I'm Yours ( Book 1 )

Chapter 29

Jema.

While waiting sa mga Smart people,  nagpatimpla muna kami ng kape kay Jenny.

Then nag compare ng mga notes about sa Smart company and yung proposal kung pano sya i-broadcast sa mainstream media.

Since hawak ni Deanna itong account, mas kilala nya yung mga bosses ng Smart dahil nakausap nya na ang mga ito.

"If they agree with our proposal, we would be hitting our target for the first quarter and it's only February.  Kaya galingan natin.," pang pep talk ni ma'am Fhen.

We all turned around ng pumasok na si Jenny kasunod ang isang babae at isang lalaki.

Deanna introduced us first to the woman, Ms. Jhoana Maraguinot, the Smart Manager.  Then to Mr. Cy Malonjao, the assistant manager.

"Nice to meet you Fhen and Jema.  Please call me Jho.  This is Cy.", we shook hands.

Namukhaan ko agad yung Jhoana.  Eto yung kausap ni Deanna nung nasa Rebisco party kami. 

She's pretty, halos magkasing tangkad lang kami.  She looks professional sa kanyang business attire.  Nakangiti sya kay Deanna habang pinapakilala.

Then she looked at me.  Huh, parang may something sa mga tingin nya sakin.  Kinikilatis rin ata ako.

Si Mr. Malonjao naman, pogi din pero napakatahimik at ang tipid ngumiti.

After the introduction, we all sat down and get on with the meeting.

Deanna stood up and present to us the concept.

"All of us demand a mobile,  reliable and confidential communications,  which Smart company has been providing already.  But we know that people will demand more."

"We created an advertising concept for MyLine.  Your MyLine is an operating system technology which is clean, elegant and maintainable.  But if you want an unlimited success, you got to advertise like this;

"You can now surf the net and get phone calls no matter where.  In the office, in a plane,  while playing golf or wherever you are on earth.  Switch to MyLine, it will do it all for you."

We explained in details yung gusto naming gawin.  Tumayo din ako to add more information.

I noticed that Deanna and Ms. Maraguinot are exchanging glances.  They didn't know I was observing them closely. 

Naalala ko tuloy yung time na nasa party kami.  She was in between Deanna's thigh.  Damn.

Lakas ng appeal Wong?

It took us an hour to finish the presentation.  I think they were impressed.  They suggested some revisions but overall, it was approved, signed and sealed.

"That was an excellent idea.  Hindi nga kami nagkamali ng pagpili sa company ninyo.  Specially you Deans", sabi ni Ms. Maraguinot habang nakikipagkamay sa amin.

Deans?  Ganun na sila ka close?

"Maybe we can celebrate this with a dinner?  What can you say Jho?," tanong ni Deanna sa kanya sabay tingin sa akin.

Aba at sa harap ko pa talaga nagyaya ng dinner huh.  Mag dinner kayong dalawa.

"Why not, I'm free tonight.  How about you Cy?,  tanong nya kay Mr. Malonjao.

"Yes, I'm free too.", matipid na sagot nung Cy.  Ang laki ng katawan pero ang liit ng boses.

"Great.  Let's say 7pm at the Japanese restaurant around the corner lang from here.", sabi ni Deanna.
