FHRILLIZZIE KELL WAINWRIGHT
Muli kong ibinaba ang temperatura ng aircon sa loob ng opisina ko habang tahimik na nagmamasid sa mga empleyado kong masayang nagkukwentuhan sa labas. Kanina pa sila maingay but I didn't bothered going out just to scold them. Nag-iisip ako.
I entwined my fingers as I crack my head for the nth time whilst thinking on how the hell Palm applied for that job. For all I know, this godam Greek is filthy rich! Anong nangyari at napapadpad siya rito? And why do I feel like he's up to something? Impossible namang nagkataon lang ang lahat.
Hay, Lizzie. Praning ka na naman. Whatever is running into his mind ay labas na ako roon.
I tilted my head and reach for the document in front of me when I accidentally met Palm's gaze. Like it's first time, the glee on his face faded when he realized that I am frowning at him. Mula nang magkaharap kami ulit kanina ay nasaksihan ko rin ang hindi mapigtas-pigtas na pag-ngiti niya at pana'y pa ang pakikipag-kwentuhan sa mga kasamahan namin. So unlikely of him, dahil nang makilala ko siya noon ay hindi siya palangiti at kayang mabuhay kahit walang social circle. He was a man full of himself. Now I wonder kung siya pa nga ba 'yung Palm na nakilala ko...
Napailing ako. It's been five years and definitely maraming nagbago. And that includes us.
Mabilis kong ibinaba ang tingin ko nang lumingon din sa gawi ko ang iba pa. Narinig ko pa ang impit nilang hagikhikan kaya bahagyang uminit ang ulo ko. Pinagtatawanan ba nila ako?!
"Allysa, bring me my coffee and tell them to get back to work." Sagad sa impit na inis kong utos.
My mind is running when a soft knock padded my door at mula roon ay pumasok si Palm na nakangiti sa akin. Napatingala ako nang tuluyang tumapat na siya sa akin.
"Here's your coffee, ma'am." Magiliw niyang sambit sabay lapag ng tasa sa mesa ko.
Nanatili akong nakatingin sa kanya.
"Where's Allysa?"
Nabura ang ngiti niya at napalitan iyon ng pagtataka.
"Outside-"
"I asked for Allysa, ikaw ba si Allysa?"
Palm gave me an unknowing look before the side of his lips rose.
"No, but she asked me to-"
Muli kong pinutol ang litanya niya, "Then you are not Allysa!"
Ibig kong ubusin ang pasensya niya.
"Yes but apparently-"
"Apparently, you're not supposed to be here." I tried my self to look more intimidating. "Tell me, why are you here?"
My eyes squinted as I reach for his eyes. My question meant the other way around and I bet he's not that stupid to not to know it.
And just like how the thunder disappear after the strike, his playful aura vanished. I smirked. Namulsa ang lalaki sa harap ko at walang emosyon akong pinakatitigan. He wasn't gone at all. Ang galing niya lang talagang magtago.
"I want the job," he simply answered.
Malutong akong natawa sa isinagot niya. He want the job? Come on, he can't fool a fool.
