This is what I'm saying! I told mom that Cayenne doesn't fit in the company, pero hindi niya parin ako pinakinggan. Just look what had happened at the lobby. Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng iba naming empleyado? That there is favoritism at pabor-pabor sa pagtrato ng mga applicants? And that Cayenne is known by the family ay pwede niyang ipamukha sa ibang empleyado na kilala namin siya.

Oh come on!

"Bridgitte," I called my secretary when I reached the entrance of my office. She lifted her face,"Yes Sir?"

"See to it that Miss Cayenne Zosobrado will be interviewed today, and tell her that she needs to report early tomorrow for her training," I instructed Bridgitte, "and please, ikaw na ang bahala sa kaniya. Just inform me how she's doing."

"Yes Sir," Bridgitte politely nodded, "would that be all Sir."

"Yes," I shrugged, "that would be all, and thank you." Just like any good son, kahit ayaw kong ipasok si Cayenne sa kumpanya, which is she didn't meet the standard qualification for the said position, kailangan ko parin siyang ipasok dahil na rin sa kagustuhan ng aking ina.

I don't know why Mom really likes that woman. Even my dad likes her too, they said Cayenne is the daughter that they never had. Actually, ninong niya si Dad, so that would make Cayenne as my kinakapatid. They said that Cayenne makes them happy whenever she's around, specially Mom.

Okay, sige... I'll respect that, if that's their reason. But, hindi naman ata makatarungan, araw-araw ko na nga siyang nakikita sa bahay ay gusto pa niya talagang magtrabaho sa kumpaniya.

I told Mom, she can hire Cayenne as her employee in her pastry house, pero ayaw niya. Sabi niya hindi fitted si Cayenne, but she's good at cooking. Well, yes, I've tried and tasted her cookings, and yes I admit it's really delicious.

I lazily sat on my swivel chair, I don't know pero ke-aga-aga pa ay na i-stress ako sa babaeng iyon. I'm sure my mother would be very happy tonight if I'll tell her the news--Cayenne in the company working with me.

CAYENNE~

Natapos rin ang boring na interview with this blonde lady na nagpakilalang Bridgitte. Secretary raw siya ni Lionel. Ka-swerte naman niya! Naiinggit tuloy ako! Lagi niyang kasama ni JR.

Hindi ko maiwasan na ma-insecure. Ganda ever kasi eh, maputi, mahahaba ang legs at ang laki ng...boobs! Hindi ko maiwasan ang sulyapan ang sa akin. Malaki naman kasing laki ng cheese bread na tig-2.50 isa, pwede na! Kailangan ko lang gumamit ng bra na may foam para naman emphasized na emphasized!

"May gusto ka bang itanong, o hindi na intindihan?" Napapitlag ako nang bigla siyang magsalita. Hihihi sarreh lang! Masyado akong concentrate sa pagkikilatis sa kaniya.

You know na what I mean! Hindi ba't uso ang love affair or office afair between boss and secretary, gaya sa mga binabasa kong kwento sa pocketbooks or wattpad. Minsan pa nga sa teleserye o sa sine. Oh di ba? Di ba?

"Ah eh... Yes Ma'am. I-i mean este no Ma'am. Loud and clear, bukas po mag-re-report na ako para mag-training."

"Okay, that would be all. I'll wait for you to drop by at Mr. Andriotti's office. Nasa labas lang naman yung desk ko." Ngumiti siya sa akin, wow! Ang puti ng kaniyang ngipin nakakasilaw. Siguro close up toothpaste nito. "Welcome to the company Miss Zosobrado." Nilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay sa harapan ko, kinuha ko naman iyon at nakipagkamay. In fairness! Onion skin! I mean ang lambot at ang nipis ng kaniyang kamay.
