Amber
"Hey. Do you need anything?"
Matthew
"Amber? Why did you answer?
Nasaan si Blaire?"
Amber
"Blaire?"
Matthew
(Silence)
Amber
"She said half day na daw sya.
Masama daw pakiramdam.
Pero mukhang hinde naman.
I think she's just embarrassed to what
happened this morning."
Matthew
(Silence)
Natalia
"And.. and I think it's a good thing
that she took home early. Para maisip din nya ginawa nya. Masyado ka maluwag sa kanya kung makasagot sa'yo. She should know her place. And she'll be fine. Um, I can send her to Finance Department tomorrow? Para kasama nya iba intern."
Matthew
"No need. Thanks, Amber."

"I'm really, really sorry.
What you said was true naman talaga.
I've been unprofessional since the beginning.
I'm a brat. And so rude to you just because of
something you did that has nothing to
do with me. I'm sorry." (weeps)

Tapos may kasalanan

It was only a misunderstanding
I'm sorry I raised my voice."

(Silence)
Blaire
"Is it not allowed to
received flowers at the office?"

"Basta bawal. Nakaka-distract
sa trabaho."

"Hinde naman ako na-distract eh."
