Work

Ibinaba ko ang bag ko sa cubicle ko.

"Celastrina Delara Aurilio." Tawag ng kung sino sa akin.

The prominent and well-known bank manager called me. Ngumiti ako at magalang na yumuko.

"Magandang umaga po." Bati ko.

She smiled and pat my back.

"Welcome to Horizon Crest. I reviewed your portfolio and was amazed by your accomplishments, cumlaude, and being in the top ten of the board, impressive..."

"Thank you po." Ngumiti ako.

Tinuro niya ang isang lalaki. With those eyes, he appears familiar. I shrugg it and tried to smile at Sir Nash.

"That's Nash, your supervisor. He's in charge of your training..." Sabi nito sa akin sa napakalumay na boses. " Have you oriented Celastrina already?" Tanong niya kay Nash.

"Mag orient palang po."

She nodded.

"Alright, I'll leave you two, so you can start your day."

Pareho naming tinitigan ang papalayong likod ng manager. Hinarap ako ni Nash at nginitian.

"Shall we start?"

I smiled back a little and nodded my head.

Nash informed me that our clients are from the Philippines' wealthiest family. Some of our clients are business magnates, public leaders, and celebrities. I was concerned that I might see some recognizable faces but I shrugg it off.

Professionalism and confidentiality are our top priorities in dealing with such high-profile clients. I reminded myself that treating every client with the same level of respect and dedication is what truly matters. As I prepared for the upcoming meetings, I focused on providing the best possible service, regardless of who I might encounter.

All I need to do is record their daily transactions and put them in the banks system . This involves carefully documenting each transaction, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. Accuracy and attention to detail are essential in this job in order to ensure that the records are correct and that the bank's system is up-to-date...at marami pang ibang gagawin.

Nilingon ko ang huling cubicle at para tignan si Veina. While speaking with Sir Nash, she is smiling. She quickly adjusted and began conversing with several of the employees.

All of the new employees was introduced to some of the old employees. I was relieved when they greeted us so kindly. I was worried about facing unfriendly or strict coworkers. Mabuti nalang at mababait silang lahat.

When lunch came, pumunta si Viena sa cubicle ko para mag aya kumain sa labas. Sir Nash went to us to take us for lunch. We went outside of the bank to eat at his favorite restaurant just near the establishments.

Nagtaka ako dahil nakita ko ang kotsye ni Ash naka park sa gilid ng bangko. I confirmed it was him
When he open his door and he came out. I came to a halt and let the two walk away from me. Ash looked formal and expensive in his suit. His brow is furrowed but still looks charismatic. Lumapit si Ash sa akin at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

I reach for his forehead and massage it lessen the creased.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?"

"Dinalhan kita ng pagkain."

Bumaba ako tingin ko sa dala niyang pagkain.

"Thank you." Sabi ko. "Hindi ka na sana nag abala..."

"It's your first day at work, so I wanted to give you your lunch."
