Chapter 10

I entered the office door of Leondale Mendrez. As I entered his office room I found him busy reading some papers on his table.

Honestly, I'm a bit nervous because this is my first time with him. Though, I know him but still yeah, awkward. Lalo na't siya ang pinakaayaw na lalaki ni Limwell na dumidikit sa akin.

"Good morning, Sir Dale." I greeted him, shyly.

He lifted his head. I was shocked when he smiled at me from ear to ear. I press my hands secretly in a dramatic way.

I also don't know why he's smiling like that, Limwell. I swear. If you are thinking about this, you must erase it! He's just my boss, and that's it!

Oh... well, he doesn't have any idea about this pala.

"Good morning, too, Ms. Macalia."

He went on the side of his table. He gets the bouquet of flowers and he starts to walk through my direction.

Okay? What's happening? I don't understand his actions.

"This is for you. For your first day of work and class." he handed me the bouquet of flowers.

Alanganin ko itong tinanggap. "Thank you. You don't need to do it naman, e', but still thank you."

"I just want to give you. Is it a bad thing to give my employee a bouquet of flowers?" he asked me, innocently.

I shook my head. I half smiled at him, "Okay. Where should I start my class first?"

While holding the bouquet, he walks closely through my direction. He is biting his lips, to make him look like thinking about it.

"I think you should start your class in painting something that makes you remember your loved ones."

It blinked my eyes. Seriously? Ang dami ko nang napaint na ganoon! Hindi niya ba tinignan ang mga painting ko? Nandoon din naman ang mga dekripsyon ng mga paint na 'yon.

"But I already did it-"

"I want another version of it. I want you to change it into creative and unique artworks." He paused, "Is that okay?"

I took a deep sigh, even though I don't want to do it anymore I don't have any choice. Still, I need to obey him because he's my boss here, manager rather.

I nodded my head, slowly. "Oh... it's okay. Don't worry, I'll start it right now."

"Good. You may proceed in room 241, art room and you can start your work."

I nodded again, "Hmm... okay. Thanks."

"You can work alone, right? Ikaw lang mag isa doon dahil masyado kang napaaga."

Of course, I can. I'm not scared, I'm not a child anymore to make myself afraid of being alone. I can be independent.

"Yup. Don't worry too much, Dale. I also do my work alone when I'm bored. Minsan ay napapalayo pa nga ako sa Isla Delavella para dito."

He grinned, "You're really amazing. That's why I like you here."

"Got you!" I said and I left the room.

I prepared the materials on my other side. I texted Limwell that I have artwork to do. He replied immediately that's why I'm contented that he will not bother me.

I'm not used to being bothered when I'm doing my masterpiece. I don't want that. Gusto ko ay focus ako sa isang bagay na ginagawa ko. Hindi ko gustong naiistorbo dahil baka mawala ako sa focus at makalimutan ang dapat kong gawin.
