Marrying Glaiza De Castro (Book 1)

I glance at my Cartier wristwatch, fifteen minutes before eight o'clock. I was in the middle of a heavy traffic and there's no way I could reached DCC on time.

Fuck this traffic!

Pinilit kong gumising ng maaga ... 8am, that's breaking the record considering that I don't I get up 'til the clock hits eleven. Para sa'kin hangga't hindi pa tirik na tirik ang araw, gabi pa. I am a night person and it suits perfectly fine with my line of work in New York. Well, not until today where I need to do some babysitting with "the high and mighty" Glaiza De Castro.

Bakit naman kase kailangan pa ng assistant, may secretary naman? What is she, some kind of a celebrity? If I know, she just wanted to show off. Damn her and her money!

I couldn't contain my irritation so I decided to turn on my car's sterio, just to lessen up my raging emotions. I searched for a good radio station and after a few flipping, I decided to settle in some station where in Arianna Grande song was playing. I held the volume up, walang pakialam sa mga katabihan kong sasakyan na napatingin sa kotse ko dahil sa malakas kong pagpapatutog.

The hell I care! Bulong ng isip ko na lalo pang itinodo ang volume at sinabayan ang isa sa mga paborito kong kanta ni Arianna.

Halos isang oras akong stuck sa traffic at pakiramdam ko hindi na ko fresh kaya sa halip na sa opisina ng big boss ako magtuloy pagkarating ko sa DCC Building, dumaan muna ako sa restroom, just to freshen up.

I took one last glance at the mirror, and smiled at my own reflection.

You can do this Rhian! You were born a fighter and today is just like any other day. Just wear your best smile and bring it!

"Yeah, I can do this!" Malakas na sang ayon ko sa sinasabi ng isip ko.

Maluwang ang ngiting naglakad ako sa hallway ng forty six floor patungo sa opisina ng CEO. Nakailang katok ako sa pinto pero walang sumagot kaya napilitan akong buksan ang pinto at pumasok na lang ng kusa sa loob.

Nadatnan ko si Glaiza na may kausap sa telepono at agad itong napakunot noo ng masulyapan ako.

I sat on the chair in front of her table, same one that I used yesterday and waited for her until she's done talking to whoever it is in the other line.

After a few minutes, I heard her bid goodbye and put her phone down on her table. With a grim face she turned to me.

"I'm s--" I was about to utter my apology for arriving late but then she cut me off.

"Do you know what time is it Miss Howell?" She asked in a formidable manner.

I quickly glance at my wristwatch.

"Ten twenty five ...?" I said, suddenly became unsure of myself.

"Ten twenty five." She repeated. "Alam mo ba kung anong oras pumapasok ang mga empleyado ko dito?"
