The Truth Is Not True

chapter 4 - Her friends

Colet's POV

Looks like another day, another clash between me and my boss for you guys.

We're like Tom and Jerry, always at each other's throats. It's because we're both competitive. And good news, I've been here at her company for two weeks now!🥳

I guess the two of us have just gotten used to expressing our feelings through a hate-and-hate relationship.

Flashback:

Jhoanna: “You! Where the hell did you go?! Bigla-bigla kang nawawala sa opisina ko! 'Di ka man lang nagpaalam.” She stated as if she's like a dragon from a movie. Feeling jowa ang galawan amp. Jojowain ko sana eh kaso mukhang magiging under ako kaya 'wag nalang.

“Nagmerienda lang ho ako saglit sa canteen.” I reasoned honestly.

Jhoanna: “The reports that I have ordered you to type? Tapos na ba?”

“Yes, Boss! I also gave the letters sa CC department on my way to the canteen.”

Jhoanna: “Type this one and hurry up! Finish it in 30 minutes. I need those papers.”  She immediately placed the drafts on my table that I needed to finish in about 30 minutes.

Jhoanna: “Kapag inulit mo ulit ang hindi mo pagpapaalam, lalagyan kita ng absent sa report mo! Kaya sa susunod magpapaalam ka or magtext para alam ko kung saang lupalop ka ng mundo nagsisisingit!”

Nakaka-init siya ng ulo. Bakit last time nagmerienda siya! Saka pwede namang magrest kahit onti ahhh. Tao rin naman ako, nagugutom rin. Hindi niya ba maintindihan 'yon? Well, asal hayo— haysss.

“Hindi ko naman po alam na may ipapautos pa pala po kayo. Saka nagawa ko naman po yung huling iniutos niyo. Tao lang din naman po ako, nauubusan ng lakas at nagugutom.”

Jhoanna: “I did not say na you cannot have your merienda. Ang sa akin lang, magpaalam ka para hindi ako nanghuhula kung saan ka pumupunta!” She was literally angry because her words were almost shouting.

“Sino ba kasing nagsabing hulaan mo kung nasaan ako? Naglalaro ka ba mag-isa ng charades or pinoy henyo habang wala ako?” I couldn't help but respond again. It's just frustrating when she brings up those things.

Jhoanna: “Porket may kapit ka sa Lola ko it doesn't mean na you can throw sarcastic remarks on me! Baka nakakalimutan mo kung ano ang posisyon ko at ang posisyong pinasukan mo!”

“Oh don't worry, Boss. I know my place. You are my boss and I am your secretary. But it doesn't mean that you can put me down whenever you want. You have the power, but I also have the power to speak and defend myself.”
