FHRILLIZZIE KELL WAINWRIGHT
“Allysa! In my office, now!”
The intercom almost broke because of her shout. Umagang-umaga pa lang ay mainit na ang kanyang ulo dahil sa kapalpakan ng kanyang mga kasamahan.
“Y-yes ma'am!"
Napabuntong-hininga na lamang si Lizzie sa huli nang mapagtanto ang nanginig na boses ng kanyang assistant. Hindi niya man gustong sigawan 'to ay hindi niya na napigilan pa. Tiyak na isinusumpa na naman siya ngayon. Nothing new, anyway.
“Where is the quarterly report that I asked for?” I asked, forcing my voice not-to-be so loud and not-to-be so harsh.
“Ma'am k-kasi po...”
“Nasaan na?”
She hesitantly looks at me before answering. “Piniprint pa lang po ni Emma.”
Piniprint?! At this fucking hour!?! I satanically laugh and then glares at her.
“Damn it! Hindi ba't sinabi ko nang I need it before 8! Where the fuck is Emma?!”
Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko! Nakalimutan ko lang magalit kahapon ay binalewala na agad nila ang mga utos ko. Gusto pa talaga nilang mapagalitan bago tumino, huh. Fuck it, paborito talaga nilang makita ang may sungay na ako. Hmm, we'll see.
“N-nasa ibaba po.”
I bit my inside cheek when Allysa rubs her bolang kristal—I meant her belly. Her assistant is 8 months pregnant and as much as possible ay ayaw niya talaga itong sinisigawan kaya lang talaga ay mukhang pati ang utak nito ay kinain na ng anak niya through her placenta. Nakakainis.
“Call Emma and tell her to come here immediately.”
Eversince I started working here, I only not gained excellence but also the reputation of being the company's bitch. It's very obvious why most people here doesn't like me except of course, the board and my boss, Jude. Lagi raw kasi akong galit, masungit, perfectionist, at nakakatakot. But what can I do? I don't want an incompetent team and only losers can bear defeat. And I stand for leadership.
Aminado akong pagkatapos ng lahat ay mas naging determinado ako and as a matter of agreement, I like who am I now. I am no longer that loser Lizzie from the past.
Muling bumukas ang pintuan ng opisina ko at pumasok ang halatang kinakabahan na si Emma. She’s wearing her flashy red lipstick at hawak-hawak ng dalawang kamay niya ang isang makapal na folder. I tsked.
“Good morning, Emma. Kumusta ka na?”
My voice may sound polite but my eyes are sure to be squinting at her. Akala niya ba palalagpasin ko 'to? Ligtas lang ang hindi tamad.
Ang babae'y hilaw na natawa bago sumagot. How deliquent.
“Ahehe...oks lang maganda pa rin, ma'am, kayo po?”
Ang gaga nakuha pang magbiro. She's not even...!
Pigil ang inis na ngumiti ako sa kanya at tsaka inalis ang salamin ko. Ipinunto ko ang upuan sa harap ko.
“Umupo ka nga, Emma at mag-uusap tayo.”
Hindi ko pinigtas ang ngiti ko kaya mas ramdam ko ang pagiging kabado niya. She should be! Alam niya ba kung gaano ka-importante ang report na 'yan?
