His Beastful Ways

Chapter 6

It's been a week since I've worked here, at isa lang ang masasabi ko, hindi na nakakatuwa, tangina!

"Rivera!!!!" Agad akong tumayo at pumasok sa opisina ni Ash, "Yes, Sir?" I ask, standing in front of his table. "Print out all the details about this proposal, in 30 copies" inabot niya sa akin ang halos kasing kapal ng dictionary na folder.

"30?" hindi makapaniwala kong sambit, at agad niya akong tinaasan ng kilay bago tinanong, "Any problem with that?" he asks in a sarcastic tone, kaya mabilis akong umiwas ng tingin at tumango. "30 copies, copy that" sagot ko.

After kong lumabas ng opisina niya padabog akong pumadyak-padyak bago naglakad papunta sa xerox machine. Punyeta 358 pages ito tapos 30 copies each! "Aghhhhhrrrr!!!!" naiinis kong sambit bago pinindot ang xerox machine at umupo sa gilid kung saan nagsisimula ko nang paghiwahiwalayin sa iba-ibang protion para madali kong ma print ang copies.

"Kailangan mo ba ng tulong?" napalingon ako ng makita si Louise sa pinto, I smile at her and "Oo" sagot ko, ngumiti siya bago binuksan ang dalawa pang machine at nagsimulang nang xerox ng dalawang portion.

"Maraming salamat Louise, 30 copies kasi kailangan" sambit ko, "Wow, 30 that's a lot, saan naman gagamitin ng CEO ang ganon karami?" tanong niya, yan din ang tanong na kanina pa nakatambak sa aking isipan, saan gagamitin ng lalaking iyon ang ganito karaming copies, magtatayo ba siya ng publishing company!

"Wait tatawag ako ng tulong" sambit ni Louise, I nodded at her and resume printing, mukhang aabutin ako ng hapon dito. "Here, this is Jel and Cass, they will help up" dumating si Louise na may kasamang ibang employee, "Nako, nakakahiya naman baka maabala ko trabaho niyo" mahina kong sambit.

"Hindi ok lang, gusto namin tumulong" they said and the four of us work on thet fucking 30 copies.

"Need help?" napalingon kami ng may ilang employee din na kaibigan nila ang gustong tumulong, and that suddenly lightens me up, the hope of finishing all this copies today became possible because of them, and it really make me happy.

"Thank you so much sa tulong niyo" sambit ko nang tulungan nila akong buhatin ang mga natapos na copy papunta sa table ko, they all smile at me, "Walang ano man, glad that we help" Jel said and they leave, naiwan si Louise kaya niyakap ko siya at muling nagpasalamat. "Thank so much, hindi ko ito matatapos kung wala ka"

She chuckled, tapped my back and said, "No problem, always ask for my help ok" I nodded like a polite kid, watched her leave and faced this paper, I pursed my lips then carried it all before I slowly walked towards the door and knocked.

"Come in" he answered inside, dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang pinto at diretsong inilagay sa table niya ang lahat ng copies. "Tapos na po Sir" I said, putting up a straight face on him, he raised his brows and stared at me, like he didn't believe me on what I just said.

"30 copies?" tanong niya, "Yes, Sir exact 30 copies" tugon ko, he raised both of his brows, he shrugged his shoulders, acting like nothing worth paying attention to. "Ok, leave" he uttered and went back to what he's doing a while ago.

Hindi makapaniwala ko siyang tiningnan bago, tumango at naglakad palabas. I work on fixing his schedule and when the time stops at 1 pm, I knock on his door and say, "Sir, you have a meeting with Mr. Codovez at exactly 1:30 pm" paalala ko.

Papakinggan ko sana siya sa loob ng biglang bumukas ang pinto at bumungad ito sa akin, mabilis akong lumayo sa pinto at tiningan siya, "Come with me" he said, hand me his laptop and walk.
