Lie To Me

Chapter 49: 48

The past few weeks were like usual; I was at the office from eight in the morning until eight the evening

every weekdays. And when weekends came, it's either I stay at home the whole day or I am out with

Elijah.

I can now admit that I judge him too easy before. Because apparently, Elijah is a very fun person to be

with. And with all honestly, I am starting to appreciate him.

Although, our connection is still hidden to our office mates. And I don't think they have to know though.

And for Hanz and Reysa, I don't think I'm already ready to tell them what's really happening between

Elijah and I. Though, Hanz are knew about Elijah, telling Reysa would be different. So, it is better to

keep it a secret until I am not certain about it.

"Ma'am, urgent meeting daw po sa conference one," Ruth informed.

I nodded at her and immediately grabbed my notes amd headed straight to the conference room.

I saw Hanz walking out of his office too.

"Para saan daw?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "Not sure. Wala namang memo," he answered and opened the door of the conference

room for me.

We went in and sat side by side. Some of the department head were already there.

Few minutes after, Elijah came. He was with a very sophisticated woman escorting behind him

A visitor, I guess.

"Good afternoon, everyone." He greeted.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

We greeted back.

"I would like you all to meet Ms. Vera Tan. Our newest investor," Elijah introduced her.

"Ms. Vera, these are the department heads of the company," Elijah added.

Ms. Vers greeted us all, we do the same.

"You may take your seat now," Elijah said after the short introduction. "Sit hear, Ms. Vera," he said,

pulling a chair for Ms. Vera.

Hanz suddenly nudge me. "You're staring to long. Are you jealous?" He asked.

My eyes widened. "Why would I?" I asked.

Hanzel shrugged. "It shows in your face," he said.

I shook my head. "Don't be ridiculous, Hanzel."

"Go on. Lie to yourself, Jianna." He said, rolling his eyes.

That's what happened half of the meeting; arguing about how I am not jealous.

"You should cleanse your mind, Hanzel. You imagination are getting morbid," I told him.

"Mama mo morbid. Sa akin ka pa mag sisinungaling? Talaga ba, Jia?" He said.

I rolled my eyes. "You're saying nonsense, Hanzel." I said. "And please, stop saying mama mo. That's

so childish," I said.

And this guy, being so matured, made face to me. I almost slapped my notes to him.

"Bahala ka nga d'yan," I said and left him.

I walked ahead of him and headed straight at the pantry. The meeting ended to late that most of the

employees already went home. But like usual, I still have to work overtime for some works that needs

to be approved today.

I just made myself a coffee in the pantry and headed back to my office.
