Baby & Love? (COMPLETE)

Chapter 8

Natuwa sya sa ibinalita ng kaibigan.

"Great! Sino naman itong 'reliable someone' na ito?"

"He is originally our client, he plans to re-construct a building and develop a greenhouse in Baguio at dito sya lumapit through Mr. Christianson. He said that during their talks, Mr. Christianson inserted Soriaga and that they have better and new equipments and plus if he would sign in with Soriaga, they will be giving him a huge discount which means a lower price to pay." paliwanag ni Vic.

Napahigpit ang kanyang hawak sa fountain pen na kanina ay nilalaro-laro nya sa kamay.

"Your day will soon come, Mr. Christianson...I'll just have to schedule it..." and finally gave Vic a thankful smile. "I told you to just join CIA..."

"I don't have to go through it, what I have is a gift. Isa pa I won't be doing this if not for the throne to be vacated soon." he laughed.

"It's all yours for the taking because I will schedule a meeting with that plonker and discuss with him his exit from Decerna Builders."

"Good boy! Pero hindi ba't mas sweet ang exit kung caught in the act sya?"

Mas napangiti sya sa ideya nito.

"You're good! So how do we do it Mr. Brilliant?"

"Through that 'reliable someone' ofcourse! His name is Tom de la Victoria, he cooperated with me when I told him he could be a good help for us. And the man was nice; he knows that what Mr. Christianson was doing was not right. He said he planned to talk to another representative from us so he went here looking for anybody except for Mr. Christianson and so we met."

"I have to meet him..." may pilit syang inalala sa apilyedo nito na de la Victoria. But when he couldn't remember it, he quited.

"You will...tomorrow. Sasama ka sa akin sa Baguio."

Nagulat sya sa sinabi nito.

"What? No..." umiling-iling sya.

"Ano'ng 'no?'...Dy alangan namang sya pa ang papuntahin natin dito? Mahiya ka naman sa tao."

"Just tell him we will pay him huge for his cooperation, or give him a big discount." walang kainte-interes sa pag-akyat ng Baguio na sabi nya.

"May plans ka ba tomorrow, Dy?"

"Not that I have any, I just don't want to travel..." dahilan nya.

You just don't want to go anywhere and leave Ziggy, right Dy?

Yes! Because he will flirt with her a little more. He knows she is already falling for him.

Just a push and she will be mine!

He smiled.

Nahihiwagaang nakatitig lang si Vic sa kanyang mukha.

"You're queer!" anito.

Sinimangutan niya ang kaibigan.

"I mean literally queer!" he said and laughed.

Sa U.S. kasi ang gamit nila sa queer ay 'gay' at iyon ang madalas nilang asaran na tatlo ni Rafael noon.

Tumunog na naman ulit ang intercom nya.

"Sir nandito po ngayon si Ms. Ziggy Roman." Pagpapa-alam ng secretary nya.

While wondering what Ziggy was doing here he pressed the intercom and spoke.

"Send her in Sally." sabi nya. Natitilihan sya bigla na tumayo but then if he would stand, Ziggy might think that he was excited about her coming, so he sat again.
