“Ms. Rivera!?” Cielo yell on top of her lungs for her secretary– Maki Rivera.
In no time, a woman came rushing inside her office and she stood in front of her with a mouth stuffed with food. A sandwich on her left hand and a lot of stacked papers on her right arm.
“Where is the document I need–?!” before Cielo could finish what she was about to say, Maki bite onto her Sandwich letting her teeth hold on to the food for a moment so she can use her other hand. She arranged the stacked papers on top of her boss's table and nodded at her. As if saying, ‘there you go.’ Kinuha ni Maki ang pagkain na naka salpak sa kaniyang bibig at nilunok ang natitirang laman ng kaniyang bibig.
“Iyan na po, Ma'am.” Maki said smiling widely at the woman sitting before her. While doing what she just did, Cielo was just staring at her secretary intently, her gaze is boring onto the woman criticizing each of Maki's movement.
“Oh, andito na pala 'yan, bakit hindi mo agad ibinigay? Mas inuna mo pa talaga yung pagkain.” Cielo reprimands, with seriousness lacing on her tone.
Maki stood there, looking at Cielo absentmindedly. Not garnering any response from the woman, Cielo became enraged by this. She slammed her hand on her table, cutting Maki's trance off.
“Po?” The latter innocently said nang mabalik ito sa ulirat niya.
“Ms. Rivera, do you really want this job?” Cielo said composing her posture, sitting backwards into her office chair.
“I do– I mean, yes ma'am.” Maki bit the inside of her cheeks because of her absentminded answers. Mukhang masisisante pa siya nang wala sa oras.
“What did I do ma'am?” Mahina niyang sa boss niyang nakakunot ang noo na naman.
‘lagi ba siya galit? I mean, kahit ba outside ng work, ganiyan siya?’ Maki thought.
“To be honest, you're being sluggish, unproductive, and your mind seems to be preoccupied most of the time. And I don't want that kind of employee or even those attitudes when it comes to work, have a place in my workspace.”
‘Too much for being honest, don't you think, Ms. Cielo?’ Maki thought to herself.
“Are you firing me, Ms. Madrigal?” Maki asked while plastering a smile on her face.
“Oh bakit ka pa nakangiti kung ganoon gagawin ko?”
“Tinatanong lang naman kasi, ikaw kaya bos dito 'no.” Pabirong sabi ni Maki sa Boss niya.
“I might have to if you don't have any progress at all.”
“So... I'm still employed, right?” Maki said with a twinkle in her eyes looking at Cielo.
“You might not be if you continue asking me.” Cielo said averting her attention towards the papers now setting on her table and started flipping the pages of it.
“Oh kumpleto yan ah. Even yung mga backlogs ko. Charot, always on time pala ako magpasa.” Nakangiting sabi nito sa boss niya, na may halong pang aasar.
‘Anong unproductive pinagsasabi nito? Eh I'm always on time nga eh.’ Maki thought to herself.
‘Pasensya na napindot nanaman ni anger kanina.’ Cielo thought.
