Camilla's POV

Hindi na lamang ako nagsalita.

"Really, Camilla?!" He used my name. It means he is serious and angry.

"I can't let them bully him. He's going to be the father of my child and he wants to keep this job to support me and the child-"

"What?!" Bigla niyang sigaw. Napapikit ako sa reaksyon niya. "This is why you've been absent all this time because you're pregnant?! And top of that Terrence is the father!"

I forgot he doesn't know I'm pregnant.

"Is this why you want me to investigate Terrence!? I thought you're just an obsessed fan of his!"

Nirolyo ko ang mata. Nakatayo na siya ngayon habang naglalakad paruon parito.

"Boss, this is a lot to take in! I- I should be here guiding and taking care of you!"

"You're my secretary-"

"And your personal assistant!" Pagdadagdag niya.

Natigilan naman ako sa sinabi niya at napaupo ng maayos. Napangiti ako nang may naisip.

"Actually, you're right. You should be here with me." Sabi ko.

"Right!" Sabay ngiti niya at umupo.

"You can take care of me as well as become Terrence PA!"

Nawala naman ang ngiti niya. "What?"

"Terrence and May wants to hire a PA but they are reluctant because they don't want the PA to betray them and tell the public about me."

"Wait. They are keeping you a secret?"

"Yes. It will be a big scandal for Terrence and I don't want to be a burden for him."

Di naman siya makapaniwalang tumingin sa akin. "He sure is lucky."

Terrence's POV

It's okay. It was just co-worker of her. No big deal. Calm down, Ter. She already introduce me to him but why am I still anxious?

Sila lang dalawa sa condo ngayon. Hindi naman siguro sila gagawa ng masama diba?

Di ko na napigilan ang sarili at binuksan ang isang app kung saan makikita ko ang video na mula sa CCTV na nasa condo.

I'm afraid, anxious and guilty for doing this. I shouldn't pry but I can't help it.

Nang buksan ko ang video ay pinindot ko ang living room para mas makita sila ng maayos.

Natigilan naman ako sa nakita.

Camilla's smiling like she's enjoying the guy's company. Nilagay ko ang cellphone ko sa salamin at idinantay doon habang tinitingnan ko siya.

Now, I really feel guilty. How could I think bad of her?

I could see the laptop and papers around her. She's reading those while signing the papers as well as talking to the guy.

Camilla's really a responsible person. Even though she already asked for a leave, she's still working.

Seeing her now makes me love my job even more. I'm so lucky that I could do this job while enjoying it.

"Ter, are you ready? You should be there by 10 minutes."

Napatingin ako sa salamin kung sino ang pumasok.

It's one of the staff.

"Yes, Julie. I'll be there." Sabay ngiti ko. Tumayo na ako.
