"Ma'am!" Sabi ko kagad paglabas ko ng elevator.
Time check, it was 9:23 am.
"Why are you late, Ms. Alcantara?" Tanong niya sa'kin.
Huh? Eh diba tinext ko na sakaniya?
"Eh di ba po--"
"Mamaya mo na sabihin- Pumunta ka na kay Sir. He's been waiting for you." Sabi niya sa'kin sabay bigay ng folders na kay kapal kapal, "Give this to him. Financial reports yan kamo galing sa finance department. Pagbalik mo, I'll show you your desk and teach you everything you need to know."
Minemorize ko sa utak ko (na feeling ko non existent ngayon) at dumiretso na sa office ni Sir.
Teka handa na ba ako--
Pota! Ngayon ka pa ba mag iinarte, Celeste? Late ka na ngang hayop ka eh!
Just what I did last time, huminga muna ako ng malalim bago pumasok sa loob.
"Listen to me, Cortez. If you don't follow my instructions regarding this partnership then I won't hesitate to fire you."
Pota, balik na lang kaya ako--
He placed his phone down and looked at me from up to down for a while.
"I'm sorry, Sir! Na late ako! I swear it's because--"
Naputol yung pagsasalita ko nung tinaas niya yung kamay niya, signalling me to stop.
"I know why you're late, Ms. Alcantara. I'm not in a good mood today to scold you why you're late especially that it's your first day here. I expect you to learn from this."
Napayuko ako at tumango na lang sa sinabi niya- pero teka, paano naman niya nalaman bakit ako late...
SINABI KAYA NI MA'AM?
NAKAKAHIYA NAMAN YON, SIGURO CINOVER UP NIYA AKO GANUN!
"Ito na po pala yung pinabibigay na financial reports galing sa finance department. I'll be with Ms. Aimee for my briefing po kung kailangan niyo po ako." Sabi ko sabay lapag sa desk niya nung folders. He nodded and I left his room immediately.
A few seconds later, nagvibrate yung phone ko...
