The office was unusually quiet that Wednesday night. Most of the Roque Snacks staff had already gone home, leaving only the hum of computers and the faint buzz of fluorescent lights. Kaella sat at her desk, surrounded by towering piles of urgent reports due the next morning.She sighed, massaging her temples. Bakit ba ang daming last-minute tasks ngayong linggo? She took a sip of her now-cold coffee and forced herself to keep typing.“Mentor?” a familiar voice broke the silence.She turned, startled, to see Jerome peeking in from the hallway, his tie already loosened and his sleeves rolled up.“Akala ko umuwi ka na,” she said.Jerome walked over, holding two cans of iced coffee. “I was about to, pero nakita ko yung ilaw mo.
