[34] MR. PROFESSIONAL

GAIL'S POV

"Kuya, ano'ng ginagawa niya dito?! Don't tell me... Don't tell me he works here?!" I hysterically blurted out as soon as I stepped in his office. Maraming files ang nakasalansang sa desk niya, pati ang laptop niya ay nakabukas pa. Obviously, he's busy right now but I don't care kahit siya pa ang CEO ng kumpanya. Kailangan kong malaman kung bakit nandito ang lalaking yun sa kumpanya.

"Relax, Crystal Gail. Yung ugat mo, puputok na. Sige ka," he motioned me to sit down so I did, across Jade. He then smiled casually to me. "Sorry if I didn't inform you about this matter. You see, napakabusy ko ngayon. Sorry naman."

I rolled my eyes in irritation. Ang daming sinasabi. Yung tanong ko sa kanya, wala pang sagot. "Kuya Louis, my question was... What is Kurt doing here? Yun nalang ang sagutin mo!"

Yep, it's Kurt. Of all people in the world, why him? Wala namang problema sa akin yun dahil matagal na akong walang pakielam sa kanya pero... Geez. Hindi ko maimagine kung paano ako magtatrabaho kasama siya. I hope my brother will put me away from Lee's department.

"Oh, sorry. Yung utak ko, sabog-sabog na. Anyway, kaya siya nandito dahil nagtatrabaho siya sa kumpanya-----"

I cut his words off before he could finish what's he's about to say. "No! You gotta to be kidding me. Siya? Nagtatrabaho dito?! Are you nuts?"

From soft expression, his face formed a serious frown. "Hindi dahil nagtagal ka sa Germany ay dadalhin mo na dito yang ugaling yan, Crystal Gail. Medyo rude... Nah, naging rude ka na talaga."

Natahimik ako. Of course, I got offended by his statement. Am I that rude?

"So, back to the topic, wala tayong magagawa kung nandito si Kurt. Napag-aralan mo na ba yung binigay kong infos sayo?" He asked and I nodded. "There, nabasa mo naman siguro na may merger na naganap 5 months ago hindi ba?"

Sh*t. 5 months ago? September na ngayon, so nangyari ang merge nung April?

"Nagtatrabaho siya dun sa Kings Corp. as the head of the marketing department, Crystal Gail. So, I think you get my point. Pinalipat dito yung mga employees nila nung naganap ang merger at isa dun si Kurt. Not to mention, he's got awesome records kaya paborito siya ng kumpanya. Now, are we clear?"

Hindi agad ma-sink in sa utak ko ang sinabi ni Kuya. And when those infos shoved finally into my mind, my f*cking mouth bursted out a... "D-amn--"

"C'mon, ituloy mo yan," banta sa akin ni Kuya. Huminga nalang ako ng malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko. Fine! Wala na akong magagawa. Ibig sabihin si Tristan Kurt Lee ang head/marketing manager/team leader ng Marketing department? Oh double sh*t. I'll be working under his team! D-amn.

"Sorry. Nabigla lang naman ako," I said in a low tone. 

"Good. Be professional. Ayon sa observation ko naman kay Kurt, wala kang magiging problema sa kanya. I think he's completely moved on. Ikaw ba?"

I smiled confidently. Sa dami ba naman ng naka-date at naging boyfriend ko sa Germany, hindi pa ba ako makakamove on? And to hell with the years I've been away. "Of course, I am." 

"Good then, let me take you to your office."

Office... I thought I have my own office but dang, I only have a cubicle like the other employees. Hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit nakangiwi rin si Jade sa akin. Bakit ba kasi wala akong sariling office? At naalala ko nalang na hindi pala ganun kataas ang posisyon ko sa department na ito. Tsk!

"Everyone! May I call on your attention, please," Kuya Louis clapped his hands to catch everyone's attention so they all stopped on what they're doing and looked to us. "Good morning. Gusto ko lang kayong iinform na may bago na kayong makakatrabaho. She's Crystal Gail Rivera, my younder sister... and---" He stopped and then leaned on me to whisper. "Content Creator ka lang pero ba't may secretary ka pa?"
