A LOVE THAT STARTED IN MY BOSS' OFFICE

CHAPTER 9

Fere's POV

Mukhang effective ang truce namin ni Sir Yuseff. After naming uminom, which I burst my hidden pain naging kalmado naman sya sa paguutos sa akin. And yes, inuutusan nya pa din ako pero may please na.

Effective din ata yun para mawala ang highblood nya sa sangkatauhan dito sa opisina. At sa wakas, binigyan nya na ako ng kalayaang kumain. Nakakapagcoffee break na din ako at naglulunch ng isang oras.

Mukhang unti unti ng nagiging tao ang kampon ni Hades.

"Hi Fere!" Bati ni Sam na animoy nagaaudition sa isang toothpaste commercial

Sumimangot naman ako sa dala nyang folders. Yes folder with an S. Legal department talaga ang pinakanagpapahirap ng buhay ko.

"Ay, bakit hindi ka ngumingiti?"

"Eh kasi naman andami mong dalang folder. Overtime na naman ako."

4:00 pm na kasi, may apat na folder pa akong gagawin. Nakakaloka talaga ang trabaho ko.

"Hahahaha. Ano ka ba! Props ko lang to! Yayayain lang kita lumabas mamaya."

"Talaga? Walang laman yan?"

"Haha. Wala promise. Alam mo, props lang talaga to para malapitan kita."

"Haiii. Salamat naman. Pero kasi walang kasama ang mga kapatid ko sa bahay eh. Pwede bang next time na lang tayo lumabas?"

"Ganun ba? Haii."

"Ui, Sammy Boy! Wag ka na malungkot please."

"Eh kasi naman."

"Next time talaga Sam. Bukas na lang ng lunch?"

"Sige na nga. Una na ako ha? See you!"

"Bakit hindi mo naman pinagbigyan yung si Sam?" tanong ni Bianca

"Bi, madami akong problema sa buhay. Love life ang least on my list. Malandi ako kaya kailangan kong magpigil, loka loka pa naman ako pag nainlove kaya no no no ako sa konsepto ng love hangga't nagaaral pa si Faye."

"Aba! Baliw ka nga. 7 yrs old lang si Faye at Grade 1 pa lang yun, jusko bago mag k-12 expired na ang matres mo!"

"Okay lang."

"Ay baliw nga. Eto na nga ang folder bababa na nga ako."

I smiled at her at ginawa na itong last folder ko.

Yuseff's POV

I've been hell frustrated with Ferella's sudden burst. I very well know Enriquez Shipping Lines, minsan ko na din silang nakatransact and yes, nakakapagtaka na napalubog ng isang passenger ship ang 100 pang fleet which includes cargo ship. I have talked with Lola and Patricia and they confirmed everything.

For a brat who never understood a single responsibility, it took all her courage and faith in the leap of taking good care of her sisters. I asked some people to investigate on how it happened. Maybe a little help would make my sins a little forgivable.

I was on the doorway when I heard her talking with another girl.

"Bakit hindi mo naman pinagbigyan yung si Sam?" tanong ni Bianca na taga HR, if I am not mistaken ito ang assistant ni Ma'am Darlene

"Bi, madami akong problema sa buhay. Love life ang least on my list. Malandi ako kaya kailangan kong magpigil, loka loka pa naman ako pag nainlove kaya no no no ako sa konsepto ng love hangga't nagaaral pa si Faye."

"Aba! Baliw ka nga. 7 yrs old lang si Faye at Grade 1 pa lang yun, jusko bago mag k-12 expired na ang matres mo!"

"Okay lang."

How could a brat like her be this responsible? Masyado na ba akong nag gegenaralize ng mga brat? Am I being too judgemental?

I know her since she's young. She is Patricia's friend who loves to bully, she is the girl who got boyfriends everywhere, she's that girl with overflowing confidence and now, all I can see is a girl with beautiful heart and soul. I suddenly compared her with Kristina, my ex-fiance. Kristina did not grew up with everything but she turned to be so in love with material things. Not unlike this lady sitting on the desk before my office. This lady who've got everything but turned out to be more inlove with responsibility than the life she used to have.

Haiii Yuseff. Get a grip of yourself! Arggh. I know she's beautiful but seeing her on this side won't really help me. Haii.

"Ay demonyo!" gulat na sabi nya pagbukas ng pinto

"What did you call me?"

"Ay sorry naman po Sir. Sorry talaga. Hindi ko kayo napansin. Teka nga, bakit ka ba kasi anjan Sir? Sinisilayan mo ba ako?" She asked with her brows up and down

"What are you talking about???"

"Aysus tanggi pa sya. Alam mo Sir, hindi ako nagpapaligaw sa iba, pero kung ikaw, aba papayag ako! Ang guwapo mo! hihihi "

"Ehemmn. Should I call you now cousin-in-law?"

Nagulat na lang kami sa biglaang pagsulpot ni Patricia.

"Advance ka naman masyado Patchiebells! Nagliligawan pa lang kami. Iwan ko muna kayo. Ui Patch, wag mo ako siraan sa manliligaw ko ha? Hahahahaha."

And Ferella walk out laughing.

"And was what that Kuya? Are you really romantically involve with Fere?"

"Ofcourse not!"

"Haii naku Kuya, isa lang ang pakiusap ko, please don't hurt her. She've got broken soul don't break her heart too."

"Patricia, you are talking non sense. We're not romantically involved."

"As of now, Eei, I've got hot news for you."

"What is it this time?"

"I saw Kristina and Anthony."

Nakapa ko na naman ang galit na matagal kong iningatan sa puso ko.

"They own this small restaurant near a university. They seemed very happy spending your money."

Naikuyom ko ang mga kamay ko sa galit. How can they be so happy after they ruined everything. How could they be so happy after they broke me? Hindi ako papayag. I will ruin them too. I will leave them broken to bits until they regret stabbing me.
