Misfit

XXIX

Free day kami ngayon. Since hindi ako kasali sa mga cheering practices I was just at home. Theodore on the other hand didn't join as well. May gagawin daw siya ngayon sa company ni Mr Leon.

I didn't ask what it is about. Since I have some problems at the company as well. I asked Theo if I can visit today since siya always does it. He said it was okay and that we'll meet later at lunch.

Paalis na 'ko ng bahay nung tumawag si Ate Jane sa'kin.

"Yes, Ate Jane?"

"Papunta na 'kong office. 'Wag mo na 'kong sunduin sa bahay." She said.

"Alright. I'll see you in a bit."

I took my Ferrari and went to our main building.

I didn't inform anyone except ate Jane that I'll be going to our office today. Since I always do my work from home.

A valet went to park my car since sa entrance ako dumaan.

Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko everyone seems to be shocked. 'Yong iba nagmamadali na nag-aayos sa kung saan.

It's just me. Why bother, I won't fire you just because you exist or maybe because nabalitaan nila 'yong nangyayari sa ibang branch.

I didn't smile when I came in because it will be much scarier for them if I did.

"Hello, Ma'am O. You didn't notify us that you'll be coming today." Sabi sa'kin sa reception. Habang binibigay sa'kin 'yong keycard ng office ko.

Since I don't usually work here, dito ko iniiwan ang keycard and my office is always locked.

"Oh, nothing urgent. I just have something to discuss with ate Jane." I said and they nodded. I went to the elevator and went up to my office.

I have the half of this floor for myself, the other half was meeting rooms. Do'n usually ginaganap 'yong mga presentations and shareholder meetings.

Pagkatap ko ng keycard unang bumungad sa'kin and gray walls. At first my Mom, wanted to paint it white but I declined. Magmukhang hospital pa 'tong office ko.

It's like an apartment here, actually. May living room to accept guest, small kitchen and bedroom. But syempre hindi mawawala 'yong black desk ko. There's a small walk-in closet as with some office attires just in case I needed some.

Overall, the room was okay. But what happens within this office isn't. It's sometimes too depressing.

Nakakapagod. Nakakadrain. But who am I to rant about all of this?

I was just making myself coffee sa small kitchen when ate Jane arrived.

"Ate, do you want some coffee?"

"No need, nagkape na 'ko sa bahay. Thanks!"

Umupo kami sa may parang living room dito sa office ko.

And she told me every detail she discovered while digging about the Xianons.

I was furious after reading and hearing all about it.

Theodore and I meet at a restaurant in BGC.

I wasn't in the best mood when he met me so he decided to order us food.

"Did anything happen? You seem to be in a bad mood? Okay ka lang ba?" He asked.

"There's just problems sa office."

"I know it's not something you can't handle." He smiled.

"Are we going to school after this?"
