It Takes a Man and a Woman Page #2

Miggy, why don't you

introduce our editors.

Of course.

Laida.

- Yes?

- Let me introduce to you my editors.

This is Marie from our tech magazine.

- Hi, Marie.

- Hello.

That's Russel for our travel magafine.

- Hi, Russel.

- Hello.

And that's Andy...

Hello.

Hello. Darling.

I love the clothes, the shoes,

the hair. I'm loving you already.

Thank you.

You're going to be my new best friend.

I know.

Can I continue?

Yeah, go on.

That's Tara from New Girl.

- Hi, Tara! Nice to meet you.

- Hi, Laida. How are you doing?

And over here is Carlo.

He handles Bachelor as EIC.

What happened to Sir Mon ?

Mon got married and migrated.

Who would've thought...

Good for him.

Annoying-

And of course, you know them already.

Hey guys!

John Rae. Vincent.

Zoyla, Zoyla, Zoyla!

I missed you guys so much!

Come on! Go for a group hug!

Later.

And this is Belle.

Of course you know Belle.

Of course I know Belle.

Hi, Belle.

Hi, Laida.

Nice to see you again.

So, who's excited to hear

about this expansion ?

I'm sure Laida would be happy

to give us a background.

Shall we start working?

Let's do it.

Seventy eight million!

Can anyone tell

what those numbers represent?

Your salary in pesos?

Wow! I didn't know I'm worth

that much for you, Mr. Montenegro.

Hah! I'm flattered.

But of course, Miggy's wrong.

If only that really was my salary!

That figure represents the number of

readers this magazine reaches worldwide.

MET - short for Metamorphosis.

Transiormafion!

This is the crown jewel of Empire.

Now, I'm sure we're all aware

that this magazine...

is the number one magazine

for women worldwide.

Any association with them

can get you to places.

So much to learn and so much to reach.

But of course, not everyone's

given the chance to get in.

Now imagine the possibilities

and opportunities...

that will be opened for Flippage

if we are able to get MET...

and we become its exclusive partner

here in the Philippines.

Yeah ?

That's why I brought in Laida.

She will help us broker a deal

with Empire Media Corporation...

...that's MET's Publisher.

What was your position there?

Editorial Coordinator.

EC?

EC.

Just one letter away from EA.

But basically it's the same job, right?

It's just a different title.

So, now, tel! me.

How can a glorified EA broker a deal

between our company...

and one of the leading media

corporations worldwide?

Connections, Mr. Montenegro.

Connections that you don't have.

How sure are you

that we don't have them?

Th en I wouldn't be here.

That s what I want to know!

If you're such a big shot in New York,

why settle for a company like ours?

Excuse me.

As far as I remember,

I was asked to come back.

So I assumed that you need me.

And you know me, Miggy.

I have a heart for the needy.

You know what,

I'm sure we can do a lot better than

entrust the future of our company to...

Trust!

Wow! Big word!

Go on Mr. Montenegro!

I'm interested to hear

what you have to say!

Let's talk about trust!

I think everyone, uh...

With all due respect, Sir...

I don't think Mr. Montenegro values

what I can bring into this company.

I don't want to force myself

where I'm not needed.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Thank you for the opportunity.

What was that?

I can't do it, Art. I just can't.

I'm sorry but we can't work together.

Personal matters will just

always get in the way.

And I don't wanna be reminded

of that everyday.

Okay. You're right.

You don't have to do this.

I might have pushed you too far.

Thank you for even trying.

Why are you so kind to me?

What?!

Laida.

Laida, what do you want?

Come back to work.

You don't want to work

with me anymore, right?

Why?

Okay. Bye.

Laida.

Laida, what do you want?!

Come back. Let's talk about this.

Talk about what?

Just come back.

Do you really want me back?

First, tell me that you need me.

Magic words:
"I... need... you..."

"I can't make it without you, Laida."

No.

Okay! No problem!

Laida! Laida!

Laida. Wait!

Wait! Wait! Alright! Okay!

I'll say it! I'll say it!

Labia. phase. Come back!

Phase come back!

I need you! I can't be with out you!

Okay?! Is that okay?

Is that okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Uh, excuse me. Where will my desk be?

Over here, Ma'am.

Thanks.

Welcome back to me.

Is this how you welcome an old friend?

Are you really Laida?

The one and only.

Prove it. Get u s coffee.

Don't boss her around.

She bosses us around now!

What show were you putting on there?

What?

What? What a fake.

The Laida I used to know

won't talk like that.

Come on, guys. I've changed!

I've grown!

This is Laida Magtalas version 2.0.

Wiser. Braver. Stronger.

Bolder. Fiercer.

Future monster.

Sn ooty Laida.

Snooty Laida versus

The Montenegro Devil.

Team Red or Team White?

None.

Go ahead and laugh...

This is all professional.

After this project,

I'm flying back right away to New York.

So the sooner we finish this,

the better!

You're out of your mind.

But you know what?

- Mmm?

- You're blooming.

Your hair and your clothes look great.

You're in love? Who's the new guy?

Just because I'm blooming, I'm in love?

More like... I was in love once...

hopeful once...

Got hurt... and now, blooming

because I've moved on!

Cool!

I got that from Twitter!

How old did you start

being in love with Miggy?

Sixteen.

And how long has it been

since the break-up?

Two years, I guess.

And you've really moved on, huh?

Without a doubt!

I'm so okay. Definitely okay!

I love being single!

Things are going to get interesting.

Where's Belle?

Belle?

Belle.

Yeah ?

Lunch?

Lunch? Sure. Let me just get my bag.

Let's go.

What?

Being single is awesome.

Heard that? They'll have lunch outside!

Jealousy? More fun in the Philippines!

Hey! I'm not jealous, okay?

Whatever.

Oh, hey. Look what came this morning.

Is this serious?

It's been fifteen years.

Yeah.

I suddenly feel old.

Can you believe it?

Crazy.

Crazy years of my life.

Hey.

Are we okay?

I mean, you know...

Now that she's back.

What?

Any change of plans?

Change of plans? Why?

I don't know. You know what I mean...

Look. I'm sorry

I wasn't able to tell you.

Butjust like you,

I only found out yesterday.

Belle.

It's no big deal. Okay? It's just work.

It shouldn't be personal.

You know that's not true, Miggy.

It will always be personal

between both of you.

Belle, Laida and I are over.

And besides, I like how we are.

It's practical.

It's realistic. It's the best.

Laida. Belle is just an old friend.

I know it's my fault.

Hey. Wait. Wait. Here.

Marry me. Let's... Let's get married.

I promise you I'll be faithful.

I won't hurt you ever again.

I promise you. Marry me.

Laida. I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

I'm sorry.

Laida. Laida. Laida. Laida.

No. No.

Laida.

You're wrinkling my clothes.

Laida.

Brother.

Miguel, I was able to haggle

with the Board.

They agreed to give you one month

to get MET.

Please do everything
