We Got Married

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa table ko, halos lahat ng officemates ko nakatingin sakin. Okay weird, what are they looking at?

As I approach my office, alam ko na kung bakit. May mamaw na ang ganda ng upo sa chair ko, with matching patong pa ng paa sa table ko habang may binabasa na folder.

I rolled my eyes at him, naiinis ako sa kanya ngayon.

“Good morning Ms. Roxas, I was waiting for you” sabi nya sakin without moving a muscle.

“Good morning sir. Kita ko nga po eh, sarap ng upo nyo”

“I’m here to inform you, again, na hindi ka pupunta sa QC site today”

That’s what I’m irritated at him for. Kelangan ko na kasi makita yung site to be able to meet up with the suppliers and see kung appropriate ba yung design ko sa size nung lugar.

Apparently Mr. Mamaw can’t come because he has an uncancellable (okay, totally made up that word) meeting. At ang makakasama ko ay yung kapatid nya.

I tried bargaining, compromising even seducing just so payagan nya ko dahil ayokong nade-delay ang trabaho ko. Eh hindi siya nag-concede.

Leche lang diba?! Trabaho ko toh eh.

“And I’m here to inform you again sir na it’s not gonna happen since kelangang kelangan ko na makausap yung suppliers. And I’m not gonna waste my time sitting here pondering about nonsense when I can be doing work” mataray kong sabi.

Tumingin siya sakin ng masama, I returned the glare. Oh no Xander, you cannot do this to me!

“For the last time Ms. Roxas,” emphasizing my maiden name,”no going to the site” sabay tayo.

Oh whatever! As if susundin ko siya noh!

I’m makulit, and he knows it. Kaya wala siyang magagawa kug gusto ko pumunta dun today.

I just snorted. Umiling iling naman siya bago umalis. I flipped my hair at umupo na.

Kung hindi lang ako inis sa kanya ngayon, ikatutuwa kong amoy Xander tong upuan ko eh. Actually, come to think of it, natutuwa nga akong amoy Xander ang upuan ko. My chair smells like Xander and I love it.

Nakita kong nagtawanan naman yung mga kaibigan ko dito sa opisina. Kara and the other girls na palagi akong niyaya sa lunch at tinotolerate ang pambibitch ko. Cool diba?

Yes, I consider them my friends already, I actually asked them to call me Andy. That just means, I trust them and I’m actually letting them in my world. But not completely dahil hindi ko sinasabi sa kanila yung tungkol samin ni Xander.

Not now, maybe not ever.

I just rolled my eyes at them and proceeded to work.

Hindi ko pa naman tapos yung Palawan project, but I’m almost there. Kaya nga schedule kong pumunta sa QC site ngayon eh.
