"Chill, Jeysi. I'm on my way." I immediately ended the call and didn't even bother to wait for his response. Kanina pa siya nagagalit at tumatawag. I was drunk and wasted last night; which was the reason why I forgot about our sudden appointment for today. Palipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa kalsada at sa aking relo. Ilang minuto na lamang ang natitira ay magsisimula na ang meeting. Masyado pang mabagal ang usad ng sasakyan dahil sa traffic. I opened my small pouch and took some of my cosmetics. I grabbed the opportunity to apply some of it to fix myself. I need to look glamorous and presentable in front of our clients. After a few minutes, ay umusad na ang trapiko. Nakalampas na ako sa Balintawak, kaya naman naging magaan na ang daloy ng mga sasakyan. The security guard, and some of the employees, greeted me when I arrived at Phoenix Quantum. It is one of the top leading Engineering Firms in the Philippines. I smiled and greeted them back before heading straight into the conference room. Wearing my corporate attire; a black velvet diamanté belt blazer dress, paired with a black sharp stilettos, with matching jewelry's to complete the look. I confidently entered the room. Thank God, they haven't started yet. "Sorry, I'm late," I apologized as they shifted their gaze towards mine. The smile on my lips quickly disappeared, my breathing seemed to stop for a while and I can also feel my knees shaking. "It was nice seeing you again, Tatiana." I saw a familiar built of a man and a woman. Ghosts that are part of my past that I never expected nor dreamed to meet again. It gave me shivers, but I still manage to compose myself. "It was really nice seeing the two of you again, Ate." I paused for a while, then gave them my sweetest smile before shifting my gaze to the man sitting beside her. "Leo." It seems like they were enjoying this game, pretending that nothing happened from the past. The sound of my stilettos echoed throughout the entire room. I am confident in every step I take, because confidence is the most beautiful and sexiest thing a woman can wear. In this little reunion of our's, I realized one thing. Masyado akong nagmadali noon kaya ako nasaktan at nagkamali. But one thing is for sure, I won't repeat the same mistake again. No one can fool me, nor hurt me again. Never again! Mark my words, because I am now Engineer Tatiana Cara Corsanes. Stronger, fiercer, and bolder.
