She's So Extra (Kiligserye Book1) | ✅

Chapter 29

Sabi nila time flies when you're having fun, I guess this is true dahil yung two weeks na nakalipas is parang super bilis. Siguro dahil araw araw akong masaya, kahit stressed pa sa trabaho at wala na akong panahon makipag date ulet kay Chuck ayos lang, we talk every day and every time we do it just feels normal. Parang we've been together for more than just two weeks and I'm slowly finding out that more and more I like the Chuck I'm getting to know little by little, day by day.

Also, ngayong I'm living the life I want to – although hindi pa sya perfect ngayon, na-realize kong hindi ko kailangan ang romcoms ko as much as I needed it before. Pag ang buhay mo nagiging pang pelikula or tv series na, you don't feel the need to watch them anymore. Parang mare-realize mong mas maganda na ang buhay mo kesa sa mga pinapanood mo. Yun lang kailangan mo talagang ipagdasal na di kagaya ng mga napapanood mo na sana kasing swerte ka ng bida na maging happy rin ang ending mo.

Kakaisip ko sa mga pelikula hindi ko namalayan na may tao na pala sa cubicle ko.

Nag-give up na ba sya?" I swirl in my chair to face Ms. Claire na nakasandal sa cubicle ko with her arms crossed over her chest.

I give her a confused expression, "Who po ma'am?"

She nods towards my table, "It's been a while since I've seen flowers on your table. Binasted mo na?"

Napangiti lang ako kasi I told Chuck na we need to keep a low profile so ang ginagawa nya ngayon is he leaves the bouquet of flowers in the passenger seat of his car, pag uwian na nya binibigay sa sakin. So even if my table is bare, my room is not. Super flowery ang kwarto ko with the flowers he's been giving.

Tumingin lang ako sa boss ko at nag-shrug, "Nanawa na siguro ma'am."

He twists her lips, "He's not worth it then."

Hindi na ako sumagot, dahil ano naman isasagot ko diba? I'm being sobrang careful in talking to her lalo na ngayon, I feel a slight twinge of guilt every time I have to lie or not tell her the whole truth.

She sighs, "Anyway, how's the planning of the Teambuilding? Do you need me for anything? I have time now if you can update me."

"Okay ma'am." I stand up and unplug my laptop then follow her into her office.

I show Ms. Claire some of the things na napag-decide-an namin ng committee, syempre dahil kasama sa committee si Chuck it's been challenging not to interact with him sa meeting the way I want to – for example? Pag may sinabi syang bright idea hindi ko pwedeng kurutin ang pisngi nya sa gigil or pag napagod na ako sa pagtayo hindi ako pwedeng kumandong sa kanya kahit na gustong gusto ko, yung mga ganung tipo.

Tsaka para kaming may warden pag nandun si May, it's like she's waiting for something to happen para may maireport sya sa mga kaibigan nyang mosang, or worse she can tell Ms. Claire about my and Chuck's relationship. She's being very cooperative at nag-dududa ako sa intentions nya, Chuck tells me I'm just paranoid pero iba ang instinct ng babae kaya alam kong may pinaplanong kakaiba tong si May – di ko pa nga lang sure kung ano.

"This looks great, Andi. Good work, give the team my congratulations." Ms. Claire smiles at me and I puff out my chest na parang panabong na manok sa pagka-proud. Sana lang mag-materialize lahat ng plans.

"Thanks ma'am. We also need you to give a welcome speech when we get there, para lang ma-boost yung morale ng mga tao and to get them excited with what we have planned for them." I look over at her while folding my laptop.

She leans back on her chair, "Do I need to? I mean, you guys should do it since you worked hard for it, I don't want to take any of the credit."

See? Super nice talaga tong si Ms. Claire.
