My heels clicks on the floor as I make my way to the Office for a meeting. My chin is raised proud and high, stopping everyone who walks pass me.
Ilang buwan narin akong hindi nakabalik sa kompanya namin dahil sa dami ng photoshoot at mga projects ko. Finally, Im here to spread beauty again. Tinanggal ko ang sunglass ko at binigay ito kay Penny na tumatakbo sa tabi ko at pinipilit makahabol sa mga yapak ko.
"Faster Penny, Come on! Pagong ka ba?" Reklamo ko dito at napairap na inunahan muli ito. I'm even wearing a 4 inch heels tapos mas nauuna pa akong naglalakad sa kaniya, pabilhan ko kaya toh ng roller blades.
"S-sorry Ma'am, ang dami ko po kasing hawak hawak—"
"So? You want me to hold them?" I look at her in disbelief. She's my assistant for pete's sake, ano sa tingin niya ang gagawin niya? Ofcourse, she's gonna hold my bags.
"H-hindi po Ma'am."
Huminto ako sa harapan ng Office at tinaasan ng kilay si Penny na nakatunganga pa sa tabi ko. "Open the door," na pasampal ako sa noo ko at naiinis itong tiningnan. Kanina pa niya ako binubwisit, and She's doing a great job.
"Ah— eh," lumapit ito sa pintuang at nahihirapang binuksan ang pinto. She's even squatting like a fool when all she's gonna do is twist the handle.
Tinulak ko ito sa gilid at ako na ang nagbukas ng pinto para sa kaniya. When it opened everyone's eyes went to me and then to Penny behind me. Napahinga lamang ako ng malalim bago umupo sa gitna at buksan ang file na nakatapat sa upuan ko.
"Celine. Penny is your assistant not your maid!" The big mouth women beside me said which made me raise a brow at her. This boss of mine is such a headache.
"Aren't they the same thing?"
"Hay nako! Ikaw naman Penny, wag mong ginagawa lahat ng gusto niyang alaga mo! Masyado ng spoiled!" Napahilot ito sa kaniyang sentido bago ako balingan ng tingin at napahinga ng malalim. She know she can't win an argument with me,
"Everyone loved your photoshoot with Mr. Walton, That's why we are considering collaborating with their company. In short, you will be doing a photoshoot with Mr. Walton to promote their cars," she smiled popping a vein on my neck.
This is crazy! I just told him to leave me alone 2 days and now they want me to have another photoshoot with him?!
"Bakit kasali pa si Aiden? It's his company, babayaran niya din ba sarili niya para lang maipromote ang mga sasakyan nila?" Inirapan ako ni Julia at nakangiti akong tinuro bago ambahan ng suntok.
"Celine! It's for the fans, okay? It's what people wants! Gets? Wag tatanga-tanga please?"
"The audacity," I gasped looking at her in disbelief. Did she just called me dumb?
"Yan, nahahawaan na ako ng kamalditahan mo." Tumawa ito kaya't sinamaan ko ito ng tingin bago napangiti sa kaniya. This bitch.
"Whatever, I don't wanna go." Ngumisi ako dito at napatingin sa kuko ko. I just got them done yesterday and I'm in love,
"Hay nako. Sige na, pumunta na kayo sa schedule niyo ngayon."
And we did. And i regretted that.
Kaagad kong tinawagan si Julia nang mahagip ng mata ko si Aiden na kakapasok lang sa studio. He's with people from his company and they've been busy talking since he got here.
