Chapter 1

"Name,"

"Sierra Marion,"

Tiningnan ng babae ang resume niya sabay tango.

"How long did you work at your last job?" Nakita niyang tanong nito.

"3 years po," tumango na naman ito habang tumitingin pa rin sa mga trabaho niya.

"Home-based ka with your past work right?" Tanong nito sabay tingin sa kanya.

Nakatingin lang siya sa mukha nito sabay tango.

"Yes,"

"Okay, since we're desperately looking for a graphic designer and you're pretty good at what you do, you're hired."

Nagulat siya.

Siguro nakita ng babaeng nagngangalang Zola base sa nametag nito ang gulat sa mukha niya.

Alam niyang magaling siya as a graphic designer pero ganoon lang kadali yun?

"Don't be so shocked Ms. Marion. Our boss, Mr. Donovan is very strict and efficient. We are urgently looking for someone that is very suitable for this job. You will soon be accustomed with everything. Swerte ako at nag-apply ka this day. With your skill based on your resumé, you are a professional graphic designer and that is more to me. You just saved me my job." Sabi nito. Ang haba ng sinabi nito, mabuti nalang malumanay itong magsalita at hindi masyadong mabilis.

Nagtaka siya kung bakit ganun nalang ito magsalita pero wala na siyang pakialam. Basta nakakuha na siya ng trabaho.

Kukuha siya ng apartment na malapit lamang sa company na ito. Makakalayo na siya sa Papa niya at mag-isang titira sa apartment. Mas mabuti pa ang ganon. It's comfortable for the both of them. Well, she didn't really plan to live in her father's house again. It will only bring them pain.

Tumingin muna siya sa mukha ng babae bago nagsalita.

"When can I start Ma'am?"

"You can start tomorrow Ms. Marion. I will meet you at the entrance at 7:00 sharp in the morning. I will be the one to help you introduce yourself to the staffs and show you to the whole office where you will start working. Is that okay?" Tanong nito.

Dahan-dahan siyang tumango at ngumiti naman ang babae.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Congratulations." Sabi nito at nakipagkamay.

Napahinga ng malalim si Sierra. Kaya niya kayang makipaghalubilo sa napakaraming tao? Kakayanin niya kaya?

Pero nakalagay naman sa resumé niya ang problema niya and for sure nakita yun ni Ma'am Zola. Pero natanggap pa rin siya.

So that means, she really is hired. Kahit papaano, masaya siya.

She hopes everything will work out.

. . .

"Sir, I already hired a graphic designer. She has plenty of experience about her job. And here, are the resumés of the applicants for the editorial director spot."

Ibinigay ng babae ang mga resumé at inilagay sa table niya habang pumipirma siya ng mga papeles.

"This is the resumé of the hired graphic designer Sir. She knows what she does. A deans lister and had already finished her Masters degree in Multimedia Arts and isa rin siyang writer kaya hindi na po ako nagdalawang isip na tanggapin siya. You can look at her works-"

"Okay Zola, I can check it myself. If she isn't as good as what you're telling me right now. I will fire her and you as well. Understood?" Sabi niya sa babae at napatango ito.
