CHAPTER 0074

CHAPTER 0074

Anonymous POV

He has been thinking about that billboard for more than hour. He has been thinking about that woman over and over again. He was puzzled and confused yet his heart felt at ease.

He looked at his phone; he stared at the picture of a beautiful woman.

Yes, he took a photo of her.

He unconsciously took a photo of her. The thought of him acting like a stalker was nothing to him. Good thing Mark Lopez left when he unconsciously took a picture of her.

At times, he'd frown. He would frown when he'd remember the countless times he regarded her as cheap. He'd frown when he'd remember the many times he ignored her every time she would try to tell him about her true identity. Then He would smile, he'd smile when he'd realized how close they have been connected all along. He'd smile when he'd realized how destiny have played a trick on them.

He didn't believe in destiny, but now, he'd be more than pleased to play the game in his hands, and see how this game would turn out. He crossed his hands. Now, all that bothers him is how to make up with her for everything he said. But before that.. He has to have her number first. He thought for a while then said: "No, number is too lame." He smiled. Now he thought of a better idea.

Secretary Lopez, has a job to do for him.

Mark's POV

- "Hindi mo na maibabalik kung anong nagawa mo. Minahal kita ng buong puso pero anong ginawa mo? Niloko mo ako!"

*Sneeze

I blowed my nose. Kanina pa ako naiiyak sa pinapanood ko. Grabe, ang galing namang actress ni mahal ko. Talagang ako na, ako na ang number one fan niya!

Bukas na bukas, magpapatayo ako ng fan club niya, at ako, ako ang gagawin kong president, vice president, founder, coordinator at secretary! Ako na lahat! Wala akong pambayad ng tao eh!

Sisinga pa sana ulit ako pero biglang umurong ang sipon ko nang nakita kong pababa ng hagdan si Mighty Zeffa!

Agad kong sinara ang laptop niya at agad kong inayos ang sarili ko! Nakakagulat naman kasi siya! Akala ko hindi siya gutom eh anong ginagawa niya dito!?

Dumerecho siya sa sofa at umupo. Tinawag niya ako.

"Ipapahanda ko na po ang dinner niyo?" I said then bowed. I was waiting for his reply but there is none. So that means yes. Tatalikod na sana ako, but I stopped when he motioned his hand.

"No, I'm fine."

"Uh Yes, Mr. President." He crossed his arms and legs. Hinihintay ko siyang sabihin ang inuutos niya sa akin, nakatayo lang ako sa tabi niya, mahirap nang mapagalitan. Natagalan bago ulit siya nagsalita at pagkarinig ko sa sinabi niya, pakiramdam ko nabingi ako. Hindi, hindi lang nabingi, pakiramdam ko bangungot ito!!!

"Call Director Choi... and tell him to give me a copy of EVERY employees bio data."

"...Sir!!!!???"

"You want me to repeat what I said?"

"Sir, alam niyo namang walang trabaho ngayon di ba!? Nakakahiya naman ho kay Director Choi!"

"Ano ang nakakahiya?"

"Pasko ngayon Sir! Pasko!"

"So?"

So!? Anong So!? Pasko nga eh, kailangan ko pa bang i-explain sayo!? Akala ko ba matalino ka!!!???

"Baka naman kasi maabala ko siya Sir! Baka nagbabakasyon siya ngayon Sir!"

"Ayaw mong tawagan siya dahil nahihiya ka?"

"Yes Mr. President!"

"Why?"

Why!? Talagang "why" lang!?

"Sir, holiday po ngayon!"

"Mark... Lopez."

0_0

Ma..mark Lopez!?

Pagkarinig ko sa pangalan ko, nanindig ang balahibo ko!

Ngayon lang niya ulit ako tinawag sa buong pangalan ko! At pag ginagawa niya yun, isa lang ang ibig sabihin! Pag hindi ako sumunod sa sinabi niya, gagawa siya ng resignation letter ko! Ginawa na niya noon yun kaya alam kong kaya niyang gawin ulit yun!

"Sir, I---"

"I don't remember giving you a punishment yet."

Me: (꒪⌓꒪)

"Sabi mo kanina gagawin mo lahat ng sasabihin ko para hindi kita sesantehin, tapos heto ka ngayon complaining with such a simple thing. You didn't expect me to give you a car after ignoring my car right? I was trying to be nice, and here you are.. raising your voice at me. Unbelievable. Napakasimple ng pinapagawa ko sayo, you should even be thankful. But if you wish, sige, ako nalang ang tatawag kay Director Choi.."

Tatayo na sana siya pero pinigilan ko siya! Darn it! I can't let him do that!!!!

"Ta..tatawagan na ho Sir!" After saying that, he smirked, then get back on his posture.

AhHhH! He is unbelievable! Nakuha pa niyang ngumiti! Gustong gusto niya talaga akong pinapakaba! Eto siya cool na cool, samantalang ako, durog na durog na ang pagkatao ko! Luhaan kong idinial ang number ni Director Choi. Kakapalan ko na ang mukha ko! Bahala siya, siya naman ang nag-utos hindi ako, tagatawag lang niya ako!

Ano ba kasing klaseng tao siya at lahat nalang nagagawan niya ng rason!? Kind!? Kind my ass! May kind bang nang-aabala!?

At tama ba namang ibuking niya na iniisip kong bukas reregaluhan niya ako ng kotse.... sa harap ko mismo!? How can he be so rude!!!

I talked to Director Choi, at tama ang hinala ko, nag-babakasyon nga siya. Kung hindi ko lang talaga kinapalan ang mukha ko hindi ko na itutuloy ang usapan. Pero nilakasan ko ang loob ko, dahil alam kong nakataya sa biodata ng mga emplyedo ang future namin ni Andie Lee-Lopez!

As usual, hindi nag-complain si Diretor Choi at sinabi niyang ipapaayos niya agad ang documents at makukuha ko ito agad bago mag dinner!

Oh talagang mahal na mahal niya si Zeffa! Mahal na mahal na mahal niya dahil gaya ko ayaw rin niyang magawan ng resignation letter!

My conversation with Director Choi lasted for more than 2 minutes. Kailangan kasi niyang putulin ang usapan namin para tawagan ang aayos nung request ko. Hindi nagtagal, tinawagan niya ako para sabihing inayos na niya yung pinapagawa ni Zeffa.

After I ended the call, I immediately reported to Zeffa. But before I could say something to him he immediately said:

"Cancel it. I'll have it some other time. You made me waste 10 minutes of my precious time." Kumulo ang dugo ko ng narinig ko ang sinabi niya! Gusto kong dukutin ang mata niya at pag-buhol buholin ang mga bituka niya hanggang sa mag-makaawa siya na sabihing mas gwapo ako kaysa sa kanya! Hindi ko na kayang pigilan ang sarili ko! I stood in front of him! Sesante na kung sesante, wala akong pakialam! Sasabihin ko lahat ng gusto kong sabihin!

"Zeffa!" I yelled.

"..Zeffa?" 

"You----" I broke off when somebody interrupted me.

"What is the thing you're going to cancel?" Sabi niya. Sino ang nakikisawsaw sa usapan namin!? 

I searched for the person who interrupted between our conversation! Wala akong pakialam kahit sino pa siya! Mabuti na yun at nang may makatestigo sa pagpapahirap na ipaparanas ko kay Zeffa ngayon!

"Not again.." He murmured.

"Sino!?" I followed the direction he's looking at! "Who---"
