Sentinel BioTech HQ, Manila
Monday – 08:30 AM
The morning sun cast a golden hue over the sprawling skyline of Bonifacio Global City, illuminating the polished glass facade of Sentinel BioTech's headquarters. Inside, the atmosphere was already humming with purpose—keycards beeped, elevator doors hissed open and shut, and the soft thrum of shoes against marble floors echoed down the corridors.
Matthew Borja entered through the private executive entrance with a calm stride, coffee in hand, a pair of thin-framed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose—an uncommon sight that gave him a slightly more professorial look than usual. He was dressed sharp as always, but there was a lightness to his expression, a kind of quiet contentment that hadn't been there for weeks.
