May FOREVER ba sa NEW YORK?

CHAPTER 8: UNANG PAGKIKITA

It's 6:00 in the morning. While having coffee and eating hotdog, bacon and sinangag, Purity kissed and hugged Honesty. "Good Luck Beshie ah. Happy ako ngaun kasi may trabaho ka na ulit. Pero sigurado ka ba na kaya mo ang housekeeping? At sana naman ay mabait ang magiging amo mo. Hindi ko sukat maisip kasi bes kung bakit nagapply ka sa ganyang trabaho eh." Purity shook her head and raised a brow at her.

"Anu ka ba bes? Sa panahon ngaun di ba sabi ko bawal ang choosy. Lalo na dito sa Amerika. Dapat kakayanin mo kahit na anong trabaho. Basta ang importante ay may kita, may datung...ganoin! Tsaka, something new na rin sa akin ang trabaho na ito at kakayanin ko bes." Honestia's mouth was full with sinangag and hotdog while she uttered these words to Purity. "Don't worry Purity, I'm gonna be ok."

"Ok, sabi mo yan ah beshie. Oh siya, magbibihis na ako at kailangan kong pumasok ng maaga kasi may bago kaming client ni Steph sa boutique. Recommended siya ni Mr. Aaron Irving sa amin. Purity left the table and walked towards her room.

"Sino ba ang bago niyong client ah, beshie?" Honestia followed Purity while holding her spongebob mug and then sipped the coffee inside.

Purity shrugged smugly, "Hay naku bes, si ADRIAN JERALD SANTOS CARLMAS lang naman."

"OMG beshie!!!!! Si Adrian!!!!! Kingina Purity, si crush!!!!! Uy, baka naman pwede mo ako ihingi ng autograph beshie....please naman oh, tapos palagyan mo na rin ng dedication." Honesty suddenly moved closer to Purity and with her eyes begging for what she said a moment after.

"Ano ka ba Honestia, sa ating dalawa ikaw ang matanda, tapos ikaw itong makaasta na parang batang fangirl lang. HAHAHAHA... Client yun at hindi artista noh tsaka playboy kaya yun. Ganun ang mga mayayaman maraming babae." Purity spelled out.

"Grabe ka naman beshie! Napakajudgmental mo agad kay papa Adrian. Ang gwapo kaya niya at nabasa ko na mabait din siya. May lahing Pinoy kaya siya kasi nanay ata niya ay Pinay. Sige na, hingi mo naman ako ng dedication at pirma niya dito sa magazine na binili ko." Honesty handed Purity the same magazine that she saw in the boutique.

"Ewan ko nga sayo Honestia. Mag asikaso ka na at maaga ka pang pupunta sa Manhattan Housekeeping Agency. Baka mamaya maging BATO pa yan trabaho mo sa kakaimagine mo diyan." Purity said abruptly to Honesty and pushed her away from her room laughing.

"Minsan talaga hindi ko maintindihan itong si Honestia. Mas matanda sa akin pero ang isip parang sa bata lang palibhasa hindi pa naiinlove eh." Purity mumbled to herself.

PURITY'S POV

Purity arrived at the boutique fifteen minutes before 8. Before settling down her bag and coat at her locker, she heard Steph calling her.

"Purity, I need you to go to Mr. Carlmas' office now. His secretary called a while ago and told me that he couldn't be here at the boutique because of an important appointment with his personnel. He would also have a meeting with his construction engineering executives. So, he requested someone from our boutique to bring him some of our latest catalogues." Stephanie informed me with a smile on her face.

"Stephanie, why ME? You are the supervisor of this boutique and besides it is you who usually coordinates with well-to-do personalities." Purity emitted a long and deep breath while looking at Steph. She couldn't help to show uneasiness with what she wanted her to do.

"Purity, dear, I can't leave the boutique because I'm also expecting the father of Taylor Swift. He will be here at 9am. (Steph glanced at her watch.) Besides, you are my best sales associate for this boutique. I also believe that you can also persuade Mr. Carlmas to obtain his approval of getting some of his ensemble that will definitely help increase our sales." Stephanie begged for my answer. She had been so good to me for a year now. She's a good friend too and very much willing to teach me about selling and managing this boutique.
