Chapter 9

Celine

My sister, Gianna called me up from England just to say na magpunta sa Makati for an interview dahil nirekomenda niya ako. Well, i didn't know na marami siyang connections, since matagal akong nanirahan abroad.

Anyway, as i park the car.. I bumped into a familiar face, he is also going to the elevator with a little girl.

"Hey, Celine! Nice to see you, kumusta?* he greeted me with a smile,

"Uhm.. Garry.. Well, i'm ok! Teka, dito ka nagtatrabaho?" tanong ko,

"No, i just went here para ihatid ang anak ko sa Mommy nya." sagot niya sa akin,

"Ahh, ok.. Well, hindi na ako magtatagal may interview pa ako. Sige, bye!" i said, he waved at me and they went on the elevator.

Hanggat maaga, iwasan ko na ma-chismis.. Mahirap na.

Umakyat na lang ako sa stairs, i went to the reception and said that i have an appointment. Binigyan nila ako ng visitor's pass at nagpunta na ako sa HR.

The HR manager looked at my resumé and he seemed impressed by flipping the 2 pages of paper.

"Ma'am, i'll send it to my boss at siya na ang bahala mag interview sa iyo. I'll take you to his office." he said.

Tumayo nga ako as he ushered me to an elevator and he pressed 8, i assume that's the president's office.

He opened the door, as i walked in..

"Oh, hi Celine!"

"Ikaw?!?"

"Mama, nariyan na si Mommy!" Stefan stood up on the couch and immediately open the door for Celine, she's carrying the bucket of chicken and other dishes that she ordered.

"Kumusta ang lakad mo, Mahal?" Florence peck on Celine's lips, she motioned her to the sofa and sit with her.

"Ok naman, Mahal.. I saw Garry as i went to the company, hindi ka maniniwala sa isa pang nakita ko—si Rod!"

Florence's face turned sour hearing that name, yes, it's Rod.. Her ex-fiancé who dumped her for a more skinny, more beautiful lady.

Celine grins and wiggle her brows, the older woman gave her a light smack on her arm.

"Nako, kung iyon ang magiging boss mo.. Mag resign ka na!"

"Grabe siya, kaka-tanggap ko lang sa trabaho, resign agad?" Celine hugged her tight, "Don't worry, Mahal.. Professional ako when it comes to my work, hindi ako magtatagal sa huling kumpanya na pinasukan ko kung attitude ako."

"Just making sure lang na—"

"Tiwala ka naman sa akin, di ba?"

"Oo naman, Celine."

"Hindi ko sisirain ang tiwala mo, ok?" Celine is about to kiss Florence but Stefan interrupted,

"THE FOOD IS READY!!!!"

"Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog, Celine.. Maaga ka bukas di ba?" Florence said as she scan through the papers that she needs to sign, Celine just sat beside her.

"Alam mo, kahit na marami akong ipon at kaya naman paaralin sina Stefan at Sebastian.. Parang i need to work hard pa rin."

"Gets ko na 'yan, Mahal.. Sabi ko naman sa'yo mag pahinga ka na muna, ang kulit mo kasi!" she looked at her,

"Ihh, nakakahiya naman na i-shoulder mo rin yung expenses ng kambal.. We're partners right?" Celine hold her hand, the latter smiled.

"I knooow, kailangan din kasing bumawi sa mga bata for a very long time."
