Tumikhim ako bago magsalita. Para kasing may bara ang lalamunan ko.
"So?", untag ni Mr. Sungit.
"Ahm. Gusto ko lang pong linawin, Mr. Su- Dela Costa na seryoso po ako sa pag-aapply ko dito pero kung ayaw niyo akong i-hire dahil sa nangyari sa airport at elevator, sana naman po diretsuhin niyo na'ko. Hindi yung pahihirapan niyo pa'ko then sa huli ay aayawan niyo din pala. Masakit po yun eh, alam niyo yun. Yung paaasahin ka tapos sa huli wala ka lang din palang mapapala. Yung ganun", mahaba kong litanya. Syempre kailangan kong makasiguro na hindi nya 'to ginagawa para lang paglaruan ako.
Nagsalubong ang kilay ko ng marinig ko siyang mahinang tumawa. What is so funny?
"I said, introduce yourself. Hindi ko sinabing humugot ka. But okay, to make everything clear, don' t worry. I don't hold any grudge towards you. I play fair, Ms. Maharlika. So please, tell me about yourself", nakangiti nitong sabi. Fair? How can it be fair eh sa ngiti niya pa lang di na'ko makaimik. Syete naman oh.
"Ms. Maharlika?"
"H-ha? Ah. Yeah, okay. Ahm. Pwede po bang time first muna? Pwede pong humingi ng tubig?"
"Oh. Sure." Pinindot nito ang intercom para tawagin ang secretary nito.
"Ylla, get some water for Ms. Maharlika", utos nito at di man lang hinintay ang sagot ni Ylla at tinapos agad ang tawag. What a boss!
Ilang sandali lang ay pumasok ulit si Ylla na may dala dala ng isang basong tubig.
"Here's your water, Miss."
Inabot ko ang baso sabay tango sa kanya. Huminga ako ng malalim matapos kong ubusin ang tubig. Okay, kaya ko 'to!

Brixton's POVPinipigilan ko lang ang mangiti sa nakikita kong ekspresyon sa mukha niya. It's so evident that she's nervous. Well, I am serious in hiring her but it won't hurt to have some fun, right? And looking at her flushed face right now is somehow fun for me.
"Ahm. Well, I am Martina Maharlika, but you can call me Marti for short-"
"Well, I prefer Martina. Would that be alright?", putol ko sa sasabihin niya.
"Yes, sir. It's fine with me."
I just nod to let her continue talking.
"I am 22 years old. I took up BS Accountancy and graduated on March 2015 as a cum laude. I took and passed the board exam last October..."
Hindi ko na narinig ang iba pa niyang sinabi. I just can't help but stare at her face as she talks. The way her eyes light up as she talks about her academic achievements. The way she lick her lips after a few sentence is just so seductive. And the way she bite her lower lip as she thinks of anything else to say is just so tempting, tempting me to bite those plump lips of hers. Why is it so hot in here all of a sudden?
Natigilan ako sa pagtitig sa kanya ng makita kong tumaas ang kilay niya. Tapos na pala siyang magsalita.
"Do you have any questions, sir?"
"What are your strength and weaknesses?"
"As I said KANINA po, I am a very flexible person in the sense that I can deal with different people in a changing environment. My weakness is that I hate it when the person I am talking to is not lestining to what I say."
Napatikhim ako sa sinabi niya. Okay, flexible indeed and fiesty.
"Actually, Martina I don't want to hire you as an accountant. I have a different offer for you. So let's see if you are really as flexible as you said."
