Look at that smug face.

Oh, what I'd give to see that expression wiped off!

Mukha lang siyang inosente pero Jillian Robredo is the least innocent person in the world. Nakakainis talaga nang sobra!

"So, it's decided na. Miss Robredo's team will be overseeing the project." Sabi ng boss namin.

'Yung project na gusto ko at pinagsisikapan kong makuha for months now ay gan'on-gan'on niya lang inagaw sa akin. I am so angry!

My knuckles are turning pale from how hard I'm clenching it. I regulated my breathing para hindi naman ako mag-mukhang loser sa loob ng conference room. Para kahit sobrang iritado ako, cool lang externally. I refuse to further give Jillian Robredo the satisfaction.

When the boss asked if may concerns pa kami -- muntikan ko na ngang ihampas sa kaniya ang upuan to challenge his decision on choosing Robredo pero I kept my composure and did it inside my head na lang - dinismiss niya na ang meeting. Pero I stayed behind, and some of my teammates did too. People quickly filtered out of the room, ayaw maipit sa posibleng crossfire.

If looks could kill, kanina pa nag-aagaw-buhay 'tong si Robredo. Kasi kanina ko pa siya tinititigan nang masama. Kasi ang sama niya talaga sa paningin ko.

"Kalma lang, baka naman matunaw ako niyan." Her sweet voice taunts.

So nag-stay din siya, she also have some of her loyal teammates there with her.

She loves pushing my buttons talaga. I gritted my teeth in rage.

I scoffed. "Masaya ka na? Inagaw mo 'yung project na gusto ko. And for what? To satisfy your sick ego?"

Jillian scoffs back. "Inagaw? Hindi ko naman inagaw, ah? I didn't butter up our Boss to give the project to me. Baka alam niya lang talagang mas competent ako to oversee it." She says with a shrug.

Our subordinates are eyeing each other now, could feel the tension building up between us. They learned the hard way not to try extinguishing our irritation. They just learned na enjoyin na lang 'yung palabas between two passionate competitive women.

But I hate how my fury towards Robredo and her annoyance towards me became a mere entertainment for the whole office. Akala ba nila I'll take this lightly? Tangina nila! No one can insult me and my work ethics when I'm clearly the only best thing in this company!

Kung hindi lang bawal ang violence sa HR, matagal ko nang pinatid 'tong si Robredo.

Acting all innocent and nice when she's the biggest leech ever! Nakakainis.

"Mas competent, huh? I didn't know sign of competence na pala 'yung may measurement error sa analysis niya." I replied cockily.

The smirk on her face morphed into an angry frown and she glares icily at me. She rarely does that kahit na we always take jabs at each other, kaya win para sa 'kin kapag kita ko na sa mga mata niya ang inis.

"That was one time! And I fixed it as soon as I could." Jill replied.

I scoffed and smirked at her before standing up from my seat to walk closer to where she is. Para asarin pa siya lalo, I whispered on her ear. She hates it when I do this. "Kaya 'wag masyadong mataas ang lipad. Malay mo sa'kin pa rin pala mapunta 'yan in the end. Competent ka naman, just not on my level." I pulled away with a mischievous look on my eyes, which only made the scowl on Jill's even deeper.

Napatawa na lang ako.

Jill held a sickly sweet smile that is borderline menacing. "'Wag din masyadong mayabang, Y/N." She leans into my personal space and she zeroed in her hardened stare on me. "I assure you, this won't be the last project I'll take right from under your nose. Watch your back, (L/N)."
