"I told you, he's obsessed with you," Maura laughed.

"I think I should cease our hookups. I don't like his clingy attitude. He's so sweet even in public," I said while brushing my hair accordingly inside Ringvo's office.

We have a meeting later with the group of doctors. Dalawang araw ko nang hindi pinapansin ang mga tawag ni Ruiz sa Pilipinas. I'm cool, but I don't like receiving any messages and calls from him.

"If your relationship is becoming toxic, you should end the fucking-era, Al. You often fight and it's not good. Hindi ko na kayo susuportahan kung hindi na kasing healthy ng last patient ko ang relasyon niyo," seryosong advice ni Maura habang nagbibilang ng gramo ng isang gamot.

"He'll get even angrier," I heaved a sigh and inclined my butts on the side of the table. "But yeah, I think we should work on our relationship to make it better. We're working together and I don't want us to always fight over petty things. I'll tell him I want a pure friendship with no other favors."

"Ruiz is good-looking, many girls would be interested in hooking up with him! You two are just crazy over your libidos!"

Natawa ako dahil mukhang tama nga siya roon.

"Let me ask," ibinaba niya ang hawak at mapang-asar akong tiningnan. "Do you perform fellatio on him?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "Of course not!"

"You do not do it to him?!"

"I don't! Stop asking me that!" I stood up straight.

"Wow! You must be kidding!"

She pushed me if I really do it with Ruiz but I gave her my honest answer. I never really did it, even though Ruiz tried to persuade me. He can never make me kneel down.

Nauna ako sa boardroom. I sat in a swivel chair and faced the large glass window. Tanaw mula rito ang nagkalat na mga gusali ng Los Angeles. I'm alone because it was too early for the said meeting time. They still have one hour left. Nauna lang talaga ako because I will review what I am going to say.

I received a call from Patreon.

"Look who's there in Los Angeles," he chuckled.

Marahan kong pinaikot ang aking upuan at sumandal.

"Me?"

"You're there while I'm already back in Manila. How can we have a dinner if we're always in different places?"

Pagod akong pumikit. "Maybe some other time again. I'll be back in two weeks. Saan ka naman dedestino ngayon?"

"Wala. I'll be at the hospital. We don't have another medical mission scheduled. By the way, how are you and Ruiz? I noticed Ruiz has been very busy these days."

"Uh-huh. Because we're reopening and renovating. He's busy with work there. From issuing constructions permits and talking to engineers and architects to dealing with government regulations and conditions for the hospital, and many, many more."

He chuckled. "You are both hard workers, Dr. Alegna. By the way, I'm busy. So I guess, I'll wait for your comeback?"

"Okay. I have something to tell you about FMH as well."

Dumating ang mga doktor para sa meeting. Nakipagbatian ako sa mga batikang doktor na matagal nang nagseserbisyo sa hospital na ito.

I started the meeting by presenting my proposal in front.
