Chapter 18: Love of my life

It's about 2am on our batch's meeting and the host, the president of our batch, Attorney Victor, wanted to buy more drinks and food for us. He's fucking rich and he just ended the meeting with a big statement. "I will donate half a million for our budget next year. What I only want is for you to encourage our other batchmates to attend our grand alumni homecoming next year and their presence will be a big boost to our campaign." "I also want them to commit a pledge of support as our group right now can only do so much", he continued. Man, I will vote for this guy if he runs for senator one day. I don't even like this dude from high school but seeing him tonight, he's fantastic.

Victor's wife then called him and said, "sweetie, time to bed. c'mon baby". Everybody laughed and howled at that moment. And just like a good husband, he said, "guys, I hate to tell you this but she is the commander in chief here. I'm just the financier". He the said, " Thank you guys for coming here. We will have our batch'a Christmas party here, drink all you can and we will have a great time. Just promise me that you will contact our lost comrades and tell them that our school needs them. We need their support" Good night, he then said. I then overheard him say to some of the guys that we can stay and continue and his security guards will escort us when we leave. So cool. He's the dude! I suddenly remembered my beautiful wife, who stayed with me for everything we've been through. I was just texting her earlier and I forgot to mention that I did not won the TV. I might have drank more than I know of.

I was her boss then. She was always relegated to the night shift as her project duties were during American office hours. She was just lovely and charming and caring. When I saw her I know she is the one I'm going to marry and spend the rest of my days. I knew that if I'm going to court her, our team will know this eventually and I'm prepared for that. It is also not illegal on our company to have a relationship with subordinates so I started courting her. And so with drugs.

After that forgetable night at Ryan's place, I went there back and forth for 3 days straight. I haven't slept for days and mom asked me if I need to take a vacation leave so I can rest for a few days. That was a great idea, and I asked our PM (Project Manager) if I could do so. Rumors on our company circulates quickly so I'm not surprised when she mentioned my ex as the reason. I said yes, with a big sigh of relief. She gave me 2 days off and reminded me to stay sharp as the interview is a week from now. That 2 days off is what I really wanted after all. I just slept and slept, ate a lot, went to the movies, and visited Almelie (My future wife's name). It was awesome, I am ready to face the music next week. Am I?
