Too many paper works.......left and right meetings with investors, where keeping Jade busy, she even forget to take her break.
Then she notice her phone beep for incoming message.
When she open it, her smile automatically creep out.

Before Jade could reply Althea's message, the door of her office open.

"Jade?" Interrupted Ellaine, popping her head at the slight door opening in Jade's office.

"Yes Ellaine?" Answering without looking at her secretary, still eyes on her cellphone.

"David is in line two, reminding you, your lunch date with him?" Informing Jade

"Oh shoot I forgot....I'll take it here Ellaine, thank you." Jade Scraping the documents on the side searching for the phone in her table.

"Okay then." Ellaine shaking her head...knowing Jade, unable to remember anything if she's occupied with work.

"Hello?" Jade, greet David relief that she finally found the phone under the stacks of papers in her table.

"Hi hon, don't forget our lunch date okay? See you at your favorite Chinese restaurant."

"Wait....I thought you will pick me up?" Jade is now confuse.

"Well, that supposed to be the plan but I thought it will save time and effort if we just meet there instead.....right? And to avoid traffic as well." Reasoned David.

"What?!.......never mind, okay.....see you there!" Feeling irritated, disappointed and a bit angry, Jade put down the phone.

This is what she hates about David, being inconsiderate sometimes.....the thought that this 'lunch together' is his idea.
Jade just take a deep breath to calm her nerves......she has no choice but to give way.
Sometimes she question herself why did she say 'Yes' to David to become her boyfriend.

Jade just continue walking until she's nearing the table David occupied.
As Jade getting closer David instantly sees Jade, the young man smile and wave to his girlfriend.

"Hi sorry I was kind of late, you know traffic." Explain Jade.

"It's okay Hon, seat down." David pointed to the chair beside the woman his talking to.

But before Jade could seat down, the woman stand instantly and pull out the chair for the young Tanchinco.
When the woman look up to assist the young heiress she was surprise.

"Jade?"

They both said spontaneously, with astonishment daubed in their faces.

"You know each other?" David ask with amazement.

"Ye...s...yes, Althea is our Senior Architect in TGC." Still a little bet baffled, why his boyfriend know Althea.

"Really?" David looking at Althea.

"Wait.....wait, how do you know each other?" Jade interjected, still confuse.
