Levi POV

Pagkarating ko sa opisina, hindi pa man ako nakakaupo sa executive chair ko, sasalubong na agad sa’kin ang secretary ko. “Sir Levi, Mr. Cheng from Hong Kong just called. He moved your call to 9PM instead of tomorrow. And the local investors for the development site in Cavite are already in the conference room waiting.”

I just nodded. “Reschedule the Cavite group for tomorrow. Sabihin mo urgent yung call ni Cheng. And... tell them I’ll make up for it with an exclusive dinner invitation next week.”

“Noted, Sir.”

Nang makaalis siya, saka ko lang pinatong nang maayos ang suit ko sa likod ng upuan at umupo. I pressed a button under my desk. The large tinted window behind me adjusted automatically—dimming the city lights to a soft grey hue. The skyline of Manila at night was one of the things I found strangely comforting. From here, mataas, malayo sa gulo. Pero kahit gano’n, tonight, my mind wasn’t with the numbers or meetings.<
