Richard's POV
All my life that I am working, ngayon lang ako nainip sa pagdating 5:00 pm para makauwi na ako. I am too excited to go home now and it gave me much motivation to work. Medyo marami na akong naiwang trabaho because we prioritized the wedding but I was able to finish all that in my first day at work after I got married.
Ano kaya ang magandang pasalubong kay Celestine, ayoko namang tanungin si Meng because for sure tatangihan nya lang yun at sasabihin pang spoiler ako.
"Sir, nandito po si sir Mike may kasamang client" my secretary said from the intercom. I told her to let them in kasi alangan naman hindi ko papasukin eh client yun. Eto namang si Mike hindi man lang sinabing may dadalhin palang kliyente dito sa opisina ko, alas kwatro na ng hapon, hindi dapat magtagal ang mga taong ito sa opisina ko, because I need to go home at exactly five in the afternoon dahil bibili pa ako ng pasalubong kay Celestine. Next time yata kailangan ko nang sabihin sa secretary ko na dapat hanggang three pm lang ako pwedeng istorbohin nga mga client na basta-basta na lang sumusulpot nang walang appointment.
"Good afternoon sir Richard" Mike greeted as they enter in my office with someone with a very authoritative aura, maybe of the same height as I am. Pwede kaming pagkamalang magkamag-anak ng lalaking ito ah. Hindi kaya distant relative ko 'to?
"Good afternoon Mike" I replied
"Sir, apologies for the abrupt meeting. Mr. Ledesma met with Sir Ricky a while ago and I was instructed to introduce him to you too. Sir, please meet Mr. Ledesma, over-all incharge of the telco company that we wish to work on. He is here for an ocular visit in our office. Mr. Ledesma please meet Mr. Richard Faulkerson, Jr. our company COO" Mike said
"Pleased to meet you Mr. Ledesma, welcome to our humble office" I said and offer my hand for a hand shake and he accepted it
"Pleasure is mine Mr. Faulkerson, like what Mike have said, I'm sorry for this sudden meeting, this is just part of our evaluation on to whom shall we grant the project on our office construction here in the Philippines" Mr. Ledema replied
"No problem, I'm glad to finally meet you. Have a seat" I said
"I hope your visit did not disappoint you Mr. Ledesma, and eventually award the project to our competitors" I said
"I am honestly impressed. By the way, just call me Patrick, that's how my collegues call me" he said. Bakit ba kasi napacommon ng pangalang Patrick at hanggang dito sinusundan ako ng anino ng ex ng asawa ko.
"Ok Patrick, you may call me Richard then. Mabuti na lang Filipino ka rin, we won't have a hard time communicating" I replied
"Maybe that is the reason why I was chosen to be in-charge in this project. Anyway, the decision on to whom shall we award the project will be out by next week, kung ako lang I would award it to your team. Mike were able to provide everything that we need" Patrick said
"Great to hear that. When did you arrive in Manila?" I said
"Just last Monday and I went straight to work, I need to finish this evaluation of the companies so we could start the project quickly" he replied
"Sir, the team is planning to go out after office hours with Patrick, you may join us if you want. I checked with your secretary, wala ka naman nang meeting after this" Mike said
"I guess I have to excuse myself for now Mike, I need to go home early today, but thank you for the invitation" I said
"Oppss, sorry sir I forgot na bagong kasal ka nga pala, pasensya na po sir" Mike said
