Hi guys! When you scroll the media, that would be Schievvie's photo. :)

Chapter 24

Marvin's Point of View

"Sir it's fifteen minutes after six now and I think we should be on our way to the hotel by now," for the nth time, Schievvie reminds me of the meeting.

Subconsciously ay napakamot ako sa noo ko, I don't know but it became a habit of mine na sa tuwing natetense ay ganito ang nagiging reaksyon ko, alam na alam na rin ito ng aking sekretarya. Because for years na kasama ko siya ay pinakakalma niya ako through the encouraging words she would say para mawala ang tense ko sa katawan.

"Sir can I give you a word?" just like I said, here she goes for her words to calm my spirit.

"Sure Schievvie," I answered without looking at her 'cause I'm busy fixing my tie.

"Can I be honest, Sir?" she asked.

"Yeah," I told her while continuing with what I'm doing.

"Medyo baduy po kasi ang suot niyo ngayon, Sir."

I looked up at her, "Huh?"

Tila nawala ang sense of perception ko sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang ayaw rumehistro nito sa aking isipan.

Yumuko siya, "I'm sorry, Sir."

I waved my hand, "No, no it's okay."

Then I looked at my reflection on the whole body mirror, "Pangit ba talaga?"

"Yes, Sir."

I smile, did I said "encouraging words" earlier?

"Hindi kasi bagay ang kulay lavender na inner long sleeve niyo sa suit niyo, Sir. I think it's better if you would match it with this one," sabi niya sabay hugot ng blue slim-fit striped long-sleeved sa clothes rack ko.

Tumango-tango ako, agreeing with her.

"And then, this blue Slim-Cut Cotton-Twill Trousers would match your Royal Blue Slim-Fit Suit Jacket, matching with a Seven-Fold Jacquard Tie, Sir. And for the shoes, I would recommend this Picadilly Suede Penny Loafers dahil tanging kulay brown lang ang match sa color blue three piece suit."

Literally ay tulala lang ako habang nakayuko sa kanya na inilapag ang sapatos sa tabi ko, kunot ang noo kong nagtanong sa kanya, "Are you really a Business Management graduate, and not a fashion design degree holder?"

She smiles, "Natuto lang ako sa sister ng boyfriend ko, Sir."

I nodded, "Kelan ko ba makikilala yang lucky guy mo, Miss Schievvie?"

"Soon, Sir," she said as she handed me my watch before we left the room.

On our way to the venue, with my driver-cum-bodyguard Kiara , Schievvie and I decided to review the drafts that she had been doing since last week.

Kasalukuyan niyang ipinaliliwanag sa akin ang lahat ng tungkol sa business venture proposal nang biglang prumeno nang malakas si Kiara.

"What happen, Kiara?"

"Sorry Sir, I think there is some sort of vehicle accident in the area."

"What?!"

Napatingin nalang kami ni Schievvie sa isa't isa, then bumaling akong muli kay Kiara, "How long do you think can we make it up to the hotel?"
