One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 136: Is she your girlfriend?

~~~You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, kept me warm. You gave my life to me, set me free, set me free. The finest years I ever knew were all the years I had with you. And I would give anything I own, I'd give my life, my heart, my home. I would give everything I own, just to have you back again... just to touch you once again~~~

LUKE's POV:

I was currently reading the reports that my team submitted to me when I noticed my two employees whispering something in their seats.

"Eherm!" I cleared my throat which made everyone look at me. "Is there anything else you want to share in this meeting, Salonga, Montes?" I asked in a deep, serious voice and put down the papers I was reading. "Huh?"

"Sir?" They uttered at the same time, surprise was evident in their expression.

"I am asking you if there is anything else that you want to share in this discussion?"

"I-I'm sorry, Sir." Montes apologized with his head down.

"Sorry? Why are you saying sorry?" I asked seriously.

"Because we're interrupting the meeting with our silly conversation."

"Silly conversation? What is it? Why don't you share it with us?"

They shared glances before looking at the counter. I followed their gazes only to find that they were looking at Sam who cheerfully talking to one of their staff at the counter.

"Salonga keeps bothering me about the woman at the counter."

I raised an eyebrow when Salonga nudged Montes' elbow, motioning him to keep quiet.

"So you were saying he's bothering you about that woman? What did he tell you about her?"

"He wanted to know her name and he also wanted us to take a picture with her."

"And why would he want to know her name?"

But this time, it was Salonga who answered my not-so-silly question.
