niya.

Cedrick: Well you're gonna meet my sister, Astrid and my brother, Caesar.
Si Astrid is a lawyer gaya ni tita Leni, top of her class at Harvard. Ka alumni mo ate Aiks hehe. She is currently a corporate lawyer in JP Morgan and established many organizations under her name as well mainly focusing in providing free consultation and services to abused workers. While my brother, he's a businessman. Graduated at Harvard Business School earlier than expected and since then, he started multiple start ups na.

Jill: Ilang taon na kuya mo Cedrick?

Cedrick: Kasing edad sila ni ate Aiks.

Leni: Ahem ahem. Pareho pala kayong Harvard Alumni Aiks.

Tricia: Oo nga ate, ikaw na bahala sa conversation later ha hehehe.

Aika: Ay wag ako Patricia, mga in - laws mo yan. Ikaw mag entertain.

The whole drive was filled with humor, laughter, asaran and catching up.

Secretary Jay: Ummm, sir the president of the other company is calling you. (Handing out another phone)

Caesar: (Reached out for the phone) Hello

Mr. President: Caesar, what is this! Not going to the meeting. This has been planned months ago.

Caesar: I have an urgent meeting to attend to.

Mr. President: No! You better go to that meeting now!

Caesar: Or what?

..... Awkward Silence ......

Caesar: Mr. President, have you taken it to account that your company is the one who needs help and not mine?

Mr. President: ahhhh. Caesar. I was ....(Worried voice)

Caesar: I really value my time Mr. President. And you're kinda wasting it. So if you will only say useless words, better drop this call right now.

Mr. President: I'm sorry sir.. ahhh.. Hope you have a nice trip. We will reschedule the event as you have said.

Caesar: Good. (Ends the conversation)

Secretary: And there goes another president, speechless.

Caesar: How far are we? (Reading Filipino Dictionary)

Driver: 10 mins and we will be there sir.

Secretary: You're learning their language?

Caesar: Yeah, never hurts to know more rather than knowing less. (Smiling as if he has a plan on his mind)
