Tempting Mr. Perfect (PUBLISHED UNDER PRECIOUS PAGES)

Eleven

Like what's planned, umakyat ako sa 15th floor para magtungo sa opisina ni Sir Ivan.

"Here are the files you wanted to see." I said as soon as I sat on one of the chairs infront of his table.

Sir Ivan is about 5'9 in height. Chinito, kasi tulad ng sabi ng mga babae dito sa opisina full chinese ang mommy niya. He has the magazine type of smile. Mabait pa. Kaya siguro, okay na na sa kanya ako magrereport.

"This is very good." He said as he scan the files. "Tama talaga ang desisyon kong ipangalan na sa iyo yun." I look at him dumfounded.

"Ang alin Sir?" He took a folder beneath his desk and hand it to me.

"This. Another account. Pero this is out of your comfort zone. This is a new brand of perfume for ad in seven different magazines. Are you brave enough for this one Tonie?"

Walang anu-anong tumango ako. Aarte pa ba ako? Patapos na rin naman ako sa  Blossoms Condo account. Opening na nito next week Wednesday, so okay na na tumanggap ako ng bagong account.

"Great, that would be all." He stood up and shook my hand. "I hope this would not be the last Tonie." I nod.

"I promise I won't disappoint Sir." Saka ako umalis ng opisina niya.

The next day wala nanaman akong natanggap na text o tawag kay Heath. Hindi ko rin siya nasalubong sa opisina buong umaga.

Bumaba ako sa cafeteria bandang lunch break dahil gusto kong kumain ng ice cream. Wala kasi akong ganang kumain ngayon dahil wala si Karla na kasabay ko.

Pagkababa ko ng elevator, nakita ko si Heath na pumasok sa cafeteria. Anak naman ng tokwa! Bat ngayon pa? Ngayong hindi na ako ready na makita siya?!

Nagmadali akong pumasok sa tabing restroom ng cafeteria. Naihi ako bigla.

Pagkatapos kong iihi ang kaba ko, inayos ko ng mabuti ang sarili ko sa harap ng salamin. "You can do this Antoinette Louvelle. You can bring your evil boss down the ash." I chanted at myself infront of the mirros. I took a deep breath and headed my way to the cafeteria.

I walked with my face held high, confidence level higher than Everest. Swinging my hips more than it should, fluttering my eyes in an exaggerated manner.

I know everyone is looking at me inside the staff's cafeteria. It's lunch time and they are far more interested in me rather than their food. And I like the attention. Going to get some water in the dispenser, some men watch me like hawks. Yes. That's me. I am a lady worth of that.

Then Heath, a.k.a Mr. Good for Nothing, a.k.a Mr. Devil, a.k.a my Boss, went beside me and chuckled.

One deep, sexy chuckle.

Then Heath leaned down to whisper something in my ear. "Antoinette."

I beamed at him, "Yes Sir?"

Then he again chuckled, "Your skirt is stuck inside your panties."

I looked behind me. And indeed! My skirt is stuck inside my panties!!

ANAK NG PITONG TUPA NA KINAIN NG PATING! BAKIT SA DINAMI DAMI NG ARAW BAKIT KAILANGANG NGAYON PA MANGYARI SA AKIN TO?!
