I stared at myself on the elevator's mirror wall. "Cheer up, Tasha. This is your last day. Huling araw ng mga paa mo sa kompanyang 'to." I fixed my blue floral print casual dress.

I stepped out the elevator as it reached the CEO's floor. Sumalubong agad sa'kin si Roy. "Ms. Nat, welcome back po."

Nakita ko rin si Martha na papunta sa'min ni Roy. "Ms. Nat, na-miss po kita. Babalik ka na po ba? Ang sungit po kasi ni Ms. Gene." Tiningnan ko si Roy.

"Nagvolunteer po si Ms. Gene na tulungan si Sir Lin habang wala kayo." paliwanag niya. "Babalik na po ba kayo?"

Umiling ako at pinakita ang envelope na dala ko. "Magpapasa ako ng resignation letter."

A strange feeling bubbled inside my chest as I watched both of them. Hindi ko akalaing dadating ako sa point na makakaramdan ng kung ano.

Martha blinked her tears back. "Ms. Nat, hindi pa po tapos ang thesis ko, e."

Natawa ako sa kanya at tumingin kay Roy. "Alam na po ba ni Sir Lin?"

Tumango ako. Bumalik siya sa cubicle niya at tinawagan ang Boss namin para i-paalam narito na 'ko. Lumakad ako papunta sa office niya. Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko buksan ang double door ng office niya.

He was standing watching the city view, his back facing me. The sound of my heels clattering against the floor, he slowly turn around and his crystal clear gray eyes met me and went down on my legs.

"Mr. Monteclaro." I greeted him. Lumapit siya sa'kin hanggang dalawang metro na lang ang layo namin sa isa't-isa.

"So, I'm your Boss now?" he smiled. "Weeks ago, I was Linkurt and," He tilted his head. "What's the other one? Oh, right, boss baby. "

I sighed and look away. Wala akong panahong makipaglokohan sa taong 'to. "I'm here for my resignation letter and.."

He cut me off. "I'm not going to accept that, Ms. Garcia."

The deep sound of his voice made me look up. "Hindi mo ba ako tatanungin kung bakit ako magreresign? You're not insterested on my reasoning?"

Hindi siya agad nakasagot sa tanong dahil alam niya ang magiging sagot ko. "You never said the words, "please" or "thank you" to me once. Kasi major threat sa ego mo, 'di ba?"

"Neither have you."

"Ano?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Sa tingin mo kailangan kita pasalamatan? For what?"

He narrows his eyes to me, too. "You have the highest paid salary."

This fucking asshole. Really? kailangan ko magpasalamat sa kanya. Napapikit na lang ako. "Well, thank you so much, Sir." I paused. "Thank you for the headaches, sleepless nights, assholery treatment and the highest stress levels." I rolled my eyes on him and dropped my resignation letter on his mahogany desk.

He stepped closer. "Assholery treatment? Oh, yes, Ms. Garcia, I think you should also thank me for tolerating your bitchy attitude."

"From courgar and whore to a bitch." I laughed sarcastically. "Great, ano pa ang laman ng dictionary mo para pang lait sa'kin?"

Hindi niya ang tanong ko parang iniiwasan niya. "I am not going to accept that resignation letter, kahit ilang beses mo pa i-print 'yan." He said his most serious tone.

I am mad. Like, fuming mad right now. I can feel my nerves pulsating, heartbeat beating wild. Hindi ako magpapatalo sa demonyong 'to.

"I hate you, I fucking hate you. Fuck you and fuck your ego. You don't deserve being the CEO of this company. Shame on your dad, for choosing you and shame on your mom for giving birth to you. Shame on your friends for being friends with a self-centered asshole like you. You are nothing but a plain shit!" I said furiously, emphasizing every words.
