Farah Gimeno was asked by her sicked friend to work with the rumored boss monster for one day in exchange of the front seat ticket for the F1 race.
For Farah, the deal is easy. Just like how you ate a candy. Remove the wrapper then you can take wha...

I LOOKED up and let myself lingered with this huge tower in front of me. Kumikinang ang bawat window panel. Tiyak akong sa taas nito, kapag nasa ituktok ay nakakalula. Sino ba ang nakaisip nito? Tatlong tore sa tabi ng dagat at bundok ng North Gate?
I shrugged my shoulder and invited myself in. Cleo told me that her boss office is in the left wing, eightieth floor. I watched the busy employee walking side by side with me. Wow! All of them are looking corporate with their suits and ties, male or female. Even the place, staircase or chairs were tidy, properly arrange and refreshing from my sight. Don't forget the scent, it smells expensive and nice.
Welcome to Cleopatra's world, Farah! My inner thought said.
"Excuse me!" a woman under her business attire whispered. I gave way and watched the other three woman. All of them are sexy and respectable. Looking clean and brainy.
Napatingin ako sa aking suot. A grandma's gray cardigan, inside of it was my favorite printed white t-shirt, then paired with a peach pencil cut skirt and black stocking. My shoes made me more melt. An old wedge sandal. This is what my best friend normally wear when she's going here. But while wearing it I feel I don't belong?
"Miss Farah?"
Gulat kong nilingon ang tumawag sa akin.
A man under his three-piece suit approached me. That friendly smile on his lips assured me that I can trust him. He knew me.
"Yes, Sir."
"This way please."
Sinundan ko siya sa pribadong elevator. Ako'y nasa likod, siya ay sa harapan. Napa-mental jolt down ako. May bukod na elevator landing nga pala ang opisina ni Boss Monster. Nakalimutan ko!
"Did Cleo endorse to you the rules?"
Ah, mag-stay daw sa desk at huwag maingay. Kahit sinong elementary kayang gawin 'yan. Ako pa kaya?
"Yes, Sir."
"Just follow the rules and Cleo's position will be fine. Miss Farah, welcome to Vixie left wing tower." Exactly as he ends the talk, the door pushed open. He motioned me the way, I stepped out and gave respect before I spun around.
Gaya ng inaasahan ko. Opisina naman. Hindi mukhang bahay ng engkanto. Nawala ang naunang kaba na naramdaman ko. Tumatango ako habang tinitiklop ang aking sleeves.
This will be easy. Fighting, Farah!
Dumiretso ako sa cubicle ni Cleopatra. Hindi mahirap hanapin 'yon dahil nasa sentro. May mga sticky note at ilang pictures naming dalawa roon. Telepono, desktop, isang cellphone na nakasaksak pa sa charger ang naabutan ko. Bago magsimula sa trabahong habilin sa akin ay nag-text muna ako sa kanya.
Farah: Nasa loob na ako. Ang ganda pala rito.
Wala siyang reply kaya binuksan ko muna ang desktop. May quotation doon na nagsasabing, Don't let fear eat you.
