Chapter 40
Gizzelle P.O.V.
"Hey. Excuse me?" I called the girl who's washing dishes but she's not looking.
"Hey girl!" I called her again. Tumingin naman na siya saakin.
"Ako?" She looks familliar... or her face just a normal to other people I met.
"Yes you. Come here." Lumapit naman agad siya habang nagpupunas ng kamay.
"Bakit?" She asked. Maybe she's a new maid here.
"Get me some juice" I said. Tiningnan ko na ulit si Sam. He's so busy. Well. Iyon naman talaga sadya ko. Nilagyan naman niya agad kami ng dalandan juice at ng dalawang baso sa lamesa.
"I don't want that." I said to make her stop. I can sense that she was already pissed. Hindi siya magtatagal dito kung ganyan ang ugali niya.
"Ano bang gusto mo?" Great question, darling.
"I want a strawberry juice." I said.
"Tss. Edi sana bumili ka nalang." She whispered but it was enough to hear what she was said.
"Ikaw gusto mo ba?" She asked Sam. Hindi naman siya tinitingnan ni Sam at patuloy lang sa ginagawa.
"Yes. Of course--"
"Dalandan or strawberry?" She asked again. Why she isn't calling Sam as her boss?
"Dalandan." He said and wink at that girl.
Well I shouldn't overthink. I think nama-malikmata lang ako.
"What is your plan?" He asked me.
"Hmm. I don't know. You decide babe." Sabi ko agad. I have trust on him so I let him handle the project.
"Ma'am ako na po niyan." Napalingon ako doon sa babaeng inutusan ko. She was talking to the cook.
"Wag na po. Kaya ko naman kuya Tony. Gawan mo nalang sila ng meryenda." She said.
"Si Rey na po gumagawa ma'am. Ako na po jan." Ma'am? She's boss here? Tiningnan ko naman ulit si Sam na nakatingin doon sa babae pero binalik lang din ang tingin sa laptop nang mapansin niyang nakatingin ako sa kaniya.
He can't stop smiling.
"Tapos na po kuya. Ano pong niluto niyo?" She sweetly asked. Is she was relative of Sam?
"Pizza ma'am. May gusto po ba kayong ipadagdag?--"
"Talaga?! Gusto ko pong makita!" She shrieked. Tiningnan ko naman si Sam. He was taking a picture of that girl.
"Nasa loob pa po ma'am."
"Ericka." I looked at Sam again. Ericka? Ericka ang pangalan niya?
"Bakit? May kailangan ka pa?" She asked.
"None. Take care." He said. Is there something between them? She just rolled her eyes, bago siya umalis.
"Pfft. So cute." Napalingon na ako kay Sam na nakatingin na sa cellphone niya. I hopd she wasn't the Ericka that I know way back high school days.
"Babe." I called him.
"Bukas ipapasend ko nalang sa office mo ang design. You can go." He said and closed his laptop. Nanlaki naman ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.
Is he dragging me out on his house?
"You can go. Wala ka naman nang kailangan diba?" He asked me in cold tone. What happened to him?
