Call from Matthew's office to Blaire
11:15am

Blaire
"Yes, Mr. Decuesta?"

Matthew
"You did good  sa meeting
today, Ms. Dreviosa. "

Blaire
"Thank you. "

Matthew
"You're doing something right now?"

Blaire
"Uh, yes. Draft for the proposal
you asked me to handle."

Matthew
"Oh? Samahan mo muna ako."

Blaire
"Uuuh, wheeere?"

Matthew
"You sound suspicious."

Blaire
"Because you sound sus."

Matthew
"Ano?"

Blaire
(In a much louder voice)
"I said 'cause you sound sus."

Matthew
(Silence)

Blaire
"Sus? Suspicious."

Matthew
(Murmurs: Tangina kung ano ano mga kabataan)
"And why do I sound...sus?"

Blaire
"Because you want me to go with you."

Matthew
"Just wanna ask your opinion."

Blaire
"About what?"

Matthew
"We'll go to my other office at Narileoma Mod Furniture. I'll look into new collection of our furniture."

Blaire
"Okay?"

Matthew
"At para na rin mas malawak ang
pag intern mo and not be cooped
up here."

Blaire
"I'm fine here din naman. Or because your secretary's not here. How many days sya leave?

Matthew
"Leave for 3 days.
Visiting her parents."

Blaire
"Ba't 'di ka sumama?"

Matthew
"Ba't ako sasama?"

Blaire
"She invited you, 'no?
Tapos you rejected her 'cause
maybe she wanted you to meet
her parents. Correct?"

Matthew
"Manghuhula ka ba?"

Blaire
"Was I correct?"

Matthew
"Yes."

Blaire
"Oh! Ang galing ko!"
(Laughs)

Blaire
"I'm pretty sure she's just
waiting for you to make
her your girlfriend."

Matthew
"Is that what you think?"

Blaire
"What I think doesn't matter
for it is not my business."

Matthew
"Then what's your opinion
about it?"

Blaire
(Silence)

Blaire
"I don't like her."
