Okay lang, so ayun na nga nag-memeetingnakami para sa event ni Je- Jack

okay then, that's it. i'll let you know kung saan ang venue pagna-finalize na. Thank you and now, go to work

(Until he finished his orientation, he never looked at Abi. Abi on the other hand ignored his coldness, tries to catch his eyes if he's staring at her but he isn't)

(Biting her lips, while holding the mop handle she took a deep breath, wiped her hands on her black apron, she leaned the mop on the wall and walked slowly towards Noah who is busy with his laptop)

si...sir Noah coffee munapo kayo- Abi (shaking hands, she reached a mug of hot coffee to Noah, who doesn't seem to care)

(with at least 30 seconds of ignorance from him)

ahh...ilalagay ko nalang po dito sa table niyo sir

(placing the mug on the table, in front of Noah, who is busy typing and wouldn't engage still in Abi's small talk)

si...sigepo sir (she turned around and went back to mop the floor once more)

(Noah stood up, folded his lap top, and called Robert, their restaurant supervisor)

Robert! Robert!

sir!? yespo sir?

aalis muna ako, call me if something comes up okay?

okay sir...ah sir coffee niyopo?

i don't drink coffee...sayonalang, if ayaw mo throw it away

sigepo sir (confused)

oh and by the way...remind your crew to not talk to me whenever i'm in front of my computer, unless it's very important but if not? don't waste my time

opo sir, noted

(Abi saw it, but tried to understand him from a far though it pained her over and over again how much Noah despised her)

"but Manoah, no amount of cold treatment from you would let the heat of my love died just like that, even if I try I just can't. that's how much love i have for you that until now, i can't escape it i guess i don't even want to in the first place kayai'm still here, stuck, kahitnadapatnuon pa umalisnako, andito parin ako, waiting kung kailan mokakausapinulit, accepting kung ano lang ang kaya mong ibigay...i don't exactly know what i want from you now but one thing is for sure, i need forgiv...." - Abigail

Abigail!- Robert (shouting)

narinigmoyun? 

yes sir...narinig ko po (Robert's shout burst Abi's bubble of thoughts)

alam ko kung ano binabalakmo. kung gusto mong akitinsi sir Noah tigilan mo na

ha? sir?

i know what you're doing Abigail, mgakagayamong social climber madalingmaamoy. kunghindilangdahilkay sir Jack?inalisnakitadito...i'm watching you Abi

(Confused and processing everything that transpired, Abigail did nothing but nod in agreement to dismiss the conversation with her supervisor)

(Robert, is actually Maegan's close gay friend. He's very loyal to Maegan and believes that Noah and Maegan will end up together. He also has insecurities to those who are better than him, thus he has his own jealousy towards Abigail because he secretly admires Jack who is obviously fond of mysterious Abigail)
