First Love of A Royal Prince (Wattys 2018)

Untitled Part 44

"Good morning, Miss Arrissa," my assistant greeted me. I nodded my head at her.

"What happened yesterday? May dumating bang kliyente?" I asked her.

"Wala naman po, Miss... Pero may nag-a-apply po sa atin. Kahit anong trabaho daw po," 

I frowned. Meron bang ganun? Kahit anong trabaho ang kaya niyang pasukan? Pumasok ako sa opisina ko na nakasunod sa akin ang assistant ko.

"What's his name?"

"Kaloy Jimenez daw po, Miss Arrissa," she read the paper she was holding. "Actually, Miss Arrissa, pinabalik ko po siya ngayong araw. Para po kayo na ang kumausap at mag-evaluate sa kanya."

"No problem," i smiled at her. Kinuha ko naman sa bag ko ang nakuhang notes sa meeting kahapon. Inabot ko ito sa kanya. "By the way, that's the information of our client. Twins ang i-o-organize nating party. To follow na lang daw ang venue because of security reason."

"Hala! Ibig sabihin, Miss Arrissa malaking tao na naman po ang client natin?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya.

"Yes. But I knew the client, he's my c-classmate from college," I stuttered a bit when I said classmate.

Really, Arrissa? Was he really just your classmate?

"Ooh... That's great, Miss," she nodded her head and smiled cheerfully. "I'll go now, Miss. Baka nandyan na po yung applicant natin."

"Okay. Send him to my office once he arrived," I opened my laptop to check some emails from the client. I opened my private email account, its for client concerns account. Meron kaming public email account na pwedeng gamitin ng mga tao para ma-contact kami. 

"Yes, Miss Arrissa."

I nodded my head without looking at her. Nagsimula na ako sa pagre-response sa mga client. Yung iba ay nanghihingi ng update para sa event na pinapa-organize nila. Yung iba naman ay feedback galing sa mga client namin.

May napansin akong isang email sa akin na galing sa kilala kong tao. I clicked the message and read the content.

From: Matthew Salvine

To: Arrissa Biannca Vincent

"Wow. He remembered my second name," I commented.

Dear Arrissa,

Good day, Arrissa! Can we meet again? It's for the twins party. I just want to discuss something with you. Please say yes. Have a good day ahead, beautiful.

Always yours, 

Matthew Salvine

I closed my laptop when I heard someone knocked on my door. Fearing they will know that it's the love of my life was the one who emailed me.

"Who's that?" I asked the person who knocked.

"I'm sorry to disturbed you, Miss Arrissa. I'm just sending the applicant to you," my assistant's voice muffled to the door.

"Oh! Already?" I stood up straight. "Bring him in."

Bumukas ang pinto at ang unang pumasok ay ang assistant ko. Sumunod naman ang lalaking sa tingin ko ay kaedaran ko lang.

"This is the applicant, Miss Arrissa. Kaloy Jimenez," pagpapakilala ng assistant ko. I look at him. He's looking at me while smiling. I can see that he's intimidated on me even if he's smiling.

Tumayo ako at umikot para makaharap siya ng mabuti. I stretched my hand and offered it to him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jimenez," he looked stunned.
