🏞 France, La Défense
4 and half years later
"I'm Janea De Liano"
Nang makita ako ng guard at sinabi ko ang pangalan ko ay agad niya akong pinapasok ng building
Wearing my casual business suit. I park my car in the nearest park space near the elevator. Pagkalabas ko ng BMW ko ay agad akong binati ng mga taong nadadaanan ko.
"Bonjour Madame" bati sa akin ng isang french guy who is one of the team heads of my company.
"Bonjour," I said before walking towards the elevator. Pagbukas ng elevator ay agad bumungad ang 4 na babae na naka office outfit
"MADAME!" they said in sync
I smiled and nodded at them after that I walk inside the elevator. From their accent, I knew they were one of my Filipino workers here in my company.
"magandang umaga po" nahihiyang sabi nilang apat
I looked at them and smiled.
"Good Morning," I said
Hindi pa nakakarating ng 2nd floor ay nagsibabaan kaagad ang mga babaeng kasama ko. With their heads down, they said.
"à bientôt, madame [See you, madam]" they said in sync again and shyly walked out of the elevator.
Napanguso naman ako at saka napatingin sa mga taong naghihintay kanina sa elevator na ito.
"vas-tu dedans? [are you going in?]" I asked them nicely
They awkwardly smiled and shook their heads. I pursed my lips and nodded before pressing the close button of the elevator
Was I intimidating?
4 na taon na akong naninirahan dito sa France at tatlong taon na simula nang mamahala ko ang kompanyang ito na orihinal kay lola.
Despite the years, im still not used to this boss-type life of mine. If only I had a chance to start at the very bottom, I would but since a new chief was needed during the time of my reign, I didnt had a chance but to govern this company.
I sighed and was about to press the president's floor when I noticed it wasn't there.
How stupid of me, sira nga pala ang elevator ko.
When the elevator reached the floor just above mine. Pagkabukas ng pagkabukas ng elevator doon ay bumungad ang sopistikadang si Pandora Santiago na naka-all chanel outfit
The richest president's assistant I know
And when I say rich, it doesn't mean because of the salary the company gives her but because of the fact she came from a very noble family. She was in fact the eldest child of the Santiagos- a family who is well-known for their successful security company.
The Relia Santiago Security.
Nang magtama ang paningin namin ay doon ang pagawang ng kanyang mga mata.
"nǐ zài zhèlǐ gànshénme?" Sabi niya
napakunot naman ang noo ko
I went out of the elevator.
"What are you doing here?" I asked if that was the meaning of what she said
She smiled. "YEP!" she popped the p
Napailing -iling naman ako. "Last last month you were learning Japanese. Last month you were learning Spanish, now you are learning Chinese," I said and placed my hands on my waist
