Alluring Glances (SCS #1)

11.

I would like to apologize for the long inactiveness. The chapters here are all edited but, I do not have time to publish because of busy schedules but, hey! Our research was successfully defended and our performance task gained a perfect score! Everything's worth it! Maybe now, I'll have more time to publish all the chapters of this story and to write the next ones! Thank you!!!

I look at myself in the mirror. No'ng ako pa si Vanessa na nagmomodelo, kilala ako ng mga tao dahil sa signature hair color ko. It's the black and red color of my hair. Some strands are color black and some are color red. That reminds people of me, Vanessa Anderson.

Now, my hair color is just pure black. The red strands aren't there anymore. Ginupitan ko pa kaya ibang-iba ang hairstyle sa dati. It gave me another look. Plus, the absence of make up made me look like a complete different person. I'm wearing baggy shirts, different from the dresses and tops I've been wearing before. Completely different.

I look like a simple girl, not the model one but, I don't know why I got nervous when Kaloy said I look like someone. Naisip ko kaagad kung nakilala ba niya ako bilang Vanessa Anderson.

At isa pa... anong sabi niya kanina?

I look like his crush? Is he for real?

Hindi ko na naitanong 'yon sa kaniya nang makarating kami sa restaurant. He introduced me to the manager who immediately interview me. He asked for requirements and told me to bring it the next day. Matapos no'n ay nag-aya muna si Kaloy na kumain doon. Mabuti na lang at hindi na niya in-open ang topic na sinabi niya kanina.

After that, he brought me home. Nagpaalam na siya na papasok na sa trabaho niya at umalis na.

Now, it's already 1 in the afternoon. Nakakain na rin naman ako kaya wala na akong gagawin. I should prepare my requirements for now.

Inabala ko ang sarili ko sa paghahanda ng requirements ko sa pagpasok sa trabaho.

"Oh shoot..." I whispered when I realized one thing. "My real name is written here," sabi ko. Tulala akong nakatitig sa dokumento na kakailanganin ko. My name is written there, giving me an identity as Vanessa Anderson.

What do I do?

In the middle of my dillema, my phone beeped. Akala ko si mama 'yon o kaya si Sarus pero, nang tingnan ko ay nakita ko ang text mula kay Kaloy. I opened it and read his message.

Karion: Madam...

Karion: Pinapasabi sa akin ni manager na hindi mo na daw kailangang maghanda ng requirement mo.

Karion: Magtrabaho ka na daw bukas, sabay ka sa akin sa pagpasok.

"Huh?" I muttered, clearly in disbelief. Anong nangyayari? Bakit parang sinuswerte yata ako?

Naguguluhan man, nagtipa na rin ako ng reply kay Kaloy.

Vanessa: Maraming salamat, Kaloy!

Confirming what Kaloy said, an unknown number sent me text, introducing as the manager of the restaurant earlier. He introduced himself as Luke Sebastian. I thanked him and suddenly felt relieve. Hindi ko alam kung anong mahika ang nangyari. Kanina lang ay naguguluhan pa ako sa gagawin pero, mukhang swerte ako dahil nag-chat si Kaloy at sinabi 'yon.
