Savannah

He maybe goodlooking, well, not maybe but definitely goodlooking... but he is definitely starting to annoy me... Pasalamat sya at boss ko sya dahil kung hindi... who you ka sakin steven!!!

"Savannah, I heard that your name is Savannah Lewis, so, I assume that your father is an american??" he first asked.

Wow! seriously?? That is the first topic that I never wanted to talk about, but, seems like I don't have a choice but to answer, so, "yes." I answered.

"That's your first question. Your turn." he informed me.

And what am I going to ask him? I don't know. Maraming tanong ang gusto kong itanong pero hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang itanong. Ang gulo. So, I decided to come up with,"How's your first time?"

His face turned red, am I just imagining?? he smiled and say, "I never thought you'd ask that."

"What???" confused, I asked him. What is wrong with my question??? It's his first time to run a call center and I am curious about what he feels about it.

"Well, judging with the way you look, I never thought that you are the type of woman whose brave enough to ask a guy about his first time." he explains. Wait a second. What first time did he actualy thought i'm asking??? OMG!!!

"No!!!" I immediately said. "I am not talking about your first time as, you know..." God, I don't know how am i supposed to say this. "aaahhm, I ahh... Ms. Kim told me earlier that this is your first time to manage this company as The President, so, that's what I'm asking you about..." Thats it... Oh thank God i've said it.

"oh, if that so, well, I'm enjoying. Though, at first I never thought that I am going to love it, but, then I'm starting to..." he said and then he smile while looking into my eyes. He's got the most mesmerizing smile that I could ever see...

"ok., your turn." I hope he's not going to ask about dad again.

"What kind of music do you listen to??" he asked. Good question. atleast its not personal.

"Acoustics, jazz and alternative."

"Alternative, we both like it... atleast we have something in common." he said smirking.

"ok, let's get this over with." I said, He's getting cheesy and I don't know why. "My turn. Your favorite sports??"

"Football. Best book you've ever read so far???"

"Bible. How old are you??"

"Bible, huh??... well, I'm not younger than you, but deffinitely, not too old for you. 29.favorite movie??"

"Pursuit of Happyness and Facing the giants. favorite color??"

"White. First thing you do when you woke up in the morning??"

"Pray. Place you love most??"

"New york. What is your type of guy?"

"Someone who loves God more than he loves me."

"What, you want a priest for a boyfriend??" he ask. I know, he can't believe what my type of guy is, but, its true.

"No. Well, I believe that the guy who loves God more than he could love me is the guy who knows how to love me faithfully." I told him sincerely.

Everyone in the room fell silent as if waiting what will happen next, because the expression on steven's face became serious. He seems to disagree on what i've said. He looked down for a while and I, for a moment, can't seem to find a word to say. I don't know if I should continue asking questions, but, I don't know what to ask. Because, right now, really feel awkward.

He look at me and smile bitterly. And, by the look in his eyes, I saw sadness, pain and anger hiding beneathe those green beautiful eyes. "I just don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me." he said.

"I know." I answered honestly."Most people don't really understand it. But, its what i'm really looking for. Because, I believe that a person cannot love without experiencing the love of God first. And God-"

"Savannah" he interupts me. "Can we just cut the crap, please." he says, and I feel irritated about what he said.

"Crap?? Did you just say crap? I am talking about God here and then you say its a crap??" seriously, I'm really starting to hate this guy.

"Ok. Let's end this conversation and I don't want to hear any words from you now" he told me frowning and he left the room immediately without a word to anybody there.

"whew!!! What was that??" Tony asked me breaking the silence. "One moment, he was very fond of you and suddenly he became so annoyed at you."

"I don't know. I guess that what americans are." I answered.

"Well, I think we should proceed now." he said and we continue with the training.
