Two Weddings
Who Are You?
AMANDA
Oh, really. Why is your photo wolf?
LONE WOLF
Nothing, I just love wolves
AMANDA
Yeah, so everyone's basically afraid of them?
LONE WOLF
Well, they don't have to be. Wolves are nice
AMANDA
You know wolves that much?
AMANDA
My granny told me wolf ate Red Riding Hood's granny
LONE WOLF
That's fake news
LONE WOLF
And it's just a myth
AMANDA
Okay. So who are you?
LONE WOLF
Any problem with my name?
AMANDA
Uh, not really. I just can't recall someone in that name
LONE WOLF
Get to know me then. By that time, you'd recall someone in this name in the future
LONE WOLF
Uh, you're what? a kindergarten?
AMANDA WAS CURRENTLY CHATTING WITH HER FRIEND AND JACE WAS WAITING FOR HER REPLY
SO HE DECIDED TO NOTIFY HER
LONE WOLF
I wanna tell you something
AMANDA
Tell it to yourself
AMANDA
I don't even know you
LONE WOLF
I told myself for the millionth time already
LONE WOLF
I wanna tell you
AMANDA FOUND IT WEIRD TALKING TO A COMPLETE STRANGER THAT SHE DECIDED TO SIGN OFF HER ACCOUNT. YET, SOMEHOW, LATER THAT EVENING, SHE SIGNED IN TO CHECK IF THE LONE WOLF SAID SOMETHING ON THE CHAT
LONE WOLF
I just really wanna chat
LONE WOLF
My mom's sick and I just wanna talk to you while staying in the ward
LONE WOLF
Believe me. It's crazy to just sit and do nothing and talk to no one
SHE WAS UNAWARE WHY SHE'D FEEL SAD AT ALL.
EARLIER THAT DAY, SHE FOUND OUT THAT HER FATHER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL TOO. SHE JUST COULDN'T GO DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION IN HER WORKPLACE.
SHE'D JUST BEEN WRONGED FOR LEAKING AN IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE COMPANY SHE WORKED FOR AND SHE FELT HIS SADNESS THROUGH HER PHONE
AMANDA
Let's talk some other times, maybe
The Hot Boss
IT HAS BEEN SO WEIRD THE NEXT DAY. AMANDA WAS WELCOMED BY HER BOSS WITH PLEASANT GREETINGS AND AN APOLOGY FOR WRONGING HER.
ROM
Hey, Amanda. Glad to have you here early
AMANDA
Sir? Is anything the matter?
ROM
No, just meaning to apologize.
ROM
I have pressured you so much in this crisis we are having. And I realized I was wrong
AMANDA
It's okay. Everyone amkes mistakes, sir. If I was on your position, I would've done the same
ROM STARTED HIS WAY TO HIS OFFICE. THEN HE STOPPED HALFWAY AND FACED HER
ROM
Do you have plans this evening?
AMANDA
Uh, None at all sir
ROM
I just wanna ask you to dinner
AMANDA
Yes, of course, sir.
AMANDA
Just dinner, right?
SUDDENLY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION, HER PHONE BEEPED.
LONE WOLF
I read your messages
SHE READ THE TEXT AND LOOKED APOLOGETICALLY AT ROM
AMANDA
I'm sorry. It's my friend.
ROM
Sure, no problem. I'll just wait for you in the basement after work then?
AMANDA
Yeah. I'll be there
SHE REACHED FOR HER PHONE AND TYPED.
AMANDA
Hey, Lone Wolf. Are you still Lone?
LONE WOLF
I love your creepy joke. But yeah, I'm lone
LONE WOLF
What are you doing today?
LONE WOLF
What work do you do?
LONE WOLF
Nice. How about after work?
AMANDA
Nothing much. Just fancy dinners and corporate dinners and business dinners just the same.
LONE WOLF
Aw, that's too bad.
LONE WOLF
I am lone at dinner as well
LONE WOLF
Mind if I join you?
AMANDA
Well, I can't say anything. It's just that I can't
AMANDA
Besides, I don't even know you
AMANDA
No, I didn't mean it like that, Jace
AMANDA
It's just that we still don't know each other personally
LONE WOLF
Gotta go. I'm at work too
Family First
AMANDA WAS ASTONISHED AND SHOCKED BY THE TIME. SHE HAD CONCENTRATED WAY YO MUCH ON HER WORK THAT SHE DIDN'T NOTICE THE TIME
AMANDA
Sorry. Be right there
SHE HURRIEDLY PACKED HER STUFFS UP AND RUSHED TO THE ELEVATOR.
THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF WORKERS ON THE FLOOR. SOME ARE STAYING FOR OVERTIME AND SOME ARE WAITING FOR THEIR CHAUFFER
SHE PRESSED THE ELEVATOR OPEN AND IT WAS OPEN A FEW MOMENTS LATER. SHE HURRIED IN.
AFTER THE ELEVATOR RIDE, SHE WALKED OUT AT THE BASEMENT AND SAW HER BOSS, ROM, BUSY ON A PHONECALL
ROM
I know. I'm never going to make it there bro.
ROM
Yeah, I'm going out for a business dinner
ROM
No, I'm not with Jessica. I'm with my staff
ROM
Ugh. Nevermind. You wouldn't understand. Bye
SHE WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHE SPOKE
AMANDA
I'm sorry. I overheard
AMANDA
But are you needed somewhere? Maybe we could postpone this dinner
ROM
It's a family dinner. I'm just too clumsy to go.
ROM
I should. But hey, we talked about dinner first.
AMANDA LAUGHED. HER BOSS COULD BE FUNNY AT TIMES
AMANDA
But still. If it's important sir, then you shouldn't mind me and go. Blood is thicker than water.
AMANDA
Yeah, sir. Besides, I'm just your employee, I'm one of the least significant
ROM
Of course not. Don't degrade yourself. Without workers, my company is nothing but a joke.
AMANDA
Well, you should get going then
AMANDA
Oh, I reside in the Skygarden Apartments.
ROM
Okay. Then let me send you home atleast.
