Serendipity (Thalassophile)

Sixty-five

Krislene is sitting at the lobby area of Kingsley Global, together with the other applicants for the position of the Secretary of the CEO. Yep! You've read it right. The childhood sweetheart slash girlfriend slash fiancé of Dylan Kingsley is applying for the Secretarial position. Kung tutuusin, pwede naman nya sabihin kay Dylan but no. She wanted to go through the process. Besides, walang alam si Dylan na mag-aapply sya. Basta ang alam nya, nangangailangan ng bagong Secretary si Dylan. At hindi nya mapapalampas iyon. As for the reason? There are lots of women who wants to get that position. At iyon ang hinding-hindi nya mapapayagan. Lalo pa't napag-alaman nyang panay ang pa-cute at pagpapa-sexy ng mga babae sa nobyo nya.

Only I is allowed to seduce my man.

Gustong irapan ni Krislene lahat ng aplikante dahil sa mga naririnig nyang bulong-bulungan ng mga ito. Na kesyo gwapo raw ang CEO, hot at lalong-lalo na, yummy.

Well, hindi naman nya maikakailang totoo ang sinasabi ng mga ito. But heck! She's being possessive right now. To avoid being jealous, sisiguraduhin nyang makukuha nya ang Secretarial position.

Moments later, the HR Department Head arrived at the lobby area and her gaze settled on her. "Miss Krislene Raye Adriano?"

"Yes Ma'am?" She answered politely and she saw how the HR Department Head rolled her eyes on her.

"Please follow me."

At agad naman syang tumayo at sinundan ang HR Department Head papunta sa loob ng opisina nito. Naupo ito sa swivel chair nito habang sya ay naiwang nakatayo sa harapan ng mesa nito.

"Miss Krislene Raye Adriano."

The HR head called her name once again while looking at her, poker-faced. Kaya binigyan nya ito ng pagkatamis-tamis na ngiti. "Yes Ma'am?"

Biglang nalukot ang mukha nito habang nakatingin sa kanya. "Anong trip mo ha Krislene? Bakit nag-apply ka pa? Hindi ka nalang dumiretso sa fiancé mo?"

At doon nya inilabas ang kanina pa nyang pinipigilang pagtawa. "I want to go through the process my friend."

She looked at her flatly. "Seriously?"

"Oo nga. Kaya huwag mong sasabihin kay Dylan na nag-aapply ako."

"Kahit naman hindi ka mag-apply tanggap ka na for sure. Iba lang talaga takbo ng utak mo."

She chuckled, "I just want to humour my fiancé. Huwag kang panira ng trip Eisha Caileigh. Sinisira ko ba trip mo kay Ezequiel? Hindi naman diba?"

Eisha rolled her eyes once again, "Fine! Pinapahirapan mo lang ako eh. Edi sana hayahay ako ngayon." Reklamo nito sabay hilot sa sentido. "Ang daming aspiring applicants na nag-aaspire ma-seduce ang fiancé mo. Buong araw nalang yata ako magpapaka-plastic sa mga gaga."

"Don't worry, this would be the last since I'm confident that I'll get the Secretarial position. And promise, babawi ako. Libre ko kayo ng inaanak ko next time."

"Siguraduhin mo lang Krislene Raye. Sige na bumalik ka na sa labas."

"Alright. Ipanghuli mo ako ah?"

And once again, Eisha rolled her eyes. "Oo na! Shoo!"

At napatawa nalang sya dahil sa sobrang grumpy ng kaibigan. Eisha Caileigh is actually their friend, or rather, included in their circle of friends. She's working as the HR Department Head of Kingsley Global. Kaya nga expected na nyang magugulat din ito sa naging desisyon nya.

Well, she's doing it right. Atleast she went through the process.

But there's one thing that she is sure of, she'll get the position of the Secretary of the CEO, her fiance, Dylan Kingsley.
