Chapter 13: News
Ring!
It was Tuesday noon the sun hung high in the sky, Jameson was walking into his building when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Dude are you free?" Art was on the phone and he was sound serious.
"Uhhh I'm going back to my company, why?" he replied.
He stopped in the middle of the walkway so he could hear more clearly.
"I want to tell you something but since you're busy maybe next day I will tell you" Art's sonorous voice came from the phone.
"No, tell me that. I'm coming over" he raised his hand to see his watch "Since its noon"
"Okay I will order food for us" he replied.
Jameson ends the call and calls Celia to inform her that he will not eat at his office and he will be back in the afternoon.
Inside the lobby they see their boss in the middle of the walkway talking on the phone, they feel strange because he did not come in and they saw him leave again.
Jameson walked back to his car and drove to Arthorin's office which is two blocks from his building. He saw a tall building and have a name in it 'Ivanko'
He walked into the whole lobby, went quiet and looked at him for a sec but returned to normal, he continued to walk to the elevator. The lobby looks grand with different antique types of furniture and chandeliers.
He walks by the lobby desk and he was greeted by the staff.
"Hello sir Jameson" their eyes lit up and a smile show on their faces.
"Hello" he replied at them while smiling.
"sir Jameson was hot"
"Yeah, his girlfriend is lucky"
When he heard the gossip, he smiled and disagreed with them. In his mind he was lucky with his only girlfriend but they broke up.
He went to the top floor where is Arthorin's office is.
"Art!" he shouted as push open the door with a boom.
Art who was sitting and reading some documents did not flinch as if Jameson opened the door slowly.
"You are no fun Arthorin Ivanko," he said in disappointment when he saw Art's expression.
"Don't destroy my door Jameson?" he said dryly and not even bothered to look at Jameson.
"Okay, Okay did you buy my food? I'm hungry" he asked then sit on the couch.
"It's in front of you Jameson, did you come blind?" he answered and pointed his fingers in front of Jameson where is the table.
Jameson saw that and started to pick the food and place it on his plates.
"So what do you want to talk about?" he spoke while gobbling down his food.
Art rolled his eyes when he sees Jameson's manners.
Arthorin straightened his back and turned serious "Do you still love her Jameson?"
Jameson put down his plate and his jaw tightened his eyes narrowed, his heart beats faster.
"What do you mean Art?" his expression hardened.
Art was serious too; he knows what difficulties Jameson suffered during that time and he knows too that he loved her very much.
"I saw her yesterday," he said. Jameson's eyes widened and his lip quivered.
He stood and he glanced up at the ceiling, he was fighting his tears.
"Finally"

Jillian as usual in her desk working her boss is not in his office at the moment so she is not that busy.
She was feeling uneasiness her handkerchief is lost, its okay to lost other ones but this one is special. Her daughter made it for her, it had a crude M.A initial.
She was feeling down, she lost it.
Ring!
Her phone rang, she picked it up and saw who was calling it was Marie, why would Mary call her in the middle of the day, something happened? She had a premonition that something happened.
"Hello Marie?" she answered.
"Hey, Jillian something happened," she said in a monotonous tone when she heard that her heart skipped a beat, she stood up.
"What happened Marie? Is it about Angel? What is it about?" she said anxiously and her hand was shaking.
"Calm yourself first Jillian," she said calmly to Jillian.
"How can I calm when something happened Marie?" she yowled and her start to moisture.
"Calm down okay? Angel had a little fever" Jillian had a sigh of relief, she was extremely worried about her daughter.
"I'm coming to get her," she said while arranging her things, she could go because it is not busy at the moment she has to let her boss know.
She ended and texted his boss that she will get her daughter because she's sick, Mr. Avelino agreed because he is not in the office at the moment.
Jillian went down and drove her car out of the parking lot and drove off to the school.

Jameson after the talk with Arthorin and eating he went to a company to offer a contract, it was a little company and a little far away from his company so he drives for thirty minutes.
The company was selling goods and he wanted a contract to them so at the moment it can fill the loss of supply for the company until he can find another one with a large capacity of supply. He was pretty confident that the company will sign the contract of course who will not agree to a magnate.
When he arrived, he saw a car leaving so he took the space, he got off the car and walked into the building, the design was normal and not very expensive.
He approached the lobby's desk so he can make an appointment with the president.
"Hello" he greeted with a smile.
the desk teller saw him from the door and she was drooling until Jameson was in front of her so she snapped out of it.
"Hello sir, good afternoon, welcome to the company, you have an appointment sir?" the receptionist said fluently with a smile.
"No I don't…" he was interruptive with the landline ringed "have…"
"Oh sorry sir I have to take this" She answered the call, Jameson was standing there patiently after a few seconds the call ended.
"Sir you may go up now, tenth floor" she instructed with a sweet smile.
"But I don't have an appointment?" he asked weirdly, does the president of this company know he was there? That was strange.
"The president said it, sir," she said firmly.
After that he walks to the elevator and thinks about it, it was strange the president knows he is there.
"Anything sir he said that just walk in the office"
The elevator moved up slowly until he arrived at the tenth floor.
He walks to the door and knocks then opens it, the office too was normal not luxuries.
"Hello I'm Jameson Aguinaldo from 8th Avenue and I have a proposal," he said formally.
The chair was facing the back, so he couldn't see the man sitting in the chair.
"Hi Mr. Jameson" the chair slowly turned and he saw a familiar face with a big grin on his face.
He was shocked when he saw it was Ryan Avelino that's why he knew he came. He was pissed off.
"What are you doing here Ryan?" he said with a cold voice.
"What am I doing here? This is my company, that 's why I'm here" he playfully said while he sat there.
