The Client 2.0
1056 Words
"Thank you so much for coming" A middle aged man said "Im so excited. I think I wanna marry her"
"Woah there mister, not so fast." Vic said "Concentrate on the date first then the date after and after that and the dates to come. Step by step okay" she suggested.
"Okay okay. Hooh!" Tino, the client, tries to relax himself anc shakes his hands.
"Okay #11, you're ready. Go inside and marry that girl!" Gretch pushes Tino to the doors.
"Slowly but surely Tino!" reminded Vic.
Tino waved them goodbye and entered the restaurant. He waited in his table. Minutes later, a lady in red enters the restaurant.
"The subject is here" Aly said "Gretch, Vic prepare"
"Copy" both said while sitting near Tino's table.
"Tino, sorry I'm late" the subject said.
"Its okay, I didn't wait long" msg was relayed by Vic. Tino pulls a chair for the subject for her to sit. Gretch ordered him to do that.
"Order her smoked Salmon and Greens for salad, Linguini as pasta and Beef and Potatoes for main" Vic
"Uhm I'll order-" Tino was cut by gretch.
"Thats a heavy meal for a girl, cancel Beef and Potatoes instead add Santei for dessert"
"No! Its a main dish stupid" Protested Vic "Dont cancel it. Order, La Vielle Ferme Recolte Rouge 2012, a wine so that she wont have a heavy stomach"
"Uhm guys?" Tino whispered in the mic and looked really worried.
"Smoked Salmon and Greens, Linguini, Beef and Potatoes, Santei and La Vielle Ferme Recolte Rouge 2012" Aly ordered "This is for the two of you"
Tino repeated what aly said. Aly talked to the two. "Work guys. Work!" she said in disbelief.
"Copy..." both said in unison.
Since then, the two didn't counter each others opinion. The date ended well for goodness sake.
"Offer her a ride to the office" Vic said before the two finished their glass.
"While riding, dont let her feel bored. Talk about things that interest her, for example movies. Specifically, Titanic or any Nicholas Sparks Movies" Gretch added.
"We are disconnecting #11. Have a great day" Aly said then disables the microchip on Tino.
Gretch and Vic passed by Tino's table as a sign of goodbye. Tino gave them a smile in return. As the two entered the van, Aly stood and was planning to hit the two in the head but she controlled herself instead.
"Lets go to the HQ. And you two, talk before the client meeting later with #13. I dont want that to happen again." Aly said and closed her eyes. Gretch then drove the van to the ValCorp Tower.
The ValCorp Tower is owned by the Valdez Family. Alyssa Valdez, the grand daughter of one of the wealthiest business tycoon in the Philippines, started to work at the age of 18. She earned her clients respect by her consistent and perfect performance. As a reward, she was given a branch in Makati. The ValCorp Tower.
Alyssa, as their COO, has the last five floors all to herself in the Makati Branch.
31st Floor - Main Office
32nd Floor - Cryano Agency
33rd - 35th Floor - Aly's Crib
When they arrived, Aly went straight to the Main office. The two went to the HQ. They didn't talk like what aly told them to. Instead, they just mind their own business. Vic taking a nap on the sofa and Gretch watching TV. Several minutes later, three loud people entered the HQ.
"At last! Aircon!" Kim went straight infront of the aircon to cool herself.
"Hoi umalis ka jan Kim! Ang bantot mong air freshener!" Marge complained.
"I'll take a shower" Mika while checking the cabinets for her clothes.
Some of their personal stuff are in the HQ since they spend half of the day here. Bathroom, Kitchen, Living room and Game room is present, more like a house than an office. A Conference room is present at least.
After the three had freshened up, they noticed the two being quiet. Which is very unusual especially for gretchen.
"Kroo. Kroo. Kroo" Kim breaks the silence.
"Bakit hindi kayo naguusap na dalawa?" Mika asks the two
"Hindi ko pa na try makipagusap sa taong tulog. Ikaw ba yeye, na try mo na?" Gretch sarcasticaly said.
"Har. Har. As if tulog tlga yan." Replied Mika and rolled her eyes.
"Test natin if tulog tlga ha" Kim said with a grin on her face. She's thinking of dome naughty tricks.
Hindi nman tlga tulog si Vic. Ayaw niya lang tlga makipagusap kay Gretch kasi baka mauwi nnman sa away.
When Vic heard what Kim said, she knew Kim had some bad idea so she immediately acts as if she has woken up.
*Yawn "Oh you're here. Have you guys eaten lunch?" Vic trying to convince them through her acting.
"Hindi ka pwedeng maging artista Vic" Marge said. Napatawa nman silang lahat kasali na si gretch.
"Huh?" Vic tries one more time.
"Lunch pala ha. Tingnan mo kaya sa labas. Gumagabi na, dinner dapat!" Pangbubuko ni Kim sa pagkakamali ni Vic.
All laugh in chorus as well as Vic when she realized how lame her excuse was. Then someone entered the room.
"Nagkakasiyahan ata kayo" Aly while dressed casualy for tonights meeting "Ready team?"
"Yes Capt!"
"Lets go"
-------------------
"Inno, you are Client#13" Aly "I assume they have already discussed to you the goals and rules of this agency?"
"Yes they have Capt!"
"Then why didn't you send us information about the subject?"
"Of course not. I sent it to Gretch via email" Inno while pointing at gretch.
"Cheeseballs! It slipped my mind!" Gretch facepalm.
"Dont worry Capt, I can check it now" Marge saves gretch's butt.
"Thanks and please give me a hardcopy right away" Aly then faces Inno.
"Oh, I haven't attached a picture of hers since, hehe, I'm too shy to take her photo" Inno while scatching his head.
"I can see that" As Marge checks the email "Heres the hardcopy capt" while handing the papers.
Aly checks the paper and was impressed on the subject's profile. So she's a doctor. Good catch. Aly thinks while she continues to scan the papers.
"Over there!" Inno shouts that made everyone look at the direction where Inno was pointing "Thats her!"
I... take back what I just thought.
