In fifteen minutes, narating na namin yung agency.
Maluwag kasi mga lansangan pag ganitong panahon. Walang traffic. Kasi nagsisipanood ng laban ni Pacquiao. Hahaha.
Nagpark si Charry at bumaba na kami.
Pagpasok namin dumiretso kami sa reception area.
"Good afternoon miss. May I speak with Ms. L'sie?" Sabi ko dun sa receptionist.
At ang impakta, tinignan ba naman ako from head to foot!? Aba tekaaaaa...
"Sino sila?" Sabi nung impakta na nakataas pa ang kilay.
"Ako? I'm ---" Naputol yung sasabihin ko dahil biglang dumating si Ms. L'sie. Tsk. Sasabihin ko pa naman sana na "I'm prettier than you." Hahaha.
"Ms. Lexa! What a pleasant surprise to see you here. So, have you finally considered my offer?"
"As a matter of fact, I have." At tumingin ako dun sa receptionist na ngayon ay nakanganga. "But little miss receptionist here doesn't seem to find my presence pleasant."
"Why is that Ms. Lexa?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Ms. L'sie.
"Nahh, its no big deal actually. Tinignan lang naman nya ko from head to foot at tinaasan ng kilay." And I smiled sweetly at the receptionist. Mukha namang natakot ang impakta. Serves you right, b*tch.
"She-- WHAT!?" Uh-oh. Galit si Ms. L'sie nyan. Ha. Patay si impakta. Tinignan sya ni Ms. L'sie. Mangiyak ngiyak naman ang bruha.
Lumingon naman sakin si Ms. L'sie at.. Ngumiti?
"Did she, now? Well, then..." Tumingin ulit sya dun sa receptionist, "You're fired. Pack your things Rica, and leave the building at once." At umalis na si Ms. L'sie.
"Soooo.. You're Rica. It was nice meeting you. Bye b*tch." And I smirked at her at sumunod na kay Ms. L'sie.
"I apologize for what happened, Ms. Lexa. She was new." Sabi ni Ms. L'sie paglabas namin ng elevator. Aww. Bago lang pala tapos naterminate agad? Kasalanan nya din naman eh. Bakit kasi nangmamata sya. Tss.
Papunta kami ngayon sa office nya.
Pagpasok namin, pinaupo nya kami ni Charry sa couch and told us to feel at ease.
"So.. Ms. Lexa, you said that you've considered our offer?"
Nangiti naman ako. "Yes, if it still stands, I'm accepting it."
"Of course it still stands." Ang lapad ng ngiti ni Ms. L'sie.
Pinakuha nya yung contract sa secretary nyang si Anne. We discussed the terms and when both parties were satisfied, we sealed the deal.
I got signed into STORM.
*****
In three months' time, I succeeded with achieving that 'perfect' body.
Pumayat ako. My body had a drastic improvement, as well as my image. Kasi kung dati, kahit ano na lang ang maisoot ko, ngayon kelangan lagi nang nakasunod sa latest trends.
I became the epitome of an it-girl. And Ms. L'sie was more than happy with the outcome..
I was bound to be launched as the new face of STORM. Something I am so excited for.
Eto na yun. Malapit na yung time na makakabawi ako. But for now, we're gonna partyyyyyyy!!!
I asked Charry to contact some of our friends, and yes, including Ethan.
Since that day that I got signed into STORM, naglie low ako. In three months, lumalabas pa din naman ako. But we made sure na walang makakakita sa akin na kakilala ko. My family, Charity, Ms. L'sie, my personal trainor, and the people from the agency. Sila lang yung nakakaalam sa mga nangyayari sa akin nung buong tatlong bwan na yun. I also stayed silent sa social media.
The plan was to shock everyone.
"Lexa, okay na. Nagconfirm na lahat ng tinawagan ko. Saka nakausap ko na din yung owner nung club. They're closing down that night para solo natin yung place." Sabi ni Charry nung naghahang-out kami sa condo ko. Kakatapos ko lang kasi i-fit yung mga damit na pinadala ni Ms. L'sie. Sila na din kasi yung nagde-decide kung ano ang mga pwede kong isoot. Okay lang naman din sakin yun, less hassle.
"Thats good. Thanks Charry. I dont know what I'll do without you. Anyway, is Ethan coming?"
"Para san pa't partners-in-crime tayo? Haha. And about Ethan.. Yes, he's coming. At mukang dadalin ang girlfriend." Sabi ni Charry na naka evil smile.
"What!? Sino? Si hipon?"
"Yep. Yung hipon na binudburan ng harina kaya nagmukang tempura."
"Sila pa din? Woah. Tumagal sila ni Ethan? Bago yun ah."
"I know.. Mukhang tinamaan si Ethan dun. O di kaya magaling lang yung hipon sa ano? Hahahahaha!"
"Eww Charry. Nakakabother yung thought. Hahahaha. More like nagayuma siguro. Pero siguro mahilig lang talaga si Ethan sa seafood?"
"Pwede din. Hahahaha."
At nagtawanan lang kami habang nilalait yung hipon at yung barbecue stick. *Hahahaha. Trololol. ;D
