~prologue~


Today is just another busy day for me. My table is like a swimming pool of paper works to be filed and arranged even my desktop is full of open tabs. Well this is just a normal job of a secretary.

I'm working at a well known Pharmaceutical Company, which is the C.L Eller pharmaceutical. This company is considered one of the top pharmaceutical company in the world. As far as I know that all of the hospitals here in the Philippines are being supplied by our company.

Kahit na secretary lang ako. I'm lucky to be one of it's employees. Bukod sa malaki ang sahod na natatanggap ko madami din akong incentives. I've work for this company for almost 6 years. Masaya dahil mababait ang mga boss ko. Hindi ko na naisipang umalis pa sa kompanyang 'to. I'm worried that I will have a hard time seeking for another job because I'm not to confident about my physical appearance.

Dahil ang typical na secretary ay maganda at sexy. Not like me, maybe I've got the smooth skin but when I look at the mirror. I only see the fat girl who has been bullied from her teenage days. Even to this day, I sometimes hear chit chats behind my back from the other employees. I'm just ignoring it. Wala naman akong mapapala sakanila.

While cleaning up all the papers, the elevator door opened and I saw the wife of my boss walking towards me with a smile and stops at my table. "Good morning Deirdre."

I stand up and slighty bowed my head "Good morning Mrs. Eller."

"Ija, ilang bese ko bang sinabi sayo na Mrs. Livia nalang ang itawag mo sa'kin? You've been working here for 6 years. Hindi ka pa nasanay at nakukulitan sa'kin?" she has the questioning look in her face while still smiling. "Sorry po Mrs. El~Livia." bakas sa boses ko ang hiya at napatungo nalang ako.

As she lift up my chin and looks straight into my eyes. "Or better yet why don't you start calling me Mama or Mom. Tutal parang anak na din naman ang turing namin sayo ni Christoffer." Hindi naman ako nakasagot dahil sa sinabi ni Mrs. Livia. It's true na para ko na silang magulang ni Sir Christoffer as they knew my situation and story when I started working here in their company. Then she lean a little to reach and stroke my hair as her face softened.

"Wag ka na mahiya sweety. Isipin mo nalang na practice mo na to kapag kasal na kayo ng anak ko." she slightly grin and happily suggested.

Nanlaki naman agad ang mga mata ko na para bang kaya ko nang makita ang lahat sa gulat sa sinabi niya. As I open my mouth to reply I can't stop myself from stammering. "P~po?" Even before she can reply to my reaction. Tumunog nanaman ang elevator at pareho kaming napatingin ni Mrs. Livia doon. My expression immediately change to a poker face sa kasamaang palad niluwa nito ang nilalang na isa sa kinaiinisan ko.

He walks without leaving his turquois eyes towards mine and stop in front of my table. Naputol lang ang tingin niya sakin nang batiin niya si Mrs. Livia. "Hi Mom." then his eyes went back to me . He teasingly smile and greeted me.

"Good morning Blue."

Pinigilan ko ang mapairap dahil sa tinawag niya sa'kin at dahil nasa harap ko rin si Mrs. Livia. Wala akong magawa kundi ang sagutin siya ngayon.

I greeted him but without the energy of the morning in my voice.

"Good morning Sir Clive."
