"Miss Roxas."
Agad akong napatayo at napatingin kay Prince na nasa harap na pala ng desk ko. Medyo nanlaki ang mata ko pero na-compose ko din ang sarili ko. "S-sir. May kailangan po kayo?"
Napatingin siya sa screen ng desktop ko at nakaramdam ako ng kaba kasi hindi ko na-exit 'yung emails namin ni Jake. Baka mabasa niya 'yung sinabi ni Jake tungkol sa signature ko! "I need you to print me the income for this month. The finance department should've sent it already."
"Opo, sir. Gagawin—"
Ting. Napapikit ako. That was the sound of a new email at alam kong alam din niya 'yun dahil tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.
"Aren't you going to open it?"
Kinagat ko ang labi ko. "M-mamaya nalang po, sir."
"Open it," utos niya at pinagkrus ang mga braso niya.
Tumango ako at binuksan 'yung email. Alam kong nakikita niya kasi patagilid 'yung desktop ko at nasa gilid ko na siya kaya klaro na ang email. Sana lang walang sinabi si Jake na p'wedeng ika-buking ko.

"Susunduin ka niya?" tanong niya at medyo nanibago pa ako kasi hindi siya madalas mag-Tagalog. May konti nga siyang accent, e. Dahil siguro puros English ang madalas niyang ginagamit.
Naiilang na tumango ako. "Yes, sir."
"When?" walang emosyong tanong niya.
"Bukas po," sagot ko.
"You can't go."
Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Po? Sir, hindi po p'wede. Kailangan ko pong pumunta!"
Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "You have to go? It's a requirement?"
