It's Monday again and back to work nanaman. Kahapon, nagsimba lang kami at kumain sa labas. Naglaro lang sila ng XBOX pag dating all day samantalang ako ay pumirma ng mga firms na kailangan for the branches and sa company.
I'm on my way to the office from SJMIS after dropping them off
"Good Morning ma'am"
"Hi Ma'am"
"Good Morning"
"Morning ma'am"
I arrived with mostly everyone on the lobby. I looked at the time and it's 11:30, dapat nasa mga cubicles itong mga ito, ah?
"Why is everybody here?"
I asked Jason, the security guard. He too looks terrified dahil out of all people here, I decided to call him
"Uh, ma'am. May dumating daw po kasi. Yung VP po ng Bellus. Si Mr Evensen. Eh pinagkaguluhan po. Ma'am, model na po pala iyon noh?" aniya habang nagkakamot ng ulo. Kumunot ang noo ko. Anong ginagawa nito dito?
Pero si Luke, model? Kailan pa naging model ang harimaw na yun?
"Okay, kuya. Salamat po" and gave him a quick smile. Umaliwalas naman ang mukha nito at sumaludo sa akin
Naglakad ako sa gilid at tumikhim pero mukhang walang nakakapansin dahil busy na busy sila sa dadating daw na model.
"EVERYBODY QUIET" I yelled at the top of my lungs. And mismo, tumigil din sila. I arched an eyebrow. These women and their hormones should be controlled
"I believe that all of you are getting paid per hour and it doesn't seem like it's already break time. I see no reason why all of you should be down here. Get back to work" Nakita kong nataranta ang iba na parang narealize kung anong ginagawa nila. They all gave me an apologetic smile
I then walked towards the lift, the public one. Bago mag close ang lift, nakita kong nagsisialisan na sila. Mabuti naman
"Good Morning, ma'am. Coffee?" pag salubong ni Clarisse sa akin sa elevator. This one looks extra happy today. I don't meddle with people's business kaya I nodded
"Yes please"
"The usual?"
"Yes"
"Right away ma'am"
Pumasok na ako sa office at sinimulan na ang mga paperworks na kailangan ng mga pirma. I see no trace of Luke, kaya hindi ko alam kung saan na ang lalaking iyon
VP siya ng company, pero hindi siya dito naka base
Ang Manila base is for the departments, at sa Laguna yung mga head ng departments at VP at President. Dapat nandun din ako, kaso mas malayo sa mansion
"Here you go, ma'am"
"Appointments?"
"Uhm yes, ma'am. Lunch meeting with the board and meeting with Gold Line again. Contract signing, ma'am"
Napatingin kami ni Clarisse sa pintuan ng biglang may kumatok. Kinibit balikat niya lang ako dahil mukhang hindi niya din alam kung sino ito since nandito nga siya sa labas
"Come in"
I'm really not expecting anyone, but since I heard that Luke is coming, I hinted na si Luke ang paparating
"Hi Julie" pag pasok ni Luke na may hawak na bouquet. Lumapit siya sa table ko at umikot para ibeso ako. Binigay niya sa akin yung flowers at pinlace ko na lang ito sa table. He knows how much I adore roses kaya laging roses ang binibigay niya
