THE DEAL

TD- 61

She was busy tapping her pen on the table while her Marketing Department Head was presenting something to her. Vice giggled, "Nakikinig ka ba?"

She looked at him and nodded, "Mukha ba akong bingi?"

"Mukha kang hindi nakikinig." he answered.

She just shook her head and checked her phone, "Tsk."

Dawn looked at her now pissed off face, "Lea, he's on a meeting. And you are, too."

"Naputulan ba siya ng kamay? Bakit hindi man lang siya makapag-text sa akin?"

Vice laughed and pinched her side, "Ang arte mo. Big girl ka na." he teased, "Kung maka-emote ka diyan parang hindi naman kayo magkasama buong gabi."

She frowned again, "Hindi mo kasi alam 'yong feeling porket sanay kang walang kasama matulog."

"Hoy, below the belt ka tumira, ah! Inaano ka ba?" Vice answered and moved a bit away from her.

She laughed, "Sorry. But seriously, I miss him already.

"Okay, guys, let's stop this presentation already. Lumalantong 'tong CEO niyo. Wala siya sa huwisyo." Vice announced which made the employees laughed.

Lea just smiled and looked at her hand, "Continue the presentation. This is just a natural phenomena; happening to a wife, missing her husband."

--

It was lunch time when the presentation ended. He opened his phone to call his wife.

He smiled. It is just so overwhelming to call her his wife. After several years, he gets to call her again, his own, his wife. He smiled, he's sure he's not going to let her go again. No mater what.

On the third ring, she picked it up with her  cold voice, "Yeah?"

He smirked, "I miss you, too."

"Tumawag ka kapag may kwenta na 'yong sasabihin mo."

He laughed, "May kwenta."

She rolled her eyes and ended the call. This is her husband, pissing her off and joking around as if she's kidding, too.

"Ay, binabaan ako." he told himself. "Galit nga."

He hurriedly went to her office to make it up to his wife. He smiled again, he loves to call her that way.

Her employees greeted him happily, teasing him with the stuff he has with him.

He entered her office and saw her talking to someone through phone. She has her back facing him. She was wearing her body-hugging red dress with her 3-inch chunky heels. Her dress was fitted enough for her curves to show off.

He smiled and carefully entered the office. Careful not to make a sound. He placed the pizza and the cup of her favorite coffee on top of her table. He walked towards her and hugged her from behind, encircling her around his arms.

Lea rolled her eyes. Of course, she knows who it was. She continued speaking.

Aga sniffed her shoulders and smiled. He felt that she startled a bit. His wife's weakness.

She slightly pinched his hand and glared at him. He softly chuckled.

"Ah, yes, Sir-- I'll, uhm--" she gulped when she felt Aga's lips on her bare shoulder up to the base of her neck. She pinched him again and glared at him.

He smiled and stopped for a while but went back to doing it again when she started to speak again.

"I'll send my recruitment team to--" she gulped and bit her lips, "--to meet yours. On M-Monday, yeah."
