My Fake Boyfriend

Chapter 21: Dinner Date with who?

**after 1week**

Shia's POV

After I arrived from vacation, Josh informed me about everything. The reason why I have to come back is because my assumption was right. HarleyQueen was trying to purchase our company. I knew for the fact that their business was the leading publishing company within the country. Josh started the business 6years ago. And for the past 5 years that I am working with them, I had noticed the rapid progress of our company. 

Muntikan na akong madapa habang patakbong papasok ng pintuan ng building. Ang malas ko naman dahil pagbaba ko palang ng kotse ay nasira na ang heels ko. Damn! I manage to enter the building pero nahihirapang maglakad. 

"good mornin Ms. Stanford." bati sakin ni Rhaze na nasa reception area. 

"mornin' Rhaze." napahawak ako sa table nito tsaka hinubad ang heels ko habang pilit na nakangiti sa kanya. This is ridiculous. 

Lalo pa't natatawa ang ibang empleyado na nakatingin sakin. Katawa-tawa naman talaga ang sitwasyon ko ngayon. 

"what happened to your heels? Oh my God, I'm sorry." she lean forward seeing my situation. "I have an extra sandal right here, would you like to try them, see if it fits on you?"

"sure, thank you. I'll use them instead of walking around barefooted." I sighed. 

"by the way, you have a meeting in about 5minutes right? I've seen Mr. Jackson earlier, and I think he's in a bad mood right now. So, good luck." Rhaze while handing me her pair of sandals. 

I groaned slumping my shoulders and walked towards the elevator. Hawak ko parin ang heels ko, habang nasa loob na ng elevator. Narinig ko pang natawa ang ibang nakasabay ko sa loob. Pasara na ang pintuan ng elevator ng meron akong nakitang familiar na mukha na napadaan. Nakasuot sya ng suit at merong dalwang lalaking nakasunod sa kanya. I know it was him. I'm pretty sure of it. But--but why is he here? Is it because of me? Oh my God! 

"wait, wait!" tangka ko sanang lumabas pero bigla ng sumara ang pinto. 

Ilang segundo lang ang nagdaan at bumukas uli ang pinto.  Mabilis akong lumabas doon at agad syang hinanap. Palingon-lingon ako sa paligid pero hindi ko na sya nakita. I was panting  leaning on Rhaze table again. 

"Are you okay?" tanong nya sakin. 

"have you seen 3men came out of the building?" 

"ahmm, yeah. They just left though. They were here for a meeting with Mr. Jackson. What's wrong?"

"do you know them?"

"Im sorry Ms. Stanford. Mr. Jackson states that I'm not allowed to give their names to anybody."

"ohh, okay." I bit my lower lip nodding to her. 

Alam kong sya yung nakita ko. Pero bakit sya andito sa building na pinagta-trabahuan ko? Nakipag meeting sya sa boss ko? How come? Sino ba talaga ang lalaking 'to?!

Kumatok ako sa meeting room bago pumasok. Sabay pa silang napatingin sakin habang natatawa.
