CHAPTER 19

May's POV (Elena) —

Tsk, this Gabriela is really getting on my nerves. I looked at my watch and there's still a long time until 1. I need to re-do my reports because some jealous witch stole my reports but I won't let them bring me down.

"M-May," I turned to see Yummie worriedly looking at me.

"Not now Yummie. I need to finish this before 1 pm," I stated before continued tapping my laptop.

I have a vague memory of the numbers in the report. I just need to concentrate to finish this before time runs out. Nagawa ko na 'to, so it'll be much easier. And Yummie as for the moment is becoming a distraction.

"P-pero impossible yang sinasabi mo! You only have less than 1 hour to go. 'Wag kang mag-alala May, tutulungan kita. Ano ba ang da— " I didn't let her finish.

"Try me," I challenged her and saw her gulp.

I know she just wants to help but I can manage. I don't need anybody's help. I'll show them na kahit ilang beses pa nila akong isabotahe, they will surely fail. I can't help but smirk at the thought of Gabriela being completely pissed off because I would PERSONALLY submit my reports to sir Luke. Alam ko ang pinunta niya dito.,. he's gonna ask me about my reports. Obviously, Gabriela didn't submit mine. Tsk, that tricky old witch.

"Miss Lopez and Miss Gonzales, pinapatawag na kayo ni sir Luke," Biglang tawag sa amin ng secretary ni sir Luke

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko sa anunsyo niya. I looked at my watch and he is calling us 15 minutes earlier than he planned. Good thing natapos ko na ang reports ko.

"Best, hindi ka pa ba pupunta? Nauna na si Gabriela sa'yo. G-good luck," Yummie said catching my attention.

I just gave her a pale smile. Sumakay na lang din ako sa elevator and pressed the floor of sir Luke.

"Have a seat," Luke emotionlessly ordered the moment he saw me getting in his office.

"Now, what was that commotion about?" He said with a serious tone.

"Nauna po siya sir Luke. Tinatanong ko lang naman po kung saan 'yong reports niya pero a'yun, bigla nalang nang bintang. Matagal nang ganyan si May, sir. Tanggalin niyo na siya sa trabaho—" She stopped her stupid made up stories ng ipatong ko ang isang folder sa lamesa ni sir Luke. She confusingly looked at me.

I plastered a fake smile at her then faced sir Luke. I love that surprised look of yours, Gabriella. Nothing is much more satisfying than seeing the person trying to sabotage you fell in demise.

"Here are the reports you were looking for, sir. If SOMEONE just didn't sabotage me then sana napasa ko na yan ng mas maaga," I confidently said.

"P-pinagbibintangan mo ba ako?!" Galit na sigaw ni Gabriela.

I playfully smiled at her at kita kong naasar siya sa action ko. Gabriella looks like the typical mean girl who plays power tripping but too bad for her, she messed with the wrong person today. I might not be sure of who I was before but this girl right now wouldn't allow anybody to just bully her.

"Guilty my dear?" I asked her with a very sweet voice.

I noticed Gabriella's lips curled inwards with her brows lowered and pulled closer together, obviously getting angry that her plans didn't work out as she laid out. Hindi ko lang din maintindihan what she hates about me that up until now, she continues to undermine me. I'm just doing my job, why can't she do the same?

Gabriella's eyelids squinted as she crossed her arms, "Hindi ko alam kung anong masamang pinaplano mo pero kung tapos mo na pala ang report ay dapat pinasa mo sa akin kaagad. Ginagawa mo ba ito para mapansin ka ni Sir Luke?"

What is she talking about in front of Luke?! I'm not some desperate whore who delays their job just to get the attention of her boss' boyfriend! Gabriella needs some help, she's as cunning and manipulative as a vixen.

"Alam naming lahat na simula pa lang ay may pagtingin ka na kay sir Luke. Kaya nga 'di ba pinili mong kitilin ang buhay mo kasi napagtanto mong wala ka talagang pag-asa sa kanya," Gabriella stared at me with her mocking orbs.

That's it! You crossed the line! How dare she make up stories about me. Lahat talaga ng lumalabas sa bibig ng babaeng 'to ay purong kasinungalingan. I motioned to slap her but stop myself mid-air. Marahas akong bumuntong hininga at ipinikit ang mata ko.

"N-Nakita niyo 'yon Sir Luke. Sasaktan niya ako!" Gabriella raised her voice as if scared of her life.

I mentally rolled my eyes heavenwards. II shouldn't be acting violently in front of my boss. Don't stoop down to her level, May. Calm down, letting out an exasperated sigh I put down my hands and step backward.

"You crossed the line you shouldn't Miss Lopez. Apologize to Miss Gonzales," Luke commanded.

Naibuka ko ang aking mata at napatingin kay Luke. He still has that charming jawline and enchanting orbs like in my fake memories. Why am I feeling these emotions I should've felt towards Sebastian to this guy? He got thinner compared to the last memory I had in mind. How can I make my heart forget these feelings towards you?

Nabalik ako sa huwisyo ng magsalita si Gabriella, "P-Pero sir Luke—"

Luke cut Gabriella's retort while sitting back in his chair, "You know I am just a temporary replacement for your previous senior manager. I am originally from the legal department and this case is definitely going to be under us and HR. This could be considered bullying and you know it's against company policy, Miss Lopez."

He was silent earlier that I almost forgot he was in the same room. His lawyer mode was switched on and he is really heavenly and seductive whenever he is serious. A sudden realization hit me hard, these beautiful memories with this man... these are not mine, these are all just claimed memories. Napangiti na lamang ako ng mapakla. I am really not sure if I am in love with this man or if I'm in love with the memories I have with him.

"S-sorry May,"

I blankly stared at Gabriella. Mukha talaga siyang napipilitan sabihin ang mga katagang iyan. She looks like thinking of revenge in her little rusty mind. She is obviously the type that if things do not go her way, then she may resort to aggressive bullying but I'll be ready for you, anytime.

With my reports submitted and Gabriella apologizing, Luke decided to close the case. I also assured him that it's fine. Ayoko nang palakihin pa 'to. I just want a peaceful life doing my work. Naipakaita ko naman din kay Gabriella na kahit anong gawin niyang pananabotahe ay hindi niya ako mahihila pababa. All's well that ends well, then.

As soon as I got out of Luke's office. What welcomed me was Yummie with teary eyes running towards me and bawling her eyes out after I said everything is okay. I guess with this girl, my life is far from being quiet.
