Deepest Treasured Fantasies

Chapter 11

I slept like a baby for the first time in four months. My hands snakes out from the warms swaddle of my blankets. Grabbing my ringing phone from the side. "Hello?"

"Ms. Nat, saan na po raw kayo?" It's Roy. Peak on my alarm clock. It's already past nine o' clock and I'm already two hours late.

"Sorry, hindi tinanggap ng tenga ko 'yong tunog ng alarm clock." walang gana kong paliwanag. Hindi naman talaga ako nag-alarm.

There's a minutes of silence before he answered back. "Okay po sabi ni Sir Lin, ingat daw po kayo, bye po, Ms. Nat." He ended the call. I groaned and blink my eyes couple of times. Bumangon na ako at naligo.

It has been two weeks and I'm already convinced that my boss, the asshole isn't going to fire me or let me out of the contract. Palaban mga meme.

Update: Last day ni Tasha Scoreboard: Tasha-1, Boss-4.

Whoever created "5 Easy Ways to Get Fired" was a scammer. I executed all the ways but it's still null and viod. Hindi 'man lang tumaas ang score ko sa loob ng dalawang linggo. I ignored his phone calls and task emails, pinapagawa ko kay Martha. Wala akong ibang naririnig kung hindi "Oh, It's okay." I even tried to kill him.

"Hi, Roy, mukhang busy ka, ah?" I smiled widely at ganoon din ang ginawa niya.

"Okay lang po ako, Ms. Nat, medyo busy marami lang pong kailangang ayusin sa LuXe." paliwanag niya habang nagbabasa ng emails sa laptop niya.

I looked at my wristwatch. "It's already past twelve, kumain na ba si Boss?"

Kimislap ang mga mata niya. "Hindi pa po, concerned po pala kayo kay Sir Lin."

Oo, concern akong mamatay siya. "Oo nga e, gusto mo ako na lang ang bumili ng food para sa kanya. Ano bang usual na orders niya?"

Sinabi niya sa'kin at agad naman akong nagtungo sa isang restaurant within the area and the last thing that I can remember, Roy called the company doctor to administer a dose of epinephrine to save my boss.

Bakit ko ginawa? I've learned that he has severe allergic reactions with strawberries, bumili ako ng food that contains strawberries na hindi halata. And I still fucking failed.

"Oh, It's okay. She doesn't know that I'm allergic with strawberries." He smiled sarcastically.

Okay, fine. He'd won this round but I would definitely win the next. So the next morning, I leaned back in my swivel chair while talking to an overseas customer service representative. My boss has a huge obession with watches. Feeling ko isang kwarto sa bahay niya puro relos.

"Yes, just cancel the previous order and replace it with Hallucinations by Graft Diamonds."

"Are you sure, Ma'am?" the representative asked, she even stuttered.

"Yes, my Boss told me so." then she processed my request.

Minutes after, he walked into my cubicle and narrowed his eyes on me. "Yes, Linkurt?"

"Linkurt?" He raised his eyebrow. Oo, tropa tropa lang tayo dito.

"Yes, Kailangan ba kitang tawaging "Mr. Monteclaro kapag nasa office tayo?" I acted confuse.

"You must."

I smiled, showing him my perfect teeth. "Okay, Well, I'll keep that in mind, Linkurt." I stood up. "Anong maipaglilingkod ko sa'yo, Linkurt?"

"I received an email from watchgo for an order change. They cancelled my previous order and replace.." His voice trailed off. "They fucking charged my card with $21 Million dollars."
