The Escort

Chapter 1

"Nora! Nora!" kahit kaylang talaga mabagal kumilos itong secretary na ito I wonder why I hired her!

"Yes ma'am." she said entering my office.

"Where the hell is the presentation I asked you earlier?!" I shouted at her.

"Ma'am inabot ko na po sainyo kanina." she said.

"Kung binigay mo saakin kanina edi sana andito na!" pinapagalit talaga ako neto.

"Ma'am gagawa nalang po ako ng bago." she said, and I nodded at her.

God! They're giving me head ache. I removed my reading glass to clear my eyes and head. I lay back at my chair. Close my eyes and take a deep breath.

I open my eyes, and look at my watch. It's already 8:30 pm.

"Nora! are you done?" I asked her.

She entered my office and said "Ma'am not yet. Please give me more time ma'am." she pleaded.

"Okay, tomorrow at 10 I want it at my desk. Do you understand?" and she nodded.
"Okay, you can go home."

*

I drove back home, I just ordered at the fast food for my dinner.

Before entering to my house, I decided to check my mail box. And I found an small envelope. I didn't botjer to open it it's so dark outside moon lit is the only luminous I had.

I entered my house and turned on the lights on my porch.

I plop on the sofa after locking the door, I ate my dinner and climbed upstairs to have a bubble bath.

I discard all my clothing including my undies, I turned on the fauset amd wait till the tub gets full. While waiting I brushed my teeth.

I soaked myself at the tub, and closed my eyes.

God! Feels like heaven to have a kind of bath loke this.

I felt sleep is envading, so I stand up and dried myself using towel and put my PJ's on, climbed to bed and fell asleep.

*

I saw a man standing in front of me, but I can't see his face, all I can see is his broad shoulder. He's in suit and tie I can tell because all the people here were in suit.

He seems nice because he's mingling with other people. But all of them were girls. Is he womanizer?

Am I checking on him. What's wrong with that he can't even see me drolling over him. I can tell he's very attractive, his hair cut, his broad shoulders, his biceps, his height and lastly his butt. God! He has a very nice but.

I walk sideways, if only I could see his face but I didn't. All I did see is he's wearing eye glasses, oh heavenly god. I love his nerdy looks.

Then suddenly I heard a clock ringing, on and on. I'm looking for it but I can't find  an alarm clock here. It turned of, back to the lad. But I'm not at the party anymore I realized I'm back at the real world. F*ck! It's just a dream! But feels like real.

*

I climbed off to bed and ran downstairs.

I opened the fridge to look for my break fast. I took out one egg and 3 pieces of bacon. I will fry it and make a egg sandwich with bacon. A sandwich can make myorning. No wonder I have a small petite body, pero bawing bawi ako sa height mga bes.

Before I entered business industry I was once a model. Yeah, you read it right I'm a model before.

*

I was putting my shoes when I remember about the envelope last night. I ran to kitchen and thank god, it's here akala ko nawala na.

I opened it and saw it was an invitation for a black tie party, which means I have to had a date for that night. It's from my major client so I have to attend it or else I can't close the deal.

*

I drove to the office having thoughts of who would escort me to that party. Hindi pa ako nakakarating sa office sumasakit na ulo ko.

"Good morning ma'am." pagbati saaking ng mga nagtatrabaho saakin. I jist nooded at them, which dictates them that I don't have a good morning. So they just go back to work.

Kilalang kilala na kasi nila ako, they're working for me for 4 years. Pag sumagot ako ng good morning ibig sabihin good and umaga ko, but if it's just a nod it's not good.

One time, I eavesdropped them talking about how I terrorize them. One said "Si ma'am talaga walang pinag kaiba kay Lucifer." they all laughed and the other said "Kaya nga Lucy Fernandez pangalan niya e, which means LucyFer." at nilakasan pa nila ang tawa mga bes. My fists was curling into balls but I realized I need them here. Ayoko namang mawalan mga magagaling na tao. Yes, I admit it. I'm so hard to them because I want them to give their best in working. And I know they're good.

*

I head straight to my office, wala pang 10 o'clock but the presentation na pinagawa ko kay Nora nandito na.

"Nora?" I called her.

She entered my office "Yes madam." she answer.

"Your presentation is good huh, I'd love it." I tell her and she smiled.

"Thank you ma'am." she smiled back, and turned back to her table.

Ganon lang naman yun e, if you've done good I will say good things to you, but if not. I will eat you alive.
