"Louise bakit ba nagmamadali ka na naman? Eat your breakfast first hija"
"No, I need to go to the office mom"
Agad na kinuha ni Louise ang kanyang Louis Vuitton bag at inabot ang susi ng kanyang kotse.
"Hija please makinig ka naman sakin, you've been doing this for days"
Louise stopped moving and looked at her worried mother.
"Mom I will be fine, I really need to go because I'm almost late"
"Para namang iiwan ka ng trabaho mo kapag na late ka ng ilang minuto"
She let out a sigh before sitting beside her mom. Louise started eating her food.
"Mom I really don't like being late, you know that right?"
"I know hija, ever since you're a kid laging nag iinit ulo mo kapag may late or ikaw ang na late"
"Its just time is important mom, it does not stop for us"
"Alright, finish your food"
"Good morning ladies"
Louise looked at her back and saw her older sister walking towards them.
"Iris late ka na naman umuwi kagabi"
"Oh mom I am very sorry, medyo napasarap ang kwentuhan namin ni Danny last night eh" sagot ni Iris
Hearing the familiar name, Louise scoffed which made her mom and sister look at her.
"Don't tell me you are dating him? Gosh Iris"
Iris smirked and sat in front of them. She finds it funny with the idea of dating Danny.
"Of course not baby Louise, I hate boys remember hahaha"
"Kayong dalawa, quit arguing na ah. Malaki na kayo, no need for childish fights" biglang sabi ng mommy nila
"We're not fighting mom, anyway I need to go na" Louise said
"But you have not yet touched your coffee" Iris said
Louise rolled her eyes while looking at her sister.
"I prefer drinking coffee in my office" she said
"You mean you prefer drinking Czarina's coffee?"
Iris giggled seeing her sister's reaction. Parang dragon na anytime ay magbubuga na ng apoy.
"Who's Czarina? Is she back?" tanong ng kanilang mommy
"My new assistant mom" sagot lang ni Louise
"Na-uh, Czarina's her new crush mommy. Oh! Is it really your new crush little sister? Para kasing familiar yung name niya sakin" Iris said
"I don't have time for your nonsense speculations Iris, mom I will get going na. Drink your vitamins and medicine okay? I'll see you later"
Louise walked out, hindi na niya hinayaang makapagsalita na naman si Iris. She took her things and went outside.
"Good morning ma'am" bati ng kanilang guard
"Morning manong, where's my porsche car?"
"Yung 911 po ba?"
She immediately nodded, it's been her favorite car.
"Nakapark na po sa front gate ma'am" sagot nito
"Oh okay, thanks"
She started walking, once she reached the front gate Louise saw her car.
"Gosh I'm frickin late tss"
Louise immediately went inside the car.
Agad na pinaharurot nito ang sasakyan paalis ng subdivision.

Czarina's Pov
"What if di pumasok si ma'am, lalamig na yung coffee na ginawa ko for her"
I keep checking the time and also the door. Halos thirty minutes na siyang late. Even so, I still checked the emails and sent her the schedule for this whole week.
Medyo sinipag ako kahapon kaya buong week ang nagawa ko. I'm getting used in my tasks kahit na wala pa akong isang linggo.
That's what I love about myself. Mabilis lang ako mag adjust.
The door opened, I quickly stood up and smiled at her. She looked at me and to her table.
"Where's my coffee?"
Seems like nagmadali ito, she's panting. I offered her the cup of coffee. Umupo siya sa kanyang swivel chair.
"Ma'am I already sent your schedule for this week, I also checked the emails, there's a new investor from-"
"Miss Lopez please, let me breathe first" she suddenly said
Naitikom ko ang bibig ng wala sa oras.
"Sorry po"
She ignored me and just drank her coffee. Babalik na sana ako sa pwesto ko pero bigla niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"Yes po ma'am?" tanong ko
"N-Nothing"
She does not sound good. May problema kaya si ma'am?
"Okay po"
She seemed pre occupied at the moment, hindi pa niya nabibitawan yung kamay ko.
"Ma'am yung kamay ko po" sabi ko rito
"I know" she said
Huh? Ano daw? Anong she knows? Eh di dapat bitawan niya na ako diba kasi alam niya, hindi ba niya gets yung gusto ko?
"Ma'am-"
"Can you stay beside me? I need to clear something"
"Beside po? Pero ma'am yung emails po kasi..."
"Forget that, I need you beside me Czarina"
Nanglaki ata mata ko sa aking narinig. Okay lang kaya tong boss ko?
"O-Okay po"
Kumuha ako ng upuan at tahimik na tumabi sa kanya.
"I will be visiting the farm next month, the farms in Quezon need to get checked. Can you do me a favor? During weekends I want you to learn how to drive"
Weekends? Seryoso ba siya? Eh rest day ko yun.
"I know it's not in the contract but I can't drive all day din kasi" she added
"Ma'am-"
"I'll pay it, your weekends. Just let me teach you Czarina"
Wow, ano kayang nakain nito, parang ang bait bait bigla sakin.
"Ngayong month lang naman po diba? Pano kung di ako matuto agad?" tanong ko
She chuckled and pointed herself.
"I'm Louise Irene Smith dear, failing isn't an option in my terms. Believe me or not, matututo ka sakin"
Hot, hot, hot as if! Natameme ako sa sinabi niya, my gosh ngayon lang to nangyari sakin!
I dated girls before but it's my first time getting flattered by simple words.
"So is it a yes or a yes Czarina?" she asked
"Nine in the morning ma'am" sabi ko na lang
"Sure, I'll give you the address. See you on Saturday, oh I almost forgot...we always see each other everyday pala"
Umiwas ako ng tingin, oo nga hindi ka ba nagsasawa ma'am?
"Ma'am pwede na po ba ako bumalik sa pwesto ko?"
"Go ahead"
Umalis na ako at bumalik sa upuan ko.
"Thank you Czari" she suddenly said
Agad akong lumingon pero nakita ko siyang nagbukas na ng laptop.
Ano raw? Hindi ko narinig yung huli niyang sinabi, bulong na lang kasi.
